19 F-CONTROL AUDIO FCA202 User Manual Its small dimensions means that the FCA202, in combination with a laptop computer, provides the ideal solution for a mobile recording studio. All that you need is a small mixing console or two microphone preamplifiers, so that you can connect microphones. Given its size, the MINIMIC MIC800 is especially suitable for this type of application. Figure 4.2 shows a setup that includes a laptop computer, FCA202, and two MINIMIC MIC800 microphone preamplifiers. Connect the two MINIMIC MIC800 units to the inputs (9) of the FCA202. With two active loudspeakers connected to the outputs (8) of the FCA202, you can control your recording and via the -output (1) provide a musician with a playback signal. If you don't use a pair of loudspeakers, you can use headphones to listen to your mix in case you don´t have to provide a musician with a monitor signal. 5. Audio Connections There are various ways to integrate the FCA202 into your setup. Depending on the application you will need different connecting cables, and these will be discussed in the following section. 5.1 Cabling with jack cables To operate the FCA202 in series with other equipment, you will need standard commercial 1/4" jack cables, often referred to as instrument cables or patch cables. These cables have a 1/4" TS jack plug at each end. Connect the inputs of the equipment with the corresponding outputs of each of the other devices. A setup that includes a laptop computer, an FCA202, headphones, and a sequencer, provides a compact and mobile music production environment.
