Portable Entertainment Sound Reinforcement Set-Up

TOA's  RX-7  consoles  are  designed  to  help  out  when
you're out on the road. We're sure you'll find just the right

set-ups for each show, but we wanted to show one way it

might  be  done.
The balanced, low-impedance connectors on the RX-7 can
handle the widest possible range of inputs: dynamic mics,
condenser mics  (with  our 48V  DC phantom power), line

inputs,  sub-mixers,  electric  instruments,  special  effects
equipment, wireless units, and on and on. As for outputs,
besides  the  main  speakers,  you can send your signals to

just about anywhere via FB Out, Echo Send, TB Out and

Connection Example I

(Fig. 22)

Mic Setting

Accessory  Send  outputs.  Other  output  terminals  can be
used to supplement the two FB Out circuits, for optional

versatility.  The  following  illustration  shows  how  the

system  can  be  set  up  to  improve  sound  imagery,  by

inserting delay units in the PGM Outs 3  & 4.
A  wide  variety  of  signal  processing  equipment  is
smoothly  integrated  with  the  operation  of  the  console.
The  main  speaker  is  a  3-way  system.  And  with  the

Phones  Out  for monitor speakers  and Air Monitor input

for ceiling  mics,  what's  being  played in the hall is heard
wherever you wish.
