Installation
Mounting the SI's
Each Student Communications Interface should be mounted on or near the student
instruments, making it easier for students to access volume controls and call buttons. This
will also minimize the length of audio cables required between student instrument and SI.
Position SI's so that student headset cables will not be in the way, inhibiting students' natural
movement in playing. SI's may be attached to desks or wooden tables using wood screws.
Positioning the GEC3
Similarly, the Group Education Controller should be placed on or near the teacher instrument
and close to external audio devices and the room amplifier, for ease of use.
Connect Cabling
Once all equipment is in place, you are ready to lay down the wiring that will connect all lab
equipment:
•
Start with the AC cabling.
•
Next, connect the fixed audio, modular, and speaker cabling (that is, cabling for devices,
such as the GEC3, SI's, and teacher and student instruments that you don't expect to
move).
•
Finally, lay down cabling for any devices that you think may have to be moved from time
to time.
SI Connections
•
Having permanently mounted the SI to or near the student instruments, connect all
student instrument outputs to the SI inputs.
•
If the student workstations include a personal computer, connect the computer audio
signals to each SI's auxiliary input. Consult the computer manufacturer regarding
procedures for disabling the computer's internal speakers for connection to the SI's.
GEC3 Connections
•
Connect the teacher instrument's auxiliary output(s) or headphone output to the GEC3's
instrument inputs, left and right.
