for a setup with two monitors, put each monitor on a separate
channel.
for a setup with four monitors, put two monitors on each chan-
nel. never use more than THREE monitors on a channel.
1/4” cable (instrument cable)
for our older monitors, use
a speakon to 1/4” cable.

Board
numbered xlr inputs are matched to the numbered channels on the rear of the board.
inputs from the snake
four xlr cables from the board are used for the mixer outputsoutputs from the board

Microphones
no phantom power57’s, 58’s, wireless mics, and LAV’s - most mics we use at FAUD
dynamic mics
phantom power (external power) is required SM81’s, floor mics
48V
condenser mics
phantom power is activated by channel:1. Mute the channel and turn down the fader!!!!!2. Activate the “48V” button

Gate - green section
Comp - green section
Equalizer - red section
external power for condenser mikes
gate only lets sound through at
a certain loudness -- good for
drum kits
for beginning sound techs, the following sections may hurt you
more than help you. however, as you get more comfortable with
running sound, it will benefit you to test out the gate, compressor
and equalizer.
compressor helps to cap the
loudness of channels -- good for
singers
adjusts frequency -- good for
dealing with feedback
polarity reverse
set volume
high pass filter - start at around 160
high pass filter - filters frequencies - good for
speakers or singers
