Large PA In a large system, the high channels count needs on stage can be supplied with SG4000, while SG1000 would be used in both mixing sites, PA and Monitor, offering all channels operator may need near. In this example, besides dividing the system between stage, house mix and monitor positions, two servers are used together for redundancy, significantly increasing fault tolerance.
