Live Sound: House Engineer
Here's a pretty common setup utilizing the DL32S. Mics are connected to input channels 1-16 which may be used to mic up
a drum set, guitar and bass cabinets, acoustic guitar, lead and background vocals, a horn section, etc. A pair of synthesizers
are connected to channels 25-26 and 27-28 and a couple of axes into inputs 31 and 32, all via 1/4" input jacks. And there are
still an additional 10 unused inputs available for extra mics!
Outputs 9-10 are assigned as the L/R main outs [default]. These connect directly to a pair of Thump18S powered subwoofers
which are connected to a pair of Thump15BST powered loudspeakers. Outputs 3-8 are assigned as aux sends 1-6. These are
sent to six separate Thump12A powered loudspeakers set up as monitors for the band. Outputs 1-2 are sent to transmitters
for in-ear monitors.
The house engineer will set the LR main mix, as well as get the multitrack recording of the band's live show utilizing
the multi-platform device of his/her choice.
