Setting Up and Using The MPL 1204
Setting up your MPL 1204 is a simple procedure which takes only a few minutes:
1.Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and decide where the unit is to be physically placed— it can be mounted in any standard 19" rack, requiring four rack spaces, or used on a tabletop.
2.Before even plugging the unit into an AC socket, begin by connecting the MPL 1204 Main or Control Room outputs into a power amp and the amp into loudspeakers (you’ll usually connect the Main output to a power amp in live performance environments and the Control Room output to a power amp when using the MPL 1204 for recording). It is never a good idea to power up any amplifier that is not connected to loudspeakers.
3.Next, make the signal input connections to the mic or line inputs of the various channels. WARNING: Do not connect a channel’s line input if you already have something connected to its microphone input, or vice versa; each channel is designed to accept only one source or the other.
4.Set all channel Trim controls fully counterclockwise (to their “+4” setting) and turn all channel Level controls fully counterclockwise (to their “∞ ” setting). Then bring all four bus faders completely down (to their “∞ ” setting), and set the Main and Control Room Level controls fully counterclockwise (to their “∞ ” setting).
Finally, connect the IEC main power cord and plug the MPL 1204 into any grounded AC socket.
5.Turn on the rear panel Power switch— the “Power” LED in the main section will light up.
