A traditional Monitor Mix.
You choose channels the per-
former wants to hear (usually
lots of their own instrument or
voice) and route those signals to
an
AUX bus. Then through of the
AUX OUT jacks on the mixer back,
and on to their floor wedge or
in-ears.
That's the way it's always been
done.
A better way.
But what happens if the per-
former wants more of the main
mix in their monitor mix? That
used to require tweaking every
channel's
AUX send.
Plug the musician’s phones
into AUX or AUX s ¹₄"
output.
Turn up the PHONES LEVEL
part way.
Create a mono mix for that
musician using channel aux
sends.
Inject a little bit of L/R
signal to create L/R ambi-
ance using the
INJECT L/R
controls.
INJECT L/R knobs adjust the level
at which the
MAIN L/R bus signal
is mixed into the
AUX & buses.
This is mixed both into the
AUX
& output
and into the
MUSICIAN’S
PHONES
out-
put.
Remember that AUX
3 and AUX 4 are sepa-
rate so you can create a
"stereo" mixer.
Talkback.
This knob adjusts the volume
and selects the destination of
the microphone plugged into the
TALKBACK jack on the back of the
SoundLink.
You can send Talkback to all of
your
AUXs at once (for yelling at
the band)…
or the
MAIN
L/R
for
announce-
ments to
your audience.
Pressing the L/R button sends
the
TALKBACK audio to the MAIN
OUT
output jacks. The TALKBACK
volume is not affected by the
MAIN MIX fader. When this is en-
abled, the indicator blinks.
Pressing AUX Sends the
TALK-
BACK
audio to the AUX OUT –
output jacks.
The
TALKBACK volume is not af-
fected by the
AUX MASTER knob.
When this is enabled, the indica-
tor blinks.
