All 12 channels are fitted with a 3 band equalizer (EQ) for enhancing signals or correcting problems. You get two full-featured auxiliary sends per channel that can be used for creating separate headphone mixes. There are also four balanced channel inserts so you can connect your favorite compressors, gates or effects units. Another studio friendly feature is the control room source matrix that lets you choose to listen to any of three different sources through the console's control room stereo outputs. Channels 1-4 have phantom power so you can use condenser microphones, while Low-cut filters on those channels help reduce low-frequency noise the more sensitive condensers often pick up.With a rack-mountable design and rugged steel chassis built to handle load-ins and load-outs, the 1202 also shines in a live setting. Sealed rotary controls make sure the unavoidable dirt, dust, and road grime won't affect the console.
