The Firepod has two sets of outputs at the back, both with TRS sockets.

You can use either of these pairs to connect to your monitors.

The Firepod will accept either TRS or TS plugs.

What your monitors accept depends on what sort of monitor you have. Assuming it also has TRS sockets, you would then need two TRS to TRS cables, one to go to from the Firepod output (any one) the right monitor, and the other to go to the left.

The other output on your Firepod can be used to take, for example, a signal to a headphone amp.

not to piggyback on the OP, but what are some TRS cables? how can you tell which are which?

A TS to TS lead is a standard guitar lead. TS= Tip Sleeve

A TRS to TRS lead is a dual-core version of this. TRS = Tip Ring Sleeve. It can be used as a balanced cable, or as an unbalanced stereo cable.

Yes. sgtpepper's active monitors have TRS sockets. TRS to TRS will work fine
