benweblight Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Are you talking about two powered monitors or one powered with a passive monitor linked to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 You need to provide a lot more information about your system before we can help you. We don't know anything about your system, aside from the console and that you have 4 monitors. Tell us everything you can. And read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 take one of your spare unused aux outputs, add and amp and speaker, or a powered speaker - simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mervaka Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 are you using auxes 5/6 for anything? you can swap those to pre fade if not, and that gives you 6 monitor mixes to play with <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Beech Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 are you using auxes 5/6 for anything? you can swap those to pre fade if not, and that gives you 6 monitor mixes to play with <_< But IIRC, they are selectable as a pair. By default aux 3 and 4 are on the switch, this can be altered internally to 5 and 6 or 1 and 2. SO, if you want to run 5 monitors and the internal fx. One would have to suffer. I'm not so sure what the op is trying to acheive. It's been left quite open and there are a few ways of reading it. So until we know more it's not easy to say but I read it the same way Paul did, and if this is the case he's correct. There are other options to gain "aux outs" on desks but whether these are pre or post fade depend entirely on the desk and its switching facilities (both extenral switches and internal jumpers). For example, a small rack mixer from direct outs can send <**> channels to another mix. where ** determines the number of channels on the rack mixer, usually 8. Whether it is pre or post fade depends entirely on whether the direct out is pre or post fade. This signal can be split a useable number of times to create extras.

Kevin Ross Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Another option would be to use a hot spot personal monitor like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...8176667ffc8ab32 They could then have as much of their source in this case piano as they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
