2. Note on the diagram the placement of all doors, windows, and AC outlets.
3. List the equipment that will be used by the teacher, including the teacher's keyboard,
Group Education Controller 3, and any additional MIDI devices or MIDI instruments,
computer, audio accessories such as tape decks, CD players/burners, stereo
amplifier/receiver, self-powered monitors, and/or speakers.
4. How many student stations will the music laboratory contain?
5. List the equipment that will be used by each student.
6. What are the approximate dimensions of each student station? Include the student bench
or chair, allowing sufficient space between the instrument and bench for the student to be
seated comfortable and for the teacher and other students to walk between stations.
7. Draw to scale a diagram of teacher and student workstations, as well as all additional
audio and/or MIDI accessories.
8. Once the teacher station and student stations are positioned in the diagram, add AC and
Communication Cable (the cable that connects the Student Communications Interfaces,
or SI's to the GEC3) routings. Finally, add the cable routings for the audio accessories
(such as tape decks, CD players/burners, stereo amplifiers, etc.).

Cabling Estimates and Requirements

Here are the different kinds of cable that will be essential to the music laboratory installation:
1. AC Cable carrying electrical current to all devices. Be sure that there are enough
grounded AC outlets to accommodate the teacher and student stations.
2. Audio Cable carrying:
•
Signals from the teacher's instruments and external audio equipment to the GEC3.
•
Signals from the GEC3 to an amplifier (or powered monitors), tape recorder, CD
player/burner.
•
Signals from the student instruments and student computers to the SI's.
All the audio inputs and outputs on the rear panel of the GEC3 , as well as the SI's student
instrument inputs, utilize standard phono jack connectors. See the "Position Your
Equipment" section below for suggestions on the placement of the GEC3 and SI's.
1. Communications Cable carrying audio and communication signals between the GEC3
and the SI's. This modular eight-conductor cabling is inexpensive and is available in
fourteen, twenty-five, and thirty-three foot lengths from your local authorized Korg
dealer.
2. MIDI Cables. MIDI IN – the MIDI OUT port of the Teacher Instrument can be
connected to the GEC3 MIDI IN port via a conventional MIDI cable. MIDI OUT – the
