Positioning the Teacher Unit:
The Teacher Unit should be placed near the teacher instrument and close to external audio devices and the room amplifier,
for ease of use. The unit can sit on a desktop or be rack-mounted.
Connect Cabling:

TIP: In the interest of neatness and in order to avoid potential accidents, you should use many cable ties. In order to
minimize potential interference, always try to keep AC, audio, and communications cables as far apart as possible, always
attempting to avoid parallel runs. In addition, avoid exposed and/or loose cabling, avoiding cable runs across walkways
and aisles.

Having permanently mounted the Student Interface units to or near the student instruments,
connect all student instrument outputs to the Student Interface inputs.
If the student workstations include a computer or other auxiliary devices, connect the audio signals
to each Student Interface unit's auxiliary input. Also connect the Mic Out on the back of the Student
Interface unit to the student computer's audio input.
Connect a CAT5 cable from the Teacher Unit to each Student Interface Unit.
Connect the teacher instrument output to the Teacher Unit's instrument inputs.
Connect the audio signals from the teacher computer or other auxiliary devices to the Teacher Unit
auxiliary inputs.
Connect the audio signals from the Record Out jack on the back of the Teacher Unit to any digital
recording device or computer audio interface.
If the Teacher Unit is to be connected to an external amplification system, connect the Room Outs
to the amplifier, receiver, or powered monitors at this time.
Using CAT5 cables:
