Not sure of what your looking for here. Your not giving me any info to go on. Just the model number of your amp.

If you need the signal flow, that is just:
Board to EQ
EQ to amp in (Ch 1 or 2, or A&B)
Positive of amp to Positive of speaker
Negative of amp to Negative of speaker

It would help if I knew what kind of monitors your looking to hook up. What type of board your using? If your doing this for a FOH console? Do you have a monitor console?

Can you give me a little more?

OK, this little board has two aux sends to it.

I don't have the manual to it, but it looks to be that aux one, is tied to the blue monitor fader on your board.

What you need to do, is take a TRS 1/4" cable (That is the balanced guitar cable) and put that is Aux send one of your board.

If you have a 31 band graphic EQ, Then the other end of the TRS cable goes to the input of the EQ. If you don't have an EQ, Then that TRS cable goes to the input of Channel one of the amp.

If you do have the EQ then the output of the EQ goes to channel one of the amp.

Form there, run your speaker cable out to your monitor. That's all there is to it.

Now, put the fader that is labeled monitor up to 0, or unity gain.

Turn Aux send one up on the channel that you want to hear in the monitor, and all should be good.
