Mic Panels and configuration suggestions?
Posted: Sun Feb 11, 2007 6:36 am
Hello,
We are building a commercial studio in Baltimore, MD. We're wondering about mic panels and wiring.
How many and what configurations, etc...
Our space is in a commercial row house. IE. Long and skinny.
Here is a picture:
So basically the first room (from left to right) will be a lounge. Perhaps double as an iso booth. The next room is the actual studio. The room on the right is the control room. And then a bathroom, but it's not actually in the drawing.
Here is what we were thinking:
Lounge: 12 input mic panel (parallel to 20-32)
Studio: 2x16 input mic panel (1-16 on one panel and 17-32 on another panel) - 4 TRS 1/4" sends for cue mix
Control Room: 4 input mic panel with 2 TRS 1/4" sends for cue mix (parallel to 16-19)
Bath room (next to control but not in picture): 4 input mic panel with 2 TRS 1/4" sends for cue mix (parallel to 12-15)
They will all terminate to a 32 channel XLR panel with 4 TRS 1/4" in the control room by the console.
Does this sound about right? Any suggestions about paralleling the lines? Does that make sense?
I am new to this and any insight would be greatly appreciated.

ps. does anyone have a recommendation for a contractor to install the wiring for this in Baltimore?
