Question about how to use a mixer in a live setting

liammclaren · 28th January 2009

Ok I have a very specific yet probably very simple question about how to use a mixer, specifically a Behringer Eurodesk, live. One of my inputs will be a click track that needs to be only audible to one of the performers. There will be one stage monitor and one in ear monitor, and I need to hear the click only on the in ear monitor. So how do I "route" the click input so that it only goes to the single in ear monitor?

Aux sends

As 1979 said, dedicate one of your auxes to the click track and send it to the amps driving the in-ear and stage monitors.

You'll need to use one channel on the board to input the click track, but you route it nowhere except to that one aux you've set aside for it.

...and preferably use a pre-fade send (with a limiter inserted across it if possible)

Put the inear monitor input on, say, aux 1 output and the other monitor amp input on aux 2 output.
Plug the click generator into a spare channel. Only turn up the aux 1 send on that channel .
If the inear wearer wants other stuff besides the click in their mix also, then turn up the aux one sends on the channels they want too.
Make the monitor mix on aux 2 just like you normally would.
