17 F-CONTROL AUDIO FCA202 User Manual
To provide a professional recording interface between mixing
console and computer, you can use the FCA202 in combination
with a suitable mixing console that includes subgroup outputs.
This type of setup allows you to record several signals in the
computer at the same time, to simultaneously play back
several takes or playbacks which have been recorded, and to
listen to the whole recording via loudspeakers or headphones.
Figure 4.1 shows one possible setup with an XENYX 1204FX
mixing console.
Connect the outputs of the subgroup (in this case ALT 3-4
OUT) with the inputs of the FCA202 (9). You can choose to
connect the outputs (8) of the interface either to the TAPE
INPUT sockets or to a stereo channel output (e.g. LINE 7/8).
Connect your loudspeakers to the CONTROL ROOM outputs of the
mixing console. You can connect control headphones to the
socket (1) of the FCA202 or to the headphones output of your
mixing console.
By routing each channel that you want to record through the
ALT 3-4 subgroup, you can now use the input channels of the
mixing console to record different signals (e.g. microphone,
guitar, sound module etc.) in the computer. If you connect
the OUT sockets of the FCA202 to channel inputs 7/8
(not via TAPE INPUT), make sure that the signal is not switched
to the subgroup but instead to the main output of your mixer
(MUTE key on the XENYX 1204FX in channel 7/8 not pressed).
Otherwise feedback can occur. Make sure that you use the
SOURCE section on the mixing console to select the correct
monitoring paths (ALT 3-4 + MAIN MIX or ALT 3-4 + TAPE).
If you lead the FCA202 back via a channel input
(not TAPE INPUT), you can also use the Aux channel to set up
a monitor mix for live musicians. To do this, use the Aux Send
(e.g. Aux 1) in this channel input. If the musicians want to
hear themselves as well as the playback or previous recording
takes, use the Aux Sends in the recording channels to mix in the
recording signals with the monitor mix.
