    Sweet, I’d forgotten you’d offered to do that mate, nice one. I’m assuming the idea would be to have this in line with the monitor aux out from the desk?

    If you will enjoy building this then be my guest, I’ll be more than happy to use it. It’s not 100% necessary though as I do not need to feed the mic to the monitor. The “on air” light would be awesome though.

    I’d forgot your soundcraft desk has a separate monitor matrix – but TBH building a basic LED indicator makes everything even simpler and you would not need to have the reed switch stuck below your fader (which doesn’t look pretty but worked well)

    I’m still waiting for the rest of the maintenance staff at my work to haul out the old nurse call system but at least I’ve found the super bright LED’s again – CPC and CREE changed the part numbers for some bizzare reason. I can get any of red, green, amber or blue – but even with a single one you definitely want an opal (diffuser) as they are too bright to look at directly…
