SW4 APPLICATION DIAGRAMS
Wireless Microphone Switcher:
Wireless mics can be unpredictable but the
freedom of movement they offer outweigh their
many liabilities. The SW4 makes it easy to
manage large numbers of wireless and their
backup units. The biggest advantage for the
production is how fast a switch can happen
because the primary and backup mics share
the same snake, mixer and monitor channels.
Usually the vocal wireless mics are managed
by the monitor mixer on the side of the stage.
Should a mic drop out, the monitor engineer
has to quickly jump to the backup mics channel
and then use the intercom to call up to the FOH
engineer to inform them the vocalist is using
the backup channel. If the mic was to go down
in the middle of a song it may take some time
to get the message to the FOH engineer. The
SW4 streamlines this process because it does
not need a second mixer channel for the backup
wireless. The monitor engineer can simply toggle
an SW4 channel and the change-over from one
wireless to another is completely seamless.
FOH Mixing Console Switcher:
This setup details a multi-channel system where
the SW4 switches between two FOH mixing
consoles. This type of setup is common where
one console is dedicated to the opening act while
the second is for the headlining performer. The
SW4 gives you an easy way to instantly switch
consoles even when connecting to large LCR
sound reinforcement systems. Connections are
straight forward. The SW4 is placed in between
the mixing consoles and the speaker processing/
power amps. The balanced LCR bus outputs
from each console pass through channels-1
thru 3. A submaster or auxiliary send from each
console is often used to drive front fi ll speakers
or subs. All of the SW4 channels are linked and
switching from one console to another is done
using a JR•2DT remote control. The bright LED
indicators on the remote constantly alert the
engineers as to which console is live. As an
option you could employ the mix bus to connect
an FM transmitter that broadcasts a mono mix to
far fl ung areas of the festival like the beer garden
and food concessions.
