Rwarren0425 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'm considering the Helix and was hoping for direct feedback on IEMs from someone working with a dedicated bus on a digital mixer (mine is the Berhiner XR18 sepcifically). We're using wired In ears (shure 215s with a Rolls box http://www.rolls.com/product.php?pid=PM351 currently). Can I simply run my monitor aux out of the behringer and into the back of the Helix giving me that bus input only in my headphones? We play small venues, I'm running direct from the mixer, and I'm looking for the simplest setup possible. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If you have a dedicated buss output for your monitor mix, I don't see how running that back into the Helix will be of any benefit to you. You'll have a channel for the Helix in the XR18, so just turn that up in your mix to your liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leftzilla Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 My band runs an XR18 into a Behringer Headphone amp which can send stereo monitoring, and I happen to use an Audio technica in ear wirless (everbody else is just taking a line feed off of the headphone amp). You have 6 bus feeds so you can certainly customise the monitor mix on the XR18, so as Phil M said feed one or two of the bus feed to your IEM. WE rehearse with this system all the time now. We have the drum kit fully miked, keyboards, bass and Helix all running through the system. We use the USB from XR18 to multitrack every rehearsal. Sound is fantastic. The headphone amp is key as it has additional amplification available for the bus feed. This system was originally developed because we ran into a couple of venues that had marginal to crappy monitors onstage. We added an 8 channel splitter snake so we could isolate our onstage monitor mix (into IEMs) from the main board and not interfere with the house mix.
