Using a fairly typical layout of a console with four Aux Sends, here is 

what you could do to send audio to the input module to create a monitor 

mix. Again, remember that you can use any of the different types of audio 

signals available on your particular audio mixer to create a monitor mix 

(direct outputs, bus outputs, etc.).

The example will use a band with a rhythm section (keyboards, bass, 

drums, and guitar) and a lead singer. Assume that all of the instrumentalists 

sing background vocals. The example assumes that you do not want to use 

any other type of output from the mixer. With four Aux Sends available 

on the mixing board, four independent sub-mixes can be sent to the input 

module and then on to the Personal Mixer units.

The first task is to separate the instrumental and vocal parts into four 

sub-mixes. Imagine that we want a separate controllable level for the lead 

singer, background singers, drums, and the rest of the instruments. So, Aux 

Send 1 is assigned to Lead Vocals, Aux Send 2 is assigned to Background 

Vocals, Aux Send 3 is assigned to the drums, Aux Send 4 is assigned to 

the instruments. All that’s left to do is connect four cables from the mixing 

board’s Aux Sends to the input module.

Turning up the Aux Send 1 level on the mixing console sends the lead vocal 

to the input module. Since there is only one singer, there’s no sub-mixing or 

balance setting required. 

The four musicians who sing background vocals will need to be blended 

at the main mixer. This will be done by sending audio from each of their 

microphones into Aux Send 2. By changing the aux send level, you control 

the blend of the four singers, without affecting the mix created by the faders 

on the main mixer.

The same concept used to create a mix of all the background singer’s 

microphones is used for the drum kit and the instruments. The drums are 

sent to Aux Send 3, while the instruments are sent to Aux Send 4. At each 

musician’s Personal Mixer, a custom mix can now be created. The singer 

can have more instruments, the drummer can have less background vocals 

and no drums in the mix, the instrumentalists can have their own back-

ground vocal level, etc.

In the studio, the flexibility of the Personal Monitor Mixing System will 

give performers more control of their headphone cue mix. At the same time 

it allows the engineer to spend less time fussing with the cue mix and more 

time making the tracks sound great.

Making a cue mix from a recording console is essentially the same as 

when using a live mixing board.  If your board has direct outputs or unused
