MINIMON MON800 User Manual
◊ 
The speaker outputs of the MINIMON provide line-level 
signals. Passive loudspeaker systems must be connected via 
an external integrated amplifier. Active loudspeakers have 
an amplifier built in and can therefore be connected directly 
to the MINIMON outputs.
The two headphones connectors  
(3)
  and  
(15)
  allow you to check your 
mix with a pair of headphones or route a monitor signal to one of the 
musicians. If you want to record several musicians, use the CUE OUT jack   
(19)
  for the connection of a headphones amp (e.g. BEHRINGER MINIAMP 
AMP800).  In this way, each musician can set the volume of his 
headphones separately on the headphones amplifier.
Using a footswitch connected to the TB jack  
(16) 
 you can activate the talk-
back microphone and route the microphone signal to the monitor paths.
A recording device, such as a DAT or CD recorder, can be connected to 
the 2-TRACK OUT outputs  
(20)
.
4.2  Using the MINIMON for signal 
distribution in simple P.A. applications
The MINIMON can also be used for small P.A. systems, 
for example, in cafés and galleries. In this case, the three loudspeaker 
outputs  
(17) 
 and  
(18) 
 can be used for three pairs of speakers set up 
in several rooms. The inputs C and D  
(21) 
 of the MINIMON can be 
connected directly to consumer equipment, such as CD/MD/
cassette players or a radio tuner. If necessary, the built-in talk-back 
microphone  
(11) 
 allows you to make announcements for your guests. 
With an additional set of headphones you can pre-listen to the input 
signals you wish to play back via the audio system. The following 
illustrations shows a possible wiring scheme.
