This system is useful if you are short on space, or you are in love with a really nice pair of loudspeakers

and want to share them in a home theater and home studio.

A condenser microphone is connected to the mic input of channel 1, with phantom power engaged.

The line-level output from a guitar ampliﬁer modeler feeds the line input of channel 2. A stereo synth is

connected to channels 3 and 4. A laptop computer running the DAW of your choice is connected to the

tape output, so you can record channels 1, 2, 3, and 4.

The stereo line-level audio output from a DVD player is connected to channels 5 and 6, and a cable

box's audio output is connected to channels 7 and 8. The video output from the cable box and DVD

player connect directly to the TV monitor.

An external effects processor is connected to the aux send (in post mode) and its output connects

to the 802VLZ4 stereo return inputs.

A pair of MR8mk3 powered studio monitors is connected to the control room outputs. A pair of

headphones is connected to the headphones output.

To use the home studio, sing and play your guitar, and record using the DAW of your choice, or listen

through the nice speakers and headphones. Turn down channel 5/6 and 7/8 levels if you are not using

the home theater.

To use the home theater, turn down channel 1-4's level knobs. Select a program using the cable

box, and set the channel 7-8 level knob to unity. Use the control room knob to adjust the level in your

loudspeakers. If you play a DVD, turn up the channel 5/6 level control to unity. Use the TV to select

which video source you want to see.
