Here's a pretty common setup utilizing the DL1608. Drums are mic'd up and sent to input channels 1-7.
An additional seven mics are connected to input channels 8-14. These may be used to mic guitar and
bass cabinets, acoustic guitar, lead and background vocals, a horn section, etc. A keyboard is connected
to channels 15-16 via 1/4" input jacks.
The L/R main outs of the DL1608 connect directly to a pair of Mackie HD1501 powered subwoofers
which are connected to a pair of Mackie HD1221 powered loudspeakers. Aux sends 1-4 are sent to four
separate SRM450v2 powered loudspeakers set up as monitors for the band. Aux sends 5-6 are sent to
transmitters for in-ear monitors.
The house engineer's iPad is connected (but not locked) to the DL1608 where he/she will set the LR main
mix, as well as get the 2-track recording of the band's live show.
