Rich-
What is the model of the Allen Heath Mixwizard? We've been kicking around the idea of doing inears for a while-
What does the total cost run for doing that for a 6 piece band?
Thanks,
Bill

One way to limited exposure to excess dB is to use inear monitors . I am

fortunate enough to be in a rock band with 5 others who agreed to try it,

and we love it now. Guitar players use processors to get their sounds, and

the drummer uses electronic drums, fed to a 16-in, 6 stereo pair-out Allen

Heath MixWizard. No stage monitors, no back line, no feedback, complete

control of your own mix. I was amazed at how fast we (especially the guitar

players) adapted.

It has been a problem playing with other traditional format bands since

then. One solution I have found is to bring along a small mixer, mikes to

put near each back line amp (or direct feed if you can get it), and an

attenuator to get a monitor and/or front of house feed, and have my own

controlled mix again. I bring a set of headset-type shooting ear protectors

for the times when the backline overwhelms the earbuds with noise. Not

ideal, but i decided a while back not to tolerate ringing ears after the gig

anymore.
