02R96 Version 2—Owner’s Manual
About this Owner’s Manual
This
Owner’s Manual
covers the 02R96 Digital Mixing Console.
All the information you need in order to operate the 02R96 Digital Mixing Console is con-
tained in this manual. Use the table of contents to familiarize yourself with the manual’s
organization and to locate tasks and topics, and use the index to locate specific information.
Before diving in, it’s recommend that you read the “Operating Basics” chapter, starting on
page 43.
Each chapter of this manual discusses a specific section or function of the 02R96. The Input
and Output Channels are explained in the following chapters: “Input Channels,” “Bus
Outs,” “Aux Sends,” and “Stereo Out.” Where possible, these chapters have been organized
in order of signal flow, from input through to output.
Functions such as EQ and Delay are common to all channels. Rather than repeat the same
information over and over, these functions are explained once in the “Common Channel
Functions” chapter, which starts on page 107. The Input Channels, Bus Outs, Aux Sends,
and Stereo Out chapters contain cross-references to the relevant sections of the “Common
Channel Functions” chapter.
Conventions Used in this Manual
The 02R96 features two types of button: physical buttons that you can press (e.g., ENTER
and DISPLAY) and buttons that appear on the display pages. References to physical buttons
are enclosed in square brackets, for example, “press the [ENTER] button.” References to dis-
play page buttons are not emphasized, for example, “press the ENTER button.”
Display pages can be selected by using the [DISPLAY] buttons or the Left Tab Scroll, Right
Tab Scroll, and F1–4 buttons below the display. In order to simplify explanations, only the
[DISPLAY] button method is mentioned in the procedures. See “Selecting Display Pages”
on page 45 for details on all the ways in which pages can be selected.
Installing the 02R96
The 02R96 should be placed on a strong and stable surface, somewhere that complies with
the warnings and cautions listed in the previous sections.
