[. . . ] Solo is also the key player in the Level Setting Procedure . Your 1402-VLZ PRO has "Dual-Mode Solo. " A switch in the master section determines 18 and PHONES outputs. If you want the ALT 3­4 signals to go back into the MAIN MIX, engage the ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX switch , and the CTL ROOM/SUBMIX fader becomes the one fader to control the levels of all channels assigned to ALT 3­4. Another way to do the same thing is to assign the channels to the ALT 3­4 mix, then patch out of the ALT OUT LEFT and RIGHT back into an unused stereo channel (7­8, 9­10 or 11­12 or 13­14). If that's your choice, don't ever engage the MUTE/ALT 3­4 switch on that stereo channel, or you'll have every dog in the neighborhood howling at your feedback loop. Another benefit of the ALT 3­4 feature is that it can act as a "AFL" (After Fader Listen): just engage a channel's MUTE/ALT 3­4 switch and the ALT 3­4 switch in the SOURCE matrix and you'll get that channel, all by itself, in the CONTROL ROOM and PHONES. MUTE/ALT 3­4 is one of those controls that can bewilder newcomers, so take your time and play around with it. Once you've got it down, you'll probably think of a hundred uses for it! 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 1402-VLZ PRO has 3-band 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 1402-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. 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. +15 This frequency represents the +10 punch in bass drums, bass guitar, +5 fat synth patches, and some really 0 serious male singers. ­5 Used in conjunction with the ­10 LOW CUT switch , you can ­15 100Hz boost the LOW EQ without inject- 20Hz EQ Low ing a ton of subsonic debris into +15 the mix. +10 MID EQ Short for "midrange, " this knob provides 12dB of boost or cut, centered at 2. 5kHz, also flat at the center detent. Midrange EQ is often thought of as the most dynamic, because the frequencies that define any particular sound are almost always found in this range. You can create many interesting and useful EQ changes by turning this knob down as well as up. HI EQ +5 PAN PAN adjusts the amount of channel signal sent to the left versus the right outputs. 1­6 or 7­14 with connections to the LEFT input only) these controls act as pan pots. On stereo channels (7­14) with stereo connections to LEFT and RIGHT inputs, the pan knob works like the balance control on your home stereo.
