[. . . ] 1­4 or 5­12 with connections to the L input only) these controls act as pan pots. On stereo channels (5­12) with stereo connections to L and R inputs, the PAN knob works like the balance control on your home stereo. PAN determines the fate of the MAIN MIX (1­2) and ALT 3­4 mix. With the PAN knob hard left, the signal will feed either MAIN OUT L (bus 1) or ALT OUTPUT L (bus 3), depending on the position of the ALT 3­4 switch. With the knob hard right, the signal feeds MAIN OUT R (bus 2) or ALT OUTPUT R (bus 4). CONSTANT LOUDNESS !! The 1202-VLZ PRO's PAN controls employ a design called "Constant Loudness. " It has nothing to do with living next to a freeway. As you turn the PAN knob from left to right (thereby causing the sound to move from the left to the center to the right), the sound will appear to remain at the same volume (or loudness). If you have a channel panned hard left (or right) and reading 0dB, it must dip down about 4dB on the left (or right) when panned center. To do otherwise (the way Brand X compact mixers do) would make the sound appear much louder when panned center. 3-BAND EQ The 1202-VLZ PRO has 3band equalization at carefully selected points -- LOW shelving at 80Hz, MID peaking at 2. 5kHz, and HI shelving at 12kHz. "Shelving" means that the circuitry boosts or cuts all frequencies past the specified frequency. For example, rotating the 1202-VLZ PRO's LOW EQ knob 15dB to the right boosts bass starting at 80Hz and continuing down to the lowest note you never heard. "Peaking" means that certain frequencies form a "hill" around the center frequency -- 2. 5kHz in the case of the MID EQ. 19 LOW EQ This control gives you up to 15dB boost or cut at 80Hz. The circuit is flat (no boost or cut) at the center detent position. This frequency represents the punch in bass drums, bass guitar, fat synth patches, and some really serious male singers. Used in conjunction with the LOW CUT switch , you can boost the LOW EQ without injecting a ton of subsonic debris into the mix. MID EQ 100Hz 1kHz 10kHz 20kHz more than about 3dB of EQ. If you need more than that, there's usually a better way to get it, such as placing a mic differently (or using a different kind of mic entirely). AUX SEND These tap a portion of each channel signal out to another source for parallel effects processing or stage monitoring. AUX send levels are controlled by the channel's AUX 1 and AUX 2 knobs and by the AUX 1 MASTER . These are more than just effects and monitor sends. They can be used to generate separate mixes for recording or "mix-minuses" for broadcast. By using AUX 1 in the PRE mode , these mix levels can be obtained independently of the channel's GAIN control. AUX 1 in post mode and AUX 2 are postLOW CUT, post-EQ and post-GAIN.
