This diagram shows a microphone connected to channel 1's mic input, with the

phantom power switch pressed in. A guitar is attached to the instrument input of

channel 2, with the instrument switch pressed in.

An iPod

docking station is connected to the line-level inputs of channels 3 and

4, so you can play to a pre-recorded backing track, or play music during the breaks

caused by drinking too many free lattés. You may need two 1/4" to RCA adapters to

make these connections.

The tape outputs are connected to the line-level stereo inputs of a laptop's sound

card. This allows you to record the entire performance using the DAW of your choice.

The mic and guitar are panned mono, so the same mix is coming out of the main

left and right outputs, and each may be used for a monitor or a front-of-house

loudspeaker as follows:

The left and right main mix outputs connect to an SRM150 powered personal

monitor. This is pointed at the performer (the fabulous you). The thru output of

the SRM150 feeds the input of a DLM8 powered loudspeaker playing to your

appreciative, jittery, hopped-up-on-the-bean audience. Jump quickly from one

song to another, and keep the poetry about the Washington State Rain Festival

(Jan 1st–Dec 31st) to a minimum.
