Hookup Diagrams
Typical Live Sound System
The drummer is the mic and channel hog of the band; Dustin has the kick, snare and three toms mic'd
up, in addition to two overhead mics. These run to mic inputs 1-7. desTROYer is rockin' the electric guitar
through a Blackheart full stack rig. Each Blackheart cab is mic'd and connected to the channel 8 and 9
mic inputs. Keyboard player Chris is connected to the channel 10 and 11 line inputs...well, Chris isn't
connected to the inputs; his keyboard is! Vocalist Brian is singing through a mic connected to the mic
19 input. A bass guitar is connected to an Ampeg rig which is connected (via DI) to the mic 20 input.
The last four mono channels of each Mackie VLZ3 4•Bus mixer have built-in compressors, so feel free to
"squeeze" the vocals and bass to heart's desire since they lie here. Last, but not least, a DJ is spinning
records connected (via Mackie d.2 Pro DJ mixer) to the line inputs on stereo channels 21/22. The sound
guy (or gal) may monitor levels using headphones (via the headphones output) and/or a pair of Mackie
HR824mk2's connected to the monitor L/R outputs.
Mackie SRM450v2 powered speakers are used as stage monitors for the band; they are connected to
the aux 1-4 send jacks. A Mackie SRM150 powered speaker receives a mono input from the aux 5 send,
and is used as a monitor for Chris (the keyboard player). Graphic EQs are connected to aux inserts 1-4
to help prevent feedback.
The club is driven by connecting a pair of Mackie HD1801 powered subwoofers and a pair of Mackie
HD1531 powered speakers to the main left and right outputs.
A laptop connects to the Mackie VLZ3 4•Bus mixer via the USB port, allowing the 2-channel main mix
to be recorded. Any music (iTunes
®
, mp3s, or other pre-recorded audio) may be played back from the
laptop, as well. These can enter as either a source for the monitor and phones, or any available
channels.
