Getting Sound Happening

The following procedure demonstrates how to connect a microphone to an input and get sound out of the Digital X Bus.

Here’s what you’ll need:

•1 stereo power ampliﬁer

•1 pair of monitor speakers (you can substi- tute a pair of powered monitors for the power ampliﬁer/monitor speaker combo, or a set of stereo headphones)

•1 microphone

•Appropriate cable to connect the microphone to your particular input card

•Cables to connect the speaker outputs to the ampliﬁer or powered monitor speakers

Here's what you do:

1.Turn on the Digital X Bus.

2.Connect a microphone to Input 1. If you are us- ing a MIC/LINE 8 card, use a DB25-to-XLR fe- male breakout cable to connect the microphone to Input 1. If you are using a MIC/LINE 4 card, you can plug the XLR microphone cable directly into the card.
