12:2 feature a built-in stereo digital
effects processor. This can be configured to work as a single 16
preset effects engine fed from AUX5, or in dual mode as two 8 preset
effects engines independently fed from AUX5 and AUX6. The
processed signal is routed back to the mix through the ST1 (ST5)
stereo return channel. In dual mode the two stereo effects mix
together into the return channel. The ST1 (ST5) TRS jack inputs mix
with the internal effects processor through the return channel. This
allows you to have the internal and external effects devices returning
their processed signals through one return channel. In dual mode this
gives you three stereo signals mixing into one.
AUX SENDS The combined effects signal can be returned to
Auxes 1 to 4. These sends are not affected by the ST1 (ST5) LEV
control which returns the signal to the LR mix. The stereo signal is
summed to feed the auxes in mono. This can be changed if preferred
by repositioning internal jumper options so that L feeds auxes 1,3, and
R feeds auxes 2,4. Use the aux sends to add the effects to the
monitors if required.
Selecting the effects preset Press SEL to scroll down
through the available effects. The green indicator lights to show which
effect is active. Press BANK to change between preset 1-8 and preset
9-16. The red indicator lights to show presets 9-16 are selected. In
dual mode BANK toggles between the AUX5 and AUX6 effects
processor selections. The default preset names are printed on the
front panel for reference. Presets can be edited using PC software.
Turning off the internal effects Once you have scrolled
through all 16 effects the green indicator turns off showing that the
internal processor is disabled. Select this mode if you want to work
with external effects sent from aux 5 or 6.
ST1 (ST5) LEV Returns the combined stereo effects to the main
LR mix. Adjust from fully off to +6dB maximum boost. Normal 3
0’clock 0dB operating position is marked on the panel.
MUTE Press this switch to mute the stereo return channel. This
turns off the feed to the LR mix and the auxes. The channel may also
be muted using a footswitch plugged into the rear of the console. The
red indicator lights when the channel is muted by the MUTE switch
and/or the footswitch. Note that the MUTE switch is latching. This
means the channel shall remain muted as long as the switch is in its
pressed position regardless of the footswitch.
MODE Recessed switch to prevent accidental operation. Situated
below the AUX6 master level control. Use a pen or sharp object to
change the setting. In the normal up position the processor is
configured as a SINGLE effects unit driven by AUX5. In the pressed
position the processor is configured as a DUAL effects unit driven by
AUX5 and AUX6.
Resetting the effects presets To restore the factory default
presets hold down the SEL key while powering up the console. Make
sure you do this while the amplifiers are turned off. The 8 green
indicators flash in sequence followed by the BANK indicator flashing on
then off to confirm the reset.
