Applications
Here are four suggested applications for the MPL 1204; bear in mind that your particular circumstance may dictate
changes in these suggested signal connections and routings.
Application 1 - Using The MPL 1204 As A Recording Mixer
The MPL 1204 is optimized for use as a recording mixer with multitrack digital or analog recorders. As shown in the
illustration below, microphones and line level signals are connected to various channel inputs. Signal processors are
connected to Aux sends and returns and to channel inserts as required, with Aux send 1 (which is pre-fader) driving a
headphone amplifier for cue mixes. The Control Room outputs are connected to a power amplifier driving studio
monitors. The Main outputs are connected to the inputs of a two-track or DAT recorder, with the outputs of the two-track
or DAT recorder connected to the MPL 1204 tape inputs. The four Bus outputs are connected to the inputs of a
multitrack recorder, with the multitrack outputs connected to four MPL 1204 channel line inputs. During mixdown, those
channels carrying the multitrack outputs are routed to bus 1/2 (via their channel “Mute 3/4” switches), with buses 1 and 2
routed to the Main L/R outputs (by pressing in their Bus “L/R” switches). To listen back to the mix, the channels carrying
the two-track outputs (channels 11 and 12) are routed to bus 3/4 (via their channel “Mute 3/4” switch); then connect
buses 3 and 4 to the Control Room outputs by pressing in their Bus “L/R” switches.
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
