Mixer to Share Presets

Classic

L1 Model I

Using a Mixer to allow more than two inputs to use presets.

Assumptions

• You require more two inputs requiring presets.
• Two or more of those inputs are similar, for example: microphones that are of the same make and model.
• You have a stereo mixer or one that has two distinct busses.

General Principles

• Pool your similar inputs to one side of the mixer.
• Take the pooled output (one side of the mixer) to Power Stand Channel 1 and use a Preset that is appropriate for the input.

• Pool your similar inputs to the other side of the mixer. Sometimes the similarity is that these inputs do not share a common Preset - so you will use Preset 00.
• Take the pooled output (the other side of the mixer) to Power Stand Channel 2 and use a Preset that is appropriate for the input, or Preset 00.

Example 2 Vocals 2 Guitars

You have two vocal microphones - Shure SM 58 - Recommended Preset #14 You have two similar Acoustic Guitars with pickups - Recommended Preset #40
