7. STEREO RETURNS
This is where you connect the outputs of your par-
allel effects devices (or extra audio sources). These
balanced inputs are similar to the stereo LINE IN [2]
inputs (without EQ, Aux Sends, Pan, Mute, and Solo).
The circuits will handle stereo or mono, balanced or
unbalanced signals, either instrument level, –10 dBV
or +4 dBu. They can be used with just about any pro or
semipro effects device on the market. The signals com-
ing into these inputs can be adjusted using the STEREO
RETURN [40] knobs before passing onto the main mix
bus, see page 19.
One Device: If you have just one parallel effects
device (two cords), use STEREO RETURN 1 and leave
STEREO RETURN 2 unplugged. That way, the unused
STEREO RETURN 2 level control can be used to feed
STEREO RETURN 1 to your stage monitors, via the
RETURN TO AUX 1 [41] switch.
Mono Device: If you have an effects device with
a mono output (one cord), plug that into STEREO
RETURN 1, L/MONO, and leave STEREO RETURN 1,
RIGHT, unplugged. This way the signal will be sent
to both sides, magically appearing in the center as a
mono signal. This won’t work with STEREO RETURN 2
— you’ll need a Y-cord.
8. AUX SEND 1&2
The AUX SEND [31] knobs tap a portion of each
channel's signal to provide an output here to feed exter-
nal parallel effects processors or stage monitoring. See
the AUX SEND details on page 15.
These 1⁄4" jacks are balanced outputs capable of de-
livering 22 dBu into a 600 ohm balanced or unbalanced
load.
9. TAPE INPUT
These RCA jacks are designed to work with semipro
as well as pro recorders. To compensate for typically
low levels, signals coming in here will be automatically
boosted by 6 dB.
Connect your tape recorder’s outputs here, using
standard hi-fi (RCA) cables.
Use these jacks for convenient tape playback of your
mixes. You’ll be able to review a mix and then rewind
and try another pass without repatching or disturbing
the mixer levels. 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 CON-
TROL ROOM SOURCE [33] matrix can create
a feedback path between TAPE INPUT and TAPE OUT-
PUT. 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 / SUBMIX
[34] level knob is fully counterclockwise (off).
10. TAPE OUTPUT
These unbalanced RCA connections tap the main
mix output to make simultaneous recording and PA
work more convenient. Connect these to your recorder’s
inputs. (See also MAIN MIX [32] on page 16.)
Mono Out: If you want to feed a mono signal to your
tape deck or other device, simply use an RCA Y-cord to
combine these outputs. Do not attempt this with any
other outputs on the 1202-VLZ3.

⁄4" MAIN OUTS
These outputs feed the main mix out into the waiting
world. You can feed your amplifi ers this way, or through
the XLR MAIN OUTS [13].
These balanced outputs are capable of delivering 22
dBu into a 600 ohm balanced or unbalanced load.
To use these outputs to drive balanced inputs, con-
nect 1⁄4" TRS (Tip–Ring–Sleeve) phone plugs like this:
Tip = + (hot)
Ring = –(cold)
Sleeve = Ground
For most music recording and PA applications, unbal-
anced lines are fi ne. To drive unbalanced inputs, con-
nect 1⁄4" TS (Tip–Sleeve) phone plugs like this:
Tip = + (hot)
Sleeve = Ground
