Controls and Functions

INPUT CHANNEL SECTION - continued

around the center point that are affected by the MID 

CUT & BOOST control) and can be set in a range from 

100Hz to 8Khz. 

LF (LOW FREQUENCY) 80Hz +/- 15dB shelving 

type

The channel’s LOW frequency response is flat when 

the knob is in the “12:00” position. Rotating the 

knob towards the right will boost the channel's low 

frequency response at 80 Hertz by 15dB, and rotating 

it towards the left will cut the frequency by 15dB. 

8 - Channel Equalizer - Stereo Channels

The L1200 and L2000 Stereo input channels feature 

a 4-band equalizer allowing you to adjust the high, 

mid, and low frequencies independently on each 

channel. The stereo channel equalizer is laid out like 

a mono input on the control panel input strip, but 

internally, the equalizer is affecting a stereo signal 

path. The channel’s frequency response is flat when 

the knobs are in the “12:00” position. Rotating the 

knob towards the right will boost the corresponding 

frequency band by 15dB, and rotating it towards the 

left will cut the frequency by 15dB. The frequency 

centers, range of boost or cut, and equalizer type for 

each band are as follows:
High: 12kHz +/- 15dB shelving type
High Mid: 3kHz +/- 15dB peaking type
Lo Mid: 500 kHz +/- 15dB peaking type
Low: 80Hz +/- 15dB shelving type

9 - PAN Control

The L1200 and L2000’s PAN control is used to place 

or position the mono signal into the stereo main Left 

and Right MIX bus. You can create a stereo image by 

panning some input signals to the left and others 

to the right. The L1200 and L2000’s PAN control is a 

Power-Pan circuit, which includes a 3dB dip in the 

center position.  This is desirable since there’s a 3dB 

increase in gain when the mono input signal is heard 

in both the Left and Right MIX bus. 

10 - MUTE switch  

The Mono Input channels feature a large, backlit 

MUTE switch allowing you to easily turn that channel 

on or off. When MUTE switch is illuminated, the 

channel is off. Conversely, when the backlight is off, 

the channel is on. 

11 - SOLO/PFL (Pre Fader Listen) switch 

The Mono Input channel’s PFL, or Pre Fader Listen 

switch allows you to listen, or “solo” a channel or 

group of channels in the headphones. When the 

SOLO/PFL switch is pressed down, either mono PFL 

or stereo SOLO is sent to the headphones. To listen 

to the PFL, press the Meter Select switch, located 

below the VU meter, down to select PFL. To hear the 

stereo SOLO, the meter switch must be in the up 

position.

12 - 1-2 Group Assign switch

The 1-2 Group assign switch is used to assign the 

input channel to the 1-2 Group output bus. 

Note:

 The Group output follows the channel’s PAN 

control, so if a channel is panned all the way to the 

left it will only feed Group Output 1. Conversely, if a 

channel is panned all the way to the right, it will only 

feed Group Output 2.

13 – 3-4 Group Assign switch

The 3-4 Group assign switch is used to assign the 

input channel to the 3-4 Group output bus. 

Note:

 The Group output follows the channel’s PAN 

control so if a channel is panned all the way to the 

left, it will only feed Group Output 3. Conversely, if a 

channel is panned all the way to the right, it will only 

feed Group Output 4.

14 –MAIN  Assign switch

The MAIN assign switch is used to assign the input 

channel to the left and right stereo bus outputs. 

15-  VOLUME - Fader Level Control

The VOLUME Fader control adjusts the level of each 

mono input channel.
