CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS
The control room output is normally connected to the 
monitor system in the control room and provides the stereo 
mix or, when required, the solo signal.

Voltage supply and fuse

Fig. 2.15: 

FUSE HOLDER
The console is connected to the mains via the cable supplied 
which meets the required safety standards. Blown fuses 
must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.

IEC MAINS RECEPTACLE
The mains connection is via a cable with IEC mains 
connector. An appropriate mains cable is supplied with  
the equipment.

POWER 
Use the POWER switch to power up the mixing console.

PHANTOM
The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power supply 
for the XLR connectors of the mono channels which is 
required to operate condenser microphones. The red 
+48 V LED lights up when phantom power is on. As a rule, 
dynamic microphones can still be used with phantom power 
switched on, provided that they are wired in a balanced 
configuration. In case of doubt, contact the microphone 
manufacturer!

SERIAL NUMBER
Please note the important information on the serial number 
given in chapter 1.3.3.

Digital effects module (only 1204FX)

Fig. 3.1: 

24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Here you can find a list of all presets stored in the multi-
effects processor. This built-in effects module produces 
high-grade standard effects such as reverb, chorus, flanger, 
delay and various combination effects. The integrated effects 
module has the advantage of requiring no wiring. This 
way, the danger of creating ground loops or uneven signal 
levels is eliminated at the outset, completely simplifying 
the handling.
These effect presets are designed to be added to dry signals. 
If you move the FX TO MAIN control, you mix the channel 
signal (dry) and the effect signal.
This also goes for mixing effects signals with the monitor 
mix. The main difference is that the mix ratio is adjusted 
using the FX TO MON control. Of course, a signal has to 
be fed into the effects processor via the FX control in the 
channel strip for both applications.

LEVEL
The LED level meter on the effects module should display 
a sufficiently high level. Take care to ensure that the clip 
LED only lights up at peak levels. If it is lit constantly, you 
are overloading the effects processor and this could 
cause unpleasant distortion. The FX control (AUX SEND 2) 
determines the level that reaches the effects module.

PROGRAM
You can select the effect preset by turning the PROGRAM 
control. The display flashes the number of the current preset. 
To recall the selected preset, press the button; the flashing 
stops. You can also recall the selected preset with the 
foot switch.

The packaging of your mixing console contains two 19" rack 
mount wings which can be installed on the side panels of 
the console.
Before you can attach the rack mount wings to the mixing 
console, you need to remove the screws holding the left and 
right side panels. Use these screws to fasten the two wings 
onto the console, being careful to note that each wing fits a 
specific side. With the rack mount wings installed, you can 
mount the mixing console in a commercially available 19" 
rack. Be sure to allow for proper air flow around the unit, and 
do not place the mixing console close to radiators or power 
amps, so as to avoid overheating.

You will need a large number of cables for the various 
connections to and from the console. The illustrations below 
show the wiring of these cables. Be sure to use only 
high-grade cables.

¼" TS connector for foot switch

Fig. 4.1: 

Please use commercial RCA cables to wire the 2-track inputs 
and outputs.
You can, of course, also connect unbalanced devices to the 
balanced input/outputs. Use either mono plugs, or ensure 
that ring and sleeve are bridged inside the stereo plug (or 
pins 1 & 3 in the case of XLR connectors).
