Fast-Track “CAN’T WAIT!” tips for people who ignore manuals
A. To adjust input levels:

1.Set TRIM fully counterclockwise.

2.Set GAIN to unity (twelve o’clock).

3.Push in the INPUT CH. METERING switch.

4.Feed a normal signal into a selected input.

5.Adjust that input’s TRIM control so that the display on the left LED strip stays around 0, and never goes higher than +10.

6.Repeat for each of Channels 1– 4.

B. Connecting effects

Read the section starting on page 11 for

full information on connecting digital delays, reverbs, etc. via AUX SENDS and STEREO AUX RETURNS. This can get pretty complicated quickly.

Don’t cream your monitor speakers

Always turn the master gain and headphone level controls down before making connections to and from your MS 1202.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you! There are a lot of makes and models out there, all competing for your bucks … but you have voted with your wallet for the folks in Woodinville who specialize in American-made mixers.

There are only two other things we ask: First, now that you’ve got a MicroSeries 1202, find out how to get the most from it.

That’s where this manual comes in.

•If this is your first pro mixer, flip through the whole book: you’ll find it full of actual from-the-streets engineering tips, as well as operation and installation instructions.

•If you’re an experienced, big-bucks engineer with lots of fader hours under your fingertips, at least read “Part 1: All the Holes and Knobs.” (We’ve found that experienced engineers usually read manuals cover-to-cover anyway so that they can keep getting the big bucks.)
