Different strokes. I not only don't want isolation when I'm mixing, I don't even use a double muff. I have half of an old Sony wired mono. i don't do loud shows, though.
I don't "mix" on the headphones - and don't know any live sound pros that do. I use them only to solo something in which case it's important to have that isolation to spot weird noises and maybe do some fine EQ adjustment.
BTW here's the headphones I use - on sale even ! :http://www.americanmusical.com/weeklydeals.aspx

The Bose system drives me nuts. It physically hurts me when it's running.
Definitely the active system. Turn it on, instant pain.

It's on the QAP at the bottom confusingly labeled as "Monitor" with two sliders unhelpfully labeled "D" (delay, WTF?) and "L" (level). Turn the "L" all the way up - it's stoopid to have it anywhere else AFAIK.Yeah that is dumb. Thanks Ron - I didn't realise that it was for the headphones. Who would have thunk!

I finally got around to this and thanks.I don't see the monitor that you mentioned. Now at the moment my ipad is running detached and on it's own. meaning the DL1608 is elsewhere. will it show up once it is attached or am I missing something? I am using MD 2.1.1Chris
