General Description The RX-208, 212 and 216, are mixing consoles with 8, 12 and 16 inputs respectively, 2 program outputs, 2 foldback outputs, and 1 echo output. Each input channel and line output has a balanced, low impedance, transformer-isolated, XLR connector, and an unbalanced, 1/4" jack. Each input channel includes an accessory send/receive jack for inserting a signal processing device into the signal path, and a phantom power ON/OFF switch for permitting use of a condenser microphone. An

Front Panel, Input Section Peak Indicator The peak indicator lights if clipping occurs in the pre-amp stage of the corresponding input channel. When the light comes on, an adjustment must be made with the Input Level Selector Switch and/or the Input Trim control. Input Level Selector Switch (INPUT) Selection is made in accordance with the output of the microphone or other equipment connected to each input channel (XLR connector and phone jack).

How to use ''channel patching" accessory jack The accessory jack (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) is provided on each input channel to allow insertion of outboard signal processing devices (example: compressor/limiters, noise gate, equalizer, etc.) into the signal path. The jack functions as both an output and an input (Tip=Receive, Ring=Send, Sleeve=Shield). Connection cables for this purpose should be wired as illustrated in Fig. 2. Inserting a plug into the jack interrupts normal signal flow and places th

How to get a good mixing Before connecting the equipment to the mixing console, check the impedance and level of • both. If the impedances and levels do not match, mixing will be very difficult and the S/N ratio will also be adversely affected. Each input channel of the RX-208, RX-212 and RX-216 is provided with a Trim control. • Thorough understanding of the function of a Trim control will make mixing easier. TRIM The function of the Trim control is that the negative • feedback volume of the

Channel and Graphic Equalizers Equalization for music The Graphic Equalizer is designed not only for use in preventing feedback and equalizing uneven room frequency response to be flat, but also for equalizing frequency response to your tastes and producing favourable sound for you. Fig. 1 shows each frequency band and its corresponding auditory feeling. Fig. 2 and Table 1 show the relation between each musical instrument and its frequency band. They can be of great help in the equalizer operati

Channel and Graphic Equalizers Feedback Prevention When the overall gain of a sound system is increased, feedback will occur at frequencies where the system response has peaks. Suppose the system has uneven frequency response like that shown in the following diagram. The frequency at which feedback will occur when gain is increased is about 500Hz. In this case, feedback may be prevented by attenuating levels at 500Hz by 3dB to 5dB with an equalizer. If the overall gain is again gradually increas
