okay so I might be wrong, but I beleive “monitor” is used for any speaker thaf repeats the input back to the person performing. I used to work the sound board at a church, and theres little speakers by where the choir sings so they can hear themselves better.
My audio interface also has a “monitor” button next to the xlr inputs, which sends the mic input back into the outputs so I can hear myself talk
