Introduction

Rear panel

1[DC IN] connector

Connect the included AC/DC power supply to this con- nector.

2[S/P DIF OUT] jack

This is an optical S/P DIF format (IEC60958, EIAJ CP- 1201) digital output jack (stereo).

You can use an optical cable to connect it to the optical digital input jack of a DAT or MD.

The same audio signal as the [MASTER OUT L/R] jacks is digitally output from this jack at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz.

6[MIDI IN] connector

This connector receives MIDI data. Use it when you

want to control the D1200 from a connected external MIDI device. (→ p.79)

7[MONITOR OUT L/R] jacks

Connect your external monitor system to these jacks. You can select the bus for monitor output in the

[INPUT/OUTPUT/SOLO] “Monitor” tab page

(→ p.100). These jacks output the same signal as the [PHONES] jack. These are RCA phono jacks.

8[MONITOR OUT LEVEL] knob

This knob adjusts the volume that is output from the [MONITOR OUT L/R] jacks.

3[S/P DIF IN] jack

This is an optical S/P DIF format (IEC60958, EIAJ CP- 1201) digital input jack (stereo).

You can use an optical cable to connect it to the optical digital output jack of a DAT or MD. Use a digital cable that is no longer than 5 meters.

This jack contains a built-in sampling rate converter. If the source connected here has a sampling rate of 48 kHz or 32 kHz, it will automatically be converted to 44.1 kHz.

96 kHz is not supported.

4 [USB] connector

You can use a USB cable to connect this to your compu- ter.

It is not possible to connect USB peripheral devices (such as an external hard disk or CD-R/RW drive) to the D1200.

5[MIDI OUT] connector

This connector transmits MIDI data. Use it when you

want to control a connected external MIDI device from the D1200. (→ p.79)

9[MASTER OUT L/R] jacks

These are analog audio outputs for the master LR bus signal that combines the signals of each mixer channel into a two-channel mix, or the audio signal that is selected for soloing. To select a solo signal, make set- tings in the [INPUT/OUTPUT/SOLO] “Solo” tab page. Connect these jacks to your external monitor system or recording device. They output the same audio signal as the [S/P DIF OUT] jack.

These are RCA phono jacks.

10[Phantom power] switch

+48 V phantom power is supplied to the [INPUT 1, 2] jacks, allowing you to use condenser mics. Phantom power is supplied to the balanced XLR jacks, and can be switched on/off independently for each channel. Turn on this switch only for channels that are using a con- denser mic.

You may damage your equipment if you connect or disconnect a condenser mic while phantom power is turned on. Always turn phantom power off before you connect or disconnect a condenser mic.

Never connect an dynamic type, other type mic or device if phantom power is turned on. Doing so may damage your equipment.
