INTRODUCTION:
The MYMonitorII lets a performer hear them self through
headphones exclusively or mixed with the output of a
mixer or other stereo source. The microphone thru
provides a direct connection to your mixer and allows for
phantom powering of condenser microphones from the
board.
The instrument/line input and thru connections allow you
to locally monitor your instrument while still connecting
direct to your amplifier.
While supplied with a 12V DC adapter, the MYMonitorII
can also be battery powered for portable applications.
The pop-less microphone on/off switch lets you locally
mute the microphone. The headphone section has
independent 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch outputs with plenty of
drive for both.
The product is designed for the highest quality audio
performance and its compact rugged package will give
you years of reliable use.

FEATURES:
• High performance low noise circuitry
• Microphone input and thru with pop-less on/off mute
• Instrument/Line input and thru jacks
• Stereo Monitor input
• Monitor Out / Headphone output section has 1/8-
inch and 1/4-inch jacks
• 9V battery and 12V DC power operation
• Compact and rugged package is designed for years
of use
• Perfect for professional, home, and project studios

INSTALLATION and OPERATION:
1. Connect your microphone output to the XLR
MICROPHONE INPUT. Next connect the XLR
MICROPHONE THRU directly to the XLR microphone
input on you mixer. Your microphone can be phantom
powered from your mixer, if needed, as the MYMonitorII
will allow power to pass directly through the units XLR
connections.
2. Connect your instrument, line, or speaker level
signal to the INST/LINE INPUT. Connect a 1/4-inch
phone jack cable from the INSTRUMENT/LINE THRU
and the other end to where your signal was going to,
The MYMonitorII is then inline with the feed to your
amplifier or other device.
3. Connect your mixers monitor output or other stereo
source to the STEREO MONITOR INPUT.
4. Connect headphones or other stereo monitoring
system to the MONITOR OUT/HEADPHONES outputs.
One or both outputs can be used at the same time.
5. Connect the supplied 12V DC power supply to the
MYMonitorII or install a 9V battery for portable
operation. Push the POWER switch in to enable power
and the switch will light red if power is available. When
using a battery for power, be sure to turn the POWER
switch off when not using the unit in order to maximize
battery life.
6. When using a microphone source, pushing the MIC
switch in will mute the microphones audio signal (off).

7. The INST/LINE switch, when in the out position,
gives you enough gain for instrument level signals. If
you have a higher line or speaker level signal then push
the switch in and the signal will be attenuated at the
input to prevent clipping.
8. Once connections have been made and switches
set you can adjust the front panel level controls for the
desired signal levels at the headphone/monitor outputs.
The local monitor mix and level are only applied to local
monitor outputs. The source microphone and instrument
signals are still fed directly thru the unit to any other
equipment connected to the thru connections.
