I have one of those cables that i occasionally run in to a P2. You could also use the headphone out with just a standard stereo jack cable. -
How would you adjust the volume from the other side of the stage or away from the mixer?

This guy demonstrates the pitch shift. The sound seems to change a bit but I’m sure you could use EQ to help with that. At about 8mins 10.

I have, or worked with others that have tried. It's never been ideal.

And this is why i said ‘most desks’ in my first post about this. Ive had maybe 20+ desks over time and not one would allow headphones to be plugged in to a send jack and get a decent level.

I got one for Christmas, but not really got a use for it. I brought the new Valeton GP-50 just before Christmas and also have a GP-5. It seems quite similar to the Valeton stuff. I like the form factor, although not keen on the on/off system. -
Yeah, things have got better, but these days some are more inclined to throw the cable over and expect our drummer to do it. He likes doing all that stuff and it takes the pressure of me.

When we first got our XR18 there was a band member that couldn't figure out why he couldn't plug his mic in to it. The cable was already in the XR18 but the mic end wasnt right. Yeah, he had first plugged the mic cable in to one of the Aux sends, and it took him a couple of mins to figure this out. Get this, he even moved the cable to the next Aux send to try 🤣. This is one good reason why ive put labels on everything.

To be clear, when ive used the term IEM above, im talking about the earpiece's only, not a system that would amplify the signal. Genuinely cant see how a line level signal can power the earpiece's or headphones, but if people say they can i cant argue with that.

I have no idea about your mixer, but when i googled it i got this. You should not plug headphones directly into the aux outs of an Allen & Heath CQ18T mixer. The aux outputs are line-level, balanced mono TRS jacks, designed to send signals to other audio gear (like an in-ear monitor transmitter or a dedicated headphone amplifier). They do not provide sufficient power or the correct impedance for headphones, and doing so can result in low volume, poor sound quality, and potentially damage the output stage of the mixer or your headphones This just explains what i was trying to say. If you have found otherwise then fair enough.
-
No, i mean when they then decide to start plugging things in and tune up etc, you know, an hour after arriving and having a chat etc, or walk off to go to the toilet.
-
Im in the same boat. Because i have the ‘master’ iPad sitting on my keyboard i get asked to do all the IEM tweaks etc, even though they have all downloaded Mixing staton etc. Its a pain as i will have my IEM’s in so cant really judge (or hear) what others want. I do get it though, its easier for mew as i have an always on connected device, but it still hasnt sunk in that they really need to be doing this at soundchecks first.

I was talking about the headphone outs, not channels or inputs. Headphone outputs have amps built in to them, otherwise you won’t hear much. Normal Aux sends and just passive outputs that you can’t expect to plug headphones in to and hear anything. In fact i didnt say preamp, i said amp. My reply was to the comment about using a zoom LT 12 (IIR you had one?). That has 6 headphone outs so there is no need for any extra amps if you don’t want to use them, so you can plug headphones or IEM’s directly in to it. Hopefully that clears things up
-
Those are headphone outs, so will already have an amp built in to them. Most mixers dont have those and just use standard passive outs. I sometimes do the same with the headphone out on my XR18, straight in to my IEMS using a long stereo TSR extension cable.
