[QUOTE="Brian English, post: 216899, member: 15028"] I agree with George , feedback would be your enemy in a setup that is connected directly via main outs on a mixer feeding both FOH and monitors mixes. Generally , as long as you do not have a room setup where microphones are in front of the FOH speakers then the floor monitors will be the source of any feedback or distorted sound . I love my QSC Touchmix 16 because , and this is actually important , especially if you want to have instrument feeds as well as vocal , the TM 16 has many aux outs . This means that for every ( up to 9-10 ) monitor I have on stage I can send a blend of whatever the person infront of that monitor needs to hear coming from that speaker and it makes the feedback issue and EQ much easier to manage , especially if you don't have exactly the same monitor for all stations . But what ever you have for a PA mixer , at the very least , you will have at least one aux send and that is what you should use to manage you monitors as it separates the monitor volume levels from your FOH . If you only have one aux out you will need to "daisy chain " your monitors . Most mixers where you would be mixing 4 vocals would have at least 2 aux outs and then you would only need to daisy chain 2 speakers together .
