Congratulations on your purchase of the Samson
L2400 or L3200 mixing console! The L2400 and
L3200 are twenty-four and thirty-two channel,
true 4 bus consoles, with USB input and outputs
in ergonomically correct, attractively appointed
enclosures. The L Series include professional
features such as high quality mic pre amplifiers,
3-band, swept mid EQ, 100 mm faders and 6
auxiliary busses, with up to eight mixes possible.
Connecting all your microphones and instruments is
simple, with 16 mic/line inputs plus four additional
stereo channels on the L2400, and 24mic/line
inputs plus four additional stereo channels on the
L3200. In addition, each console has two extra mic
preamplifiers on the stereo channels, bringing the
total number of mic inputs to 18 on the L2400 and
26 on the L3200. There are also dedicated stereo
effects returns for the onboard digital effects. And
the effects! You can add one of 100 dazzling digital
studio quality effects, which include Delays, Chorus,
Flanging, and of course, lush Reverbs to your vocals
or instruments using the onboard 24-bit multi-
effects processor. It’s easy to dial up your favorite
effects preset with the large seven-segment LED
display. Need more effects? The L Series’ employs
two onboard 24-bit multi-effects processors. Plus,
the L Series mixers have extensive auxiliary busses,
allowing you to have complex combinations of
effects on all the channels, or two different effects
on different groups of channels. The auxiliary buses
are also extremely flexible when it comes to monitor
mixes and up to six simultaneous monitor mixes
are possible. The L series consoles also feature
a sophisticated onboard USB digital interface
allowing you to record and playback digital audio
from virtually any PC running most any recording
software. The flexible routing option lets you
assign the USB output to send the signal from the
Main stereo mix, or use the aux sends to record a
completely independent mix. The L2400 and L3200
will give you clean, clear sound reproduction thanks
to the advanced circuit topology, high quality
components, low noise microphone preamps and
super clean, low impedance mix bus design. The
super-tough steel construction ensures reliable,
high quality sound from venue-to-venue and
performance-to-performance day in, and night out.
