Hey

i am looking for a mixer for my bands montiroing. We would use it for pracitce as for palying live asweel. We now practice through a normal pa, system
But i would like to take it one step toward professional.
And we are going in-ear!

So i would liek to get rid of current, very old mixer and the PA system. Insted i would need a mixer with at least 8, 12 will be good and 4 aux, for the monitoring line!
Then i would send the 4 lines (aux out) to a headphone pre-amp and from there to our ears!

I was looking at a behringer HA8000 for headphone pre-amp. And the behringer mix UB2442FX-pro!

WHat do you think!

I woudl come in handy even for live gigs. We would always use our own, and jsut use the PA desks aux out to our HA-8000 then!

What do you suggest.
Is there another deks wotrh mentioning!
We woudl only use it for montiroing not to produce sound that woudl go to the PA. So i woudl not go buying a MIDAS thing.
What i want to know is it reliable?
 
If I were you, I'd go to this thread:

And buy Giga's A&H, which I have seen and heard, and it's in great shape.

It's more than the Behri, but it will get you a lot closer to professional. There is also no reason you couldn't use it for 4 monitors sends and the mains for a gig, that's pretty much what it was designed to do. Plus the pres are good enough to use for recording.

I'd buy it myself, but I already have one ;)
 
hey mshilarious,

htanks for the offer
but me being in Europe, the road to washingotn is something to consider...

But thanks anyway.

I have been thinking about this pre-amp for the headphones!

It seem that if when i will use a set of in-earn monitoring i will relly not need a pre-amp to get me to the phoens level!
it seems that the transmitter in the in-ear set has perfect line in. ANd it amplifies the signal itself. SO that is very good, and somehting to think about!
