Soundcraft Ghost Users

I'm contemplating the best way to add a third set of monitors to my board, any fellow Ghost users have some ideas? Thanks.

Just wondering, why do you need a third set of monitors? IMHO, it is best to have ONE set of GOOD monitors to mix on, that you can trust and know your mix is okay. A second set of monitors for playback giving you that "real-world" sound.

it has to do with my room layout, my 1029/sub setup is at my workstation while my ns10's are at the board. I'm thinking about adding a t set of dynaudio BM5A's to the mix position. The board only has two outputs for speakers though.

ahhhh gotcha. Well, I'd consider adding something like a BigKnob or Central Station, I use the later.

I think the Central Station is a great solution...I want one badly...after the holidays I will be pickin on up.

You really can't beat multiple inputs and being able to easily switch between monitors and sources.

I have (2) Central Stations and don't know what I'd do without them (one in my home studio and one in the studio at my church)! In my home studio, I have routed into the inputs:

MAIN INPUTS = ProToolsHD
AUX INPUTS = Comcast Cable TV box
LINE INPUT#2 = DVD Player
DIGITAL INPUT = GIGA Studio PC stereo out (when I just feel like playing)

SPEAKER OUT A = ADAM S1A monitors
SPEAKER OUT B = Playback Monitors
SPEAKER OUT C = ADAM Sub10 Subwoofer

CUE OUT 1 = Drum Room Monitor
CUE OUT 2 = CD Recorder

I bought this originally as an upgrade to my Control24 for the monitor control, I like the Control24 I just don't care for it's bus section for monitors. I found the Central Station sounds better, but I didn't realize how much I'd depend on it to control my studio. I HIGHLY recommend them!

+1 for the Central Station. I got mine back when they were doing the free CSR-1 promo at Sweetwater and have loved it ever since!
