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

</tr></table> </noinclude>

=== Assumptions ===

== Assumptions ==

* You ~~require~~ more two inputs requiring presets.

* You have more than 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 ===

== General Principles ==

* Pool ~~your~~ similar inputs to one side of the mixer.

For the following discussion, a "side" of the mixer is either Left or Right, or it could be a "buss" or "alt" channel routing.

* Pool one group of 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.

* Pool another group of 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 ===

== Examples ==

=== 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

===== Microphones =====

# Run both microphones to the mixer.

# On the input strips for the microphones all the way to the LEFT

# On the input strips for the microphones pan all the way to the LEFT

# Run the Mixer LEFT output to the Power Stand Channel 1

# Set the preset to #14

===== Guitars =====

# Run both Guitars to the mixer.

# On the input strips for the Guitars all the way to the RIGHT

# On the input strips for the Guitars pan all the way to the RIGHT

# Run the Mixer RIGHT output to the Power Stand Channel 2

# Set the preset to #40

=== ~~Example: 3~~ Vocals, 1 Guitar, 1 Electric Bass ===

=== Vocals, 1 Guitar, 1 Electric Bass ===

You have three vocal microphones - Audix OM5 - Recommended Preset #05

You have an Acoustic Guitars and an Electric Bass. There is no preset appropriate for both, so you will share Preset #00

You have an Acoustic Guitars and an Electric Bass through a processor. There is no preset appropriate for both, so you will share Preset #00

===== Microphones =====

# Run all three microphones to the mixer.

# On the input strips for the microphones all the way to the LEFT

# On the input strips for the microphones pan all the way to the LEFT

# Run the Mixer LEFT output to the Power Stand Channel 1

# Set the preset to #05

===== Guitar and Electric Bass =====

# Run the Guitar and Bass to the mixer.

# On the input strips for the Guitar and Bass all the way to the RIGHT

# On the input strips for the Guitar and Bass pan all the way to the RIGHT

# Run the Mixer RIGHT output to the Power Stand Channel 2

# Set the preset to #00

=== 4 Microphones, 2 different Presets ===

The same principles apply if you want to group inputs on mixer and then send those groups to a {{T1}}.
