This system is useful if you are short on space, or you are in love with a really nice pair of loudspeakers
and want to share them in a home theater and home studio.
A condenser microphone is connected to the mic input of channel 1, with phantom power engaged.
The line-level output from a guitar amplifier modeler feeds the line input of channel 2. A stereo synth is
connected to channels 3 and 4. A laptop computer running the DAW of your choice is connected to the
tape output, so you can record channels 1, 2, 3, and 4.
The stereo line-level audio output from a DVD player is connected to channels 5 and 6, and a cable
box's audio output is connected to channels 7 and 8. The video output from the cable box and DVD
player connect directly to the TV monitor.
An external effects processor is connected to the aux send (in post mode) and its output connects
to the 802VLZ4 stereo return inputs.
A pair of MR8mk3 powered studio monitors is connected to the control room outputs. A pair of
headphones is connected to the headphones output.
To use the home studio, sing and play your guitar, and record using the DAW of your choice, or listen
through the nice speakers and headphones. Turn down channel 5/6 and 7/8 levels if you are not using
the home theater.
To use the home theater, turn down channel 1-4's level knobs. Select a program using the cable
box, and set the channel 7-8 level knob to unity. Use the control room knob to adjust the level in your
loudspeakers. If you play a DVD, turn up the channel 5/6 level control to unity. Use the TV to select
which video source you want to see.
