INSTALLATION  
To ensure years of enjoyment from your NADY AUDIO MXE-1212 mixing console, please read and understand this manual  
thoroughly before using the unit.  
1. INSPECTION  
Your NADY AUDIO MXE-1212 was carefully packed at the factory in packaging designed to protect the units in shipment.  
Before installing and using your unit, carefully examine the packaging and all contents for any signs of physical damage that  
may have occurred in transit.  
[Please note: Nady Systems is not responsible for shipping damage. If your unit is damaged, do not return to Nady, but  
notify your dealer and the shipping company (if shipped to you) immediately to make a claim. Such claims must be made by  
the consignee in a timely manner.]  
2. RACK MOUNTING  
Enclosed in the shipping box you will find a rackmount kit. If you want to make your MXE-1212 a rack mixer, remove the  
screws from the side panels and use them to attach the rack ears.  
(Note: The rack rears are supplied as “left” and “right” and must be attached as such.)  
3. SETUP AND OPERATION  
Parts of the unit can become very warm during use. This is normal during operation. Care should be taken to ensure that  
there is enough space around the unit for cooling. Also, do not place the MXE-1212 on high temperature devices such as  
power amplifiers, etc., or the unit may overheat in operation.  
Although the units chassis is shielded against radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), extremely high  
fields of RF and EMI should be avoided.  
The MXE-1212 has an internal power supply and is designed to operate from an external AC source. Power requirements  
for electrical equipment differ from area to area. Be sure to confirm that the voltage selected by the voltage selector switch  
on the back panel is proper for your area (120VAC/60 Hz or 230VAC/50Hz) per the information below:  
Europe (except UK): 230V, 50Hz  
UK and Australia: 240V, 50Hz  
USA and Canada: 120V, 60 Hz  
For other areas, please check with local authorities.  
When ready to operate, plug the AC cord into the power source. Make sure that the unit is turned off before connecting to  
the AC power source to avoid possible loud transients which can damage your speakers or your ears, especially when mon-  
itoring with headphones. Set the noted controls to the positions indicated below to further minimize the chance of undesired  
noise when first powering up your MXE-1212 :

processing or  
The Mic input is an elec-  
tronically balanced XLR  
type designed to accept  
signals from any bal-  
anced low impedance  
(Low Z) microphone. To  
accommodate condenser  
microphones, this input is  
also equipped with  
+48VDC phantom power

XLR input jacks with the

across an entire  
signal. Here an Aux Send would be inappropriate. Instead,  
the signal is intercepted somewhere along the channel, fed  
through the dynamics processor and/or EQ, then returned to  
the console at the same point where it left. The insert point is  
normalized, i.e., the signal is only interrupted when a plug is  
plugged into it. The insert jack is located pre EQ in the chan-  
nel and is configured as: Tip = send, Ring = return, Sleeve =

require phantom power-  
ing. It will be necessary to adjust the channel gain with the  
input Trim control (4) and/or Pad switch (5) to achieve a  
nominal operating level. The XLR jack is configured for: Pin1  
= ground, Pin2 = positive (+), Pin3 = negative (-).  
The Insert can also be used as a channel direct output by  
sending the signal from the ring. To use the Insert as a direct  
output, insert a 1/4phone plug halfway into the Insert jack  
so the tip of the plug connects with the ring of the insert jack.  
The jack will click into place when the connection to the ring  
is made.  
[Note: The Mic inputs are more sensitive than the Line inputs.  
Also, do not connect mics with the phantom power switched  
on, as indicated by the Phantom Power On LED (21) in the  
Master Section of the front panel. Never use unbalanced mic  
cables with the Phantom Power switched on. Never short the  
+48VDC to ground, as that can cause serious damage to  
your mixer. Also, turn down the Stereo Master faders (25A,  
25B) to prevent possible sharp transient noise from damaging  
the speakers when turning the phantom power on or off.]  
(4) TRIM CONTROL  
The trim control adjusts the  
input sensitivity (channel  
gain) of the Mic and Line  
inputs on the input chan-

nels. This control can be  
adjusted to accommodate  
(4)  
input signals from a wide  
variety of sources, from the  
high outputs from key-  
(2) LINE INPUT  
The Line input is designed to accept balanced or unbalanced  
line-level signals such as those from keyboards, drum  
machines, or samplers. There is enough gain available on the  
line input to accept even lower level signals, such as those  
from an unbalanced microphone or guitar output. Use the  
Trim control (4) and/or Pad switch (5) to adjust for the  
desired level. If a balanced signal is to be connected to the  
line input, then a 1/4TRS (stereo) phone plug should be  
wired for: Tip = positive (+), Ring = negative (-), Sleeve =  
ground.

control adjusts the input  
sensitivity from -20dB to -

(7) AUX ( POST ) SEND CONTROLS  
This control attenuates  
the input signal -20dB  
when set to the IN (but-  
ton depressed) position.  
The Aux send controls are mono and post-EQ and pre-fader  
and the signal level sent to the AUX bus will be unaffected by  
the channel fader setting. This configuration is ideal for  
almost all monitoring purposes: for example, for a separate  
stage monitor mix in live performances or a studio room mon-  
itor in recording applications, such as for a headphone cue  
system.

The EFF controls are mono, post-EQ and pre-fader and the

quency response is flat  
when all three EQ knobs  
are in the center detent  
position. The upper and  
lower shelving controls  
have their frequencies  
fixed at 12 kHz and 80  
Hz respectively. The  
midrange control has a  
peaking response at  
2.5KHz (Q fixed at 1  
octave). The channel EQ  
is a valuable feature of  
the mixer as it allows the  
user to control the tonal  
characteristics of each  
instrument separately.  
(11)  
(9) PAN  
The Channel Pan positions the output of the channel in the  
stereo field of the main mix. Its constant-power design  
ensures there are no level discrepancies whether a signal is  
hard-panned, center-stage, or somewhere in-between.  
(10) PFL SELECT SWITCH  
The PFL (pre-fader listen) switch enables monitoring the sig-  
nal of any channel(s) selected (button depressed) at nominal  
levels through the headphone output. The signal is post EQ  
and independent of channel fader position. Selecting the PFL  
never interrupts the main stereo out or the AUX sends.  
(11) CHANNEL FADER  
For example, boosting the LOW can fatten the sound and add The channel faders determine the output signal level to the  
punch to the bass or drums; the MID control can be used to  
define the midrange or bring out the vocals; and adjusting the  
HIGH control can provide a crisp sounding high end. Another  
very important, yet often overlooked technique is to use the  
EQ to subtract from the mix. Cutting the HIGH control can  
reduce unwanted hiss during multi-track recording, while

(12A) L (MONO) LINE  
INPUT  
The stereo channel EQs operate in the same manner as  
those in the mono channels. The left and right signals will be  
affected equally. A stereo equalizer is generally preferable  
anyhow to using two mono equalizers when equalizing a  
stereo signal as it avoids possible discrepancies between the  
left and right settings.  
On stereo input channels  
5-12, the 1/4line inputs  
are designed for stereo  
or mono line-level signals  
such as those from key-  
boards, drum machines,  
CD players, tape decks,  
or samplers. However,  
these inputs can also be  
used as standard mono  
line inputs by connecting
