    Hi
    I need to find a way for the director to monitor my mixer output, wirelessly, with spending too much money.
    Thanks

    Mono OK? buy a cheap butt plug transmitter if your mixer has a spare mic level XLR output. Most of the companies make one.

    Stereo is trickier.

    Real simple… get yourself an FM transmitter approx $50 they are used to feed audio from MP3 players or iPods so you can listen on a car radio..
    I use one on my shure FP33 mixer o/p from “tape out” which is 3.5mm stereo socket.This leaves the XLRs to feed the camera.
    It gives about 10-15m range and you can listen on a standard FM radio (and in stereo), runs on 2xAAA batteries and lasts about 6 hrs….
    Works a treat!!!!!
