1.Introduction
FBQ Feedback Detection System
The FBQ Feedback Detection System, integrated into the graphic equalizer, is one of the most outstanding characteristics of this mixing console. This ingenious circuitry lets you immediately recognize and eliminate feedback frequencies. The FBQ Feedback Detection System uses the LEDs in the frequency band faders of the graphic EQ to indicate the critical frequencies. This way, what once used to be a

!!CAUTION!
◊We would like to draw your attention to the fact that extreme volumes may damage your hearing and/or your headphones or loudspeakers. Turn the MAIN MIX faders and the PHONES control in the main section fully down before you switch on the unit. Always be careful to set the appropriate volume.
1.1 General mixing console functions
A mixing console fulfils three main functions:
•Signal processing: Preamplification
Microphones convert sound waves into voltage that has to be amplified
as little noise to it as possible. The XENYX Mic Preamp performs this role beautifully, leaving no traces of noise or sound coloration. Interference that could take place at the preamplification level could affect signal quality and purity, and would then be passed on to all other devices, resulting in inaccurate sounding program during recording or playback.
Level-setting
Signals fed into the mixer using a
Frequency response correction
Using the equalizers found in each channel strip, you can simply, quickly and effectively adjust the way a signal sounds.
Effects mixing
In addition to the effects processor contained in your mixer, using the insert connectors on the mono channels and both aux busses lets you insert additional signal processors into your signal path.
•Signal distribution:
Individual signals adjusted at each channel strip are laid out at the aux sends and returns, and are either fed into external effects processors or fed back to the internal effects processor. Then, the signals are brought back into the main mix either via the aux return connectors or via direct internal wiring. The mix for the
•Mix:
All other mixing console functions fall under this vital category. Creating a mix means primarily adjusting the volume levels of individual instruments and voices to one another as well as giving them the appropriate weight within the overall frequency spectrum. Likewise, you’ll have to sensibly spread individual voices across the stereo image of a signal. At the end
of this process, adjusting the level of the entire mix to other equipment in the signal path is required (e.g. recorder/crossover/amplifier).
The interface of BEHRINGER mixing consoles is optimized for these tasks, enabling you to easily keep track of the signal path.
