Add Aux in to Direct output

Il_Falco · February 26, 2017 at 10:42 AM

Ok, here is the situation.

A: I play in a band with IEM-solution on stage. I send my signal to the rack, band signal goes to my wireless iem. this gives me live no option for a change in the mix

B: On the other hand i also play alot along with music from my mp3 player. I use the alternative input and return input to input the mp3 player.

In Theory, i could keep the same setup without changing much buttons. i could use the main outs to pa (i need the xlr's) and monitor out-direct out to my in ear. Band-mix comes in with the alternative input and return input.

Problem with this is that i can't mix the Aux-in stereo to my iem mix.

This is easily solved by mixing aux in>direct out in the kemper. (And there happens to be a knob left )

What do you say?

I would like this too!

Why don't you feed your IEM from the stereo Headphone Output at home, which has its dedicated Aux In control?

That would be perfect, but putting a mixer aux in the balanced xlr return input gives me the band in just one channel.
It's ok with mp3 players and a Y cable, but for live situations could be good to hear the single xlr on both ears.

So, your band's monitor mix from the mixing desk is just mono?

If it's stereo you can use Return and Alternative In, both are balanced by the way. These are the specs:

Alternative Input: ¼-inch TRS balanced with Ground Lift, dynamicrange =105dB, impedance 825 kohms
Return Input: XLR balanced, ¼-inch TRS balanced with GroundLift, dynamic range =105dB, impedance 825 kohms

And if the mix is just mono, you could use an y-adapter.

By the way many IEM wireless systems and amplifiers have a switch for stereo/mixed. Why can't you mix your mono signal on that end?

I'll try with a separate iem amp, thanks

If your need is not that urgent, don't acquire a body pack now, but wait for the next software revision. Possible, that we add a "Mix" option to the Aux In.
