Using Pan

The final Main output of the MPL 1204 is stereo—that is, there are two discrete

Main output jacks (and two discrete Control Room output jacks), labeled “left”

and “right,” which will normally be routed to two discrete speakers.* Because of

this, you will usually be working with a stereo field that ranges from hard left to

hard right. The MPL 1204 provides twelve monophonic input channels, each

with its own dedicated Pan control. The Pan circuitry in the MPL 1204 always

keeps the overall level constant, regardless of pan position. Here’s how it works:

When the Pan knob is placed at its center (detented) position, signal is sent

equally to both left and right outputs of the selected bus (depending upon the

setting of the channel’s Mute 3/4 switch, as described in #5 on page x). When

moved left of center, less signal is sent to the right output and more signal is sent

to the left output (making the sound appear left of center) and when moved right

of center, less signal is sent to the left output and more signal is sent to the right

output (making the sound appear right of center). To route a signal hard left or

right, place the pan knob either fully counterclockwise or fully clockwise.

You can use stereo panning creatively in a variety of ways: For example, you

might want to have guitars coming from one speaker and keyboards from

another, or you might use panning to “spread” the signal from a piano miked with

two microphones—one over the bass notes (panned left) and the other over the

treble notes (panned right). In live performance, you may want to resist the

temptation to pan anything completely hard left or right, since some members of

the audience not seated in the center of the venue may miss some signal

altogether. In these circumstances, you’re best to use modest panning, with

signals routed no further than the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions.

* You can, of course, also use the MPL 1204 monophonically—simply route the

same signal to both the left and right outputs.
