XENYX 1002FX/1202FX User Manual

LINE IN

Each stereo channel has two balanced line level inputs on ¼" connectors for left and right channels. If only the connector marked“L”(left) is used, the channel operates in mono. The stereo channels are designed to handle typical line level signals. Both inputs will also accept unbalanced connectors.

FX

The FX send of the stereo channels functions similar to that of the mono channels. However, since the FX send bus is mono, a mono sum is first taken from the stereo input before it is sent to the FX bus.

BAL

The BAL(ANCE) control determines the levels of left and right input signals relative to each other before both signals are then routed to the main stereo mix bus. If a channel is operated in mono via the left line input, this control has the same function as the PAN control used in the mono channels.

LEVEL

The LEVEL control determines the volume of the channel being sent to the main mix.

+4/-10

The stereo inputs of the XENYX have an input sensitivity switch which selects between +4 dBu and -10 dBV. At -10 dBV (home-recording level), the input is more sensitive (requires less level to drive it) than at +4 dBu (studio level).

FX SEND

The FX SEND connector outputs the signal you picked up from the individual channels using the FX controls. You can connect this to the input of an external effects device in order to process the FX bus’master signal. Once an effects mix is created, the processed signal can then be routed from the effects device outputs back into a stereo input.

◊If the connected effects processor receives no input signal, the FX SEND control is probably too low. This also goes for the built-in effects processor.

◊Adjust your external effects processor to 100% wet (effects signal only), because the effects signal is added to the main mix along with the“dry”channel signals.

◊In this instance, the FX control of the channel being used as an effects return should be turned fully counterclockwise, otherwise feedback problems can occur!

PHONES/CONTROL ROOM OUT

The stereo PHONES connector (at the top of the connector panel) is where headphones are connected. The unbalanced CONTROL ROOM OUT connectors carry the summed effects and main mix signals as well as soloed channel signals.

The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control in the main section adjusts the level of both headphones and main monitor outputs.

MAIN OUT

The MAIN OUT connectors are unbalanced mono connectors. The main mix signal appears here at a level of 0 dBu. The MAIN MIX fader adjusts the volume of these outputs. Depending on how you wish to use your mixer and which gear you own, you can connect the following equipment:

Live PA systems:

A stereo dynamics processor (optional), stereo equalizer (optional) and the stereo power amplifier for full-range loudspeakers with passive crossovers.

If you wish to use multi-way loudspeaker systems without an integrated crossover, you have to use an active crossover and several power amplifiers. Often, limiters are already built into active crossovers (e.g. BEHRINGER SUPER-X PRO CX2310 and ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496). Active crossovers are implemented directly before the power amplifier, and they divide the frequency range into several segments that are first amplified in the amplifiers and then passed on to the corresponding loudspeakers.
