EURORACK PRO RX1202FX Controls
(EN)
Controls
(1) MIC — Each mono input channel
offers a balanced microphone input via
the XLR connector and also features a
switchable +48 V phantom power supply
for condenser microphones.
(2) LINE IN — Each mono input also features
a balanced line input on a ¼" connector.
Unbalanced devices (mono connectors)
can also be connected to these inputs.
(3) The INSERT connector is input and output at
the same time. This allows you to insert external
signal processors (compressors, gate, etc.)
in the channel. The signal retrieval occurs after
the TRIM and is practically a diversion of the
signal. The input signal of the connected signal
processor is diverted, processed and led back to
the channel for further processing.
(4) Use the GAIN control to adjust the input gain.
This control should always be turned fully
counterclockwise whenever you connect or
disconnect a signal source to one of the inputs.
(5) HIGH/LOW — All mono input channels include
a 3-band equalizer. All bands provide boost
or cut of up to 15 dB. In the central position,
the equalizer is inactive.
The upper (HIGH) and the lower band
(LOW) are shelving filters that increase or
decrease all frequencies above or below their
cut-off frequency. The cut-off frequencies
of the upper and lower band are 12 kHz and
80 Hz respectively.
(6) MON/FX — FX send buses (or AUX send
buses) enable you to extract signals from
one or more channels and collect these on a
bus. You can retrieve the signal at the send
connector to direct it to an external effects
device, for example. The AUX return input is
used as the return path. The send buses of the
RX1202FX are mono buses.
As the name suggests, the FX sends of the
EURORACK mixing consoles are intended to
drive effects devices (reverb, delay, etc.) and are
therefore configured post-fader. This means that
the mix between dry signal and effect remains
at the level determined by the channel's aux
send, irrespective of the channel fader setting.
If this were not the case, the effects signal of the
channel would remain audible even when the
fader is lowered to zero.
In the RX1202FX, the FX send is routed directly
to the built-in effects processor. To make sure
that the effects processor receives an input
signal, you shouldn't turn this control all the
way to the left (-∞).
The MON pat — as the name already implies—
is meant to be used as monitor signal path.
For this application, it is important that the
controller works as pre-fader, which means
it does not rely on the fader position. For this
reason the AUX send path is unsuitable for the
connection to effects devices. By using the
MON controller, you can produce a mono mix
of individual signals that can be routed over
the MON plug, located on the backside, to a
headphones amplifier (e.g. MINIAMP AMP800)
or a power amplifier for monitoring.
(7) The PAN control determines the position of
the channel signal within the stereo image.
This control features a constant-power
characteristic, which means the signal is always
maintained at a constant level, irrespective of
position in the stereo panorama.
(8) The CLIP LEDs of the mono channels illuminate
when the input signal is driven too high,
which could cause distortion. If this happens,
use the TRIM control to reduce the preamp level
until the LED does not light anymore.
(9) The CHANNEL FADER determines the level of
the channel signal in the Main Mix.
(10) The BAL(ANCE) control determines the levels
of left and right input signals relative to each
other before both signals are then routed to the
main stereo mix bus. If a channel is operated in
mono via the left line input, this control has the
same function as the PAN control used in the
mono channels.
(11) The MAIN OUT connectors are balanced and
laid out as XLR connectors. Here the summed
signal of the main mix has a level of 0 dBu.
(12) The CTRL OUT connectors are used for
controlling the summed signal (effects mix
and main mix) as well as for individual signals
over studio monitor speakers. By using the
PHONES/CONTROL ROOM controller in the
main section, you can control the level of
both outputs.
