The 802A can detect when a remote control is connected to the mixer. If the Automatic/Manual
switch is set to “Automatic,” the mixer mixer will continue to automatically gate the inputs on and
off when the remote control is connected. Conversely, if the Automatic/Manual switch is set to
“Manual,” an input connected to a remote control will operate in a manual mode; that is, it will be
gated on all the time. When the remote control is disconnected, automatic operation will be resumed.
Aux Output Level
This rear panel control is adjusted with a small screwdriver. It controls the output level of the
Auxiliary output.

These four inputs are transformer balanced and can accept either microphone or line levels. They
will also accept unbalanced input signals. A slide switch located inside the mixer sets the input for
either mic level or line level input signals. As shipped from the factory, the inputs of the 802A are
set for mic level.
Microphone Level Inputs
The four microphone inputs are designed to accept standard, balanced, low impedance microphones
(50 - 600
Ω
). These inputs will work well with both dynamic and condenser microphones. If a
condenser microphone is used, the phantom power for that input may need to be turned on. Also,
condenser mics can have a higher level output than a dynamic microphone, so switching in the
14dB pad may be desirable when using a condenser mic.
Line Level Inputs
When the internal mic/line slide switch is set to line level, the input can accept line level signals.
Selecting line level on an input adds 50dB of attenuation to the front of that input. When in the line
level position, an input is transformer balanced with an input impedance of 30k
Ω
. The phantom
power should be turned off when an input is configured for line level.
The Two Aux Inputs, and the Main and Aux Output
Aux inputs 1 and 2 are electronically balanced, line level inputs with an input impedance of 82k
Ω
balanced, and 41k
Ω
unbalanced. The level of Aux input 1 is controlled by the front panel, Aux
Level Control. The level of Aux input #2 is fixed at 10dB of gain. This input is designed to work
with outputs that can supply a level of 0.3Vrms (-10dBV). The maximum level connected to this
input should not exceed +10dBV.
The Main and Aux outputs are both transformer balanced outputs.
