Headphone extensions have been the bane of many a sound engineer’s existence. The cables on in-ear monitors (IEMs) are never long enough to get from the musician’s head to the personal mixer, which means we need to provide some sort of extension cable. In the past, I’ve tried buying 1/4-inch headphone extensions and used 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch adapters, but those cheap, off-the-shelf adapters are very stiff and the adapters don’t always work. We’ve also tried making our own. I found…

This article is provided by Behind The Mixer. The front of the church sanctuary is where all eyes are focused. It’s the place where the pastor presents the Word of God. It’s the place where the congregation is lead to worship in song. It’s the place where people kneel at the cross. It’s the place of most importance. I believe it’s important to note the use of the word “stage” before going on. The room is the sanctuary. The…

Aviom has introduced its next generation personal mixer, the A360, which offers new levels of control and customization to the personal monitoring experience with a number of new features. “The number one feature we’ve been asked for over the years is more channels,” says Chandler Collison, Aviom director of marketing. “The key was to provide more content and control for the mix without just throwing more channels and complexity at musicians who are trying to focus on music not mixing.”…
