- Full console model, variant and documentation, with proposed inputs, outputs and peripherals.
- Required sources, connections, patch, destinations and mixes, with the controls and operation to be agreed for the system.
Match the console to the event signals
Gather full identification and documentation for the proposed unit. Record each signal’s sources, connections and destinations to review inputs, outputs and mixes for the actual variant; the MG166 name alone does not confirm channel count, functions or connections.

|---|---|---|
| Sources and connections | Proposed sources, connections, signal identification and patch | Match each signal to the documented inputs and outputs |
| Mixes and monitoring | Required house, stage, recording or remote-participant destinations | Review mixes and routing with the identified configuration |
