Similar setup here using the Hearback system and a IIIc.
We have our Cue L/R normalled to the stereo channel on the Hear mixer, then use inidividual sends for each of the separate 6 mono inputs. Everyone gets the same channels, but they can mix them however they like. We’ll often just use the Cue’s for the talkback (no 2 mix) and use the first two mono inputs for the stereo mix (direct from Pro Tools), then the remaining four are sent as “more me” channels. This way I can pull down the stereo bus in the control room and it doesn’t affect the level to the mixers. Only if we’re tracking a full band at once would we ever need six individual sends. No complaints with this setup and it’s used all the time. -Wm CATAPULT SOUND www.catapultsound.com (267) 662-9000 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Be Hussey Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2011 1:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: NEOTEK: Series 2 headphone monitor PLEASE HELP Ditto that Furman setup here, but I use the Aux sends (early 80s IIIc) that get patched into tie lines going to room. Aux 1-2 default to foldback and aux 3-6 are the 4 mono inputs. This is for analog sessions. For Pro Tools, just straight outputs to tie lines into Furman. For years I just had the default stereo headphone cue (or 2 mono) and it just didn't cut it after awhile. Musicians love the control of course. The Furman system was one of the best purchases I've made in awhile! b -- Be Hussey www.comp-ny.com On Jul 22, 2011, at 9:17 PM, Adam Manoucheri <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Colby- I have an early 80's Series 2...I finally got a system wired up, it may not be the best solution, but so far it works for my purposes. I bought a Furman HDS-6 station and a few HR-6 remote controls. It has 4 mono inputs, as well as one stereo pair. The remotes have two headphone jacks, and 5 knobs---volume controls for the 4 mono inputs, and one for the stereo input. They also have a button to include/exclude the mono inputs from the headphone outs. I ended up wiring all 6 inputs into my patchbay, which allows me to patch in what source goes where. For example, I can either have the stereo input mirror the main stereo out of the console, or what I sometimes do is patch the Cue into the L-R inputs of the HDS-6. Then, I can control what goes where via the Q1 and Q2 (or A and B as you described) knobs at each channel, which sends signal to the L and R inputs respectively, whose level is controlled on the remotes by a single stereo level control. I usually patch selected instruments into the 4 mono inputs of the HDS by patching in the channel I want (guitar, bass, etc) at either the insert send or (if it's being used) by routing to a subgroup (if one is open), which also opens up options to blend more than one channel. That's basically my setup, the first remote is attached to the main unit via a pair of Cat5 cables, and additional remotes are daisy-chained off of it. I don't know if that helps you any or not, but it's the compromise I ended up making to get some flexibility. I'm sure others have better ideas, but this was the best I could come up with... ;-) Good luck!

What are some of your configurations for the musicians to hear the mix. I want each player to be able to say, "hey, I want less bass, and more guitar," etc. I just can't seem to understand how they would be able to adjust those levels in their headphones without it affecting the other headphones. The A and B knobs on each individual channel go to the main "foldback." So, if foldback out goes to a headphone amp, then how would I individually be able to get each headphone their own levels. If I turn down main foldback level A for one person, or B for one person, it affects everyone. I just don't get it. If there was 4 individual outs for headphones with their own a,b,c,d then I would get it, but like this, I dont. Any help would be appreciated. I can't really move forward until I have the headphone setup ideal. I have been working with a very bad headphone setup and cannot take it anymore. Thanks, Colby ps- I bought a headphone amp with 4 headphone jacks, and one line in. Also, the board is a neotek series 2. Mid-80's.
