HOOKUP DIAGRAMS
This diagram shows a guitar connected directly to channel 1 (with the hi-z switch pressed in), micro-
phones attached to channels 2, 3, and 4, guitar effects processors connected to the left line-level input of
channel 5/6, and 7/8, a keyboard attached to channel 9/10's line-level inputs, and a drum machine
connected to channel 11/12. An iPod docking station is attached to the stereo tape inputs. An effects
processor receives a mono input from the FX send, and its stereo outputs connect to the stereo return
inputs.
Mackie SRM450v2 powered speakers are connected to the left and right main output. Two of these
speakers are also set up as stage monitors, and connect to the mixer's monitor output via a graphic EQ.
The aux mon controls of each channel allow you to create a stage monitor mix that is independent of the
main mix. Use the external graphic EQ to adjust the stage monitor EQ as desired. Headphones are used
for monitoring, and a footswitch allows you to mute/unmute the internal effects as desired.
A laptop connects to the USB port, and allows the 2-channel main mix of the performance to be re-
corded using Tracktion software. Two channels of audio can also play from your computer to the main
mix.
