INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing this LD Systems audio product. The LAX12D is a professional compact mixer. It's
smooth, natural sound and precise reproduction make it ideal for gigs, recording, and fixed PA installations. The
LAX12D offers some features that are not often found in this price class. The mono channels stand out because
of their ultra-low-noise microphone preamps with +48V phantom power. In addition, all channels are equipped
with warm and natural sounding equalizers: the mono channels have 3-band EQs (MID: with adjustable centre
frequencies), the stereo channels with 4-band EQs with fixed centre frequencies. Moreover, the LAX12D has a
highly precise (12-segment) level meter, 2-track inputs that are assignable to both the main mix outputs and
the phones/control room outputs, and much more. In addition, the integral 24-bit effects processor provides 100
effects presets. The LAX12D mixer is extraordinarily easy to use. Nevertheless, we recommend that you read this
manual carefully before using the product for the first time. This will enable you to get the most out of your mixer.

FEATURES & GETTING STARTED:
• Before plugging in your LAX12D mixer, make certain that the available AC voltage is suitable for your device.
• Make certain that the mixer is turned off before connecting it to the mains power, and set all controls to "zero".
This will avoid damage to your speakers due to loud power-on noise and high levels.
• Always turn on the mixer rst and then the power amplier. When powering down, the sequence is reversed:
First turn off the power amplifier and then the mixer.
• Always turn off the LAX12D mixer before connecting cables.
• Do not use solvents to clean the LAX12D; use a clean, dry cloth. When powering down, the sequence is
reversed: First turn off the power amplifier and then the mixer.
• Always turn off the LAX8D mixer before connecting cables.
• Do not use solvents to clean the LAX8D; use a clean, dry cloth.

CONTROL ELEMENTS:
1MONO CHANNELS (MIC/LINE)
The mono channels offer balanced XLR connectors for low-impedance micro-
phones and other low-level equipment. In addition, there are 6.3 mm TRS jack
input connectors for microphones and line level equipment (e.g., synthesizers,
drum computers, effects processors, etc.). Important: The MIC and LINE inputs
cannot be used simultaneously on the same channel. +48V PHANTOM POWER
The XLR inputs on the mono channels provide +48V phantom power for con-
denser microphones. Important: Never connect a microphone without phantom
power to the XLR input when phantom power is on.
2INPUT GAIN ADJUSTMENT
The input gain control has two different scales: one for microphones and one
for line level devices. The outer ring (0 ~ 44 dB) refers to microphones, the
inner one (+15 ~ -30 dB) to line level devices. Always adjust the gain control
so that the peak LED above the channel fader lights up only occasionally. If the
LED is on constantly, this can lead to distortion.
3LOW CUT FILTER
The LOW CUT button activates a low cut lter (75 Hz, slope 18 dB/octave) for
reducing low-frequency noise such as mains hum or handling noises from
vocal microphones.
4STEREO CHANNELS
The stereo channels are configured as stereo pairs with 6.3 mm TRS jack
input connectors. Mono signal sources should be connected to the left jack
input connector.
5+4dBu/-10dBV SELECTOR
The line inputs of the stereo channels have a button for selecting the input
sensitivity (+4 dBu for professional audio equipment, -10 dBV for general hi-
devices, etc.). If you are uncertain which setting to use for the respectively
connected device, rst try +4 dBu. If the level is too low, switch to -10 dBv.
6AUX SENDS
These 6.3 mm TRS sockets can be used to split the signal and send it additio-
nally to external effects processors or the like. In addition, these outputs can
be used as submix outputs.
7PHONE
Headphones for monitoring the output signal (MAIN MIX) can be connected to
this TRS socket.

EQUALIZER
The mono input channels of the LAX12D are equipped with 3-band
equalizers (HI/MID/LOW; MID: with adjustable centre frequencies), the
stereo channels with 4-band EQs with fixed centre frequencies (HI,
HI-MID, MID-LOW and LOW). The boost/cut range is +/-15 dB.
8HI
This knob is used to control the high frequencies. You can use it to
add more brilliance and presence to the corresponding signal or
attenuate undesirably loud high frequencies (boost/cut range -15
dB to +15 dB, centre frequency 12 kHz).
9MID
This knob is used to control the midrange frequencies. These are
the most important frequencies for musical instruments and the
human voice (boost/cut range -15 dB to +15 dB). The FREQ knob
is used to set the centre frequency that is to be boosted or cut
(100 Hz to 8 kHz).
10 HI-MID
This knob is used to control the hi-mids, which are slightly higher
than the frequencies covered by the MID EQ. This provides even
greater flexibility when it comes to equalization of the important
midrange frequencies.
11 MID-LOW
This knob is used to control the mid-low frequencies (boost/cut
range -15 dB to +15 dB, centre frequency 500 Hz).
12 LOW
This knob is used to control the low frequencies. You can use
it, for example, to boost a bass drum, bass guitar or male voice
(boost/cut range -15 dB to +15 dB, centre frequency 80 Hz).
13 AUX SEND CONTROLS
These two knobs are used to adjust the level of the signals sent
to AUX buses 1 and 2. This does not affect the MAIN MIX output
signal. AUX 1 can be configured as PRE or POST fader using the
PRE/POST button. In the POST position (button not pressed) the
signal is sent after the channel fader, meaning that the volume set
for this channel also affects the AUX 1 signal. In the PRE position
(button pressed), the signal is sent before the fader, so that the
channel fader does not affect the AUX 1 signal. AUX 2 is a "post
fader" path.

14 PAN/BAL
The mono channels of the LAX12D have panorama (PAN) controls and the stereo channels have balance
(BAL) controls, both of which are used to distribute the signal to the right and left output channels.
15 MUTE/ALT3-4
Each of the channels of the LAX12D has a MUTE/ALT3-4 switch. This switch can be used to send the signal
of the respective channel to the ALT3-4 output.
16 SOLO
The SOLO switch lets you hear only the signal of the channel for which the solo function is activated (button
pressed) without the other channels. The SOLO switch is especially useful for adjusting input levels (gain
adjustment) and as a "preview" option for monitoring the respective signal.
17 PEAK LED
All channels of the LAX12D are equipped with a peak LED for monitoring the respective audio signal. If the
peak LED lights up (6 dB below the actual clipping threshold), this means that the signal is peaking and
distortion may ensue.
18 CHANNEL FADER
This fader controls the overall volume of the respective channel, i.e., the level at which the signal is sent to
the main mix.
19 2-TRACK IN/OUT
TAPE IN: Use the TAPE IN input to connect a tape recorder or DAT recorder. Press the 2TK IN button on the
front panel to send the signal coming from the connected device to the PHONES/CONTROL ROOM output or
the 2TK TO MAIN MIX button to send it to the MAIN MIX output. TAPE OUT: The mix can be output to a tape
recorder via these cinch (RCA) connectors. 2TK IN CONTROL: This control is used to adjust the level of the
2TK IN signal, which can be varied from ∞ to MAX.

20 STEREO AUX RETURNS
These 6.3 mm jack (TRS) sockets are primarily used to return the audio signal from an external effects processer
to the mixer (MAIN MIX). In addition, these connectors can be used as additional AUX inputs. Note: If no connector
is plugged into Aux Return 2, the signal of the internal effects processor is present on Aux Return 2.

21 AUX RETURN CONTROL
This control is used to adjust the return levels of AUX
paths 1 & 2, whereby the signals are added to the L/R
MAIN MIX.
22 EFX TO AUX 1
This switch routes the signal that is present at AUX
RETURN 2 to the AUX 1 output so that the effects
can also be heard in the monitor mix - which proves
extraordinarily helpful in practice.
23 AUX SEND CONTROLS
These controls adjust the master AUX SEND level (-∞
to +15 dB). This makes it possible to boost the AUX
signals by up to 15 dB if necessary.
24 LED LEVEL METER
The stereo level meter (12 segments) is used to
monitor the level of the output signal.
25 SOLO MODE BUTTON & SOLO LED [25]
These buttons are used to toggle between the
two solo modes PFL (pre-fader listening, button
not pressed) and AFL (after-fader listening, button
pressed).
In PFL mode, the signals of the channels that have
been switched to SOLO are sent pre fader, i.e., the fa-
der position (channel volume) does not influence the
solo signal. In AFL mode, the signals of the channels
that have been switched to SOLO are sent post fader
plus panorama control – which, although it is above
the channel fader, comes after the fader in terms of
circuitry. In this mode, the position of the channel
fader and the panorama control also influences the
solo signal. Note: The SOLO mode selection (PFL/AFL)
does not have any affect until at least one channel
has been switched to solo mode. In this case, the
SOLO ACTIVE LED is also illuminated.
26 ALT3-4 FADERS
These faders are used to control the level of the ALT
output (control range -∞ to +10 dB).

38 INSERTS (MONO CHANNELS)
All mono MIC channels are additionally equipped with Insert sockets (stereo jack, TRS), via which external
effects devices or the like can be patched into the respective channel. The signal is sent immediately after
the input gain control (TRIM) to an external signal processor, for example, a compressor or limiter. Once the
signal has passed through the external signal processor, it is returned to the same channel immediately
before the EQ. Note: Connecting external devices to insert points requires a so-called "Y" cable.
39 CTRL ROOM OUTPUT
These 6.3 mm sockets are used to send the signal to studio monitor speakers (CONTROL ROOM) or a PA
system.
40 ALT OUTPUT
These unbalanced 6.3 mm sockets serve as additional outputs. Their level is controlled using the ALT 3-4
fader in the master section of the mixer (max. +22 dBu). The signals of all channels for which the Mute/Alt
3-4 button has been pushed are routed to this bus; they no longer reach the main mix.
41 MAIN MIX OUTPUT
The L/R MAIN MIX OUTPUT has both XLR and 6.3 mm TRS sockets via which the main mix output signal can
be sent to an amplier. The output level is controlled by the MAIN MIX LEVEL fader (-∞ to +10 dB).
42 FOOT SW
This socket can be used to connect an external footswitch for activation/deactivation of the integral effects
processor (function identical with that of the DFX MUTE switch).
43 PHANTOM SWITCH
This switch activates the +48V phantom power for the four XLR microphone inputs. Important: Make certain
that the phantom power is off before connecting microphones.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Now that you have familiarized yourself with the functions of the LAX12D mixer, you should have no trouble
using it. Nevertheless, we recommend that you read the following section carefully. It contains important infor-
mation about how to obtain the best results with your mixer.
-Before connecting mics or instruments, make certain that the channel and MAIN MIX faders of the LAX12D
mixer are set to minimum (all the way down).
- Make certain that all external devices such as mics, power amplifiers, speakers, effects processors, etc. are
connected properly.
- When running cables, take care not to injure anyone or damage the equipment.
- Set the output level of your mixer and the connected power amplifier to no more than 75%.
- Do not set the PHONE/CONTROL ROOM level higher than 50%.
- Set the EQ controls (HI, MID, LOW) to the middle position.
- Set the PAN/BAL controls to the middle position.
- While speaking into each connected mic (speech or vocals) or playing the instrument, adjust each channel
fader (LEVEL) so that the peak LED of the corresponding channel comes on only occasionally. This will ensure
that there is always enough headroom and dynamic range available.
- You can shape the sound of the individual signals using the respective channel equalizer.
- Repeat this sequence of steps for all of the input channels being used, always keeping an eye on the LED level
meter (OUTPUT LEVEL) so that it does not swing too far into the red area.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
The LAX12D mixer offers numerous, highly flexible possibilities for balanced or unbalanced connection of your
equipment via XLR and 6.3 mm TRS connectors. These are explained below.
WIRING CONFIGURATION
The XLR and 6.3 mm TRS connectors of the LAX12D permit balanced and unbalanced connections depending on
the equipment connected. Examples for wiring your system:
