  1.  Use the MON/FX control to set the signal level of the respective channel for monitoring or effects purposes. You can take the MON/FX signal at the MON OUT SEND connector (14). The MON/FX SEND control (7) of the main section governs the overall MON/FX SEND signal level.

  2. By using the BALANCE control, you can set up the position of mono signals in the stereo image, and regulate the ratio of left/right channel signals when processing stereo signals.

  3.  The MUTE switch is used to interrupt the signal path, thus muting the respective channel. When pressed (signal muted) the switch is lit red.

  4. To increase or reduce the input signal level, use the LEVEL control (increase up to +15 dB, reduce all the way down to -∞).

  5. Use the OPERATING LEVEL switch located on the rear of your RX1602 to individually adjust each channel to the output signal level of your equipment. When the switch is depressed (-10 dBV), the inputs are more sensitive.

  6. These are the inputs of the channel sections on balanced 1/4″ TRS connectors.

  7. Use the MON/FX SEND control to set the signal level of those signals that are routed to the MON OUT SEND connector (14) for monitoring or effects applications.

  8. The left signal portion of the mix was created using the LEVEL and BALANCE controls of each channel is set using the MAIN LEFT control. The right signal portion of the mix is correspondingly adjusted using the MAIN RIGHT control.

  9. You can easily get a readout of both channels by observing the highly accurate 7-digit level meters labeled LEFT OUTPUT LEVEL and
    RIGHT OUTPUT LEVEL.

  10. The TO PHONES switch gives you the option to feed the signals routed to the monitor/effects bus into your headphones for control purposes.

  11. The LEVEL control in the MAIN section governs the volume level of your headphones.

  12. Use the POWER switch to power up your RX1602.

  13. The MAIN OUT connectors come as 1/4″ TRS jacks.
    The main mix signal (derived from all channels) is present here. You can set the output signal level by using the MAIN LEFT and MAIN RIGHT
    controls (8) (reducing all the way down to -∞, increasing up to +15 dB).

  14. The monitor signal can be taken at the MON OUT SEND connector (1/4″ TRS connector).
