By using the BALANCE control, you can

The MUTE switch is used to interrupt the signal path, thus muting the 

respective channel. When pressed (signal muted) the switch is lit red.
When the MUTE switch is not depressed, the red light functions as CLIP 

display, indicating when the input signal level is too high (>+17 dBu). 

To avoid distortion, please reduce the signal level using the LEVEL control   

(4)

  in case the CLIP indicator is frequently or permanently lit.

(4) 

To increase or reduce the input signal level, use the LEVEL control 

(increase up to +15 dB, reduce all the way down to -∞).
Similarly, use the LEVEL controls of the channel sections to regulate the 

channel’s signal level present in the main mix.

(5) 

Use the OPERATING LEVEL switch located on the rear of your RX1602 

to individually adjust each channel to the output signal level of your 

equipment. When the switch is depressed (-10 dBV), the inputs are 

more sensitive.

(6) 

These are the inputs of the channel sections on balanced 1/4" TRS connectors. 

Of course, you can connect mono jacks (unbalanced operation). To use a 

channel for a mono signal, please connect the signal source to the left input.

Use the MON/FX SEND control to set the signal level of those signals 

that are routed to the MON OUT SEND connector  

(14)

  for monitoring or 

effects applications.

The left signal portion of the mix created using the LEVEL and BALANCE 

controls of each channel is set using the MAIN LEFT control.
The right signal portion of the mix is correspondingly adjusted using 

the MAIN RIGHT control. Amplification of up to +15 dB is possible 

on both controls.

(9) 

You can easily get a readout of both channels by observing the 

highly acurate 7-digit level meters labeled LEFT OUTPUT LEVEL 

and RIGHT OUTPUT LEVEL.

Gain setting:
To correctly set the input gain of a channel, please press the MUTE switch

  of the remaining channels.

When recording with digital multi-channel recorders, the peak meter on the 

recorder should not reach over 0 dB. This is because unlike with digital recordings, 

even the smallest amount of distortion can lead to unpleasant-sounding 

end result.
With analog recorders, the VU meters of the recording device should read roughly 

up to +3 dB in case of low-frequency signals (e.g. bass drum). Because of their 

inherent inertia, VU meters tend to display levels of signals with frequencies 

of above 1 kHz too low. Therefore, when using instruments such as a hi-hat, 

you should set the input gain only up to -10 dB. Snare drums should be set up to 

roughly 0 dB.

(10) 

The TO PHONES switch gives you the option to feed the signals routed to the 

monitor/effects bus into your headphones for control purposes.

(11) 

The LEVEL control in the MAIN section governs the volume level of 

your headphones.
Please connect your headphones to the PHONES connector. It is a standard 

1/4" TRS stereo connector.

Use the POWER switch to power up your RX1602. The POWER switch should 

always be in the “Off” position when you are about to connect your unit to 

the mains.
