User manual BEHRINGER 1202FX

[. . . ] 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. 8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. [. . . ] CLIP-LED The CLIP LED lights up when the input signal is driven too high. In this case, turn down the TRIM control and, if necessary, check the setting of the channel EQ. 6 2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTORS XENYX 1204/1202FX SOLO The SOLO switch (1202FX only) is used to route the channel signal to the solo bus (Solo In Place) or to the PFL bus (Pre Fader Listen). This enables you to monitor a channel signal without affecting the main output signal. The signal you hear is sourced either before (PFL, mono) or after (solo, stereo) both the pan control and the channel fader (see chapter 2. 3. 6 Level meters and monitoring). The channel fader determines the level of the channel signal in the main mix (or submix). 2. 3. 1 Aux sends 1 and 2 Fig. 2. 6: AUX SEND controls of the main section A channel signal is routed to aux send bus 1 if the AUX 1 control is turned up on the corresponding channel. AUX SEND 1 (MON) The AUX SEND control MON acts as master control for aux send 1 and determines the level of the summed signal. AUX SEND 2 (FX) Similarly, the FX control (AUX SEND 2) determines the level for aux send 2. SOLO You can use the SOLO switch (1202FX only) to separately monitor the aux sends via the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES outputs and check these with the level meters. 2. 2 Stereo channels 2. 2. 1 Channel inputs Fig. 2. 5: Stereo channel inputs and LEVEL switch Each stereo channel has two balanced line level inputs on 1/4" connectors for left and right channels. CD/TAPE OUTPUT These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT and carry the main mix signal (unbalanced). The final output level can be adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader. In this instance, the FX control of the channel being used as an effects return should be turned fully counterclockwise, otherwise feedback problems could occur!If you wish to use the internal effects processor, no connectors should be plugged into STEREO AUX RETURN 2. 2. 3. 4 Stereo aux return + Fig. 2. 9: Stereo aux return controls STEREO AUX RETURN 1 STEREO AUX RETURN 1 is a stereo control which determines the level of the signal in the main mix. If STEREO AUX RETURN 1 is used as effects return, you can add the effects signal to any dry channel signal. If you connect a compressor or a noise gate after the 2-track output, the faders will probably not be able to create a satisfactory fade-out effect. 2. 3. 6 Level meter and monitoring + In this instance, the effects device should be set at 100% effect. STEREO AUX RETURN MON The STEREO AUX RETURN MON control has a special function: it can be used to add an effect to a monitor mix. For example: Monitor mix with effect In this instance, the effects device should be set up as follows: AUX SEND 2 is connected to the L/Mono input of your effects device, while its outputs are connected to STEREO AUX RETURN 1. The AUX SEND 1 master control determines the volume of the monitor mix. You can now use the STEREO AUX RETURN MON control to adjust the level of the effects signal routed to the monitor mix. You can easily use the headphones distribution amplifier BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO HA4600/HA4700/HA8000 to provide you with four (or eight with the HA8000) stereo headphone mixes for your studio. STEREO AUX RETURN 2 (FX) The STEREO AUX RETURN 2 control determines the level of signals fed into the AUX RETURN 2 connectors which are routed to the main mix. MAIN MIX/ALT 3-4 The MAIN MIX/ALT 3-4 switch routes the signal connected to STEREO AUX RETURN 2 to either main mix (not pressed) or submix (Alt 3-4, pressed).
