Good afternoon,
I would love to have yall’s opinion on this situation:
In the venue I’m working with, the isolated broadcast room that has the SQ6 that recieves all the local inputs. They do not have a mixer in the live room. They use an iPad and walk around in the live space and mix via IPAD.
If I wanted to add an SQ5 (FOH/Monitor mixer) with SLINK Card and a DX168 (for the main 16 inputs and in-ears), I’m in a slightly complicated situation.
My understanding is that I would have to have the DX168 running to the FOH/Monitor SQ5 so that the FOH engineer has
1) Gain Control (not digital trim) over the majority of the inputs
2) Ability to mix monitor mixes
3) Ability to PAFL monitor mixes
as well, I would need to spill the local inputs from the SQ6_Broadcast_Mixer to the SQ5_FoHMonitors_Mixer and then spill the SQ5_FoHMonitors_Mixer DX168 inputs to the SQ6_Broadcast_Mixer.
Additionally, I would send a LR Mix of each mixer to the other so that the FOH mixer can hear the online through headphones and the Broadcast mixer can hear the live mixer if need be.
