Behringer X32 as IEM mixer.

[warwickhunt]

Well the X32 is here which our band is going to use as an IEM mixer for live work where we do gigs where an engineer will be handling FOH and this is our responsibility.  I'm going to start setting it up for basic IEM mixes which the band can then tweak.  I have several questions if anyone can assist.

 

1. Do I set up each of the 6 IE outs independently or are there global settings that I can apply to all output mixes?

2. I'm certainly going to take a stereo IE mix from the X32 (several band members have shrugged and said mono is fine) but is there any benefit to using XLR over 1/4" outputs?  My IE transmitter is a combi input and will take either. 

 

What are the obvious things that I'll miss and potentially need to do/know about?
