Audio crews read a stage plot backwards, from the console out to the stage. The Wrls Mic Round icon marks an open channel and the stand that has to be under it, so that read finishes without a phone call.
Position it, scale it, duplicate it for a second player, and the input list follows along without a rebuild.
A plot earns its keep by settling positions before anyone opens a case. Vocal mics sit downstage on the performer line. Choir and overhead mics fly above and behind the group they cover, angled down and away from the nearest wedge. Anything unusual about the position belongs in the plot notes, so the drawing carries its own explanation.
Worth confirming in the advance. Mark wireless separately from wired. Frequency coordination starts from that count, and so does the battery order.
Wrls Mic Round produces one channel on the input list, defaulting to a Dynamic input, a boom stand and phantom power off. It sorts at position 9 in the drums first, vocals last channel order that front of house engineers expect. Change any of it per plot; the default just means you rarely have to.
Because the input list is generated rather than typed, it exports straight to console: X32 and M32 scene files, Wing scenes, and CSV channel names for the Allen and Heath, DiGiCo, and Yamaha families. See the console guides.
