    Hey all,

    I searched for a thread on this to no avail, some time in the last year or two someone posted a setup for this, which I used with great luck, but last month I had to move the studio, and in a hasty move day just ripped everything out and didn’t write it down. (My bad)

    I got it hooked up so that it works, but there are a couple of XLR cables that used to be plugged in but now are not. It just ain’t the same. Does the original poster remember this? Anybody else got a diagram they can share?

    Thanks in advance…

    WE have a UVW, Kona LH and a 1642, and I can suggest a way to connect up your gear based on my expereince:

    Connect the UVW out 1 and 2 to the mixer Input 1 and 2

    Leave Mixer in 3 and 4 open for microphones

    Connect the Kona Analog Out 1 and 2 to mixer inputs 5 and 6, you may need adapters to go from XLR to TipRingSleeve quarter inch.

    Connect the Mixer OUT 1 and 2 to a pair of y cords or 1×2 spliters, then the Kona LH analog input, and the UVW input

    Make sure the UVW is set so it goes into EE ONLY in record.
    Menu > Operational Function > Auto EE Select: then set all 4 choices to PB

    When Capturing:

    Use the Input 1 and 2 Faders to set your level while capturing, Keep Mixer inputs 5 and 6 calibrated to tone and set to Alt 3/4, and keep your control room monitors set to listen to Alt 3/4.

    When Mastering to Tape:

    Switch inputs 1 and 2 (UVW) to ALT 3/4. Switch inputs 5 adn 6 (KonaLH) to MAIN. Keep your control room monitors set to listen to Alt 3/4.

    hope this helps. I have a couple of different layouts if this doesnt work for you
