Exactly! I figure since as a keyboardist and I won't be moving around much I really don't see the need to establish a wireless link. I imagine I'll mostly be concerned in my playing area and I don't see the need to walk around a venue as I'll have the FOH engineer to take care of sound.

I figured the proximity part could be a problem so to prevent that from happening I thought I will get a digital mixer instead. So proximity shouldn't be much of an issue with a digital mixer as long as I can establish a wireless link to it.

You may get your monitor signal at the end of the chain directly from FoH or use a DI box directly after your instrument to draw your signal into a simple mixer.
If you are the only one to use IEM, you'll probably not be able to use a digital monitor mixer like a Presonus EarMix 16M, Behringer Powerplay P16-M Personal Mixer or Midas DP48 which get digitally provided with 16 to 48 signals for a fully independent IEM mix -- depends on a digital main mixer with a matching system.
Thanks for the tips. For the last part mean do you mean to say there shouldn't be a need for, or literally I cannot use a digital monitor mixer?.. Do you mean to say with those digital monitor mixers it requires other members to use IEM as well??
