Choir monitor, previously, was the TB mic (obviously), solos, and a tiny bit of the instruments that they may be singing with (keys, acoustic, etc). Unfortunately, I have to argue every time because they want the entire choir coming back through the monitor. The entire thing. Unfortunately, MD's needs always win and I have to return the entire mix to them. (Diplomatic an non-technical problem here, I know...) I may just cut it out for the next show and see if they notice, or at least reduce it significantly.
I have no idea how this place is hardwired, but after some testing a little while ago it looks like centre is a mono feed, even though there are only LR outputs to the system.
I'll try some of your suggestions! Quick question for all of you: are overheads going to be better than handhelds for each singer? I've done larger choirs before, and have never had to give each person their own mic... Sometimes two people will share, but typically I've always gone for XY and whatever is needed for solos.
