The UCON in a Live Session
Situation
Let’s imagine the following: A good friend of
yours, asks you to do the mixing at a live concert
of his band with 4 musicians. “No problem” is
your simple answer. You grab the UCON CX
and your notebook and off you go for the sound
check at the concert hall. Here the already set up
PA and a bunch of cables, with the different
signals of the band, await you.
Hardware routing
The first step is done quickly. The microphone
of the singer goes to analog input 1 of the
UCON. The bass guitar goes to analog input 2.
The signal of the rhythm guitar goes through an
effect unit. This provides a stereo signal and is
connected with the analog input 5-6. The 8
microphone signals of the drums go to an ADAT
converter, which is connected with the ADAT
input of the UCON. Now, take good care that all
signals reach the UCON Mixer with perfect
level. The mix out of the UCON CX is
connected to the amp which feeds the PA of the
concert hall – you can check this signal in detail
using the headphone plug at the front of the
UCON. All Faders up, at last the master sum,
and here we go… Though the concert hall really
sounds great now, the musicians only hear
themselves indirectly via the speakers, directed
away from them into the audience. All right: you
need to give each musician an individual
monitor signal or headphone mix. Well, that’s
easy, because the UCON features 4 independent
aux busses. How to do it?
