[. . . ] 7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain and moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. [. . . ] A stereo equalizer is always preferable to two mono equalizers if frequency correction of a stereo signal is needed. There is often a discrepancy between the settings of the left and the right channels when using separate equalizers. 2. 7: Aux send connectors AUX SEND 1 If you use aux send 1 pre-fader, you would usually connect the AUX SEND 1 connector to monitors via a power amp (or an active monitor system). If you use aux send 1 post-fader, proceed as described under aux send 2. AUX SEND 2 The AUX SEND 2 connector outputs the signal you picked up from the individual channels using the FX control. You can connect this to the input of an effects device in order to process the FX bus signal. Once an effects mix is created, the processed signal can then be routed from the effects device output back into the STEREO AUX RETURN connectors. 2. 2. 3 Aux sends stereo channels In principle, the aux sends of the stereo channels function in just the same way as those of the mono channels. As aux send paths are always mono, the signal on a stereo channel is first summed to mono before it reaches the aux bus. 2. 2. 4 Routing switch, solo and channel fader BAL The function of the BAL(ANCE) control corresponds to the PAN control in the mono channels. The balance control determines the relative proportion between the left and right input signals before both signals are routed to the main stereo mix bus. The MUTE/ALT 3-4 switch, the MUTE-LED, the CLIP-LED, the SOLO switch and the channel fader function in the same way as the mono channels. 2. 3. 3 Stereo aux return connectors 2. 3 Connector panel and main section Whereas it was useful to trace the signal flow from top to bottom in order to gain an understanding of the channel strips, we now look at the mixing console from left to right. The signals are, so to speak, collected from the same point on each of the channel strips and then routed to the main section all together. Fig. 2. 11: Control room/phones section, level meter CD/TAPE The TAPE switch routes the signal from the TAPE IN connectors to the level meter, the CONTROL ROOM OUT outputs and the PHONES connectorthis is a simple way to check recorded signals via monitor speakers or headphones. ALT 3-4 Similarly, the ALT 3-4 switch routes the signal from the Alt 3-4 bus to the same path for monitoring purposes. MAIN MIX The MAIN MIX switch sends the main mix signal to the abovementioned outputs and to the level meter. PHONES/CTRL R(oom) Use this control to set control room output level and headphones volume respectively. CD/TAPE TO MAIN When the CD/TAPE TO MAIN switch is depressed, the 2track input is routed to the main mix and thus serves as an additional input for tape machines. You can also connect MIDI instruments or other signal sources here that do not require any further processing. At the same time, this switch disables the main mix to tape output link. POWER The blue POWER LED indicates that the device is switched on. 8 2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTORS XENYX 1204/1202FX +48 V The red +48 V LED lights up when the phantom power supply is switched on. The phantom power supply is necessary for condenser microphones and is activated using the switch on the rear of the device. MAIN SOLO (1202FX only) The MAIN SOLO LED lights up as soon as a channel or aux send solo switch is pressed.
