What's inside SPK Tech Team Wiki

  1. Overview and use cases for the ZED-428 analog sound board

    The ZED-428 is an analog sound board featuring 24 mic/instrument cable inputs. It is primarily used for rare events requiring a high number of inputs (exceeding the capacity of the wireless board) or as a backup when other boards are malfunctioning. It is stored in the corner storage cubby.
  2. Overview of the Allen & Heath ZED-10FX Analog Sound Board

    The ZED-10FX is an analog sound board used for events requiring basic audio mixing with a limited number of inputs, such as plays, small performances, and pep rallies. It supports a few microphones, Bluetooth inputs, or instruments. The board features 4 mic/instrument cable inputs and 2 stereo line inputs.
  3. Use Ethernet to connect network devices

    Ethernet is used to physically connect devices such as computers, routers, and switches within a local network to enable communication and data transfer. For example, an Ethernet cable can be used to connect an X18 Wireless Board (Digital Mixer) to a router, allowing it to be controlled by other network devices like an iPad.
  4. Safety guidelines for equipment use

    Equipment can be damaged or cause injuries if used improperly. If you are unsure about the operation of any equipment, you must consult with a knowledgeable person before proceeding.
  5. Set up and connect to the Behringer X18 wireless sound board
