Its small dimensions means that the FCA202, in combination

with a laptop computer, provides the ideal solution for a mobile

recording studio. All that you need is a small mixing console

or two microphone preamplifiers, so that you can connect

microphones. Given its size, the MINIMIC MIC800 is especially

suitable for this type of application. Figure 4.2 shows a setup

that includes a laptop computer, FCA202, and two MINIMIC

MIC800 microphone preamplifiers.

5. Audio Connections

There are various ways to integrate the FCA202 into your

setup. Depending on the application you will need different

connecting cables, and these will be discussed in the

following section.

5.1 Cabling with jack cables

To operate the FCA202 in series with other equipment, you will

need standard commercial ¼" jack cables, often referred to as

instrument cables or patch cables.

These cables have a ¼" TS jack plug at each end. Connect the

inputs of the equipment with the corresponding outputs of

each of the other devices.
