This hookup diagram demonstrates how you can
make a live multitrack recording using the DIRECT
OUTs. The DIRECT OUTs provide an analog balanced
direct output for each channel, pre-EQ. The Matrix
outputs are used to create a stereo recording for
backup.
Aux Send 4 is used for stage monitors, and a graphic
EQ is connected to the Aux 4 Insert jack, serving as
a dedicated in-line EQ for the monitors. Aux Sends
5 and 6 are used to drive a stereo IEM system. Aux
Send 3 drives a stereo effects processor, whose stereo
signal is returned via the Stereo Returns jacks.
