Page 19
Connections and controls 14 [L] 1/4" phone input to connect the left signal of a stereo line level audio source (keyboards, drum modules etc.). With mono signals in channel 11/12, use this input with the [R] socket unused so the signal is present at both sum chan‐ nels.
Page 20
Connections and controls 19 [AUX] Rotary control to adjust the signal portion to be sent to the [AUX SEND] output to e.g. create a monitor mix. 20 [PRE / POST] When this switch is pressed, the signal portion set with the [AUX] control is not affected by the channel fader ([PRE]). When the switch is not pressed, the AUX signal is not subject to the channel fader ([POST]).

Connections and controls 25 [PEAK] The LED lights up on channel overload. If this happens in channel 9/10 press the [PAD] switch. When overload occurs in channel 11/12 reduce the output level of the signal source connected here. 26 The channel fader sets the strength of the channel signal in the overall signal. mix 1402FX...

Connections and controls 35 [STEREO IN] Stereo RCA input for line level audio sources. 36 [REC OUT] Stereo RCA output for line level audio sources. Here, the sum signal is present, but unaffected by the master faders. 37 [AUX SEND] At this line level output the signal set with the [AUX] channel controls is present, maybe to create a monitor mix.

Connections and controls 41 [CR OUT] Outputs to connect studio monitors, e.g. active speakers or a stereo power amplifier with passive speakers. 42 [FOOT SWITCH] Connector for a foot switch to turn the internal effects section on or off. 43 [+48V] switch When this switch is in the ON position, a phantom voltage of 48 V is present at the XLR sockets in the mono channels for using condenser mics.
Page 28
Connections and controls 46 [LEDs] These LED chains indicate the level of the sum signal. Keep the level within a range below +18. The red LEDs indicates overload. In this case, pull back the two master faders so that the red LEDs do not light up any more. If the PFL button is pressed in one of the channels, the signal in this channel is displayed in the left LED chain, regardless of the channel fader.
