Every plot has a moment where somebody asks "what plugs in where". The IEM icon settles it on paper: it states a mix position, which is really a request for a discrete monitor send.
Drag it onto the canvas, resize it, rename the label, and it lands in the exported PDF exactly where you left it.
Where it sits on the deck changes how the rest of the plot reads. Wedges sit downstage of each performer, angled up and away from the vocal mic to protect gain before feedback. Side fills sit at the wings, firing across the stage. Snap the icon to the grid and the distances stay believable on a printed page.
Say this part explicitly. Number the mixes on the plot. Unnumbered wedges get patched in whatever order the crew happens to find them.
IEM is not an audio source, so it adds no rows to the input list. It is there to make the drawing accurate: it states a mix position, which is really a request for a discrete monitor send, and the channel count stays clean because nothing silent is padding it out.
Channel names travel with the plot. Export a scene file for an X32, M32, or Wing, or a channel name CSV for dLive, Avantis, SQ, DiGiCo, and Yamaha CL and QL. See the console guides.
More Monitors
6 icons share the Monitors section of the palette. These are the ones most often placed alongside IEM.
States a mix position, which is really a request for a discrete monitor send is only part of the picture. These icons come from PA, Mics and Stageboxes, the sections that most often appear on the same drawing.
