Title: Implementing a Monitor Mixer
Post by: Josh Hatton on January 25, 2010, 03:41:37 AM

Hi all,
How would I incorporate a monitor mixer in my current rig?
I currently run everything at FOH and would love to have a monitor mixer at stage for bigger shows. Please advise to what is needed and what needs to be done.

Many Thanks!
Josh

Just add mic splitters and mixer. Some repatching and you're done.

The easiest way would be to use a MixWiz Monitor or a GL2800M (both Allen & Heath) as your monitor console, as these have a mic splitter built in.  Mic lines go to the monitor console, console split outs go to the main stage box.

(The Lounge would have been a better place for this question.)

What are you currently running sound for?  How many channels?  How many mixes?  I don't think the question is detailed enough for a detailed response.  Sure a mix wizard is great but, if you have that many channels, I would not recommend bringing a monitor world into the mix.  It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish.  When I run a gig with monitor world, I use a splitter snake.
