Subject: Mandala for Live Performance
Hi,

I'm just researching what i need to get started besides the obvious of
purchasing the Mandala. The Mandala User Manual shows various
configurations to connect the mandala to laptop, then use headphones
to listen, etc.

I'm curious about the Firewire Audio Interface. I've looked at a
couple of manufacturers (M-Audio, Lexicon Pro, etc) and it seems they
are used mostly for recording. Ideally i would like to plug the
Mandala into my laptop and have my laptop output to either a PA
system, amp or really good speakers.

Am i on the right path with the Audio Interface? or do i need a pre-
amp? or is all i need a really good external sound card?

I only had an hour to look around on the internet. If anyone can point
me towards some good articles or has some personal experience with
this type of setup that would be great. This is my first step into the
electronic world, so it's all new to me.

Many thanks in advance.
Dana

Hello Dana,
You are on the right track with looking for an audio interface.
I use an M-Audio FW 4/10 with a Mac Book Pro, and 3 Mandala Drums.
I chose FW, becuase of the bandwidth, as well, I'm using the usb
ports, plus a PCI express card for the USB Drums.
There are a lot of options out there so figure out what it is you
need, and take it from there.

Yours,

Koorosh

Koorosh,

Thanks for the reply. Just want to see what other people are using. I
will look into a PCI card as well for the USB drum.
