Thank you everyone for your replies.
I am used to running a show from 1 desk. My desk is usually not very far from the stage. And i use an iPAD a lot, often mixing standing up in front of the musicians, or sitting down at the front of the audience if its a sitdown mellow gig.
But these gigs i am asking about here are at much bigger venues, and so it seems the best option is that i must be at the traditional mix position far from the musicians, and so a monitor mixer is required.
My initial thoughts were like what Mike C and Brian are suggesting, an all A&H system. My only concern is if some venues (very posh big theatres) don’t want a cable running from FOH mix position to the stage.
If a venue has a quality ethernet cable (CAT6?) installed from stage to FOH mix position, maybe thats no more unreliable than an analogue snake?
As i haven’t used Dante before i would also prefer not to have to learn it, but its very flexible, thanks for your input on Dante tourtelot and adethefade.
TOBI, why use Dante for virtual sound check? If am going for an all A&H
system won’t that do the job?
