NEVER EVER ADJUST THE VOLUME CONTROLS OR SETTINGS ON THE BACK OF THE AMPLIFERS.

Volume Levels on the Amplifiers

Control Booth Amp:

Channels 1 & 2 should be at maximum output. You may adjust the level of volume on the mixer.

Paging/Backstage Amp:

While you can make fine adjustments to the master volume output it should NOT be turned past the halfway point under any circumstances. If you need to make fine adjustments to the built in mixer on the amp you may do so. The bass & treble knob, and other switches on the amp should NOT BE ADJUSTED.

Speakers


Stage Monitors:

We have two JBL JRX125s angled floor monitor speakers. These can connect to any speak-on connection in the auditorium that you need, as long as they are patched in in the control booth. These stage monitors have a variety of use cases, the most common being playing back music or tracks during a theater production

Control Room Speakers:

Currently these will only output what ever is going to the two front of house speakers or whatever the 'Cue' is routed to. Use the 'D' knob on the TF5 to adjust the volume.

Backstage Paging Speakers:

The backstage paging speakers are explained on another page of this website.






WARNING: NEVER EVER MOVE OR RE-PATCH SPEKAER CONNECTIONS ON THE SPAKER PATCH PANEL WITHOUT SHUTTING DOWN ALL OF THE AMPLIFERS FIRST.

Although, students should never ever touch the speaker patch panel.

Speaker Patch Panel

At the bottom of rack 1 (control room left) is a custom made patch panel which controls the routing of the speakers in the auditorium from amps to speakers. In most cases this should be set the way it is shown on screen, however sometimes modifications must be made such as in the event of re-locating monitor speakers. 

Portable Speakers:
The Left and Right Channel of the portable speakers amps (For the Catwalk/surround speakers feed into the two Channel A and B sockets allowing for you to connect two additional portable speakers. 

A Note on the Front of House & Control Room Speaker Connections:

These are the four cables that come out from inside the rack. This is because of the modification that allowed for these speakers to be installed. They are labeled accordingly.
