Live Stereo PA System

Mix Series mixers are powerful tools that offer a lot of features, but are still easy to set up and use.

Let's take a look at an example of using a Mix12FX in a live PA environment.

In this example, a microphone is connected to the channel 1 mic input, the rhythm guitar to the channel

2 mic input via Direct Injection (DI), the lead guitar plays through a stereo effects processor plugged into

the channel 5/6 line inputs and a synth is connected to the channel 11/12 line inputs.

The FX send jack connects to an external effects processor which is routed back into the channel 9/10

line inputs, while an MP3 player is connected to the RCA tape inputs to provide entertainment between

sets. The 1/4" L/R main outs connect to a pair of SRM450v3 powered loudspeakers to please your

audience.
