[Solved] Mixer for 6 Headphones + Microphone Communication: Budget Options (PLN 300/1000) for Music Bands

Hello, if the topic is in the wrong section, please move it. It's the first time I'm getting used to it.

I urgently need help because I don't know how to fix it. Namely, together with the music team, we want to buy a mixer that will allow us to plug in 6 headphones + a microphone so that we can communicate with each other (and not shout over the stage).

A lot of bands do just this (listening in headphones) I'm already bothering with listening in the loudspeakers enough that you have to carry 2x loudspeakers, there is nowhere to spread it again, because it's such a tight place, and the second thing it's hard to set up these speakers so that everyone looks nice they heard.

We have a Mixer with the band (connect microphones and holistic devices) -----> Power Mixer (only front speakers) and an echo camera

Now we need a good listening mixer, but which one? In order not to be overpriced, something from PLN 300/1000.
And the technique of how to connect it in general. If I connect the microphone, everyone will hear me in the headphones?

I am waiting for a reply, best regards

Headphone auditions are most often performed on wireless systems. And it costs from about PLN 700 for a system for one person. This can be done at lower cost with headphone amplifiers, but you will be plugged in with cables.

How would you give the mixer models you already have and how many inlets you use, it would be better to advise something.

Now tablet-controlled digital mixers are becoming more and more popular. They often have a relatively large number of AUX outputs, so each of you could achieve what you need while listening to your headphones. Plus one microphone channel would be dedicated to the talkback microphone if you need one. Only here your budget will increase to about PLN 2,000 (I think about RCF M18, Soundcraft UI16 or behringer XR16), but you will be able to give up the mixers you are using now. In addition, often such mixers have a simulation of guitar heads and packs, so that a bassist or guitarist could give up the amplifier.

POWERMIXER LDM SMX-11 + Yamaha MG16 / 6FX mixer

Yamaha is pretty much busy. This includes 3 x vocal mics 2/3 mics for drums / etc ipt.

I think wired (not wireless) can be .. How does it look affordable etc.

If you have one microphone input free, plug in the microphone there, do not send it in total, only for listening via the aux bus.

Wired listening is the cost of a headphone amplifier and headphones. Here you have it multitest of such amplifiers, look at your needs and find prices. You will not pay more than PLN 1400 for a fancy one.
Plus, of course, headphones and cables.

What do you think about the behringer-ha8000-8-channel-headphone-amplifier ? Could you connect a microphone to this amplifier so that everyone could hear it in the headphones?

And the connection of the headphone amplifier looks like that from Yamaha I connect the channel with a cable to this amplifier>? I do not deal with it professionally, and as you know, the equipment can be damaged.

3.1.18. Do not send links that will cease to be active after some time. This will make the discussion meaningless.

I don't really like this brand. But this is my private ale.

You can't connect a microphone directly because it doesn't have a mic preamp. You won't find such an amplifier with a preamplifier. But you can always connect via an external preamp or a small mixer.
Aside from the mismatch of levels, it will be the way you want.

Yes.

However, I suggest you get a headphone amplifier with the possibility of correcting each headphone channel.

Best regards.

DjMapet and you can provide a link to this headphone amplifier. I'll check exactly what you mean with it in front of me.

Unless it is about this http://skladmuzyczny.pl/headamp-art-6-pro-6-k...-sluchawkowy-z-korekcja-na-kazdym-kanale.html

Another and cheaper one will be hard to buy, given the number of channels and functionality. I think it's cheaper at Thomann's.
All in all, it is a matter to discuss with the musicians whether they will require listening with the possibility of individual correction.

Best regards.

I bought a listening session. For this Shure se215 and greetings.
