APPLICATION
There are potentially hundreds of ways to connect instruments and devices to the MU1202 and 1202X Compact Mixers.
It is advisable that you explore the functions and find the best setup possible for your needs, which may depend on
what instruments you wish to connect, as well as how many external devices you wish to connect and your required
monitoring applications. Combining the use of different instruments with the mixer’s special functions (such as digital
effect processing, in the case of the MU1202X) will ensure that your audio sounds exactly the way you want it.
