Below is a pciture of the sound board I work with most often now. It is a Yamaha PM1D. I help our volunteers mix wireless in-ear monitors for our bands weekly. She is gorgeous!

Mmmm, that she is.
So you actually have a monitor engineer? The performers don't control their own mixes?
We have two options, for our fixed band members (drums, bass, keys, perc) we have a unit called Aviom, which is a remote 16 channel mixer that runs over Cat5. We send the 16 channels to them and they run their own mix. (some things are mixed down, i.e. drums are 4 channels not 12 (kick, snare, left & right))
Our background singers, worship leader and some guitar players are on wireless beltpacks, so the monitor guy gets mixes together for them.
So rehearsals are fun and stressful making sure that things sound good for sometimes up to 12 people.
Thanks for stopping by!
Ah, I see. Petra uses Avioms for everybody, but naturally wireless beltpacks are much more sightly.
Sweet, yeah, Avioms are very nice to have, they save a lot of time! The wireless helps clean up the stage and those people don't have to worry about plugging their ears in when they walk on and unplugging when done.
If you ever want to come check out our setup let me know, it would be cool to come up and see what you guys are doing at Petra!
I would love to come by and see your setup at some point, and vice versa ... I remember the tech leadership here batting such an idea around a while back, but it's been lost in the shuffle of once again replacing our head sound engineer.
Once the dust settles again perhaps.
What night do you have rehearsals?
