Engage the +4dBu/-10dBV switch on channels 3-4 if your drum machine runs at -10 dBV. A dynamics processor is connected to the insert jack of channel 1 to work its magic on your guitar. An effects processor receives a mono input from aux 1 send (in post-fader mode), and its stereo outputs connect to the stereo aux 1 return inputs. A plethora of SRM450v2 powered speakers are strewn across the stage as monitors for the band; they are connected to the aux 2 send jack (in pre-fader mode). Headphones are used to monitor all levels. The club is driven by connecting quad HD1801 powered subwoofers and a pair of HD1531 powered speakers to the main left and right outputs. A laptop computer connects to the FireWire port, allowing the 2-channel main mix, individual channels, and the aux sends to be recorded, and two channels to be played back using audio production software. 6 Onyx 820i
