EQ: the stereochannels all have a 2-band EQ that gives you control over the balance between the low and
high frequencies. At 80 Hz or 12 kHz, sounds can be dampened or boosted by -15 or +15 dB. This can be
handy for accentuating the high tones in vocals, for instance.
Aux: with the Aux knob, you can determine how much of the input signal is sent to the Aux Send output
which is separately adjustable. With the PRE/POST button, you can determine whether the signal is sent to
the Aux Send output before (pre) or after (post) the fader.
FX: see the mono channel section for more information. For the stereo channels, the FX work the same way,
but left and right signals are sent to the effects processor or external equipment. Bear in mind that the effects
signal will become mono if one of the chains in the circuit is switched to mono.
Please note that the FX pad is activated post fader. That means if the Level fader on the channel is turned all
the way down so that no sound reaches the Master signal, no signal will reach the effects section either.
Balance knob: the balance knob on the stereo channels is similar to the Pan knob on the mono channels,
but it determines the balance between the left and right signals rather than the position of the mono signal. If
the knob is turned towards the left, the right signal will be dampened appropriately and vice versa.
PFL: see the mono channel section for more information.
Level fader: see the mono channel section for more information.
Digital media player
The MixDesk-MP models have a digital media player with a
display. Sound can be played via a USB stick, an SD card or
through Bluetooth
®
and everything can be controlled using the
buttons underneath the display. The USB/SD/ Bluetooth button
allows you to switch between the different sound sources. The
media player is ideal for playing background music, for
instance.
The signal from the media player is sent out through the last stereo channel on the mixer (11/12 for 1202FX-
MP, 9/10 for 1002FX-MP).
Signal outputs
There are different ways to send the mixed signals from the MixDesk mixers to
recording equipment, speakers or external effects, for instance, that can then be
returned to the mixer again.
Phones/CR out: the Phones and Control Room output use the same signal.
This is actually the same as the master signal before it reaches the master
fader. Changing the level of the master signal will not affect the level of the
Phones or Control Room signal, therefore. This can be adjusted using the CR &
Phones volume knob.
This setup can be handy for situations like the following:
- (internet) radio broadcasting where the Main Out signal is sent to speakers in the room and the Control
Room signal is sent to recording equipment, for instance.
- recording live performances where the Control Room output is sent to recording equipment and the Main
Out signal needs to be adjusted before it reaches the audience.
There are separate left and right Control Room connectors that support balanced signals when TRS jacks
are used. The headphone socket also accepts a TRS jack, but if your headphones have a mini jack
connector, you can always use a mini jack to jack adapter plug (not included).
