Remote headphone ideas?
I find myself doing a lot of mixing via iPad these days, often with the
physical console stuffed someplace inaccessible ("Show's sold out, can't
lose that many seats for the mixer").
Mostly it's doable, but I find that I miss having cue headphones. Which
input is that buzz coming from, has what's-their-name shut their mic off
again, finding all that sort of nonsense without PFL makes my work a lot
tougher than I want it to be. And most of these events are pretty low
budget, so there really isn't a budget for an A2/runner.
Do I just bite the bullet and add an IEM pack and another set of phones to
the amount of crap I'm already wearing, or is there an easy and preferably
cheap way to, say, feed the stereo audio as streaming audio over Wi-Fi?
That way I could use my phone, which has ended up being my intercom too
("What do you need all those ClearCom thingies for anyhow?"), to listen. I
don't want to try to deal with this via Bluetooth; range and latency would
annoy me, I think.
And how come nobody has built this stuff in to a console yet?
And while we're at it, maybe a pony...
