Hi,
This is something I thought of over since I first worked with the iLive.
The mixes are a bit low in output.
When you do monitors, your aux buses are almost clipping at times.
Same this doing IEM’s, especially on drums.
And I have noticed it on some FOH shows too,
when your master is more or less constant on yellow.
It’s most often no problem of telling the system person to bump you up couple of db’s.
But now some of my rental clients are asking for a way of boosting the signal
out from the desk to the amps or IEM’s. So they can be more in control of their setup.
And not have to ask the house guys for that extra db lift.
Is there a sensitivity switch in the box for the outputs, or can it be done software-wise
Looking at throwing in a couple of ATI 8MX2, XTA DS800 or Symetrix Solus in the monitor and FOH racks.
But it would be great to be able to fix this in the mixer.
And by that, I am not meaning by raising comp gain or anything like that.
That would just make people go, “iLive?!, Yeah, but their output signal is a bit weak, aren’t they?”.
Love the way the faders work in monitor applications.
When I person ask for a little bit more of something in their mix, you just raise the fader one bar and its perfect. VERY precise action. Love that.
So I would not like that preciseness to suffer from a level increasement of outputs sensitivity.
Any ideas around this ?
