Vocal Mic Patching

  1. There are 3 mic cables coiled in the left shallow cupboard behind the band, labelled A, B & C. (I usually connect them left to right as I view the stage, but not necessary).
  2. These 3 cables plug into 3 of the first 5 inputs to the stage box. They are labelled on the stage-box and mixer with vocalists’ names. If the name is not there, chose any of the 5 not being used.
  3. Obviously, on the mixer use the channels you have patched into on the stage box and mute the others from the 5 Vox channels.
  4. If you need to rename a Vox channel (i.e. you have a singer who is not matching the label), the easiest way to do this is to run the XEdit program on the PC above the desk (there is a shortcut on the taskbar, button of screen). Once the program opens and the channel names are displayed, right-clicking on one of them allows you to rename the channel – press Enter button to save the change.
  5. Editing the name not only helps you know which fader to adjust but also the band who are using the monitor mixing app for their in-ear mix.
  6. If you have more than 3 vocalists, just patch their mic cable directly into the stage box – I don’t think we are likely to have more than 5, but the fallback then would be the stick radio mics!
