HOW TO SET UP YOUR HOME STUDIO By John J. Volanski This article was written as additional instructional material to be used in conjunction with the book Sound Recording Advice. It is an updated and rewritten version of an article I originally wrote for Electronic Musician magazine (as mentioned on page 27 of the book). Seven different equipment connection schemes are presented in increasing order of complexity, plus an additional block diagram is presented to show typical connections to a generic analog mixer. For any terms or technical issues you don’t understand, please refer to the book for a more thorough explanation. Connection Scheme 1: Figure 1 shows 3 different connection schemes. They look almost laughably simple. The first one (Figure 1A) shows a line-level electrical musical instrument such as a synthesizer or sampler feeding into a 2-channel recorder. The 2-channel recorder could be a cassette deck, a reel-to-reel (R/R) recorder, a MiniDisc recorder, a PCM digital recorder, a VHS Hi-Fi VCR, or even a standalone CD-R or CD-RW recorder. Figure 1B shows how to transform the mic-level signal from a microphone into a line-level signal for a 2-channel recorder; a mic preamp of some sort must be used to amplify the mic-level signal (usually a couple of milliVolts) to a line-level amplitude (usually about 750 mV). This mic preamp can be a standalone unit (such as the Symetrix SX-202), or it can be incorporated into the channel strip of a mixer. Phantom power may or may not be required depending on the type of microphone used. Figure 1C shows how to connect a guitar to a line-level 2-channel recorder. In the diagram, I show the use of a DI (Direct Inject) Box. The DI Box will take the instrument level signal (in the low milliVolts range) and amplify it with the correct impedance to match the line-level equipment downstream. In place of a DI Box, you can substitute an effects stomp box or a
