Application 2 - Using The MPL 1204 As A Main Live Mixer

Here, the MPL 1204’s Main output is connected to the input of a power amplifier, and, from there, to PA speakers. Microphones and line level signals are connected to various channel inputs, and a two-track tape deck is connected to the Tape/CD inputs. A submix from Aux send 1 (which is pre-fade) is connected to the input of a second power amplifier driving onstage monitor speakers so that performers can receive a monitor mix independent of the house mix. Signal is being sent to an external signal processor via Aux send 2, with a stereo return from that processor is connected to

Aux return 1/2. Another signal processor is connected to channel insert 1 so as to affect the signal coming from the mic connected to channel 1, and a third signal processor is connected to Bus insert 4 so that a submix of all channels routed to bus 4 are processed simultaneously.
