Default What exactly is a 'Monitor' speaker ?.

These days foldback systems may include in ear transducers, so the term "wedges" is preferable for the stage foldback monitors. Mixing foldback is quite an art, to give everyone on the stage exactly precisely what he/she wants to hear with no feedback:-) Often with a bigger band on stage, several layers of foldback might be needed, starting with just backline. Good concert rigs have a separate foldback mixer, which can be divided into subgroups just as one might do for the main monitors





** Famous rock band, foldback engineer saying:


Q: What's the difference between a foldback engineer and a toilet seat?
