RnRDave Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Hi all, I'm trying to work out how to set up a talk back mic for our drummer to use at live gigs before we start rehearsing. We all plan on using IEMs. Want it so the sound doesn't go out to audience How do I set the mixer so that the mic will only be audible through the aux sends? Thanks.

Jakester Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Literally just connect a mic as normal, then have the level to FOH down, and the levels to the relevant aux sends up. That's it, unless your mixer is either very basic or very complicated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
