Hi,
I am starting to use in-ears for live monitoring. I am using NS2 outputs 1 and 2 to send to FOH in stereo. Since many times the mix sent for stage monitoring is in mono and I hate NS2 piano in mono, I am using a small mixer to control the mix between the feed that sends FOH (without my keyboard sound) and my keyboard sound. I send the latter to my small personal mixer using the headphone output (using a stereo to 2 mono cable).
My question is: I am connecting the stereo cable of the headphone output to the personal mixer in a stereo channel without Gain control, in Line 3/4 of the below, since I am using Line 1 and 2 for receiving sound from FOH. It sounds OK. I was wondering whether I would benefit from having 4 channels with gain control, so that I could connect the headphone output to my mixer using channels with Gain. I have been testing how the sound changes between Lines 1 and 2 (panning them left-right) and 3/4, and I perceive a very slight difference. Hence, I was wondering whether there is any advantage in monitoring the headphone output through them?
Thanks,
Xavier

Re: Headphone output for live monitoring
Hello,
I think that using mic inputs instead of line inputs would be better especially if you mixeur have good preamp on mic inputs.
I could read that some users of in-ears monitors used a microphone to hear sound and ambiance from the stage (in this case plugged into a mic input). Have you already tried this?

Re: Headphone output for live monitoring
The advantage using channels with gain is less noise floor, and a strong signal.
