Fame Mixer Configuration

Here is how the mixing desk was wired up....

• Channel Assignments
• Group Assignments
• Auxilliaries
• Main outputs
• Stereo Inputs
• Matrix

Channel Assignments

Notes:

• S1/S2 are balanced inputs, will need pseudo balanced cables to run from the FX units to the desk. (4 jack to XLR in total)
• S3 Fed from pseudo balanced cables from the CD player (phono to XLR).
• S4 fed from from aux 7/8.
• MGS-64 is run in stereo since it is used to generate SFX, need to spend some time panning these at the Octopad.
• May use one of the compressor/gates on the UHF stick rather than on a less well used body pack, since the stick is used in the finale.
• GL2 is used as sub mixer for the 6 VHF radio mics. No compression or FX are applied at the GL2, these mics are used very occasionally.

Auxilliaries

Notes:

• Group outputs are balanced, will need pseudo balanced cables to run to FX units.

Main Outputs

The DDA CS8 is configured with LCR (or SIS) outputs. This provides an additional centre (mono) output such that when panning from hard left to hard right the sound moves from left, left centre, centre, right centre, right. When the pan pot is central the sound is directed to the centre speakers only. This setup is most useful when flying centre speakers, however we don't have any! So we won't use LCR mode. It is possible however to treat the centre mono feed like an additional group output, and we will use this as the master for the fills.

Group Assignments

The desk has 8 groups, these are assigned as follows:

Stereo Inputs

The CS8 has 2 stereo returns above group 7 & 8 faders. These will be used to re-route aux's 5 & 6 to groups 5,6 and 7&8. This provides mono band foldback to the stage at both stage front and stage rear, and yet allows the SFX to be run in stereo (if necessary).
