What is a monitor on a stage?

A stage monitor system is a set of performer-facing loudspeakers called monitor speakers, stage monitors, floor monitors, wedges, or foldbacks on stage during live music performances in which a sound reinforcement system is used to amplify a performance for the audience.

What is the difference between stage monitors and speakers?

Monitor speakers are speakers that play the plain sound without distortion through the frequency range. They are designed to allow you to hear exactly the electronic sound. "Monitor" is a specialist type of loudspeaker. Most loudspeakers do not provide such a uniform frequency response.

Can I use PA speakers as stage monitors?

Your PA speakers are aimed at your audience, so they will not serve double duty as monitors. If you plan to play venues where you provide your own PA gear, stage monitoring will be an essential part of your setup.

Can I use powered speakers as monitors?

In short, no. PA speakers cannot be used as studio monitors. It's not possible to get a great sounding mix using PA speakers as you would using studio monitors. That's because PA speakers don't have a flat frequency response that is required for a good mix.
