2. Recording System
The recording process can be as simple as one microphone recorded on a monaural tape record.
As in the PA sound reinforcement system shown previously , balanced microphones are plugged directly into the
channel XLR input connectors, while unbalanced electronic instrument outputs (synthesizers,etc.) are connected via a
balancing transformer type direct box. Compressors are connected at the insert jacks of the vocal MIC channels, the
AUX SENDS and RETURN connected to a high-quality stereo plate reverb unit. The PHONES OUT connectors
feed separate headphone amplifiers providing two difference headphone cue mixes for the performers.The CONTROL
ROOM OUT and STUDIO OUT connectors feed the monitor system, and the GROUP OUT &TAPE IN
connectors feed the 4-channel multi-track recorder
