Foldback:
This
term
refers
to
a
monitoring
system
usually comprising
of another
amplifier
and
onstage
speakers. Foldback
is
used so that
performers
can hear
themselves
while

A foldback (monitod

be connected
to AIIX

because
this is
pre-fader,
which
means
that the
channel
slider has no
effect
on the
aux output.
