SRM450v2 Powered Speakers (Stage Monitors) Aux Send 1 Reverb (Aux Send 3) Delay (Aux Send 4) SRM150 Powered Monitor for keyboard player (Aux Send 2) This diagram shows an electric guitar connected to the channel 1 line input via an amp modeler, a bass guitar connected directly to channel 2 (hi-z switch in), microphones connected to channel 3-8 mic inputs, and a keyboard connected to the channel 9 and 10 inputs. An iPod dock connects to the tape input. Headphones are used to monitor levels. A dynamics processor is connected to the insert jack of channel 2 to work its magic on your bass. Vocal compressors are connected to the channel 7 and 8 inserts. A stereo compressor is connected to the main inserts. SRM450v2 powered speakers are used as stage monitors for the band; they are connected to the aux 1 send jack (in pre-fader mode). An SRM150 powered speaker receives a mono input from aux 2 send (in pre-fader mode), and is used as a monitor for your keyboard player. A reverb processor receives a mono input from aux 3 send (in post-fader mode), and its stereo outputs connect to the stereo aux 3 return inputs. A delay processor receives a mono input from aux 4 send (in post-fader mode), and its stereo outputs connect to the stereo aux 4 return inputs. The aux 5 and 6 sends are sent directly to the computer for processing by whatever VST plug-ins you may desire. These are then returned for playback on channels 15/16. The club is driven by connecting a pair of HD1801 powered subwoofers and a pair of HD1531 powered speakers to the main left and right outputs. Recording outputs 1-16 may be used in lieu of a splitter. All inputs fed into the monitor board may then be re-routed from these outputs into a separate front-of-house console. A laptop connects to a FireWire port, allowing the 2-channel main mix, and individual channels to be recorded. Any music (iTunes, mp3s, or other pre-recorded audio) can be played back from the laptop. These can enter as either a source for the control room and phones, or any available channels.

Setting up a system
Typical Live Sound System
This diagram shows an electric guitar connected to the channel 1 line input via an amp modeler, a bass
guitar connected directly to channel 2 (hi-z switch in), microphones connected to channel 3-8 mic inputs, and
a keyboard connected to the channel 9 and 10 inputs. An iPod dock connects to the tape input. Headphones
are used to monitor levels.
A dynamics processor is connected to the insert jack of channel 2 to work its magic on your bass. Vocal
compressors are connected to the channel 7 and 8 inserts. A stereo compressor is connected to the main
inserts.
SRM450v2 powered speakers are used as stage monitors for the band; they are connected to the aux 1
send jack (in pre-fader mode). An SRM150 powered speaker receives a mono input from aux 2 send (in
pre-fader mode), and is used as a monitor for your keyboard player. A reverb processor receives a mono
input from aux 3 send (in post-fader mode), and its stereo outputs connect to the stereo aux 3 return inputs. A
delay processor receives a mono input from aux 4 send (in post-fader mode), and its stereo outputs connect
to the stereo aux 4 return inputs. The aux 5 and 6 sends are sent directly to the computer for processing by
whatever VST plug-ins you may desire. These are then returned for playback on channels 15/16.
The club is driven by connecting a pair of HD1801 powered subwoofers and a pair of HD1531 powered
speakers to the main left and right outputs. Recording outputs 1-16 may be used in lieu of a splitter. All inputs
