Firepod and studio monitor

[::XeS::]

Hi Firepod users
How do you connect the monitors to the firepod? Through the main cr output?
How it works? Output 1 for left channel and 2 for right channel?
I'm very curious because the powered monitors have the volume pot in one of the two speaker..and if you connect 2 speaker in 2 separate output, I don't understand how it works..
Which monitors do you use with firepod?What type of connection/jack?
Could someone explain this?

Thank you all

I use a pair of the JBL LSR4328P running with the firepod. I use 1/4" to XLR cables, running out of the Main CR outs (1 = L, 2 = R).

At least I'm pretty sure that's what I'm running out of, I havn't looked in ages. heh.

Here is a link to the manual, because it'll tell you for sure.

Haeven't checked the pdf but the printed manual doesn't tell you!
Just try by connecting only one monitor and the pan a signal hard left/right to find out which one you've got.
One my FirePod 1=Left 2=Right.

I use Yamaha HS80M's with my Firepod. TRS balanced lead from CR 1 out to the Left Monitor and TRS Balanced lead from CR 2 out to Right Monitor. I set the Volumes on the back to +4dB and control the overall volume with the Main Volume on the front of the Firepod. I never touch the Volumes on the monitors. Don't know if this is right or wrong, but it's what I do.

ive always wondered, if i have say a firepod, and i buy some super snazzy 10,000 dollar mic preamp and i want to use it, where do i plug it into the firepod? wouldnt putting it into any of the inserts make it also go through the firepod preamps also? making it kind of redundant to send a great preamp into a shitty one

I'm curious about that too...
I just set the volume on the monitors to whats the loudest I'm ever going to blast (with the FirePod @ 10). Really interested if that's right or wrong...
