INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing one of Phonic's many quality compact
mixers. The AM1204FX RW compact mixers – designed by the
ingenious engineers that have created a variety of mixers fantastic
in style and performance in the past – displays similar proficiency
that previous Phonic products have shown; with more than a few
refinements, of course. The AM series features full gain ranges,
amazingly low distortion levels, and incredibly wide dynamic
ranges, just showing the dominance these small machines will
have in the pro audio industry.
AM1204FX RW features four of Phonic's quality low-noise
preamplifiers accepting microphone signals, as well as number of
line-level ¼" phone jack inputs across four mono and two stereo
channels. AM1204FX RW is adorned with studio-quality 32-bit
digital effect processors that feature 16 unique effects, each of
which has its own user-adjustable parameter. AM1204FX RW
also features stereo USB audio interface, perfect for sending
audio directly to any modern OSX or Windows based computer.
Stereo audio can also be injected straight into your mix via the

USB interface.

Furthermore, via the on-board USB Player/Reorder, the AM1204FX
RW can playback/record music files from/into commercial USB
Memory Disk directly, which providing unmatched flexibility and
compatibility for all applications.
We know how eager you are to get started – wanting to get the
mixer out and hook it all up is probably your number one priority
right now – but before you do, we strongly urge you to take a look
through this manual. Inside, you will find important facts and figures
on the set up, use and applications of your brand new mixer. If
you do happen to be one of the many people who flatly refuse to
read user manuals, then we just urge you to at least glance at
the Instant Setup section. After glancing at or reading through the
manual (we applaud you if you do read the entire manual), please
store it in a place that is easy for you to find, because chances are
there's something you missed the first time around.

COMPUTER CONNECTION

By simply connecting the USB cable provided along with your
AM1204FX RW to the device and your Personal Computer or
Laptop, you are able to send CD quality (16-bit stereo, with a 44.1
kHz sampling rate) signal to and from your mixer. By doing this,
you are actually turning your AM1204FX RW into a highly useful
plug'n'play soundcard for your computer.
The USB sends an audio stream of the Main Left and Right
(record out) signal of your mixer to the computer. You can use
almost any dedicated Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software
to record the signal from the AM1204FX RW mixer. You can also
set the mixer as your default audio device.
The USB interface also returns the audio signal from your
computer back to the 2T Returns, the signal of which is controlled
by the 2T / USB Return control. If there are input signals from
both the USB interface and the 2T Return, the two signals are
combined and controlled simultaneously by the 2T return control.

Ensure all power is turned off on your mixer. To totally
ensure this, the power supply should not be connected to
the unit.
No input other than the one being set should have any
device plugged in. This will ensure the purest signal is used
when setting channels.
Set the level control of the channel you are setting to the 0
dB mark.
Disengaged the Mute button for the channel you wish to set.
Ensure the channel has a signal sent to it similar to the signal
that will be sent when in common use. For example, if the
channel is using a microphone, then you should speak or
sing at the same level the performer normally would during
a performance; if a guitar is plugged into the channel, then
the guitar should also be strummed as it normally would be
(and so on). This ensures levels are completely accurate
and avoids having to reset them later.
Set the gain control on the channel so that the level meter
indicates the audio level is around 0 dB.
This channel is now ready to be used; you can stop making
the audio signal.
You can repeat the same process for other channels. Or not,
it's your call.
Turn on both the AM1204FX RW and your computer.
Connect the mixer to the computer via the provided USB
cable.
Let Windows find the device and install an appropriate USB
sound driver.
Enter the Control Panel and select Sounds and Audio
Devices.
When here, go to the Audio tab and select the "USB Audio
Codec" as your default sound recording and playback
device.
