Its small dimensions means that the FCA202, in combination
with a laptop computer, provides the ideal solution for a
mobile recording studio. All that you need is a small mixing
console or two microphone preamplifiers, so that you can
connect microphones. Given its size, the MINIMIC MIC800
is especially suitable for this type of application. Figure 4,2
shows a setup that includes a laptop computer, FCA202,
and two MINIMIC MIC800 microphone preamplifiers.
Connect the two MINIMIC MIC800 units to the inputs [9] of
the FCA202. With two active loudspeakers connected to the
outputs [8] of the FCA202, you can control your recording
and via the -output [1] provide a musician with a
playback signal. If you don’t use a pair of loudspeakers,
you can use headphones to listen to your mix in case you
don´t have to provide a musician with a monitor signal.
A setup that includes a laptop computer, an FCA202,
headphones, and a sequencer, providesia compact and
mobile music production environment.
Audio connections5.
There are various ways to integrate the FCA202 into your

connecting cables, and these will be discussed in the
following section.
Cabling with jack cables5.1
To operate the FCA202 in series with other equipment,
you will need standard commercial ¼" jack cables,
often referred to as instrument cables or patch cables.
These cables have a ¼" TS jack plug at each end. Connect the
inputs of the equipment with the corresponding outputs of
each of the other devices.
