I am running my HD500 direct into PA by taking one of the 1/4 outputs through a DI. I also take paralel out from the DI into an amp for the stage monitoring only. This all works fine (even though I am using the cheapest behringer DI for this).
I would like to eliminate DI to simplify the setup and use XLR outs for directo to PA. Now the question - what is the simplest way to get mono out on XLR? I know some of the options: add a mono effect in the last FX slot, add FX loop in the last FX slot. Any other ideas?
I was thinking to try with FX loop in the last slot and then simply short the FX loop out back into FX return using a short mono cable. Would that work? I guess I would have to play with the FX loop's levels to set the unity gain.
Thanks,
