Since I exclusively use mixpad for our setup and am therefore mobile, is there a way of routing the PAFL outputs to a device/dongle with which I could cue/listen via wireless earpods (such as the Apple Airpods)? Makes sense?
No that is not possible as on the iPad there is only audio control but no actual audio. So if you want to listen wireless you have to use (wireless) IEMs.
Hi Lozion,
As JeroenAudio says, the remote apps are control only. The latency and potential issues with sending audio wirelessly means that a dedicated IEM system is required.
Thanks,
Keith.
AES DAC to bluetooth?
I understand 200ms latency is normal for Bluetooth though some devices claim about 50ms. Still too slow for live monitoring, though I guess it may be useful for checking that something is working during setup.
use a budget IEM system instead, that works pretty well
sound quality highly depends on the IEM system
Yeah, we have a spare IEM kit I could use… I just thought a pair of Airpods would be less bulky, lighter. Etc. Also, would help isolate my tired ears who mix 5 nights a week.
I use molded earplugs with 12db reduction for that duty but it would be cool to check in on the mix once in a while via airpods. Btw, are the newer airpods pro a good thing to use in a live situation with the “transparency mode” and “active noise cancellation” features? Anyone know? Txs.
