Please note: the FX pad is activated post fader. If the gain knob of the channel is turned all the way down so
that no sound is sent to the Master signal, no signal will be sent to the effects section either.
Pan: the Pan knob makes it possible to direct the mono channel's output signal towards the left or right side.
This means you could direct the sound towards the left side for a vocalist standing on the left side of the
stage, for instance. Experiment with this feature to find the best balance.
PFL: PFL stands for ‘pre-fader listening’. When the PFL knob is pressed, the PFL LED
indicator will light up to indicate that the sound level is no longer affected by the volume
fader. This lets you check how the input signal sounds before you determine the end level
with the fader.
PEAK: the PEAK LED indicator shows you when the dynamic range of the input signal
has been exceeded. This can have unpleasant consequences for the sound, so it's
important to set the gain at an appropriate level in order to prevent this from happening.
See the Gain section for more information.
Level fader: once the gain and EQ settings have been optimised, the level fader can be
used to adjust the signal. When the fader is set to 0 dB, the sound level is determined by
the setting of the gain knob. It's not recommended to boost the signal by more than 0 dB
as this can have negative consequences for the sound. The gain knob lets you get the full
dynamic potential out of the input signal and the faders allow you to determine a good
level for the final mix.
Stereo channels
A stereo channel on a mixer is designed to handle a stereo signal that consists of
individual left and right sides that are sent to separate left and right master channels. This
is very different from a mono signal that sends the same centralised signal to both sides
unless the pan knob is used to adjust the balance.
A stereo channel doesn't have a gain control because the input signal is already optimised
or can be optimised on the source device like the volume control on a keyboard, for
instance.
Stereo in: stereo sources can be plugged in via the RCA stereo inputs and normally, no
further adjustments need to be made. These connectors can be used for a wide variety of
line signals including those from smartphones, laptops, tablets, MP3 players and similar
devices.
This input has unbalanced stereo RCA connectors.
Line in: the stereo channels have two jack inputs that can be used for balanced or
unbalanced signals depending on the signal source. The signal will only be balanced if
both devices have balanced connectors and the cables used support signals with +, - and
GND (ground/earth). A balanced audio signal is more stable because it's less susceptible
to external influences that can cause unwanted interference. Over short distances, an
unbalanced signal doesn't normally suffer from problems either.
The Line in connectors are marked L and R for left and right. For a mono signal, the left
connector needs to be used, but you should consider using a mono channel instead.
Pad: when the Pad button is activated, the line input signal will be attenuated by 10 dB.
This can be handy for input signals that are too loud.
Line/USB switch: this button lets you set the input signal on the mixer's last stereo channel to LINE (the
jack line in socket) or MEDIA (the digital media player on some models). On the 1202FX-MP, that's channel
11/12 and on the 1002FX-MP, it's channel 9/10.
