Engineer’s Wedge / IEM monitoring
The iLive is capable of being configured for dedicated monitor mixing. It can provide an engineer's dual
Wedge/IEM facility for monitor mixing with combinations of stage wedge speakers and in-ear monitors.
This lets you assign mono or stereo Wedge and/or IEM masters strips on the Surface. Mixes sent to the
stage wedges can be monitored in just the engineer's Wedge output, and mixes sent to the in-ear
systems can be checked using just the IEM output. Both these outputs use the same stereo PAFL mix,
but their mutes can be assigned to ensure the signal appears only at the wanted output. This provides the
equivalent of a top end monitor console dual listen function.
Assign Wedge and IEM master strips
Use the
SURFACE / Strip Setup
screen to assign one fader strip as
a mono or stereo Wedge master, and another as a mono or
stereo IEM master.
If you want full processing including GEQ and dynamics on
the engineer's outputs then make sure this is configured in
the
MIXRACK / Mix Config screen
. This will use up some of
the 32 DSP mix channels. Only configure this processing if
your application really needs it.
Patch the masters to sockets
use the
OUTPUTS
screen to patch the Wedge and IEM outputs to sockets on
either the MixRack or Surface. Plug these into your
monitoring system.
Assign mixes to the dual monitors
Select the
MIX
key on the Wedge master strip. Hold down the ASSIGN
key and press the Aux master
MIX
keys to assign the wedge
mixes. Do the same to assign the Auxes used for IEM mixes
to the IEM master strip. Make sure you turn off the
Wedge/IEM strip
MIX
keys when you have finished assigning
the mixes.
The dual monitor system uses just the one stereo PAFL bus.
It works by muting the monitor output not required.
Pressing PAFL on a mix master assigned to the
Wedge
monitor will automatically
MUTE
the IEM monitor output.
Pressing PAFL on a mix master assigned to the
IEM
monitor
will automatically
MUTE
the Wedge monitor output.
Pressing PAFL on any input or mix master not assigned to
either the Wedge or IEM master will result in the signal not
affecting the mute status of the outputs. It is usual to leave
the input channels unassigned.
Note:
You can unmute the Wedge or IEM master at any
time to listen to any PAFL signal in any output
.
