Introduction1.
XENYX Mic Preamps
The microphone channels feature high-end
XENYX Mic Preamps that compare well with costly
outboard preamps in terms of sound quality and
dynamics and boast the following features:
130 dB dynamic range for an incredible amount of •
headroom
A bandwidth ranging from below 10 Hz to over 200 kHz •
for crystal-clear reproduction of even the finest nuances
The extremely low-noise and distortion-free circuitry •
guarantees absolutely natural and transparent signal
reproduction
They are perfectly matched to every conceivable •
microphone with up to 60 dB gain and +48 volt phantom
power supply
They enable you to use the greatly extended dynamic •
range of your 24-bit/192-kHz HD recorder to the full,
thereby maintaining optimal audio quality
“British EQ”
The equalizers used for the XENYX Series are based on
the legendary circuitry of top-notch consoles made in
Britain, which are renowned throughout the world for their
incredibly warm and musical sound character. Even with
extreme gain settings these equalizers ensure outstanding
audio properties.
CAUTION! !
We should 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 control and PHONES control in the main section
fully counter-clockwise before you switch on the unit.
Always be careful to set appropriate volume levels.
Important notes concerning installation
The sound quality may diminish within the range of ◊
powerful broadcasting stations and high-frequency
sources. Increase the distance between the transmitter
and the device and use shielded cables for all
connections.
General mixing console functions1.1
A mixing console fulfils three main functions:
• Signal processing: Preamplification, level adjustment,
mixing of effects, frequency equalization.
• Signal distribution: Summing of signals to the
aux sends for effects processing and monitor mix,
distribution to one or several recording tracks, power
amp(s), control room and 2-track outputs.
Mix:• Setting the volume level, frequency distribution
and positioning of the individual signals in the stereo
field, level control of the total mix to match the recording
devices/crossover/power amplifier(s). All other mixer
functions can be included in this main function.
The interface of BEHRINGER mixing consoles is optimized for
these tasks enabling you to easily keep track of the signal path.
The user’s manual1.2
The user’s manual is designed to give you both an overview
of the controls, as well as detailed information on how to use
them. In order to help you understand the links between the
controls, we have arranged them in groups according to their
function. The illustrations at the beginning of each chapter
show the controls described in each respective chapter.
The block diagram supplied with the mixing console ◊
gives you an overview of the connections between the
inputs and outputs, as well as the associated switches
and controls.
For the moment, just try and trace the signal path from the
microphone input to the FX send connector. Don’t be put off
by the huge range of possibilities; it’s easier than you think! If
you look at the overview of the controls at the same time, you’ll
be able to quickly familiarize yourself with your mixing console
and you’ll soon be making the most of all its many possibilities.
If you need to know more about specific issues, please visit
our website at http://www.behringer.com, where you’ll
find explanations of (for example) effects and dynamics
applications.
Before you get started1.3
Shipment1.3.1
Your mixing console was carefully packed in the factory to
guarantee safe transport. Nevertheless, we recommend that you
carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of
physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.
If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to us, ◊
but notify your dealer and the shipping company
immediately, otherwise claims for damage or
replacement may not be granted.
Initial operation1.3.2
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for
cooling purposes and to avoid over-heating please do not
place your mixing console on high-temperature devices
such as radiators or power amps. The console is connected
to the mains via the supplied cable. The console meets
the required safety standards. Blown fuses must only be
replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.
Never connect the XENYX to the power supply unit ◊
when the latter is connected to the mains! First
connect the power supply unit to the console, then
connect the power supply unit to the mains.
