Need more info here really. \u00a0Individual audio feeds to a small headphone amp and mixer need to be on discrete cables unless its data carried along a CAT5e Network cable [like Aviom or Roland M48 systems]. \u00a0In my church I built a simple system giving each musician a small box with four volume controls. Each box has a 5 pin XLR and we use what\u2019s called star quad mic cable to wire the 5 pin XLRS. So each feed taken from the mixer [aux 1\/2\/3&4 pre-fader] is boosted at the stage end through a four way line level amp \u00a0From there the line level feeds are all unbalanced so the 5 pin wiring is 1= aux 1. 2 = Aux two and so on and then pin 5 isi screen or earth or ground. \u00a0We feed worship leaders vox on 1 worship lead instrument \u00a0on 2 [normally guitar] a mix of the BVs on 3 and keys on 4. Works well for us with a normal band using spot monitors on stands for each musician [Voice Solos and some Yamaha MS100s].<\/p>\n
