1. STAGE MONITORING
SETUP
The
following
diagram
illustrates
a possible
monitoring
situation,
using
a
second
sub-monitor
mixing
console
"cascaded"' with the first console, in order to accomodate a
'large number of inputs. For example, cascading an MC2408M
console with an MC1608 would provide a total of 40 inputs.
The
CUE
CONTROL
terminals
of both
consoles

connected, providing full-function cueing from the main unit.
An echo unit is patched into the AUX 1 circuit. The AUX 1
controls on the input channels will function as individual
echo sends for each instrument, and the AUX 1 OUT control
is the master echo send. Echo return is adjusted using the
AUX IN level control, and the echo can be assigned to any of
the eight monitor mixes, according to the performers' wishes,
using the AUX OUT ASSIGN switches.
A mono tape deck is
patched into the AUX 2 input. For setting the overall level of
each monitor when the performers are not present, a tape

can be played through each monitor by pressing the AUX
ASSIGN switches and adjusting the appropriate master levels,
Each master output is connected
to a monitor amp via a
graphic equalizer, for accurate equalization of each monitor,
and for "ringing out" (controlling feedback by lowering
frequency response at feedback peak frequencies) the system.
These equalizers could also be connected
to the master
INSERT terminals. Two of the input INSERTS are connect-
ed to effects units — a compressor (useful for adding punch
to vocals, for example) and a noise gate (which could be used :
to eliminate hum from a guitar). Any effects units could be
used, in the input inserts for individual instruments, or in the
master inserts for individual monitor mixes.
The operator can monitor on headphones or via an amplifier/
speaker system connected to the CUE OUTPUT, by pressing
the appropriate cue switches.
