I am trying to install a microphone input on the SMART MOD VI. We used to have it installed to where we could press "Stereo A" and the mic worked. somehow this cable was pulled from the back of the unit and I have no clue where to put these wires. The manual seems too vague and too technical for me to understand. Can anyone help?

There is no mic input if it used to work on stereo a it had to have been connected to the projector 2 cell input but there would also had to have been a switch to do the changeover

You're a lifesaver! There is a toggle switch on the side of the rack. I connected the mic output to the soundhead "2" inputs and it works! I thought these were soley for a two projector setup. Thanks a million, I have an event tonight with a guest speaker and you have saved me from renting a portable amp and speaker.

That's going to sound weird, though, since the processor would be doing its fake Dolby decoding on the microphone signal. Try the mono format instead.
