Been using IEM's at church w/ Aviom's for some time.
Tried to go there with the band, but.. well.. it's a challenge unless all buy into it.
I have a Presonus mixer running two DB25 cables into ch1-8 and 9-16 (respectively) on a Behringer P-16I.
From there CAT5 - direct to the first P-16M station, then daisy-chained to other P-16M's.
I get 16-channels, full stereo pan mix control, EQ, on each channel with master limiter and volume on each unit.
FULL 16-CH mix for each.
From there I go stereo to my wireless unit.
Simple to setup. Efficient. When not mixing from the stage, I have 250ft CAT5 on a roller to go from FOH to stage.
I need to upgrade my IEM's (planning on going with 1964-V3 IEM's) but I'm between gigs right now and no spare change!
Total cost for the monitoring gear was about $600 (last yr) for me, and $299 (plus cat5) for each user. Then + ears. Drummers can use the earphone jack on back and be wired.. as I guess can anyone. Keeps stage noise down and folks tend to play much quieter.
GOOD FOR THE EARS too!!
