Fender 3206 Powered Mixer Owner's manual | Manualzz
 M ODEL #3206
One of a family of
four powered mixers in the Fender
Pro-Sound line, the 3206 is a state-of-the-art
mixing console of high quality combined with a powerful
and rugged amplifier. The 3206 achieves performance in all respects as good
as separate components, allowing its use in even the most demanding professional applications.
FEATURES
Each of the six input channels features balanced
transformerless LO-z and Hi-z inputs. Input channels
have three band, five frequency, input EQ (mid-band
switchable 750Hz, 1.5kHz, 3.0kHz), signal present and
peak LEDs, a trim control with 40dB range to optimize
pre-amp gain and a pan control between the main out-
put busses plus two monitors, one effects buss and a
60mm slide fader.
The effects buss is normaled through an internal re-
verb, but accessible as an echo send and return on the
rear panel. Lo-z XLR mic connectors carry 48volt Phan-
tom power selected through an on/off switch on the rear
of the mixer.
The meter panel carries two switchable Vu meters
with “peak” LEDs, these meters monitor main and
monitor outputs, while the power amp output 1s
monitored by two clip LEDs.
Four nine-band graphic equalizers, two main, two
monitor, a program and effects return input and pan
control and the four master faders complete the front
panel controls.
Extensive system interstage patch points allow the re-
arrangement of many of the features of the mixer to al-
low specific requirements to be met. All input and
output levels and impedances are matched and suitable
for this purpose.
The mixer section of the 3200 series is of the highest
quality with very low distortion and noise, allowing the
use of this kind of product for professional sound con-
tracting and high quality live sound reinforcement.
The built-in amplifiers are of essentially the same
design as the highly acclaimed Fender 2224 and 2244
series power amplifiers. These amplifiers are designed to
produce their rated power into highly reactive and low
impedance loads, and are provided with forced-air cooled
heat dissipators. Delivering in excess of 200 watts per
channel into 4 ohms with great sonic accuracy, the am-
plifiers exceed the specs and performance of many of the
best “separate” products available.
The 3200 series has exceptional stability even well be-
yond its normal intended operational limits, allowing
its successful use in high demand situations. High head-
room and correct internal grounding procedures add to
the overall sonic performance of the line.
Packaged ma compact enclosure and fitted with
unique “pointer” type color-coded knobs and BNC con-
nectors, for optional panel light, the powered mixer
presents itself as an attractive and professional product
that will give many years of reliable service.
The 3200 series powered mixers are supplied with an
extensive 73 page “Owners/ Applications” manual that
is a most valuable resource for the user and operator in
not only the operation of the 3200 series but all aspects
of sound reinforcement. For the sound contractor this
manual offers an effective means of training the operator
and assuring the best operation of a system as it was de-
signed and installed.
