MU1202 / MU1202X
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Inputs and Outputs
1. XLR Microphone Jacks
These jacks accept typical 3-pin XLR inputs for balanced and
unbalanced signals. They can be used in conjunction with
microphones – such as professional condenser, dynamic or
ribbon microphones - with standard XLR male connectors, and
feature low noise preamplifiers, serving for crystal clear sound
replication. The MU1202 and MU1202X mixers feature four
standard XLR microphone inputs for your convenience.
NB.
When these inputs are used with condenser microphones, the Phantom
Power should be activated. However, when Phantom Power button is
engaged, single ended (unbalanced) microphones and instruments should
not be used on the Mic inputs.
2. Line Inputs
This input accepts typical 1/4” TRS or TS inputs, for balanced or
unbalanced signals. There are various numbers of these inputs
depending which mixer you are using. They can be used in
conjunction with various line level devices, such as keyboards,
drum machines, electric guitars, and a variety of other electric
instruments.
3. Stereo Channels
The MU1202 and MU1202X mixer feature a few stereo channels,
thrown in for maximum flexibility. Each of these stereo channels
features two 1/4” TRS phone jacks, for the addition of various
line level input devices, such as electronic keyboards, guitars and
external signal processors or mixers. These Stereo Channels
can also be used as Mono channels, where the signal from any
1/4” phone jack plugged into the Left stereo input will cause the
signal to be duplicated to the Right input due to the miracle of jack
normalizing. This does not work in reverse, however.
4. AUX / Effects Send
These 1/4” TS outputs may be used to connect to an external
digital effect processor, or even to an amplifier and speakers
(depending on your desired settings), to the mixer. The signal
sent from these outputs is fed from the AUX send control on the
MU1202 and the Digital Effect Processor on the MU1202X.
5. Phones
This stereo output port is suited for use with headphones,
allowing monitoring of the mix. The audio level of this output is
controlled using the Control Room / Phones control.
6. Main L and R Outputs
These two ports will output the final stereo balanced line level
signal sent from the main mixing bus. The primary purpose of
these jacks is to send the main output to external devices, which
may include power amplifiers (and in-turn, a pair of speakers),
other mixers, as well as a wide range of other possible signal
processors (Equalizers, Crossovers, etcetera).
7. Control Room Outputs
These two 1/4” Phone Jack outputs feed the signal altered by the
Control Room/Phones level control on the face of the mixer. This
output has extensive use, as it can be used to feed the signal
from the mixer to an active monitor, for the monitoring of the
audio signal from within a booth, among other possible uses.
8. Record Out
These outputs will accommodate RCA cables, able to be fed to
a variety of recording devices. such as MD players, and even
laptop computers, ensuring total control over recording quality.
9. 2T Return
These RCA stereo inputs are used to connect the mixer with
external devices, such as tape and CD players, or even Laptop
computers, receiving a signal from another source and feeding it
to the Main L-R mixing bus.

10. Power Connector
This port is for the addition of a power cable and supply, allowing
power to be supplied to the mixer. Please use the power adaptor
that is included with this mixer only.
11. Power Button
This switch turns the MU1202 and MU1202X mixers on and off.
