MONO, STEREO AND MIXMODE CONTROL

The bodypack provides simple configuration of a monitor mix and enables the user to customize an individual mix in a multiple mix environment. Three monitoring modes are available - mono, stereo, and MixMode.

Mono: The bodypack receives one signal from the mixer and sends that signal to both earphones. For mono signals, use MixMode (MIX ON).

Stereo: The bodypack receives two signals (L and R) from the mixer and sends the signals to the left and right earphones, respectively. The balance knob adjusts the balance between the left and right earphones. For stereo signals, use the MIX OFF setting.

MixMode: Allows the performer to easily adjust the monitor mix during the performance. In Mix- Mode, the bodypack receives two signals, such as a band mix and a vocal mix. The balance knob adjusts the mix of these two signals. The mixed signal is sent to both the left and right earphones. For example, if the band is overpowering the vocals in the mix, the vocal levels can be increased and the band mix level decreased by simply adjusting the balance knob.
