How to Record PA Audio to Reel to Reel

Video Transcript

For Expert Village, this is KGB Studios. Ongoing our discussion on "How to Use a Reel to Reel Tape Deck". Today's session is, "What if you're in a live situation, and you wanted to record some live music going on"? We want to show you how to hook right off of a PA system, right into the reel to reel recorder. Stay with us. Alright, well, what we're going to need to find, of course, is on the back of the mixing board in the PA, or public address system, many of them have these "line outs" or "record outs" or "AUX outputs". You're going to have usually an RCA or a XLR type of connector for the outputs. You don't want to hassle the people, but, anyway, you plug down in, one to the right, one to the left, and that's all you do in a situation like that. You just plug them in with these brass connectors or whatever RCA connectors you've got. Okay, those are the RCA's going the other way on the other end, and we're going to have to hook them in to the back of the deck from the PA. So it basically from the back of the PA, into the back of the reel to reel. Make sure you seat them properly and deeply, with red to right, white to left.
