I got thinking today about the possibilites of what I could set up in my FUTURE dorm room and i came up with a basica plan that would provide some pretty good flexibility but I know I'm missing some major aspects. Basically it goes as follows:
There are 5 inputs that will be sent to what I envision as a crude "8/4.1" "coverage" system. each input can be sent to Person 1's speakers (Right side), Person 2's speakers (Left side) or Both. The 5 inputs consist of 2 Computers that hook up to either Headphones or the "Main mix", a radio and two Auxiliary Devices.
This is where my basic theater sound system knowlege runs dry...
I work with 5 wonderful QSC amps that power highs, lows, downfills, delays and monitors so I have a vague understanding of the division of sound but I really can't figure out how I could set up a system, basically what seems to be just simply a series of switches to route the sound to where I want it to be.
Like for example I can work on my computer and have the sound going only to my headphones so the audio wouldn't even go to an amp/mixer. When my roomate leaves I would be able to send the Computer output to all 8 speakers, or just my 4 speakers.
It's a weird neat little idea I had. Just thought I'd share and see if I could get some more ideas about an overcomplicated sound system!
RFL = Right (side), Front, Left (channel)
LRR = Left (side), Rear, Right (channel)
so on and so forth...
