Question

I have the Series III 16R StudioLive Preamp/Mixer and a new Presonus HP60 headphone mixer.  I can't figure out how to connect my studio monitors.  Before the Presonus HP60, I connected my studio monitors to the Main Outputs.  But, now the HP60 requires to go from the Main Outs of my mixer into the Input A stereo inputs.  That left me with no way to go from the mixer to the studio powered monitors.  I ended up using two Aux Outputs (1 for left speaker and the other for the right speaker), but this seems inefficient to me AND I could use those Aux for the signals to the HP60 for the instrument monitoring.  Maybe I'm not doing it right.

Answer 1

For headphone use, seems like you could use one of the AUX outs (maybe, setup as a Matrix).  The main outputs of the console should only be used for FOH (or studio speakers).  Anything with a headphone, should be satisfied with an AUX (or Matrix) send.
