Monitor Mix Needs

This section describes how many monitor mixes are required on stage, what each mix should include, and whether the artist uses wedge monitors, in-ear monitors (IEMs), or both. It helps the monitor engineer prepare a layout in advance and reduces setup time during soundcheck.

What should this section include?

• Total number of mixes Specify how many independent mixes are needed. Example: '6 separate monitor mixes required.'

• Type of monitoring Clarify the system type for each performer:

• Drummer and vocalist use IEMs.
