LIVEMIX PERSONAL MONITOR SYSTEM

Livemix is the personal monitoring system that is simple enough for volunteers to use, but deep enough to meet professional demands. In addition to ease of use and amazing features, Livemix sounds incredible and is an outstanding value.

Every Livemix system needs an input, a central mixer/distributor, and at least one personal mixer. To design the system, just select which input you need, either analog or Dante digital. Then select the central mixer based on how many mixes you need now or may need in the future. Then determine how many personal mixers you need. The CS-SOLO personal mixer, provides one personal mix. The CS-DUO dual mix personal mixer, provides two separate mixes, helping reduce additional costs and stage clutter. Lastly, select how many MT-1 mic stand mounts and accessories you may need.
