Owner’s Manual
Owner’
s Manual
Typically, these knobs can just live at the center
detent, and the effects device’s output control should
be set at whatever they call unity gain (check their
manual). If that turns out to be too loud or too quiet,
adjust the effects device’s outputs, not the mixer. That
way, the mixer’s knobs are easy to relocate at the center
detent.
Signals passing through these controls will proceed
directly to main mix, with one exception (see paragraph
below). The STEREO RETURNs do not have MUTE/ALT
3-4 switches, so if you want these signals to get to the
ALT 3-4 mix, you’ll have to patch the effects device’s
outputs into one of the stereo channels, and MUTE/ALT
those channels.
41. RETURN TO AUX 1
If you want to add reverb or delay to the stage monitor
mixes of AUX 1, this is the switch for you.
With the switch up, STEREO RETURN 1 and 2 behave
normally — they deliver their signals into the main mix.
With the switch down, STEREO RETURN 1 still behaves
normally, but STEREO RETURN 2 will feed AUX SEND 1
instead of the main mix.
Still with us? Good. So far, with the switch down, we
have STEREO RETURN 1 feeding the main mix and
STEREO RETURN 2 feeding AUX SEND 1. Now, sup-
pose you only have one effects device, and you want it to
feed both the MAIN MIX and AUX SEND 1. That’s where
“jack normalling” comes in:
JACK NORMALLING
Jack normalling (not to be confused with Jack
Normalling, Chicago Cubs utility infielder, 1952-61, .267
LBA) is a feature found on almost every mixer, keyboard
and effects device. These jacks have special spring-
loaded pins that connect to the signal pins, but when
something is plugged into the jack, that connection is
broken.
These normalling pins can be used in all sorts of ways.
The ubiquitous phrase “LEFT (MONO)” means that if
you plug a signal into the LEFT side and have nothing in
the RIGHT side, that signal is also fed to the right input,
courtesy of jack normalling. As soon as you plug some-
thing in the RIGHT side, that normalled connection is
broken.
How does all this relate to the
RETURN TO AUX 1 [41] switch?
STEREO RETURN 1’s inputs are
normalled to STEREO RETURN 2.
If you have one effects device, plug
it into STEREO RETURN 1. Plug
nothing into STEREO RETURN 2.
Now the signals feeding the STEREO RETURN 1 inputs
will also be sent to the STEREO RETURN 2 inputs.
Engage the RETURN TO AUX 1 switch, and now the
STEREO RETURN 2 knob will become an additional
AUX SEND 1 knob for the signal at AUX RETURN 1. Say
that ten times! Once again, AUX RETURN 1 will behave
normally, as always.
Congratulations! You’ve just read about all the fea-
tures of your 1202-VLZ3. You’re probably ready for a cold
one. Go ahead. The rest of the manual can wait.
