This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure - voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. [. . . ] The filter characteristics and cut-off frequencies are the same as those in the mono channels. Fig. 2. 8: FX send/return controls STEREO AUX RETURN 802 only: the STEREO AUX RETURN connectors are used to bring the output of the external effects device (whose input is derived from the aux sends) back into the console. You can instead use these connectors as additional inputs, but any effects device will then have to be brought back into the console via a normal stereo channel. This does, however, give you the ability to use the channel EQ on the effects return signal if you wish. + When using a stereo channel as effects return path, the FX control of the relevant channel should generally be turned fully down to avoid undesirable feedback. If only the left connector is used, the AUX RETURN automatically operates in mono. Use the AUX RETURN control to determine how much of the effects signal is sent to the main mix. FX SEND The FX SEND output (does not apply for 502) should be connected to the input of an external effects unit. The post-fader FX signal you created using the input channel FX controls is sent to the effects unit via the FX SENDouput. Use the FX SEND control of the main section to adjust the overall send level (1002 and 1202 only). Fig. 2. 5: The equalizer of the stereo input channels A stereo EQ is highly preferable to two mono equalizers. when working on a stereo signal, as two separate EQ's will usually produce an unwanted discrepancy between the left and right channels. 2. 2. 3 FX sends, balance and level adjustment 2. 3. 2 Monitor and main mix Fig. 2. 6: The FX send/balance/level controls FX The FX sends of the stereo channels function similar to those of the mono channels. However, since the FX send buses are both mono, a mono sum is first taken from the stereo input before it is sent to the FX bus. BAL The BAL(ANCE) control determines the levels of left and right input signals relative to each other before both signals are then routed to the main stereo mix bus. If a channel is operated in mono via the left line input, this control has the same function as the PAN control used in the mono channels. LEVEL The LEVEL control determines the volume of the channel being sent to the main mix.

CD/TAPE TO CTRL ROOM (502: CD/TAPE TO PHONES) Fig. 2. 10: Monitor control and main mix fader PHONES/CONTROL ROOM The stereo PHONES jack (at the top of the connector panel) is where you connect headphones. The unbalanced CTRL ROOM OUT jacks carry the summed effects and main mix signals, as well as soloed channel signals.
