STEREO INPUT CHANNELS (Notepad 124FX shown)
There are four stereo inputs available.
1 STEREO INPUTS
These inputs accept 3-pole 6.35mm (1/4”) jacks.* Use these inputs for sources
such as keyboards, drum machines, synths, tape machines or processing units. The
inputs are BALANCED for low noise and top quality from professional equipment,
but you can use UNBALANCED sources by wiring up the jacks as shown in the
‘Wiring Up’ section earlier in this manual, although you should then keep cable
lengths as short as possible. Mono sources may be used by plugging into the left
jack only.
2 AUX/FX SEND (FX send shown, Notepad 124FX)
This is used to set up a separate mix for FOLDBACK, EFFECTS or RECORDING, and
is mixed to the Aux or FX Send Output at the rear of the mixer. For the Notepad
124FX, it is desired that for the signal fades up and down with the fader (this is
called POST-FADE), but for Foldback or Monitor feeds using the Notepad 102 and
Notepad 124, it is important for the send to be independent of the fader (this is
called PRE-FADE).
3 +4/-10 SWITCH (Notepad 124/124FX only)
This switch allows you to change the input sensitivity of the stereo input. Most
consumer-type equipment such as CD players has an output of -10dBv so this
switch setting should be used. For professional equipment which has higher level
outputs, the +4 setting should be used. If in doubt, always start with the +4 setting
so that you do not overload the input.
4 BAL (BALANCE)
This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the Left and Right MIX
buses, allowing you to balance the source in the stereo image. When the control is
turned fully right or left you feed only that side of the signal to the mix. Unity gain is
provided by the control in the centre-detented position.
5 INPUT CHANNEL LEVEL
This control allows precise balancing of the various source signals being mixed to
the Master Section.
* The Notepad 102 features a combination of 3-pole jacks and RCA Phono con-
nectors. The jack inputs are optimised for profes4dBu levels, while the RCA
Phono inputs are optimised for -10dBV level equipment such as CD or MP3 players
and computer sound cards.
