Stage monitoring
During life

it is essential that the talent hear an

are
usually detived from
pre-fader
auxilliaries. In the
Axion aux 1

this
pu{pose.
Put
the
Aux

globally
to
pre

set up the
rcqui-
red mix
as
requested by the talents. Mostly a monitot eonsole

go
with the FOH Axion console to create the stagemix. V/e

not
go
into detail
concerning stage
mixes.
