NOTE: Because improper connections may potentially make very

muted while hooking up audio equipment -- you may even choose
to turn your computer off before making the connections.
1. Plug the first microphone into the 1010LT's Analog Input 1 XLR jack. Plug the
second microphone into the Analog Input 2 XLR jack.
