22 F-CONTROL AUDIO FCA202 User Manual
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 preampliers, 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 preampliers.
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, provides a compact and mobile
music production environment.
5. Audio Connections
There are various ways to integrate the FCA202 into your

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
