Just when you thought you had reached a dead end with personal monitoring, myMix appears in the nick of time to save us all from pulling out what’s left of our crowning glory.
The myMix uses a standard ethernet hub (externally powered or using the power-over-ethernet switch), is compatible with the AVB protocol and links up to 8 units on a network at 16 channels each. You can store up to 20 profiles or personal mix settings all viewable on a colour LCD screen. It comes with a mic stand adaptor to mount the unit. Convenient and easy to use so far.

Many a time I would have liked to have been able to audition my synth, you know, solo my channel to make sure I have all the correct setups, perhaps run through a few tricky lines while waiting for the band to get ready. And to be able to mute instruments I don’t want in my mix without actually turning down their level then having to turn them up again at a later time. Efficient. (continue reading…)
