L502 & L802  Owner's Manual

WHAT'S ON THE FRONT PANEL 

INPUT/OUTPUT JACKS:

1

 Mic Input: XLR connector for a microphone-level signal. This 

input also sends phantom power to a microphone when 
Phantom Power is switched on. 

2

 Line Input: A ¼" input that accepts a line-level signal. 

Either a balanced (TRS) or unbalanced (TS) cable can be 
plugged in here. 

3

 Gain Control: Controls the input gain for the selected channel, 

from either the mic or line input. 

4

 Left/Mono Line Input: When this input is used and not the 

input below, it is sent to both the left and right outputs of the 
stereo channel. If L and R are both used, a stereo signal is sent 
to the Main Out.

5

 Main Out: Outputs controlled by the Main Mix fader.

6

 Control Room Out*: Outputs controlled by the Control Room/

Phones knob. 

7

 Aux Send*: Output can be connected to a stage monitor or 

effects processor

8

 Phones Out: Stereo output for driving a pair of headphones. 

The output level is controlled by the Control Room/
Phones knob. 

CONTROL SECTION:

 

A

 High EQ: Controls a high shelving EQ, boosting or cutting 

frequencies from 12kHz and above

B

 Mid EQ*: A peaking EQ control, boosting or cutting frequen-

cies centered around 2.5kHz

C

 Low EQ: Controls a low shelving EQ, boosting or cutting 

frequencies 80Hz and below

D

 Aux*: A post-fader auxiliary send. It sends the channel to the 

Aux Send output. 

E

 Pan: Sends the channel to the left output, right output, or some-

where between. 

F

 Level: Controls the level of the channel going to the 

Main outputs. 

G

 Balance: Works in a similar way to a pan control, it turns down 

one side or the other of the stereo input. 

H

 Aux RCA Input: An unbalanced input for a mixdown recorder, 

MP3 player, computer or other playback source.
