Operation Manual

Thank you for selecting the ZOOM STUDIO 1202 (hereafter called “The 1202”). The 1202 is a sophisticated effect processor with the following features:

A total of 512 preset effect programs (32 effects x 16 patterns) makes the unit immediately usable for a wide variety of creative applications.

44.1 kHz sampling frequency assures high performance, ideal for processing sound sources such as guitar, bass, synthesizer, etc.

Full stereo configuration—a first in this class— creates rich, natural reverb sounds. Using the two channels individually is also possible.

Please take the time to read this manual carefully, in order to get the most out of your 1202 and to ensure optimum performance and reliability.

Safety Precautions

Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the 1202.

• Power requirements

The 1202 is powered by the supplied AC adapter. Do not use any other kind of AC adapter to prevent malfunction and safety hazards.

• Connecting cables and input and output jacks

You should always turn off the power to the 1202 and all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to disconnect all cables and the AC adapter before moving the 1202.

When using the 1202 in an area with a different line voltage, please consult your local ZOOM distributor about acquiring a proper AC adapter.

• Environment

Avoid using your 1202 in environments where it will be exposed to:

Temperature extremes

High humidity or moisture

Excessive dust or sand

Excessive vibration or shock

Handling

Since the 1202 is a precision electronic device, avoid applying excessive force to the switches and buttons. Also take care not to drop the unit, and do not subject it to shock or excessive pressure.

• Alterations

Never open the case of the 1202 or attempt to modify the product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.

Usage Precautions

• Electrical interference

The 1202 uses digital circuitry that may cause interference and noise if placed too close to other electrical equipment, such as TV sets and radio receivers. If such problems occur, move the 1202 further away from the affected equipment. Also, when fluorescent lights or devices with built-in motors are close to the 1202, the unit may not function properly.

• Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the 1202. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull the finish or damage the surface.

Please keep this manual in a convenient place for future reference.

Front Panel

(1) INPUT control

Serves to adjust the volume of the sound source connected to the input.

(2) LED indicator

When the 1202 is turned on, this indicator lights up in green. If the level of the input signal is too high, the indicator turns red to show that the sound will be distorted. Adjust the INPUT control so that the indicator flashes briefly red on the highest signal peaks.

(3) MIX control

Serves to adjust the level balance between the original sound and the effect sound. When the control is turned fully counterclockwise, only the original sound is heard. When the control is turned fully clockwise, only the effect sound is heard.

(4) OUTPUT control

Serves to adjust the output signal level.

(5)EQ LOW control

(6)EQ HIGH control

NOTE When a compound effect (indicated by a / in the effect name) is selected for bank B, the EQ LOW and EQ HIGH controls affect only the reverb or the echo effect sound.

(7) EFFECT selector

Serves to select the effect type to be used. There are 16 different effect types for bank A and bank B.

(8) BANK switch

Serves to select the effect bank A or B.

(9) PATTERN selector

Determines the application pattern of the selected effect. For each effect, 16 different patterns are available.

(10)EDIT1 control (11)EDIT2 control

These controls serve to adjust the parameters of the currently selected effect. Which parameters can be controlled depends on the selected effect and the selected pattern. (Refer to the supplied preset program list.)

These controls serve to adjust the low and high frequency range of the effect signal.

Rear Panel

(1) INPUT connector

Serves for connection of the sound source signal from an instrument, mixer send, etc.

NOTE When wishing to use equipment with low output, such as a guitar, electric bass or microphone, a preamplifier or a mixer with an integrated preamplifier must be connected between the equipment and the 1202.

(2) OUTPUT connector

Serves for connection to the return input of the instrument or mixer, or to the playback system.

(3) EFFECT OFF connector

By connecting the optional foot switch FS01 to this jack, effects can be switched on and off externally. When OFF is selected, only the original signal is output, and the power LED on the front panel flashes in orange.

(4) POWER (AC adapter) connector

Serves for connection of the supplied AC adapter. Be sure to use only the supplied adapter. When the AC adapter is plugged into an AC outlet, the 1202 will be automatically switched on.
