Congratulations on your purchase of the Samson
L1200 or L2000 mixing console! The L1200 and
L2000 are twelve and twenty channel, true four
bus consoles, with USB input and outputs in
ergonomically correct, attractively appointed
enclosures. The L Series include professional
features such as high quality mic pre amplifiers,
3-band, swept mid EQ and 4 auxiliary buses.
Connecting all your microphones and instruments
is simple, with eight mic/line inputs plus two
additional stereo channels on the L1200, and
sixteen mic/line inputs plus two additional stereo
channels on the L2000. In addition, each console
has two extra mic preamplifiers on the stereo
channels, bringing the total number of mic inputs to
10 on the L1200 and 18 on the L2000. There are also
dedicated stereo effects returns for the onboard
digital effects. And the effects! You can add one of
100 dazzling digital studio quality effects, which
include Delays, Chorus, Flanging, and of course,
lush Reverbs to your vocals or instruments using
the onboard 24-bit multi-effects processor. It’s
easy to dial up your favorite effects preset with the
large seven-segment LED display. Plus, the L Series
auxiliary buses are extremely flexible when it comes
to monitor mixes and effects sends with a total of
four sends available. Both mixers feature two pre
fader aux sends for two monitor mixes and a third
aux send that includes a Pre/Post switch to use as a
third monitor mix or an external effects send, plus a
dedicated post fader EFX send for the internal DSP.
The L series consoles also feature a sophisticated
onboard USB digital interface allowing you to record
and playback digital audio from virtually any PC
running most any recording software. The flexible
routing option lets you assign the USB output to
send the signal from the Main stereo mix, or use
the aux sends to record a completely independent
mix. The L1200 and L2000 will give you clean, clear
sound reproduction thanks to the advanced circuit
topology, high quality components, low noise
discrete microphone preamps and super clean,
low impedance mix bus design. The super-tough
steel construction ensures reliable, high quality
sound from venue-to-venue and performance-to-
performance day in, and night out.
