Plug either a powered monitor or amp and then speaker into one of the aux sends. Now adjust the monitor mix using the appropriate aux send pot on each of the channel strips you want to send to the monitor. Think of the aux send pots as faders for the monitor mix the same as the main fader for the ain mix.
Without more information of your speakers and amps we can't really help you. The Mackie board puts out line-level signals and that should drive any connected amp or powered speaker to the full capability. Make sure you are using BALANCED interconnect lines either XLR or TRS cables. Use of TS unbalanced cables costs you 6 DB and also noise pickup. Make sure ALL your gear, amps, speakers etc are powered from a SINGLE receptacle or power conditioning module. Normally you will use the AUX outputs of the mixer by way of TRS cables or balanced lines in a snake to power amplifiers onstage which then connect to the stage monitors. If you have powered monitors the returns of the aux to the stage go to the powered monitors. A heavy duty extension cord brings power back from thee stage power to the mixer.
Should be an Aux 1 or 2 output jack on the right side of the mixer. You can come out of the 1 or 2 OUTPUT jack to the input on your processor, and then from the output of the processor to Effects return or to a channel input. By going to a channel input you can then blend the processor's signal with a slider into the sound system with the other channels, while adding tone if needed. By going back into the Effects return, you just blend it overall by adjusting the Effects return knob. To feed the channels through the processor, turn the AUX 1 or 2 knob up on each individual channel you want to go through the processor. Make sure the AUX 1 (or 2 if you are using that) MASTER knob is turned up on the right side of the console, otherwise nothing will go to the processor. You should see the processors' input light showing signal, if not check your connections. Good luck
Buy a powered stage monitor and gonnect to the MON jack. You will select the channels to go to the monitor with the AUX knobs and the overall level with the MON slider.
Use BALANCED lines to the powered monitor... This is a TRS plug at the mixer end for sure...
REMEMBER to power ALL interconnected equipment from the same receptaacle or source, even if it means running an extension from where your speakers are plugged in to the mixer !!! The ground bounce between power receptacles within a building can destroy your equipment's sensitive input circuits.
Decide if you want to use the AUX's or the SUB's for your monitors. (usually use the AUX).
Connect TRS cables from the appropriate AUX sends to thee amplifiers you use for your monitors or your powered monitors whichever you have.
Adjust the level using the AUX level controls for each channel to set your minitor mix.
Normally use the PreFader AUX's so monitor levels are set independent of the slide fader positions.
Here is a big hint for you: Search YouTube.com for "Soundboard" or "Soundboard setup". There are good videos there that might be different than your particular board, but there is enough commonality that you will soon be an expert!
There is a volume control where you select the source of the control room signals. There is NOT a slider type fader. The same pot that controls the phones varies the control room speakers.
You could also use one of the AUX to drive your control room speakers, however they are usually used to drive the stage monitors.
