ARTproaudio MyMonitor Personal Monitor Mixer 2000s - flat black

The original MyMonitor from ART is as simple as the PMM concept gets. It lets a vocalist hear him- or herself (via an XLR input) plus a stereo-capable line-level source (via a 1/4” TRS monitor input) through headphones, but pass only the microphone input to the main mix via an XLR “Mic Thru” output. One use is to sing along to a favorite song piped in from an iPhone or CD player while recording or amplifying only your vocal. A more likely real-world use is if you’re not hearing enough of yourself onstage. Connect your mic to the XLR input. Connect the Mic Thru jack to your input channel on the main mixer or stage snake. Grab a monitor aux send from your gig’s main mixer into the 1/4” monitor input. (If the ambient sound onstage is loud enough, you could skip the monitor input.) Now, you can use the knobs to blend yourself over the rest of it in your headphones, sending only yourself to the main mix that the audience hears—the desired result.

Note that the MyMonitor expects to be connected to a microphone input on the main mixer. It doesn’t have as much gain as a stand-alone mic preamp, so that, as well as phantom power for condenser mics, has to come from the main mixer by way of the Mic Thru jack. On the other hand, there’s no need to restrict the MyMonitor to vocals. One could point the mic at an amp, acoustic guitar, sax, et cetera, or use a 1/4”-to-XLR cable for a synth or digital stage piano.

This unit is in pristine condition, only used in my smokeless home studio. I've never inserted a battery into the 9V battery recepticle, so it's pristine also. Includes original power supply.
