Controlling the Volume of the Teacher’s Speaking Voice (Microphone)
With the MIC button on, move the MIC slider up to the desired.
Controlling Teacher’s Instrument Volume Level
Use the built-in volume control on your instrument to raise or lower its volume in the
LC2 lab. It’s the only instrument volume control you need be concerned with.

Selecting Students
A BANK light will always be on no matter how many students are in the LC2 lab. The light will
show the bank of students buttons 1-8 at the bottom of the control unit. A fully expanded LC2
system will have a total of six banks (48 students). Each bank has eight students organized in the
following fashion:
BANK 1-8 BANK 9-16
BANK 17-24 BANK 25-32
BANK 33-40 BANK 41-48
Not all LC2s will have all banks available. It depends on the number of expansion cards installed
on the system. For LC2s with less than all expansion cards installed, the BANK select button will
only cycle through banks installed in the system. It then returns to the first bank and cycles
through again. Labs with no expansion cards will be locked on BANK 1-8.
Teachers of larger, expanded labs will find themselves jumping through banks quite frequently
since they can only view the status of eight students at a time. If this is seen as a limitation, we
recommend using the MUSIC LAB MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE (bundled with the LC2
CONTROLLER PLUS systems). Using a computer, the instructor can get a birds-eye-view of
the entire class and enable students quickly without scrolling through the different banks.
A handy table of numbers is printed on the control unit to help you quickly find the buttons of
students in the various BANKS. For example, button six enables students 6, 14, 22, 30, 38, and
46 depending on the currently selected BANK.

Example One
To listen to student 3, the BANK button would be set where the first light (1-8) is lit
and student button 3 would be on.
Example Two
To listen to student 10, press the BANK button until the second light is lit (signifying
BANK 9-16). Then, press button number two for student 10.

Interacting With a Single Student
This is essentially paying a visit to a student’s virtual practice room. Once in the correct bank, select
the student button and then turn on the MIC button. Think of turning on the MIC button as
opening the practice room door. Make sure thte MIC volume is up by using the MIC slider.
When you’re ready to leave this student’s practice room, press the lit student button to turn it off.
Listening to a Single Student
If you want to listen in on a student without talking to him, the equivalent of putting your ear to
the door, do not select the MIC button. You will know a student is selected when the light above
their number is on. When the MIC button light is not on, the student can not hear you speak.

In this example, you are interacting with student 5.
Playing a Single Student for the Entire Class
Select a student as if you were going to work with him, then turn on the BROADCAST
button. The selected student’s performance will be heard by entire class.
To exit this mode, effectively sending all students back to their virtual practice rooms,
turn BROADCAST off by touching the button again.
5
In this example, student 5 is playing for the class; you can make
comments with MIC on.
