Yep, I am lucky as my board has 6 monitor sends plus an a/b out, but you could also use a splitter on the mains and or the mic itself, or a direct out, or a direct box, etc, if you didnt have enough monitor sends because you have control of the volume as well as the mix between the 2 channels right on your hip. I did forget to mention that it also comes with adapters to convert the xlr inputs to 1/4" which comes in handy as you can use any spare channel in the snake no matter what it is, or the 1/4 out of a direct box, Also I only use 1 ear bud as well which allows me to blend what im hearing from the stage as well as the unit and also allows me to hear my band mates if and when they may want talk to me without the crowd hearing them, like if they want to change the order of the set list do to crowd response of the current song were playing, etc. It also has some internal features, 2 different eq settings, limiter, input attenuation, and the mix knob can be set as either a fader for left and right in stereo mode , or the mix between the 2 channels in mono mode, plus its is powered by a 9v battery or phantom power if available. Btw I clip the unit on my left side so I can still play high hats and snare with my right hand if I happen to need to make an adjustment to the volume or the mix mid song. Its a great unit for the price and I paid almost twice that 10 years ago and If something were to happen to it I would certainly buy another without hesitation. Funny thing is other than a couple sm57's I use for miking guitar amps its the only piece of Shure equipment I own as I am usually an Audio-Technica guy...lol... Hope this helps...
