Owner's Manual Stereo Guitar Effects Condenser microphones Multi Effects Processor DLM8 Stage Monitors Direct Boxes Mono EQ Mono Power Amplifier Electronic Drum Kit DLM8 loudspeakers iPodTM Docking Station Headphones Synth Stereo Compressor Mono Compressor DLM12S subwoofers Stereo EQ This diagram shows microphones connected to the mic inputs of channels 1 and 2, and a vocal compressor connected to the channel 1 insert jack. Bass and electric guitars are attached to channels 3 and 4 via DI boxes with a stereo compressor on the insert. The lead guitar plays through a stereo effects processor plugged into channels 5 and 6. An electronic drum kit is connected to channels 7 and 8, while a synth is connected to the line inputs of channels 9 and 10. An iPodTM docking station is connected to the tape RCA inputs, so you can play pre-recorded music during the breaks. A multi-effects processor is connected to aux send 1, with the aux send set to post-level. Effects are added to the main mix via the stereo return inputs, and adjusted with the stereo return level control. To use the aux send for stage monitors instead of an effects processor, set the aux to pre-level so the monitor volume level can be adjusted independently from the main loudspeakers. This setup may easily be configured to become a mono PA setup: (A) Stereo sources should feed the left mono side of the channel input only, (B) pan each channel hard left, (C) connect the mono PA system to the left main out. The main mix output connects to a stereo graphic EQ before connecting to a pair of DLM12S powered subwoofers which are connected to a pair of DLM8 powered loudspeakers to please your audience.
