Default Re: Cannot get Studio Monitor to work w/ 11r

These are STEREO PAIR monitors. They are ment to work together. You know, Left & Right. Like in your headphones. I think you've been screwed.

So even with one plugged in it wouldn’t work?

It would have to be the one with power supply, amplifier, power switch and display like the one to the right here:

But still, you would only be able to hear either left or right of your stereo output from the Eleven, so pretty useless for anything, really.

Actually let me rephrase it another way. Is it because the 11r needs to detect connections in both outputs? If so, would getting a splitter resolve the issue?

I know monitors are typically meant to be left and right, but for this purpose, al I want to do is be able to play a guitar with something other than headphones.

That’s the same one I have.

Well, in that case, good luck with it.
I actually have better things to do.

Check your routing. Maybe the 11R is trying to use other outputs(SPDIF?)

No. This is a standard XLR balanced output, it detects nothing. And many people will run an Eleven Rack in mono mode. The rig setup supports mono deliberately to support this. That is how I largely use an Eleven Rack... driving a single high output full range stage monitor.

Again. It is likely either the cable or monitor. You have to troubleshoot with what is in front of you.. Nobody here can offer you any more advice.

Default Re: Cannot get Studio Monitor to work w/ 11r

Old thread.....but I just connected a set of Yamaha HS8's to my Eleven Rack.

They work perfectly.....XLR from Main Out L and R on the rear, into each of the monitors.

Make sure in the 11R main settings menu, volume controls, that the Main Output is not muted.

Easy to overlook, but very easy to fix!

Hope that helps
