RECORDING A LIVE SHOW TO 2 TRACK WITH AUX 7/8

For specialty sub mixes, like recording a live show to a 2 track recorder, the S/L consoles feature a stereo send pair. The stereo send pair of AUX 7/8 provides (via the PRE w/ EQ switch down) an independent stereo mix with PAN for live recording. This independent post EQ send allows a completely separate mix to be sent to a 2-track recorder. Use either the AUX 7/8 Sends or the RCA TAPE OUT for the connection of a two track recorder. The TAPE OUT switch determins which outputs will receive the stereo mix. The AUX 7/8 PAN can also be extremely useful to send two discrete submixes to the L-R audio inputs of a video recorder. Panning hard left and hard right can separate the main speakers and other important channels from background music. This is useful in video post production.

The SL40C is designed specifically for guitarists seeking a versatile and powerful amp that can meet the demands of various musical styles, from rock and blues to jazz and country.

At the heart of the SL40C is its all-tube design, which provides a warm, rich tone that digital amps often struggle to replicate. The amp features a 40-watt output, making it suitable for both practice sessions and live performances. One of the standout characteristics of the SL40C is its dual-channel configuration, allowing players to switch between clean and overdriven tones effortlessly.

Additionally, the presence control enhances high frequencies, giving players the ability to achieve a bright and cutting tone.

Another impressive aspect of the Carvin SL40C is its portability. Weighing in at a manageable level, the amp is easy to transport, making it a favorite among gigging musicians who require a reliable and powerful solution without compromising on sound quality.
