100 FIRST-CLASS EFFECTS
The EURORACK RX1202FX features a built-in digital stereo
effects processor. This effects processor offers a large number
of standard effects such as Hall, Chorus, Flanger, Delay and
various combination effects. Using the FX control, you can feed
signals into the effects processor. 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.
SIG and CLIP LED
The SIG LED on the effects module shows the presence of a
signal whose level is high enough. This LED should always be
on. However, make sure that the CLIP LED lights up only
sporadically. If it is lit constantly, you are overdriving the effects
processor, which leads to unpleasant distortion. If this occurs,
turn the FX controls down somewhat.
PROGRAM
The PROGRAM control has two functions: by turning the
PROGRAM control, you dial the number of an effect. The number
of the preset you just dialed up blinks in the display. To confirm
your selection, press the PROGRAM control; the blinking stops.
FX TO MAIN
By using the FX TO MAIN controller, the effects signal is sent
to the main mix. No effects signal is to be heard in the summed
signal of the mixer when the controller is positioned entirely to
the left. Choose this position if you want to use an external
effects device for the FX output.
An overview of all the multieffect processor's presets are to
be found in the appendix.
2.6 Voltage supply, phantom power supply
and fuse
FUSE HOLDER/IEC MAINS RECEPTACLE
The mains connection is made via a cable with an IEC mains
connector and meets the required safety standards. An
appropriate mains cable is supplied with the equipment. Blown
fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and
rating.

POWER switch
Use the POWER switch to turn on the mixing console. The
POWER switch should always be in the "Off" position when you
are about to connect your unit to the mains.
To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main cord
plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily
accessible. If mounting in a rack, ensure that the mains can be
easily disconnected by a plug pull or by an all-pole disconnect
switch on or near the rack.
PHANTOM switch
The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power
(necessary to operate condenser microphones) on the XLR
sockets of the mono channels. The red +48 V LED illuminates
when phantom power is on. As a rule, dynamic microphones
can still be used with phantom power, 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.
2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTORS
Attention: The POWER switch does not fully
disconnect the unit from the mains. Unplug the
power cord completely when the unit is not used
for prolonged periods of time.
Connect microphones before you switch on the
phantom power supply. Please do not connect
microphones to the mixer (or the stagebox/
wallbox) while the phantom power supply is
switched on. In addition, the monitor/PA loud-
speakers should be muted before you activate the
phantom power supply. After switching on, wait
approx. one minute to
stabilization.
Caution! Please also note the information given in
chapter 4.2 "Audio connections".
