TAPE INPUT
These RCA jacks are designed to work with
semipro as well as pro recorders. To compen-
sate for typically low levels, signals coming in
here will be automatically boosted by 6dB.
Connect your tape recorder's outputs here,
using standard hi-fi (RCA) cables. To learn how
signals are routed from these inputs, see
SLEEVE
Use these jacks for convenient tape play-
back of your mixes. You'll be able to review a
mix and then rewind and try another pass
without repatching or disturbing the mixer lev-
els. You can also use these jacks with a
portable tape or CD player to feed music to a
PA system between sets.
WARNING: Engaging
both the TAPE and
ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX
buttons in the SOURCE
matrix can create a feed-
back path between TAPE INPUT and TAPE
OUTPUT. Make sure your tape deck is not
in record, record-pause, or input monitor
mode when you engage these switches, or
make sure the CONTROL ROOM / PHONES
level knob is fully counterclockwise (off).

Outputs? The MS1202-VLZ has plenty of 'em:
XLR main outputs,
OUTPUT, PHONES, CONTROL ROOM and
AUX SEND 1 and 2. Let's take a peek.

XLR MAIN OUTS

These low-impedance outputs are fully bal-
anced and capable of driving +4dBu lines with
.
up to 28dB of headroom. This output is 6dB
hotter than other outputs (noted on the MAIN
TIP SLEEVE TIP
MIX level pot by a special "U BAL" mark, just
left of the "U" center detent position). To learn
how signals are routed to these outputs:
To use these outputs, wire the XLR
(balanced only) connectors like this:
Pin 1 = Ground
Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 = Negative (– or cold)
