Anybody have any experience or comments on the "Hear Back System"

We are struggling to get everything dialed in.

What is your problem? I have not used the Hear Back system but what are you having problems getting dialed in?

Doesn't everyone have their own monitor mix so they can dial it in the way they want it?

supposedly.....I'm usually the service leader so my sound is from a wedge monitor sitting next to the pulpit.

We are continuosly battling with hearing the bass. And while the sound man is only supposed to control the volume of the house mix each time he turns it down it effects the volume in the ear monitors.

So far I am not a big fan of the system.

If you can't hear the bass, perhaps he has too much bottom in the house...

The whole purpose of this system is so that each individual can have his mix the way he wants it. The guy running the FOH board should have absolutely no control over your system.

Are you using in ear monitors or are you trying to use this system with wedges?

If you are using the wedges and the soundman turns down the house then you are probably thinking he is turning down your mix when all he is doing is lowering the house mix. This is a very common problem when singers or musicians can't tell the difference between the house mix and monitor mix.

Your best solution for 95% of all monitor mix problems is to lower overall stage volume and let the soundman push the house. You can spend thousands of dollars on monitor systems when all you really need is for your drummer, bass, or organ to turn down just a little.

Amen!! Wonder where you came up with that idea?

What is feeding the signal to your hearback system? AUX out? Mono out? Y split from your main mix?

I'll get our sound man to post when he comes on later

I do my monitors simple.. Mains on the left channel and monitors on the left channel. That way we hear the same thing that everyone else does... if the sound man has a good mix for him, you should have a good mix also... I've been in churches where they mixed each monitor and personally didn't think it worked very well... everyone was trying to tell the sound man how to mix their monitor, it was a mess...
