Typical Live Sound System
This diagram shows a mic'd up drum kit utilizing the first five channels of the mixer. Microphones
are connected to the next five channels for lead and background vocals. A bass and guitar are attached
to the next two channels' line-level inputs, each via a mono effects processor. An iPod docking station
is attached to the stereo tape inputs.
SRM450v3 powered speakers are connected to the left and right main output. Two of these speakers
are also set up as stage monitors and connect to the mixer's monitor output via a graphic EQ. The aux
mon controls of each channel allow you to create a stage monitor mix as desired. Headphones are used
for monitoring and a footswitch allows you to mute/unmute the internal effects as desired.
A laptop connects to the USB port on the rear panel of the mixer and allows the 2-channel main mix
of the performance to be recorded to a DAW. Two channels of audio can also play from your computer
to the main mix.
