SPLIT MODE
This setup is typical of a musical duo performing at a small venue such as a club or restaurant.
No external amplifiers or signal processors are required. The musicians simply plug in the
sources and loudspeakers, and use foot controllers to step through their pre-programmed
performance.
Set the output AB mode to FB-M. Amplifier channel A is configured to feed the musicians
foldback loudspeaker and channel B to drive the front-of-house (FOH) PA fed from the LR mix
in mono. The two FOH loudspeakers are wired in parallel using their typical ‘link’
connections. Make sure the combined impedance is no less than 4 ohms. Two 8 ohm speakers
wired in parallel result in a 4 ohm impedance. Do not use 4 ohm speakers in this way as the
parallel connection would result in an excessive 2 ohm amplifier load.
This example shows two musicians each with a guitar and vocal microphone. Plug the guitar
through a DI box if long leads are used or problems with hum and buzz encountered. The pre-
recorded backing tracks are replayed from two replay machines shown here connected to the
same stereo channel. This provides quick track selection and a backup facility without using
up two channels. Differences in recorded track levels can be compensated for using the song
memory level trim facility.
A CD player is used for intermission music and a 2-track recorder to record the performance.
