3:42, converting stereo source to mono. No. Don't do this. That adaptor will short the Right to ground and you'll only hear the Left channel of the source in mono. Instead use a dual 1/4" cable and put each into the Left of channel 2 & 3. Plugging into only the Left input will cause the signal to be sent mono to the main buss. Ch2 will be the Left source, Ch3 will be the right source.
Can you better explain this? I am running monitor mix out of left channel and sending the right out to the house. I have a mono headphone adapter in the left out but I’m still only hearing stuff in my left ear. Thanks in advance!
Thanks this first video I’ve seen that addressed the elite core in ear pack that allows you to use a good xlr cable instead of the cheap headphones extension cables that were giving me all kinds of static and don’t hold up - thanks for the help on this. I use a Mackie Mix 5 mini mixer works great also for about $59.
Mike! I have a question about setting up a personal IEM system for me. Wanted your opinion on how to do so. Please forgive me if you had mentioned it in this video already. But I'm a drummer looking to use my own personal IEM setup. I wanted to bypass the house mixer and use something compact and portable. Can I run a small 4 channel mixer with a room microphone and a set of IEM's. Any advice would be very appreciated. Thank you and God bless.
Yes ive done it like that for years...but the purpose of using the IEM pack is to give you some extra distance away from the mixer because headphone extensions pull on your neck and so you can have volume control from your belt without having to reach over to the mixer or so you and a drummer can share the same mix from the headphone jack but still have independent control over volume
@@Johnmike excellent point! And you're right, technically you can set it up without the IEM pack. But at this price point, the reason you just gave is worth a ton considering the extra flexibility it gives you. Bravo!
Nice! Would I need the mono adapter if I am just trying to hear myself? Currently, I am running loops just blasting from a speaker. My goal is just to be able to plug my earphones into the mixer and just hear the loop inside my headphones.
you may have saved my ass thousands of dollars, fr, i knew it could be cheaper and didn't require much so fr thank you... & I don't give a damn if u don't know the name of a balanced vs unbalanced quarter inch whatever tf.. your video was the easy and most to the point! 🤟🏼👽
Great video! I have a question. Can i use regular basic 5$ earbuds (that i use for my phone to listen music) or do i need special IEMs? I just want to monitor my vocal back, no other instruments.
I have been trying for like months to find information on running a simple system like this but have 3 to 4 talk back mics and still be ale to run I ears for tracks.. if you can making a video to help me out I would greatly appreciate it
I know this is late, But I have a stage monitor next to me (i’m a drummer) and I’m tryna figure out if i can plug headphones into it. It has no 3.5mm jack or Auxliary jack. It has just a line input
Thank you for this tutorial John!! Quick question: Me and a band mate are wanting to use IEM’s such as this connector with a Alto ZMX 862 mixer so I was wondering if using two sets of in ear’s how would we configure this on the mixer? Thanks again, I’m definitely a newbie
You only have one headphone output on the Alto so I would suggest getting a headphone amplifier to send to different in ears. You obviously won't be able to get different mixes as you don't have busses on the Alto but you can control the master headphone level individually on the headphone amp. Here's an idea of what im talking about. Let me know if that was the answer you were looking for www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Mackie-HM-4-Headphone-Amplifier/2B0T?origin=product-ads&campaign=PLA+Shop+-+GENERIC&adgroup=GENERIC&medium=vertical_search&network=google&merchant_id=1279443&product_id=107597d1&product_country=GB&product_partition_id=644902077543&gclid=Cj0KCQiAn8nuBRCzARIsAJcdIfM53qS8Fd-McUn8WlwbavDvXmbBpFx9IMSI3PlxjKY3yKJ0pgcX0z8aAoIWEALw_wcB
This might be a dumb question but what where and how would you connect this to? I'm looking to set up a cheap mixing console for recording reharsal and monitoring 4/5 people and just not sure how to connect this from the mixer and if it would need to have a special connector on the main mixer to go out if for 4/5 headphones
Can I make this work with the mixer you used: I want to be able to play audio source (laptop) into mixer and out to a speaker(s) as well as my IEM. I have a 3.5M to RCA adapter that I would assume I could plug into the 2-Track L/R INPUT from my laptop for audio source. And then would plug 6.5M cable from LINE OUT to guitar amp/speaker and then 6.5M adapter to my IEM. That way I could play audio source through loud speaker but still have audio in my IEM to play to.
Is it possible to run 2 x in ear monitors from the mixer? We'd be playing tracks with click from iphone via sound cloud. my son can listen/play along and I can listen in too.
I would need some simple information. I don't know if what I'm going to ask you is achievable or not. I live with several people and therefore when I play the guitar I embarrass them because my room is not well soundproofed and therefore even if I am at a "normal" volume they can hear. So my goal is simple: to have the sound of my amp in my headphones but I could simply have plugged them into the jack of my amp but when I do the sound is very very weak and they sizzle more than anything else ( I want to say that I do not have headphones in 6.5 and therefore I use an adapter), and when I play I am 1.50-2 meters from my amp so the cable is not long enough. So I would like to know if I am using a wireless in-ear system can I only hear the amp from a distance? For example if I take the T.bone IEM 75 system that I plug it in mono on the "headphone" jack of the amp is that I could use it just like that or do you have another solution so that I can play with headphones remotely without disturbing anyone?
Hey Mike! Love your videos. I'm thinking if you could use the elite core or the Behringer PM1 with a dynamic mic wireless system like a XVive U3, to make it wireless. I wonder if it works well.
Thanks for this tutorial! Quick question, can I omit the headphone in ear pack and simply plug my IEM’s right into the headphone jack on the mixer? Also do I simply run a line from the aux input on the snake to the mixer or do I need an amp in order to generate sound for the headphones?
Hi John. Is there a way to get a little bit of the tracks with the click? Just for reference? It's the part of the puzzle I'm struggling to work out. I use the Prime app running out of a ipad. I know you have a lot of experience with that. Thank you.
Hello MR Mike , I am planning to set up a home studio at home , I know how to handle all Mike but I don't know how to get moniter effect through head set while recording at home... As all they do in professional studios
I am a solo performer and my mixer is within arms reach. Couldn't I just plug in a headset into the headphone on the mixer and achieve the same thing without purchasing the Behringer Powerplay PM1 1-Ch Personal In-ear Monitor Beltpack?
Yup you sure can...this setup would be best for someone that doesn’t have the mixer in arms reach and doesn’t want a headphone extension weighing them down
OK Mike what if I just want to run that mixer to the house so I can hear the house run back into my headphones sound instead of my keys and stuff and ran through the mix
@@Johnmike hey whats up can explain that one more time. Cause how i have it set up at church is the following. We bridged 2 mixer to have extra channels. Mixer 1 is the main with vocals. Mixer 2 sub mixer has the drums keys, bass, and click which is connected using a snake cable.So i have on the snake box channel 1 keys, channel 2-4 overhead,snare, and kick, channel 6 is click and channel 8 bass but thats going to the house.I have a small mixer by me to actually play the click track thats connect to a di box ran from channel 6 on the snake box.but i want to hook it up where i can hear everything from the house in my personal mixer.
Okay so in my worship team it's only Keys and a drummer and we use monitors speakers but sometimes that doesn't help so how can I setup in ears just for me and my drummer?
hello, please i have question. if i connect Trs to 1/4" Male TRS to 1/4" Female TS Insert Direct-Out Adapter ? can change insert to work a direct our ? or sec ,way if i connect TRS male to adapter Ts female to trs male. can change the insert to work a direct out ? my mixer yamaha MG 166 c
I got where you plug in the PM1 but now you have to plug in the mixer into the board or snake right? What kind of chord do you use and where does it plug into the mixer?
get a rolls PM55p. aux out from mixer to rolls input. output to headphones, IEM's or out to a wireless receiver and take full control of the overall mix and more me vocals mix taking it out of the hands of the FOH guy. done. has a ground lift switch and a limiter as well with a mic thru. sweet.
Would it be possible for me as a drummer to just plug my earphones straight into the mixer? with an adapter of course, but like is it possible to skip the amplifier?
I bought this exact same gear except I am using my yamaha mixer. My Sure SE 215 ears are only getting a signal on the left side. Panning doesn’t help. I am using a mic as an input. What am I doing wrong?
You can...but most cables aren’t long enough...and even if they are...the stretch of the cable pulls on the back of your neck...secondly having a pack clipped on your belt it’s quicker and more convenient to adjust your volume from there than to reach over to adjust via your mixer...
VFM Group I bought PM1 and used it recently. The volume is too soft and even my wedge sounded way louder. I did turned up the volume knob for both mixer board and pm01 to max, however it's still very soft. My IEM is Shure 215. Any advice? Is it because it's passive so it's limited to the volume output?
@@Johnmike thanks for your prompt reply John. For PM 1, is it compulsory to plug it into 'Phone' jack on the mixer? I tried it and there wasn't any sound coming out. Alternatively, I tried it on the Output (under speakers, SEND), however they were not plugged in, it does provide sound but just very low volime
The mono plug is the TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) plug. The stereo plug is TRRS (tip-ring-ring-sleeve). Obviously referring to the rings (or how many there are when you look at the actual plug). Otherwise, very cool and informative! More power to you!
I wouldn’t recommend Beringer products. They break down quick and your out of money. Better to spend an extra $10-20 for a Mackie, Yamaha, etc that will last.

What kind of IEM system do you have? How is yours setup? Let me know in the comments!
John Mike Here's a thing we don't run In-Ears we just use monitors like the speakers next to us and we run stereo.
I created 6 stereo busses on 12 outputs of my X32. We run them in 6 Behringer P1's. Every member controls his/her mix by tablet and everyone is happy!

Hi! I need your help quickly, can you use the same setup but just switch the wired which a wireless in ear system? Thanks.
This was just the video I was looking for . Thanks John
I’ve been wondering for so long how to do a simple setup this helps out a lot. Your videos are truly a blessing!!
Awesome!
3:42, converting stereo source to mono. No. Don't do this. That adaptor will short the Right to ground and you'll only hear the Left channel of the source in mono. Instead use a dual 1/4" cable and put each into the Left of channel 2 & 3. Plugging into only the Left input will cause the signal to be sent mono to the main buss. Ch2 will be the Left source, Ch3 will be the right source.
Can you better explain this? I am running monitor mix out of left channel and sending the right out to the house. I have a mono headphone adapter in the left out but I’m still only hearing stuff in my left ear. Thanks in advance!
Thanks this first video I’ve seen that addressed the elite core in ear pack that allows you to use a good xlr cable instead of the cheap headphones extension cables that were giving me all kinds of static and don’t hold up - thanks for the help on this. I use a Mackie Mix 5 mini mixer works great also for about $59.
This answered a lot of questions thanks for looking out for the budget musician lol
ive been on those situations
Hi,thanks for this....im struggling hearing myself during live and this is the solution for my prob
This helped so much, thank you
That 1/4 to xlr cable is not stereo. It is summing your stereo signal to mono over the xlr. Rest of the video is interesting
Hi! I need your help quickly, can you use the same setup but just switch the wired which a wireless in ear system? Thank
This is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Really helpful, I just bought Yamaha TH amp, I want to monitor vocals. Not sure how I would work it. But this is cool.

Wouldn’t the whole system work just as well without the in ear pack ? So u just plug your in ears straight to the mixer

To mixer board
OK Mike what if I just want to run that mixer to the house so I can hear the house run back into my headphones sound instead of my keys and stuff and ran through the mix

Okay so in my worship team it's only Keys and a drummer and we use monitors speakers but sometimes that doesn't help so how can I setup in ears just for me and my drummer?
Use this same method...just get a headphone splitter or use one of the the other outs on the mixer for the drummer

I would look at the headphone adapter you are using...it needs to be a mono adapter
How would it work if you're running your tracks thru an interface such as focusrite?
Just run your interface into the mixer...both the left and right channels...split the signal using pan on the mixer channels

Yes
Question, why cant you plug your in-ears directly to the phone jack and skip the in ear amp?
You can...but most cables aren’t long enough...and even if they are...the stretch of the cable pulls on the back of your neck...secondly having a pack clipped on your belt it’s quicker and more convenient to adjust your volume from there than to reach over to adjust via your mixer...

The mono plug is the TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) plug. The stereo plug is TRRS (tip-ring-ring-sleeve). Obviously referring to the rings (or how many there are when you look at the actual plug).

Hello, how do you power up your xenyx mixer?
I just plugged it up...nothing special
How to setup simple talk back mic
Check this video...using the same mixer th-cam.com/video/cqm565UOm0I/w-d-xo.html
I think you have it the wrong way around. Mono is single ear, Stereo is multi-source. So stereo is both ears.
Do you have to have mics for a in-ears?
Yea I use a separate talkback mic plugged into the mixer
I wouldn’t recommend Beringer products. They break down quick and your out of money. Better to spend an extra $10-20 for a Mackie, Yamaha, etc that will last.
