So in terms of including the monitor in your setup it looks like from the
manual you'll have to connect your mic to the desk as usual. You'll then
need a cable back from a monitor or aux feed on the desk. Ideally this
will want to be seperate from the band mix. If you have a signal splitter
or a second output on a radio mic receiver you can send a signal directly
to the monitor (this is what I do with my setup) - this makes my monitor
entirely isolated from anything except my signal.
Physically the monitor you have can be mounted on a second mic stand fairly
easily , I'd do that and have it pointed at me and not on the floor so as
to make it as localised as possible.

Hi friends,
After years of calling at most venues without a caller's monitor, and
finding life much easier at the occasional venues that did provide a
caller's monitor, I finally sprung for my own monitor. Recalling a
recommendation some time ago either on this list or one of the others, I
bought a Roland Cube Monitor (CM-30). But having read through the manual
and looked over the unit itself, I realized I don't know what to do with it
to put it to use in this context. I consulted with the sound person for my
next upcoming gig, but that sound person (whom I do appreciate for many
reasons) has limited sound skills and also wasn't sure.
Those of you who know more than me on this subject: Is there
straightforward guidance that would help me use this unit as a caller's
monitor? Or, did I buy the wrong unit for this function despite having good
intentions?
Thanks in advance,
