Zoom B1 Four (Using Live direct into PA?)

[Davy]

I've ordered a Zoom B1 Four with the intention of using it mainly at home for practice.

I would like to try it direct into my band's PA for use with in-ears at some point. 

As it's jack output only, would I need a special jack to jack cable, i.e. stereo to mono? The mixing desk is a Soundcraft UI16 which has dual(xlr/jack) inputs on channels 1-8.

I've gigged with my Zoom MS-60B and IEM's before, I went straight into the desk with a regular mono 1/4" cable and it worked fine. The Zoom was set up with just an amp & cab model plus a compressor, no other bells or whistles. I can't see why the B1 four won't be the same. If you use some stereo effects and you want to put those through the front of house you'll need a stereo cable (or possibly 2 separate mono cables if the B1 four has dual outputs) but otherwise I don't see why it shouldn't work with just a mono cable as the MS-60B did for me.

Your set up sounds very similar to what I would use mine for.

I'll give it try with a standard 1/4" mono cable at my next gig.

Thanks.
