That makes more sense. I have had to do some setups when I only had 5 minutes and no test runs, and as you would expect they were very rough. I've since gotten to know the board very well and it'd be easier to do a fast setup now. It's a Mackie SR24*4 VLZ pro, late 1990s build. It takes mono phono, rca and xlr; has preamps, phantom power source, 8 way EQ and is relatively easy to understand. I assume most of the microphones will be xlr to mono phono, but if they all use xlr to xlr I have an 18 channel stage extension too.
