2.4 Fading and panning

Level to the Main Mix bus is ultimately determined by the Channel Volume control .

Channel Pan positions the output of the channel in the stereo field. Its constant-power design ensures

there are no level discrepancies whether a signal is hard-panned, centre-stage or somewhere inbetween. Such

pinpoint accuracy will be a revelation if you have been working on consoles with lower quality circuits.

3. STEREO INPUT CHANNEL

Each stereo channel comes with two balanced line level inputs on 1/4" TRS jacks , for left and right

signals. When only the left input is connected, the channel operates in mono.

3.1 Input level setting

The Stereo inputs are designed for any line level signal. Most line level sources such as MIDI instruments and

FX units will have their own output level control. Those that dont, like CD players, all have an output level within

the scope of the MX802A. When the channel and master fader are set to unity gain the meters should read

between -4 and +7 dB. Remember that there is 15 dB gain on both the channel as well as master fader.

3.2 Equalizer

There are no Lo Cut filters on stereo channels, otherwise the EQ is in principle identical to that on Mono

Channels (see 2.2), except that the EQ is stereo, of course!

A stereo equalizer is generally preferable to using two mono equalizers when EQ-ing a stereo signal, as often

discrepancies between left and right settings can occur.

3.3 Aux Sends

It is the same as for Mono Channels (see 2.3). Note that a mono sum is taken from the stereo input.

3.4 Volume control and panning/balancing

The only difference here to the Mono Channel described in 2.4 is in the implementation of the Balance control

. When a channel is run in stereo, this control determines the relative balance of the Left and Right Channel

signals being sent to the left and right Main Mix buses. For example, with the Balance control turned fully

clockwise, only the right portion of the channel's stereo signal will be added to the Main Mix.

If a Stereo Channel is run in mono (only the left input connected), the Balance control acts as a pan in the

normal way.

4. MAIN SECTION

4.1 Aux Sends

Aux Sends are provided on unbalanced 6.3 mm jacks . Please adjust the input level control of your effects

unit to match the output level of your EURORACK. This can be done when typical signals are run through the

MX802A and the Aux Sends are set to center (0 dB). If your effects unit does not have an input gain and the

effects levels seems too low, remember that every channel Aux Send has up to 15 dB gain, which should be

more than enough to drive any effects unit.
