No aux for your IEM on that mixer. You would have to step up to their "pro" range to get an aux.

You can use the headphone out. But then you have all the outputs. Give it a try.

Assuming that you just have vocal and guitar, then you can use the control room outputs to send a copy of the main mix to your IEM transmitter. This should be better than using the headphone output. Of course you get the FOH mix complete with any reverb from the FX unit you've added.

Anything more complex and you'll need a better mixer. You may fine with IEMs that you can't hear the audience, so you'll need a room mic. You won't want the room mic going to the FOH speakers, so you'll definitely need a mixer with at least one proper aux output for that.

If you are also using backing tracks, then you'll almost certainly want a better mixer as you'll probably want far less backing in your IEM mix than for the FOH mix.

Use the FX send as an aux?

[Wonks]

I thought of that but then you'll either have no reverb on vocals or guitar (if you set the FX return to mix level to 0) or too much on one and too little on the other if you set it up for an IEM mix.

I believe that the output of the controlroom or the headphone is the same. On both you hear the main output. I mean what your audience is hearing.

[Wonks]

It is, but it's not the best way to connect to the JD Hp1 which has two balanced inputs on XLR, as the two Control Room outputs are on balanced TRS jacks.

[Janneman]

Ok. Go for the controlroom outputs
