IF you are thinking about spending $ on a QU or some other solution for the monitor mixes, you should consider the ME-1. 9 of them would cost about $4500, but soooo worth the investment. FOH would not affect them at all as they are all direct out each player can save their settings on a flash drive, so the next time you set up, it wont matter which ME unit they sue, they just load their saved settings and go. Can’t say enough how great the ME’s are, especially for in ear via ear buds, but they can control floor monitors as well. You can use a $150 network switch with POE, connect all the ME with Cat5 cables. Saves using all the auxes and costs for iPads. Very slick. My 2 cents.
