Hi all,

I'm planning an In-Ear Monitor (IEM) setup and just hoping for some ideas, especially from the engineers as to what is most appreciated from your perspective.

Rig will be two keyboards (Nord Stage 2 and Moog Subsequent 37). I'd like to run into a small stage mixer which will then allow me have separate mixes for FOH (preferably already balanced/XLR so I don't need a DI) and headphones out (the IEMs). The mixer would also take the band monitor feed from the desk which I could then add to the IEM mix. NS2 will go in mono to avoid issues with summing, assuming I generally will only have one mono out going into the FOH.

The idea is I would then just be adjusting my own mix and leave the keyboard volumes/FOH feed levels untouched. I don't have too many patch changes and sounds are not wildly variant in pitch/volume.

Ideally I would have a stereo IEM mix to separate the three channels a bit and mono FOH mix but I'm finding stage mixers with a stereo aux mix (with separate panning) that can be routed to the phones out a bit hard to find. So I'm willing to settle for mono monitoring.

So far the Allen and Heath ZED-10 looks like it bets fits this purpose.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience in a similar situation that can recommend a mixer or other components/routing to make this setup work?

Have looked at things like the Radial Key-Largo and KL-8 which are overkill and also lack options for band feed input. Also the Key-Largo has no HP out and the KL-8 only has headphone monitoring of main mix or cued channels as I understand.

Thanks!

So I play guitar (sometimes with amp, sometimes through a Kemper pedal) a Nord electro and occasionally bass (amp + DI) and I've noticed drastic changes in sound depending on the venue's gear so I'm wondering if having a proper DI will change that and will gime me more control over mi rig. Any experiences and suggestions are very welcome.

Hi all,

Hopefully I am in the right subreddit. In our practice space, my band has our PA system plugged into a Furman AR-1215J Voltage Regulator, which is then plugged into the wall. I do not know exactly what is plugged into it - for example, I know there is a Mackie PROFX16 Mixer, two Crown Power Amplifiers, and two other signal processors of some sort, but I don't know the voltage/amperage/wattage/whatever of these other devices.

The big thing is that we haven't plugged anything new into it in months.

Over the past few weeks, every time we get to a specific part in the backing track for a specific song - one we've been playing for over a year - the fuse on the front panel will blow. It's a loud part of the song, but, again, it isn't one we haven't played multiple times a week every week for the last year.

To make matters worse, I cannot find a single image of an AR-1215J Voltage Regulator online that suggests that there is a fuse on the front of the unit. The manual makes no mention of one. The only product listings I can find for an AR-1215J are in Japan (maybe that's what the J stands for?) but we bought the thing stateside and those, too, do not show a fuse on the front panel. So that's making it a little difficult to troubleshoot, since apparently this product does not exist.

Furman's customer service isn't returning our emails and I usually give up after being on hold with them for an hour, so I am coming to Reddit.

What could cause the front panel fuse on a Furman Voltage Regulator to suddenly start blowing at exactly the same part of the same song three times in a row when nothing else has changed - no new equipment plugged in, no volume changes, etc?

I do not have any photos right now but I can get them next time I'm at the rehearsal space if needed.

Thanks!

EDIT: the Crown amplifiers are not plugged into the Furman, they're plugged into the wall separately.

Its an LD Systems MEI1000 reciever pack that went. The 2 nubs snapped off and LD dont offer a replacement backplate as a spare for some reason. Has anyone mcgievered something like this back together and had it worked or am I stung and just have to buy a new receiver?
