The FireWire connector on the Onyx 1200F can
be connected directly to a FireWire equipped
computer running a DAW application (Digital
Audio Workstation). In this example, there
are twelve microphones connected to the Onyx
1200F and 8 mics connected to each of the Onyx
800R microphone preamps feeding the ADAT in-
puts on the Onyx 1200F, for a total of 28 micro-
phone feeds to the DAW.
Two different sets of studio monitor speakers are connected for control room monitoring. In addition,
five studio monitors and a subwoofer are connected to the line-level outputs for surround sound monitoring.
A stereo digital reverb is connected to the AES/EBU IN/OUT to add reverb to the vocals, and a compressor/
limiter is connected to the channel 1 Insert Send/Return.
The four headphone outputs on the front of the 1200F are used for the musician's monitors. Each head-
phone output is getting a separate, unique headphone mix from the DAW stereo aux sends. A Mackie
Control Universal and C4 are connected via the MIDI IN/OUTs, which controls the Tracktion software
installed on the computer. An external FireWire hard drive is connected to the second FireWire connec-
tion on the Onyx 1200F to serve as a dedicated memory storage device for the audio files.
