My long-time cover band is attempting to reduce stage volume. Moving to Fractal gear years ago certainly helped me in this regard, but I am still running one CLR onstage as my personal monitor so I can control my level without affecting mains or other stage monitors. I'd prefer to not lug this, but I have found that I need to have personal control (i.e. output 2) over my monitor, as stage volume seems to fluctuate over the course of a night due to a variety of reasons.
We have moved to IEMs and this appears to be working well for most. Based on my experiences so far I am not getting the perfect mix and do still need the ability to bring myself up and down as needed. Ideally, of course, this should not be an issue but it is what it is, and I am still looking for a way I can have control over my level in my ears. I know there are solutions to this where everyone has some type of personal mixing device, but that is not going to happen at this time.
SO - now to my question...we run mono, my IEM transmitter has two inputs and can be run stereo/mono. If I took the usual feed from the board in one input, and THEN another from Output 2 of my FM9, wouldn't I then have the ability to increase/decrease my level in my ears if needed? Is the output of the FM9 appropriate for direct into an IEM transmitter? This certainly doesn't seem like the way one should use IEMs, but I am trying to find a reason why it wouldn't work.
Wisdom from the group would be very much appreciated.
