    Just look at the frequency range of the transmitter, on the sticker on the bottom / rear. It will tell you the frequencies and maybe the band that the transmitter is capable of producing. For instance: "G20 488-512 MHZ". So then you'll look for a receiver with the same exact frequency specs.

    If you want 8 individual mixes, you'll need a console with at least 8 auxes. Or else, you will have to share mixes between the 8 wireless systems, ie. 4 units on Aux 1, 4 on Aux 2.

    craig davson If you have no extra Aux sends available, you can still connect the IEM system. However, you will not have a dedicated monitor mix. You would connect the IEM from any other buss that is available. For instance, you can come out of the stereo buss, a "record out", or matrix output. You can even take your signal from the "pass thru" on the rear of a powered main speaker, or monitor speaker, of from the "pass through" on the back of your main PA amplifier. Otherwise, you can come out of the Direct Out for whatever channels you'd like in your ears, and connect them to a second small mixer, or if there is only one or two channels, you can take the "Direct out" from the main mixer, and connect them to the inputs of the IEM and use its own mixing capabilities to adjust the level.

    Im still a bit confused on how would I connect my IEM's (Shure PSM 300). I'm running Ableton through a mac. I have a 1/8" to two 1/4" stereo splitter cable coming out of the mac *Please correct me if I'm wrong* If I connect my 1/4" cables to my soundboard mixer, would I then just simply connect my IEM's to my soundboard mixer to hear the click and loop? We want to hear click and loop in the IEMs while still only sending loop to FOH.

    We just switched it up. Now we have the Apogee Duet (Firewire) audio interface. We have the Duet connected to my mac. I have click and cues coming out from the left output of the Duet and FOH loop coming out the right output of the Duet. We have a TRS 1/4" male to male balanced cable connected directly to our IEM transmitter from the left output of the Duet (click/cues) and we have a balanced TRS 1/4" male to xlr male cable connected directly to our soundboard from the right output of the Duet (FOH loop). Then we have a TRS 1/4" balanced cable male to male coming out of the AUX Send 1 from our mixer that connects to our IEM transmitter, so we can hear loop, mics, guitars (everything that's connected to our mixer)

    You certainly can. You can use in-ear monitors just like headphones, out of the headphone jack. Or, you can use an output on any interface to act like an aux send, and feed your ears a special mix out of that output.

    Hi there. What cable did you use to go from the ipod to the mixer? I noticed it is split, why is that? Also you are using a trs to alr cable to the transmitter, would a trs to trs do the same thing? or is the xlr changing it to mono?

  • @therockstudio

    Hi, thanks for watching! The iPod is connected with a stereo cable - 3.5mm (or 1/8" headphone connector) to left & right TS (1/4") plugs. The transmitter is connected with a TRS to male XLR. TRS isn't a stereo connector (such as the headphone connector), it is a balanced connector (the same as an XLR). So if your transmitter has a TRS input, you can use just a TRS-TRS cable. I just happened to have a TRS-XLR male cable handy when I made this video. Feeding one aux into the transmitter will only be mono, no matter which cable you use. If you want stereo, you have to use two aux sends and two cables.

    @@rorybackshell9580 in the preamp of the console there is a differential amplifier, which you can read about more, but I'll give you a quick explanation: the T & R (tip and ring, or L and R of an XLR connector) are the signal, but 180° out of polarity. The differential amp will join them back in to polarity, and discard any difference between the two, thus cancelling any noise the cable may have picked up along the way. So if you feed your left and right iPod into a TRS cable and then into one channel of your mixer, the differential amp within the preamp may remove some of the music information. So it's best to split the left and right out of your iPod into two channels, because remember TRS 1/4" connectors are not stereo, they are balanced (meaning one positive signal, one inverted signal, one shield). You can find 3.5mm to mono TS or XLR, but they usually have some resistors and capacitors in them to sum the left and right to mono and block phantom power (which is likely to damage your headphone output). Check out sescom cables www.sescom.com/products/view/category/categoryslug/smartphone Or my typical cable, the hosa CMP-159 There cable in the video I made myself.

    About how many of them would I need for a small band then?

  • @therockstudio

    @therockstudio

    7 жыл бұрын

    Nahum Piña that depends on two things: First, how many aux (mix) outputs does your console have? Most small-format (up to 16 channels) have four auxes that are appropriate for monitor mixes. That means you will be able to send four separate mixes to the band. So you could have four complete systems. Second, how big is your band? How many people in the band need their own mix, and how many can share a mix? If there are four people in the band, but only the singer needs a different mix then the rest of the band (the rest of the band is happy sharing one mix), you only need two transmitters and four bodypack receivers. I hope this helps.

    hi! I am assuming you plug your keyboards into your own mixer at the gig? You would then give the sound person a feed from your mixer, and also hand him/her the transmitter for your wireless ears. The sound guy/girl will hook your transmitter up to a spare aux send on his/her console, and send you whatever you need in your ears, including your keyboards. You would only be responsible for balancing the levels of your keys in relation to one-another, usually during sound check. That way any of your keyboards will be the same volume going to the PA console as well as your ears. Thanks for watching.

    Sorry for the delay, yes. I'd have some cables handy. Depending on your transmitter, of course. In this video I use a TRS to XLR Male cable, which works if the sound person's console has TRS Aux outputs, and your transmitter has XLR inputs. If your transmitter has TRS inputs only, then have a 6 or 8 foot TRS cable. Remember, you can extend a TRS to XLR cable with a standard XLR cable, but it is way more difficult to extend a TRS cable. I'd have a 6' XLR cable on hand as well, just in case the console has only XLR outputs, or you're coming out of a return on a snake, etc. Be sure to LABEL your cables and hardware (including power supplies) well, or you will lose them quickly.

    Let's say there are four people needing four separate mixes. For this you'd need four wireless monitor systems (transmitters, receivers, & in-ear monitor earbuds), and a mixer with at least four aux sends (called monitor mixes, or just simply mixes). Each wireless transmitter gets connected to it's own aux send. Then you can create a different mix for each of the four people by using the aux knobs.
