Expanding the SQ-7 for more Aux Mixes

[Tduggin]

Hi Friends!

I refuse to believe that my church has already outgrown our SQ7. I must be overlooking something.
Each Sunday we have 6 vocalists, drums, guitar, acoustic, keys, and bass.
Each person has an aux mix that they control through SQ4U app for the respective IEM.
We use 11 aux mixes for the musicians and vocalists. The 12th aux mix is used for our live stream audio.

We are needing 4 or more aux mixes for more musicians/vocalists and a choir wedge monitor.
What solutions are available to accomplish this? Should we move to the Avantis??

THANKS!

I believe this is the best solution for additional monitor mixes: https://www.allen-heath.com/key-series/me/

Can you explain how this adds more monitor mixes?
Our band (guitar, acoustic, bass, drums, keys) all use the ME-1.
But that still requires them to have their own individual aux mix, correct?

Does each member in the band have their own ME1 unit?

The ME1 acts as a stand alone small digital mixer for each musician.
They can create their own independent mix at each ME from the inputs present at the ME.

In the IO set up menu you can assign the inputs to send the all the ME unit the mix is created with in each ME.

Maybe some of the other band members could be talked into sharing some mixes.

Is everyone using in ear monitors or are some on stage wedges?

ME Mixers are independent of the Aux Mixes. This leaves all of your aux sends on the board available for other mixes.

Awesome!
This is the information I needed!

Thank you a THOUSAND times!
