I know this has been beat to death but it's a new year. One of the bands I work with is in-ears. I've used the Quilter ProBlock 200, but the output via XLR is weak. Using the line out (effects send) renders a hotter signal but still sounds like an AM radio, even when mic'ing a speaker. My ears are triple UE-7's.
I know the x-32 Rack needs tweaking for sure but I'm curious what some folks are using to send a really good signal to begin with??

Thanks in advance.

Hey Danny, I've been using a Behringer PM-1 for years and it works great. Just EQ your Aux mix at the board and you're in business.

OK I've struggled with this for years. My latest solution is to use a small headphone amp (I'm using a Rolls) and I run my pre/amp (line6, V8, etc.) directly to a channel on the Rolls. I bring the send from the console (X32, Yamaha TF5, etc) into a different channel of the Rolls also. This way my Westones plug into the Rolls, I have a level for my steel (and 6 string guitar) preamps, and bring the console mix in on it's own channel. I'm doing my own mix on my iPad for the console, so I pull my guitar and steel OUT of MY house monitor mix, leaving the raw signal from my preamps from the Rolls. By doing this I no longer get the processed "compressed" (am radio) sound from the console mix, I'm getting the raw outputs of the pre-amp, and bring in the rest of the band on their own channel. I'm sure there's an easier way, but this way I get my sound every night and don't have to depend on what the sound company is sending me.

Problem with the Rolls is noise. Ground lift helps but does not eliminate the noise. Brand new unit. My other does the same thing....

Try the MX122 it's not like the little personal monitor boxes http://www.rolls.com/product.php?pid=MX122

Impedance matching and gain staging is key to getting these sends to work. You may need a DI box out of your amp to go to the PA mixer to get to your IEM's at proper bandwidth.
