L1402FX-USB Owner's Manual
AUX SEND
This sends the channel to the aux bus. See the previous section for
more information.
BALANCE (BAL)
The Balance knob has a similar effect to the pan control explained
in the previous section. But the Balance control just turns down one
input or the other. As you turn Balance to the right, the signal coming
into the Left/Mono input gets softer. This allows you to control the
panning in your mix without collapsing the stereo width of the input.
LEVEL
This controls the level of the channel going to the Main Outs. See the
previous section for more information.
2TK INPUT
The 2TK Inputs are a pair of unbalanced RCA phono line inputs.
They can be used for a variety of applications:
• Monitoring a mixdown recorder. Since these inputs aren't sent
to the Main Outputs, there is no chance of a feedback loop.
• Playing an MP3 player through the PA between band sets,
muting all microphones
• Sending a signal to the headphone outputs but not to the main
outputs. You might plug a set of outputs from a computer inter-
face into these inputs, so that the metronome click can be sent
to the headphones but not the main out.
There are two buttons that control where these inputs are heard. One
is To Mix and the other is To Phones (Ctrl Room.)
When TO MIX is switched on, all of the inputs are muted except for
the 2TK input. All that you will hear from the L/R outputs is what is
playing into the 2TK input. You might use this in the example above
to play audio from a mobile device to the PA between sets.
Pressing TO PHONES/CONTROL ROOM means that only the 2TK
input is heard through the Control Room and Phones outputs. This
is useful if you are recording the mix and only want to hear what
is coming back from the recorder. This ensures that the recorder is
getting the mix that you expect to hear. It also allows you to monitor
the recorder output without creating a feedback loop in the speakers.
OUTPUT TYPES
This chapter explains each of the outputs on the Harbinger L1402FX-USB mixer and their level controls.
MAIN OUTS
The Main Outs are line outputs. They will work with either balanced
or unbalanced cables. The Main Mix fader controls the level of the
Main Outputs. You might plug the main outs into a PA amplifier or a
mixdown recorder.
All of the channels should show up at the Main outputs. If they don't,
make sure that the "2TK to Mix" button isn't pushed.
CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS (CTRL RM OUT)
The Control Room Outputs are a separate set of outputs for the
mixer. In a home studio, you might plug these into a set of powered
studio monitors. The Ctrl Rm|Ph knob controls the level going to the
control room outputs (and the headphones.)
There are three sources that can be sent to the Control Room
Outputs. Usually, you listen to the same mix that's coming out of the
Main Outs. If the 2TK to Phones (Ctrl Room) button is pressed, only
the 2TK input will be heard through the Control Room outputs.
If the Aux to Phones (Ctrl Rm) is pressed down, the aux send will be
heard through the Control Room outputs. This can be useful when
preparing a headphone mix for an artist.
PHONES
This is a headphone-level output. It is designed to drive a pair of
headphones with a balanced ¼" connector. If your headphones
have a 1/8" stereo jack, you will need an adapter to plug them into
the mixer (included with most professional headphones.)
Note that the headphones and the control room outputs are linked
– both the mix and level. If you press 2TK to Phones (Ctrl Room), the
2TK input will be sent to both the control room outs and the head-
phones. If you turn the control room level all the way down, there will
be no signal in the headphones.
AUX SEND
This jack sends the aux bus out of the mixer. Turn up the Aux knob on
any channel to send it to the Aux Send output. See page 9 for more
information about the Aux Send.
2TK OUTPUT
This is a pair of unbalanced line level outputs. They are just a copy
of the Main Outputs. If you turn the Main Mix fader down, the level
is also reduced here.
