[QUOTE="David Luscombe, post: 24971, member: 478"] Re: using "wye or Y" cables and associated questions Thanks for the reply's I personally would never work this way in a pink fit BUT...for the purpose of this excercise it will have to do. some background to what is happening is this. they currently have drums, bass, 2 guitars, 2 acoustic guitars, 6-7 singers and a keyboard on the stage. The drummer currently has a set of headphones for monitors and everyone else is on wedges of all shapes and sizes. So what is happening ATM is that the drummer is belting the crap out of his kit because he cannot hear his kit at all......and so the cycle begins. What we are proposing to do is change the set up, cut back to 5 singers and rearrange thing so that the drums have SOME ability to be miked so what i have come up with is this. 1.Kick 2.Snare 3.Toms (Two Mics summed to one channel) 4.Overheads L 5.Overheads R 6.Bass 7.Guitar 1 8.Guitar 2 9.Acoustic 1 10.Acoustic 2 11.Keys 1 12.Keys 2 13/14.CD 15/16.Reverb Return 17.B.V 18.B.V 19.B.V 20.B.V 21.Keys Vox 22.Main Vox 23.Radio Headset 24.Handheld Radio So with the drums which to this point have never been miked, the point of miking them is for the In-Ears for a start so that the drummer can hear himself and perhaps then they can be used for FOH is wanted as well. Also for the phantom issue i asked about, I will just use a phantom power supply before the summing box so that is all good. Also this is all Very Temporary as if this works out the an Ilive or Similar will be bought so this is to be done on a SMALL budget. Also as for the time and cost involved in making the summing boxs and what not is not an issue as these will belong to me and i will be using them for my own work anyways. One other note, i have attached a schematic for a Stereo In Di with a Summing box on the end for Mono out. The reason i have this is that one of the Keyboards that will be being used is a cheap one with only a headphones out and so a mono cable into the headphone socket(which is what the curently have) makes some crazy distorted sound sometimes. I assume this if because either L or R is being shorted to earth. Anyways its a bit of a long post but i hope that this explains it a little and can anyone tell me if the schematic looks good, it is just a conglomeration of a few schematics and ideas Cheers Dave [ATTACH]149607.vB5-legacyid=955[/ATTACH] edit: PDF now works.
