This diagram shows mono synths connected to the mono line inputs of channel 1 and 2, and stereo

synths connected to the stereo line inputs of channels 5/6, and 7/8.

The XLR main mix outputs are connected to two channels of a stage snake. The main output level switch

next to the main outputs is set to mic, and these balanced outputs are then suitable for sending over long

cable runs from the snake to the front of house mixer. Here, the keyboard submix is added to main mix

with the other instruments and vocals of your legendary all-star band.

The snake returns a stage monitor feed from the FOH mixer into channel 3's line input. Leave the

channel 3 level down, so this feed is not sent to the main mix of the 802VLZ4. Adjust the channel 3

aux control to add the stage monitor mix from the front of house mixer. Adjust the other channel's aux

controls until you are happy with the overall monitor mix of your keyboards and the band's guitars/

drums/vocals etc. Set the aux post/pre switch to pre-level to run the SRM150 as a powered stage

monitor. With this arrangement, you have more control over what you hear in the monitor. You can

add "more me" and "less them," and generally adjust the monitor mix to your liking.

A pair of headphone is connected to the headphones output.
