Vocal Mics
In this hookup diagram, the Direct Outs for channels 9-24
are connected to the analog audio interface for your DAW or
laptop for tracking. The drum microphones are subgrouped
to Groups 1-4 and routed to the analog audio interface for
recording.
A 2-track return is provided by the DAW (or laptop) to the
Stereo Returns on the Onyx 24•4 for playback of the master
mix.
Auxes 5-6 provide a stereo monitor mix for a headphone
distribution amplifier (Aux 5-6 Inserts are connected
to a stereo graphic EQ to provide equalization for the
headphone mixes).
