The ART MyMonitor is a personal monitor mixer designed to suit the individual level needs of performers.
The mixer features an XLR microphone input and Thru output. A monitor input features a stereo 1/4" phone input and excepts a line level input from external mixers, recorders etc.
The mixer is designed to allow talent to set their own microphone levels without effecting the level on output. Although microphone and line level signal are fed into the mixer, only the microphone signal is sent via the Mic Thru output.
The mixer is powered with a 12V DC power supply or single 9 Volt battery. Dual headphone outputs accommodates 2 headphones.
Problem: A performer needs to hear themselves through headphones exclusively or mixed with the output of a mixer, CD player, tape deck, or other stereo line level source. Only the mic signal, however, should be going to the main mixer.
Solution: Connect MyMONITOR between the mic and line source, and the mixer. The Mic and line Monitor levels can then be adjusted for mix and volume through the headphones. Only the mic signal will go to the board. And since MyMONITOR can be AC or battery powered, the unit can be used on a large stage or wherever there is no AC outlet nearby. Dynamic or condenser mics can be used since phantom power would come through the Mic Thru jack from the mixer or other source.
