Creating a Mix
Now that you have connected your mic and monitor mix to the S monitor’s inputs, you can
begin to create your mix. The best way to do this is to adjust one channel at a time.
Slowly raise the level control for the MIC input until you have reached the desired level.
Now, repeat the same for STEREO input. You may want to go back and slightly raise or
lower an individual channel until you have set the balance between all the connected
inputs. Then, you have your perfect mix!

Typical Set-up
The diagram below shows a typical set-up for a small band using three S monitor
mixer/headphone amplifiers for a sophisticated personal headphone monitoring system.
The vocalist’s microphone is connected to the MIC input and then passed through to the
main mixer using the MIC THRU output. A stereo monitor feed is sent from the main mixer
and connected to the S monitor’s STEREO input. Using the S monitor’s STEREO THRU
output the monitor send can be passed from one S monitor to the next.
