Onyx 1220i
Post-Production System
This diagram shows a voice-over microphone connected to the channel 1 mic input, a video deck's au-
dio outputs connected to channels 5/6, with its audio inputs receiving the main mix from the 1/4" main
outputs. A synthesizer is connected to channel 7/8, and an electronic drum kit is connected to channel
11/12.
An effects processor and a sampler each receive a mono input from an aux send (
post-fader
), and
their stereo outputs connect to the respective stereo return inputs. A keyboard controller is attached to the
sampler. Headphones are used to monitor all levels, using a headphone amp with multiple headphones,
including one in the voice-over booth.
A pair of Mackie HR824mkII powered reference monitors are connected to the left and right control
room outputs for careful and accurate monitoring in the control room.
A desktop Mac or PC is connected to a FireWire port, allowing the 2-channel main mix to be recorded
and two channels to be played back. Two cinema screens are connected to the desktop, one displaying
audio and the second for video. A RAID rack is attached to the computer for mass storage. A recorder is
connected to the XLR main outs, and utilized as the master recorder.
