The drummer is the mic and channel hog of the band; Dustin has the kick, snare and three toms mic'd
up, in addition to two overhead mics. These run to mic inputs 1-7. desTROYer is rockin' the electric guitar
through an Ampeg GVT52-212 guitar amp. The amp is mic'd and connected to the channel 8 mic input.
Keyboard player Chris is connected to the channel 10 and 11 line inputs...well, Chris isn't connected to
the inputs; his keyboard is! Vocalist Anthony is singing through a mic connected to the mic 19 input. A
bass guitar is connected to an Ampeg rig which is connected (via DI) to the mic 20 input. The last four
mono channels of each 24 and 32-channel VLZ4 4•Bus mixer have built-in compressors, so feel free to
"squeeze" the vocals and bass to heart's desire since they lie here. Last, but not least, a DJ is spinning
records connected (via a d.2 Pro DJ mixer) to the line inputs on stereo channels 21/22. The sound guy
(or gal) may monitor levels using headphones (via the headphones output) and/or a pair of MR8mk3's
connected to the monitor L/R outputs.
Four SRM450v2 powered speakers are used as stage monitors for the band; they are connected to the
aux 1-4 send jacks. An SRM150 powered speaker receives a mono input from the aux 5 send, and is
used as a monitor for Chris (the keyboard player). Graphic EQs are connected to aux inserts 1-4 to help
prevent feedback.
The club is driven by connecting a pair of DLM12S powered subwoofers and a pair of DLM12
powered speakers to the main left and right outputs.
A laptop connects to the mixer via the USB port, allowing the 2-channel main mix to be recorded.
Any music (iTunes , mp3s, or other pre-recorded audio) may be played back from the laptop, as well.

These can enter as either a source for the monitor and phones, or any available channels.
