After a cabling snafu at my last gig, I'm going to use all XLR cables from now on. (I've also read that XLR passes a better signal than TRS cable.) So I want to send the Master Output Left signal to my monitor and the Master Output Right signal to the PA, and I want them to be the exact same signal. It's not 100% clear in the Reference manual, can I select the routing for each of the Master Output Left and Right outputs so that they are both Master Mono?
Make Master Output mono?

I don't have an official answer but, I have tried it and it does work. I just set the Master Output to Master Mono.
I ended up using the Monitor Out for my in-ears since my personal mixer can't handle the hot signal as well. I use a TS cable and it sounds fine for me. If I ever get a better mixer I would probably use the two XLRs though.

Master left is NOT the same as Master right, need to use Master mono if you want it that way

Can you clarify what you mean to say here? When I switched the output on Master Out to Master Mono, the L and R XLR outs sound the same to me. If I switch it back to stereo there is a clear difference though.

Uh...yes. Whe are saying the same thing...

Cool man, thanks! Just making sure I'm not losing my mind. It's been known to happen.

No need to split the main outputs.
We have a dedicated monitor output for that purpose. -
I got burningyen wants to use a balanced signal?

That was my understanding as well...

I'm using a DI-Box which I put into the back of the KPA. So just a short TRS cable is needed from the monitor out to the DI-Box.
But I agree, having a balanced monitor-out would be better. Less cables and connections that could fail. Thats why I always try to keep my setup as simple as possible.
