Patchbay Wiring - Console Patchbay Wiring - Console I/O I/O

Audio from mics and instruments go into the channel strip’s mic inputs

Using the subgroups or DO’s, the console sends the mic/line inputs to the multi-track

Recorded tracks return to the console for monitoring and mixing

The final mix (main L/R) is sent to the two-track and recorded. Returns from the two-track connect to center section inputs.

Center Section outputs connect to control room monitors (amps) and cue system.
