OUTPUT 2 — Another output patching example might be found in a typical theatre setup. Here, the main
L/R would be the PA and all six matrix outputs will be dialed in, as well, sending signal to the theatre’s lobby,
mezzanine, bathrooms, etc. (all with unique settings).
In a case like this, you might consider setting matrix 1-6 [source] to XLRs 1-6 [destination] and main L/R
[source] to XLRs 13-14 [destination]. Before setup, I cleared the output’s I/O patching...and there are still
several outputs available for patching!
If you need more information regarding the matrix, please refer to pages 72-77.
OUTPUT 3 — You didn’t ask for it, but we’re going to give it to you...a third example of output I/O patch
routing! Let’s say that a ska band is on tour. Ask anyone who’s run sound for ska bands, and they’ll probably
complain that there are A LOT of people in the band – as in a lot a lot – and all XLR outputs are already ac-
counted for and patched in.
Let’s also say that this ska band is playing a city where a former member now lives. The band invites this
former member up on stage to join them on a song or two, but where can they be patched in? Easy! Aux
sends 13-14 [source] may be sent to monitor L/R [destination]; that’s right, the 1/4" jacks may be utilized for
our guest artist!
