Bring your favorite axe and mic, SRM loudspeakers and cables and power cords. In this example, a dynamic microphone is connected to the channel 1 input of an SRM650 loudspeaker. Be sure that the gain knob is set to "mic" in order to get an extra boost for the mic. If anything other than a microphone is attached to a channel input, make sure the gain knob is set to anything other than "mic" ["line" is a safe bet]. From there, adjust the gain as described on page 11. Now grab your axe and plug it directly into the channel 2 input. Or if you use effects, connect the guitar to the effects input and another cable from the effects output to the channel 2 input. Set the channel two gain knob to "line". An additional SRM550 or SRM650 loudspeaker is great for monitoring. Simply connect a cable from the main SRM loudspeaker's THRU jack to the monitor loudspeaker's channel 1 input [gain knob set to "line"]. Also, make sure the Ch 1/Mix switch is down on the main SRM, as well, so a mix of the vocals and guitar is relayed to the monitor. For the output, you will want to set a speaker mode, described in detail on page 12. For this type of setup, PA works well for the main SRM650. However, don't count out the soloist mode! It has a nice low cut and a brilliant high end. Select the monitor mode for the SRM550 monitor. Lastly, you can ring out before you play, utilizing the SRM's feedback destroyer [page 12] or just let it kill the feedback while playing. Small Coffee Shop Owner's Manual 5
