INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Soundcraft Notepad mixer. The Notepad range is a

compact mixing solution, bringing you all the features and performance that you

expect from a Soundcraft product, at an extraordinarily low price.

The packaging in which your Notepad arrived forms part of the product and should

be retained for future use.

Owning a Soundcraft console brings you the expertise and support of one of the

industry’s leading manufacturers, and the results of over 3 decades of

supporting some of the biggest names in the business. Our knowledge has been

attained through working in close contact with leading professionals and institutes

to bring you products designed to get the best possible results from your mixing.

Built to the highest standards using quality components and surface mount

technology, the Notepad is designed to be as easy to use as possible. We have

spent years researching the most efcient methods of control for two key reasons:

1) Engineers, musicians, writers and programmers all need to have very few

interruptions to the creative process; our products have been designed to be

almost transparent, allowing this process to breathe.

2) Whether performing or recording, time is a very expensive and rare commod-

ity. Our products have a user interface which is recognised by millions to be the

industry standard because of its efciency.

The sonic qualities of our products are exemplary - some of the same circuits

which are used on our most expensive consoles used on International tours are

employed in the Notepad, bringing you the great Soundcraft quality in a small

format console without

compromise.

You will also be glad to know you have a one year warranty with your product from

the date of purchase. The Notepad has been designed using the latest high-end

software based engineering packages. Every console from Soundcraft has been

proven to stand up to all the stress and rigours of modern day mixing environ-

ments.

The entire Notepad is manufactured using some of the most advanced techniques

in the world, from high density surface mount PCB technology, to computer aided

test equipment able to measure signals well outside the range of normal hearing.

ADVICE FOR THOSE WHO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES

Although your new console will not output any sound until you feed it signals, it has the

capability to produce sounds which when monitored through an amplier or

headphones can damage hearing over time.

Please take care when working with your audio - if you are manipulating controls which

you don’t understand (which we all do when we are learning), make sure your

monitors are turned down. Remember that your ears are the most important tool of your

trade, look after them, and they will look after you. Most importantly - don’t be afraid

to experiment to nd out how each parameter affects the sound - this will extend your

creativity and help you to get the best from your mixer and the most respect from your

artists and audience.

THE 60-SECOND GUIDE (NOTEPAD 124FX shown)

1 MIC INPUT (XLR) Connect Microphones here. If you are using a condenser mic, ensure phantom

power is supplied by pressing the switch at the top of the master section.

WARNING: Do Not apply Phantom Power before connecting a microphone.

2 LINE INPUT (¼” Jack) Connect Line level sources here, e.g. Synth, Drum Machine, DI etc.

3 GAIN CONTROL Adjust this to increase or decrease the level of the incoming signal.

4 PEAK LED This is used to indicate that the signal is close to distorting (clipping) on a specic

channel.

5 EQ STAGE Adjust these controls to change the signal tone (the character of the signal).

6 HPF The high-pass lter reduces the level of bass frequencies only. Use this in live PA

situations to reduce stage rumble or ‘popping’ from mics.

7 FX SEND /AUX SEND Adjust this control to change the level of the signal to the FX processor (Notepad

124FX) or an artist’s monitors (headphones/in-ear/stage monitors, Notepad 124).

8 PAN or BAL CONTROL Use the PAN control to position the signal within the stereo eld. On Stereo inputs,

BAL adjusts the balance of the stereo signal within the mix.

9 INPUT CHANNEL FADER This is used to control the level fed to the Mix Bus outputs.

10 +4/-10 SWITCH Used to set the input sensitivity of the stereo input channels (not Notepad 102)

11 MIX OUTPUTS (¼” Jack) Connect these to your analogue recording device, or to your amplication system.

12 MASTER FADER This fader controls the overall level of the mix outputs.

To get you working as fast as possible, this manual begins with a 60-second guide. Here you can nd quick

information on any feature of the console.
