[QUOTE="Rob Spence, post: 124610, member: 80"] Re: Monitor Split I used the units the OP mentioned years ago. After a particularly complicated gig that took forever to set up and strike I sat down to figure out how to speed things up. When I added up all the individual connections we had made that day I was flabbergasted. On the split panel, there was 3 connections per input alone. Then there was the other end of the cables. Adding the rack split more than doubled the connections. Also, it created some problems to trouble shoot. Knuckles clicking the little rocker switches on the units I had (lift, pad) which made for puzzles at line check. I replaced it with the EWI poor mans split. Much easier and fewer connections. Also, patching on hands and knees on the ground was a pain, especially at night. Wiring up the FX racks was another hassle. I solved that at first with the ELCO disconnects I got from Audiopile and later by moving to a digital desk. In the end, I went from around 370 individual XLR matings to around 60 with the accompanying time and error savings. Sent from my iPad HD [/QUOTE]
