5.1.2Channel fader, pan control, mute control, etc.PAN

The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal in the stereo mix as well as the subgroup to which the channel signal is routed.

MUTE

The MUTE switch mutes the channel. This means that the channel signal has been removed from the main mix and subgroups. At the same time the FX, monitor and aux paths of the respective channel are muted as well. The corresponding MUTE LED indicates that the channel has been muted.

SOLO

Use the solo function to listen in on a channel. Press the channel's SOLO switch to hear the signal on your headphones. Simultaneously, the monitor meter 1/2 switches to the solo signal, allowing you to level the signal correctly (see chapter X). The signal to be listened in on is tapped either before (PFL, mono) or behind (AFL, stereo) the channel fader and the pan control (depending on the state of the PFL/AFL switch. The corresponding LED lights up when the solo function

is activated.

CLIP

The CLIP LED lights up as soon as the channel's level is too high. In this case, reduce the channel's input amplification with the TRIM control.

SIG

The SIG LED lights up when a channel's signal is higher than -20 dB. The LED is not affected by the fader. The signals are indicated even when the fader is pulled down and the channel is muted.

Fader

The channel fader adjusts the level of the channel signal as part of the main mix (or submix).

1-2, 3-4, MIX

The routing switch routes the signal to the respective subgroup or the main mix or both. The XENYX features 4 subgroups. The PAN control determines the group to which the signal is routed (fully left: Sub 1 or 3, fully right: Sub 2 or 4).

5.2 Stereo channels

+48 V

This control LED lights up when the phantom power is activated. The switch is located on the rear panel of the unit.

MIC TRIM

The MIC TRIM control adjusts amplification of the microphone input. The amplification ranges between 0 and +60 dB.

Be sure to set this control fully counter-clockwise before you connect or disconnect a signal source to or from one of the inputs.

80 Hz

Press the 80 Hz switch to activate the high-pass filter which blends out low-frequency noise (-3 dB at 80 Hz, 18 dB/octave).

LINE TRIM

The LINE TRIM control adjusts the amplification of the LINE input, ranging between -20 and +20 dB. When centered (at 12 o'clock), the line signal is neither boosted nor cut.

5.2.1 Equalizer stereo channels

The stereo channels provide 4-band equalization. Each frequency band can be boosted and cut up to 15 dB and has a flat response when the controls are in center position.

HIGH

The HIGH control of the EQ section adjusts the high-frequency range of the respective channel. This is a shelving filter which boosts and cuts the frequencies above 12 kHz.

HIGH MID

The HIGH MID control adjusts the mid frequency range. This is a peak filter which boosts and cuts the frequencies centered at 3 kHz.

LOW MID

The LOW MID control adjusts the mid frequency range. This is a peak filter which boosts and cuts the frequencies centered at 300 Hz.

LOW

The LOW control adjusts the low-frequency range. This is a shelving filter which boosts and cuts the frequencies below 80 Hz.

EQ

The EQ push-button switch activates the equalizer. Toggle the EQ to give you a quick comparison between unprocessed and processed signal.

5.2.2 Stereo channel FX/MON/AUX send paths

The aux and FX paths of the stereo channels work in principle the same way as the mono channels. Since the aux buses are mono, the stereo signal needs to be converted to a mono signal before being routed to these buses.

5.2.3 Channel fader, pan control, mute switch, etc.BAL(ANCE)

The BAL(ANCE) control has the same function as the PAN control on the mono channels. It determines the relative volume of the left and right input signals before they are routed to the stereo main mix bus (or to two subgroups).

MUTE

Use the MUTE switch to mute the channel signal. The MUTE LED is illuminated when the channel is muted

SOLO

Press the SOLO switch to hear the signal on your headphones and simultaneously see it on the monitor display 1/2). The corresponding LED lights up when the solo function is activated.
