STAGE MONITOR MIX FROM THE PRE-FADER SENDS
It is possible to create up to two separate stage monitor mixes by using the PRE-FADER
SENDS. Although it is possible to use the Post-Fader Sends as well, the Pre-Fader Sends are
better suited to this application since any movement of the Channel Faders will not affect the
Pre-Fader send level. See Figure 16.
1) On the Input Channels, turn SEND 1 and SEND 2 (for 2 separate mixes) or
just SEND 1 (for a single, mono mix) until the desired balance is obtained.
See Section 1, SENDS, and Section 3, HOW TO CREATE A CUE MIX
2) Use SEND MASTER 1 and 2 to increase or decrease the overall volume.
3) Usually, a 1/3 octave graphic equalizer is patched into the line to notch out
feedback frequencies. The Alesis M-EQ 230 is a perfect unit for this
application.
DEDICATED MIDI KEYBOARD MIXER
The use of the 1622 as a dedicated mixer in a MIDI keyboard setup is very similar to a sound
reinforcement application except that the MAIN OUTputs will usually be in stereo rather than
mono. See Figure 16.
