Stage Monitor Mix - Alesis Studio 32 Reference Manual

Channels, and the combined signal will appear at the L/R MASTER FADER
along with the other Channels directly assigned to L/R.
To control a stereo submix of all the vocal mics from the Group 1 and 2 faders:
If you are doing a stereo mix, you may use two groups for a submix. Follow the
instructions above; but pan the microphones anywhere from left to right during step
4. Make sure Group Faders 1 and 2 are both set to the same level to keep the proper
stereo balance.

Stage Monitor Mix

In stage/PA applications, the MONITOR 1/2 section is usually used to provide
stage monitor mixes. MON 1/2 is pre-fader, so any changes made to the house mix
will not affect the stage monitors.
In this application, the MONITOR 1/2 SOURCE switch is pressed down (MIC/LN
position) so it receives the same input as the channel fader. The TAPE IN jacks
aren't usually used, unless you need more inputs.
It is possible to create two separate stage monitor mixes by using the MONITOR
PAN controls carefully. For example, the lead singer may wish to hear more drums
and vocals in his or her monitor, while the lead guitarist wants more bass.
To create two different stage monitor mixes:
Set the HEADPHONES SOURCE switch to MON 1/2 (down), or connect your own
monitor speaker to the CONTROL ROOM output to hear the stage monitor mixes.
1 On the Channel modules that you wish to be part of the stage monitor mix, turn
up the MONITOR 1/2 control until the desired balance is obtained. (Make sure
the MONITOR SOURCE switch is in the down position. )
2 To send a Channel only to MONITOR 1, adjust the PAN control (the upper black
knob above the purple LEVEL control) fully left (MONITOR 1). To send a
Channel only to MONITOR 2, adjust the PAN control fully right (MONITOR
2).
3 Use the MONITOR 1/2 MASTER to increase or decrease the overall volume
going to the AUX SEND 1/2 jacks. The default (unity gain) position is marked
with a heavy dot at the "2 o'clock" position.
4 Route the AUXILIARY OUTPUT 1 and 2 jacks to the input of a stereo power
amplifier.
Usually, a 1/3 octave graphic equalizer is patched into the line to notch out
feedback frequencies. The Alesis M-EQ 230 is a perfect unit for this application.
5 Route the two speaker outputs of the amplifier to two different sets of stage
monitors.
Usually, some channels will have to be heard in both monitors. This requires
adjusting the monitor pan and level controls to taste.
