Good afternoon,
I would love to have yall’s opinion on this situation:
In the venue I’m working with, the isolated broadcast room that has the SQ6 that recieves all the local inputs. They do not have a mixer in the live room. They use an iPad and walk around in the live space and mix via IPAD.
If I wanted to add an SQ5 (FOH/Monitor mixer) with SLINK Card and a DX168 (for the main 16 inputs and in-ears), I’m in a slightly complicated situation.
My understanding is that I would have to have the DX168 running to the FOH/Monitor SQ5 so that the FOH engineer has
- Gain Control (not digital trim) over the majority of the inputs
- Ability to mix monitor mixes
- Ability to PAFL monitor mixes
as well, I would need to spill the local inputs from the SQ6_Broadcast_Mixer to the SQ5_FoHMonitors_Mixer and then spill the SQ5_FoHMonitors_Mixer DX168 inputs to the SQ6_Broadcast_Mixer.
Additionally, I would send a LR Mix of each mixer to the other so that the FOH mixer can hear the online through headphones and the Broadcast mixer can hear the live mixer if need be.
