This diagram shows an electric guitar connected directly to the channel 1 input (hi-z switch in), a
bass guitar connected directly to channel 2 (hi-z switch in), an acoustic guitar microphone connected to
channel 3 mic input, a studio mic connected to channel 4 mic input, an electronic drum set connected to
channel 5-6 stereo line inputs, a keyboard connected to channel 7-8 stereo line inputs, a keyboard mono
output connected to channel 9 (left input). A CD player connects to the tape input.
A multi-FX processor is connected to the insert jack of channel 1 to work its magic on your guitar. A
dynamics processor is connected to the insert jack of channel 2 for your bass. A compressor is connected
to the insert jack of channel 4 for your vocals.
Mackie HR824mk2 powered reference monitors are used for your control room listening. The
engineer's headphones are used to monitor levels. Aux 2 is set up to provide the feed to a headphone
amplifi er and your band's headphones.
A desktop computer connects to a FireWire port, allowing the 2-channel main mix, individual channels,
and the aux sends to be recorded, and two channels to be played back using audio production software.
Mixer channels 11-12 can play the 2-channel signals from your computer if the FW 1-2 switch at the
top of the 11-12 channel strip is engaged. Aux 1 and 2 can be sent via FireWire to a software effects
plugin. (In the case above, aux 2 is used for the headphone amp.)
