Bassgumbo Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Our band has grown from 4 to 6, making the 4 monitor channels from the M20d less than ideal. We use in-ear monitors, and doubling up performers on monitor lines is just not working. We have a second M20d that got some water damage in one input, causing the prior guitar player/manager to get another one. I was wondering if it is possible to get four more monitor lines by splitting the input lines from the mics/instruments to each mixer, using only one mixer for the output to the mains. Each mixer would need its own WiFi unit, and the individual band member's ipad would only control the monitor lines on which he/she was on. Am I missing anything (besides splitting with $$ for a bigger system), or is there another way of dealing with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONBLACK1 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Just send a mono mix to your 4 mono in ear units. Its not a must to send stereo to each. That way you only need one M20d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONBLACK1 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 If you need to use a splitter to send to both right and left sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 There was an interesting discussion about joining together two M20d for more channels and monitor mixes a few years ago. Have a look at this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassgumbo Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Unfortunately, none of the replies from that thread really addressed how to get more monitor lines out. Line 6 specialist said that the Line 6 Link doesn't help, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I think you'll have to get by using the 8 monitor outputs that you get by connecting the audio outputs of the first M20d into a stereo pair in the 2nd M20d. You are constrained, however, by the fact that the monitor outputs in the first M20 will only be able to carry the audio connected to its own inputs; it cannot receive nor send to its monitors any audio from the 2nd M20d. The monitor outputs of the 2nd M20d can include a stereo mix of the main outputs of the first M20d . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
