Application 1 - LIVE SOUND REINFORCEMENT

This drawing shows a typical configuration for sound reinforcement, with the main PA fed from Mix L/R and a sec-

ondary system fed from the Matrix outputs. The illustration shows the flexibility of the inputs to the mixer and how the
direct outputs are available as sources for a multitrack tape machine. The Aux Sends are used for reverb (Aux 1 & 2

which are pre-fade) and for artists foldback (Aux 4-6).
