this video is probably the most understandable I have ever heard. I NOW understand monitor / Auxes. It's easy ilke a matrix. The different performers is horizontal across the channels and each channel is vertical! A cinch! Thank you so very much!!

James Noll Exactly right! In fact there are mixers which actually have a section that is called a Matrix and is used to mix groups of channels in just the same way. Glad the video was helpful!

Love the way how you explain the difference between each section of the console and what they're used for. It's makes a huge difference in setting up musicians monitors and monitors for the sound man. Educational and easy to learn. Thank You Very Much!

I've A Question... Does The Same Apply To Smaller Mixer Boards?
@GLBProductions
@GLBProductions 8 жыл бұрын
Yes, the only difference being that on smaller board you have to be more selective about what you send to the monitors - with fewer mixes there is a high chance that several people are sharing the same mix so there's less room for customisation.

- You're welcome, glad it was helpful. Yes, you need at least one amplifier channel per aux output. Most amplifiers have more than one channel so it's best to think in terms of amplifier channels. Also, depending on the number of monitor speakers you have, you may need more than one amplifier channel. For example, if aux 1 is being sent to four monitor speakers, you may need two amplifier channels just for that aux.

- Ok this is a really good question! Under ideal circumstances, pre-recorded content should be sent to the monitors via a post-fade aux send, so that when you pull the channel fader down the monitors fade out as well. Some mixers allows you to change the setting of the aux bus on the individual channels, which is ideal. If this is not available, I will use two hands to do the fade - one pulls down the fader and another one turns down the aux send knob.

Even though this video is based on analog board controls, the concept of utilizing floor monitors is the same, even in a digital world. I just ordered the Allen & Heath QU-16 digital mixer for my band and I look forward to applying the principles learned in your video(s) to the band mix. We were great before - now we're moving into AWESOME - thanks to you!

Yes, the principles are the same - the only difference is that you use the faders to route the signals to the monitors rather than a dedicated knob on each channel. All the best with your music!

- Yes, I'm pretty sure you are exactly right on that. However it does mean that if your monitors start to feed back you cannot use the channel EQ to correct it, so you will need some other form of EQ for your monitors, eg a graphic EQ on each monitor send, before the power amplifier.

Bruno your videos are fantastic my friend. I'm in the process of learning a sound board and helping my sons band. These tutorials you have are explained extremely well and easy to comprehend. Their board is an analog board but much smaller. It only has the 1 auxiliary send so the monitors are daisy chained and when I dial in one persons monitor level it effects each monitor the same. I couldn't figure out how to separate them out but now understand why. Thank you for your time and teachings. Take care and God Bless.

more than enough to support the vocals. 5. Keep the pan controls on your laptop channels in the centre - this will send the music to both the tops and the subs. 6. Patch your graphic EQ into the send to the tops, and cut all the frequencies below 80Hz. If this make the voices sound too thin, try cutting less, or bringing back some of the lower frequencies. You may also need to cut around 250-400Hz depending on the room.

Here's what I recommend: 1. Make sure that the 'low cut' filter below the gain knob is switched in on every mic channel. 2. Run your laptop signal mono, ie use 2 channels on the mixer instead of one stereo channel. This will ensure that your music is reproduced correctly. 3. As you are doing currently, use the left main output to feed your 2 x 15s and the right main output to feed the subs. 4. Pan the mic channels HARD LEFT - this will remove their signal from the subs - the 2x15 mains are

- Yes you are correct - you connect the aux output of the mixer to the input of your power amplifier, sometimes with a graphic equaliser in between. If you are using powered monitor speakers you connect to the input of the powered speaker. Will add your request to the list, thanks for the feedback :)

- That would be the ideal situation :) Unfortunately on the smaller mixers without a matrix you are often stuck with one of the other - a notable exception would be the Allen and Heath Mix Wizard boards, on which the aux sends on the *individual* channels are switchable pre or post fader. It's a lot of switches, but gives wonderful flexibility.

You're welcome. If your mixer has them you can also use the channel direct outputs to feed your recorder.

On my little mixer in the studio I use the alt 3-4 - but the smaller one I use downstairs (ZMX122FX) doesn't have this option - only tape or aux and the tape sends master mix, so your aux system works a treat - the iPad input is connected to the aux on the mixer.

- Wow what a great old vintage board! Any idea when it was made? So wonderful that these units are still making music! I took a look at the online spec sheet, and apparently the 'mon' connector is pre-fader, pre-EQ. Aux 1 is post-EQ, pre-fader, and aux 2 is pot-EQ, post-fader. So you could use either 'mon' or aux 1 as a monitor send - if you use 'mon' bear in mind that any EQ changes you make on the mixer will not affect the sound in the monitors. You've got a real gem there, look after it!

- Ah I see. On the Mackie 1604 aux sends 3&4 are fixed post fader, so in order to get signal from the aux outputs the channel fader needs to be up and the channel must not be muted. It is also possible that the '5/6 shift' button has been pressed accidentally on the channel, which routes the signal to the aux 5 and 6 outputs instead of the 3 and 4 outputs.

No, you cannot use an adaptor to combine signals, only to split them! The simplest solution is to use only one of the control room outputs, either left or right. If you need to hear a stereo signal then you will need to use two monitor wedges, or a monitor which can accept a stereo signal and then convert it to mono. Which make and model of monitor are you using?

- Yes it sounds like they are definitely reversed - I suggest that you check the wiring from the mixer to the amps, and then from the monitor amp to the monitors themselves to see which amp channel is powering which speaker. Many church setups have very confused wiring which need to be sorted out before the system can be used effectively.

- Hi John, nice to hear from you again. To begin with I would suggest trying to run your monitors with no EQ - it's not ideal but it certainly can be done and is often perfectly adequate for lower-volume situations. Do you already have an outboard EQ that you are planning to integrate into your system?
