6. Standard live mixer setups

The following section describes aspects of using the S/L console in live sound reinforcement. Because live sound reinforce- ment is so diverse in set-up requirements and connections, this section will only discuss aspects of a live system setup and focus on the features of the S/L series console. The features covered in the following are:

Auxiliary sends

Recording a live show to 2 track

Sub mixing with groups

A Live sound system

The Sound Check

AUXILIARY SENDS

The S/L consoles feature 8 auxiliary sends with several switchable routing possibilities. For live sound, the main tasks for the auxiliary sends are stage monitor sends, effects sends and specialty sub mixes.

For stage monitor sends, the S/L console is capable of having 6 pre-fader sends. This is made up of the pre-fader AUX 1 and 2 sends, the AUX 3 and 4 sends in pre fader mode (via the PRE switch down) and the AUX 7/8 sends in the pre-fader / post EQ mode (via the PRE w/EQ switch down). In many cases, the AUX 1-2 sends and AUX 3-4 sends in the pre fader mode will pro- vide the typical 4 monitor sends. Here the 4 monitors would break down as 3 individual front-of-stage monitors (center, left and right) and a monitor mix for the drummer (rear stage). The Auxiliary 1-4 sends are especially designed for this setup with the PRE switches on the channel and the FLIP switches on the AUX SEND 1-4 masters. The FLIP switches, on the AUX SEND 1-4 masters make the 1-4 Group’s XLR balanced outputs available to these sends. The XLR balanced outputs provide better noise

rejection and better Signal level when
