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 CONTROL ROOM SOURCE matrix can create a feedback path between TAPE INPUT and TAPE OUTPUT. 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 level knob is fully counterclockwise (off). Outputs? The 1202-VLZ PRO has plenty of 'em: XLR main outputs, 1⁄4" MAIN OUTS, RCA TAPE OUTPUT, PHONES, CONTROL ROOM and AUX SEND 1 and 2. Let's take a peek. XLR MAIN OUTS These low-impedance outputs are fully balanced and capable of driving +4dBu lines with up to 28dB of headroom. This output is 6dB hotter than other outputs. To learn how signals are routed to these outputs: . To use these outputs, wire the XLR (balanced only) connectors like this: SHIELD 2 HOT COLD 3 1 SHIELD 1 COLD 3 2 HOT 1 3 2 SHIELD COLD HOT Pin 1 = Ground Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot) Pin 3 = Negative (- or cold) 14

TAPE INPUT
These RCA jacks are designed to work with
semipro as well as pro recorders. To compen-
sate for typically low levels, signals coming in
here will be automatically boosted by 6dB.
Connect your tape recorder’s outputs here,
using standard hi-fi (RCA) cables.
