Fig. 3.2: Live application of the 1202FX
This illustration shows a typical arrangement for a live setup. Two vocal
microphones and the line outputs of a guitar and a bass amplier are connected
to the mono channels of the 1202FX. A keyboard and a drum computer are
connected to the stereo channels. The power amplier in your sound system is
connected to the main outputs; equipment such as compressors, equalizersor
crossovers are located between the mixer and the amp in the signal path. Ifyou
wish to make a live recording, you can connect your recording equipment (inthis
case, a minidisk recorder) to the CD/tape outputs. A CD player that is playing
during intermissions is connected via the CD/tape inputs. If you connect
a recorder/player combo (e. g. a tape deck recorder), the CD/tape to Mix switch
should not be pressed during a recording because this way the signal intended
for recording would be directly re-routed back to the mixing console, and then
back to the recorder... this would cause a feedback loop as soon as you hit the
record button. A loud, unpleasant, even painful sound would result.
If you are using an external eects processor (wired as shown in the illustration),
please make sure that the FX SEND control in channel 11/12 is turned all the way
down counterclockwise to avoid creating a feedback loop.
