Community tour recreation — submitted by the IEM Rig community team as an editable IEM setup. This is a planned system, not a claimed customer build or physical test receipt.
Source-backed tour recreation
Lady Gaga · Born This Way Ball (2012) · documented monitor system: DiGiCo SD7.
The archival tour report documents an SD7 at monitors, Sennheiser 2000-series IEMs with JH16 earpieces for the band, and a separate MADI-to-Pro Tools recording/virtual-soundcheck chain.
Editable-plan boundary: dLive C2500/DM48 and G4 are functional representatives, not exact SD7/Sennheiser 2000 inventory; splitter and stage-rack details are illustrative and the recording chain is intentionally excluded from show playback.

U5L is the rack address — slot 5, left half of the shelf — so rows land on a specific box even when the rig holds several of the same model. Off-rack gear has no slot and carries none. Port names are the ones the builder wrote on this rig. Cable types resolve from the port pair at each end. 12 links match no cable rule and add no line to the cable list. 8 connections point at gear or ports that are no longer in the catalog and are not listed.
