Greetings,
My church worship team has decided we really want to run my MO8 in stereo in our sanctuary setting after years of hearing mono output.  I am not sure what the best method would be and am interested in hearing from the experts whether my idea listed here works.  We have a fairly large Allen & Heath mixing board (either 16 or 24 channel, my memory fails me on this) and we are using in ear monitoring with an Aviom 16 channel system.

What I am contemplating is running two separate cables from my L and R outputs into Channel 2 (L) and Channel 3 (R) of the mixing board.  Then I assume we would need to pan channel 2 hard left and Channel 3 hard right.  Set the faders and eq for channels 2 and 3 equal and we would get a stereo output.

I am hoping that Avioms would just then need to have channels 2 and 3 set to equal volumes and the mixing board panning would then come through the monitoring.  If the board panning does not do that, it would then be a simple matter of panning channel 2 left and channel 3 right in our personal mixers.

Am I totally off base with this concept or is this something that will accomplish our goal?

Thanks for any help out there.

Steve,

That works fine. 

You could also run your L/R outputs from the Motif to a stereo strip on the mixer board.  You can identify the stereo strip as it has two (L/R) 1/4” phone jacks. This accomplishes the same thing. 

But your approach above will work too. If I had the choice, I would go into the stereo strip. Easier to route FX and monitor. IMHO
