Thanks for the info. As I don't know much about mixers, I was trying to
know what the various outputs meant and I actually had no idea for the
"monitor" outputs :) I'm getting to know the mixer bit-by-bit. It is a
Electro-Voice BK-1232 Stereo Mixer and not much documentation was
available for it on the web.
