10XENYX XL1600/XL2400/XL3200 User Manual

4.Connectors

Let's begin with the rear panel where the majority of inputs and outputs are located.

4.1 Power supply

4.2 Mono inputs

IEC receptacle

The mains connection is a standard IEC receptacle. An appropriate power cord is supplied with the unit.

FUSE HOLDER

Before connecting the unit to the mains, ensure that the voltage setting matches your local voltage. Blown fuses should only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating. Please also read the information given in chapter “Specifications.”

POWER

Use the POWER switch to turn on the mixing console. The POWER switch should always be in the “Off” position when you are about to connect your unit to the mains.

To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main cord plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible. If mounting in a rack (XL1600 only), ensure that the mains can be easily disconnected by a plug pull or by an all-pole disconnect switch on or near the rack.

Please note: The POWER switch does not fully disconnect the unit from the mains. To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main cord plug or appliance coupler. When installing the product, ensure the plug or appliance coupler is readily operable. Unplug the power cord when the unit is not used for prolonged periods of time.

SERIAL NUMBER

This is the serial number of the mixing console.

MIC

The balanced XLR input connects to microphones, DI boxes and multicores. (Multicores are cables that have multiple cores and which run from the so-called stagebox to the mixer.)

Connect the microphone and mute all mixer outputs

before turning on the phantom power to avoid noise when the microphone is turned on. Please wait for about one minute when switching on the mic until the voltage is stable. Only then turn on the input amplification.

Caution! Never use unbalanced XLR connectors (pins 1 and 3 interconnected) on the MIC input jacks, if you want to use phantom power.

+48 V

Phantom power is used for operating a capacitor microphone. A control LED lights up next to the switch when the phantom power supply is active. Additional control LEDs are located in each Trim section of the mixer's channels. As a rule, dynamic microphones can still be used with phantom power, provided they are wired in a balanced configuration. In case of doubt, contact the microphone manufacturer!

LINE

This is a ¼" jack connector which connects to line-level signal sources (for example, keyboards, CD players and wireless microphone receivers). The input is balanced (TRS connector) but can also be used with unbalanced connectors (TS connector).

INSERT

The INS(ert) connector (¼" stereo jack connector) is used to connect to external signal processors. Here you can hook up a compressor, noise gate or equalizer to process the signal of a single channel. The insert jack is placed before the fader, EQ and aux send. Please use an insert cable to connect to the insert point.

DIRECT OUT

This ¼" mono jack connector is a direct output which taps the signal after the channel fader to route it to a multi-track recorder, for example. By modifying the circuit board in the unit, the signal can also be tapped pre-fader (see chapter 6).
