8 XENYX 1202/1002/802/502 User Manual +4/-10 The stereo inputs of the XENYX 1202 and 1002 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). 2.3 Connector panel and main section 2.3.1 Send/return effects path Fig. 2.9: Monitor/main mix connectors Fig. 2.7: FX send/return connectors MAIN MIX The MAIN OUT connectors are unbalanced mono jacks. The main mix signal appears here at a level of 0 dBu. The MAIN MIX fader adjusts the volume of these outputs. The XENYX 802 and 502 mixing consoles feature a rotary control for this purpose. Fig. 2.8: FX send/return controls AUX RETURN 802 only: the STEREO AUX RETURN connectors are used to bring the output of the external effects device (whose input is derived from the aux sends) back into the console. You can instead use these connectors as additional inputs, but any effects device will then have to be brought back into the console via a normal stereo channel. This does, however, give you the ability to use the channel EQ on the effects return signal if you wish. ◊ When using a stereo channel as effects return path, the FX control of the relevant channel should generally be turned fully down to avoid undesirable feedback. If only the left connector is used, the AUX RETURN automatically operates in mono. Use the AUX RETURN control to determine how much of the effects signal is sent to the main mix. FX SEND The FX SEND output (does not apply for 502) should be connected to the input of an external effects unit. The post-fader FX signal you created using the input channel FX controls is sent to the effects unit via the FX SEND ouput. Use the FX SEND control of the main section to adjust the overall send level (1002 and 1202 only). Fig. 2.10: Monitor control and main mix fader 2.3.3 2-Track connectors 2-TRACK INPUT The 2-TRACK INPUTs are used to bring an external signal source (e.g. CD player, tape deck, etc.) into the console. They can also be used as a standard stereo line input, so the output of a second XENYX or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can be connected. 2.3.2 Monitor and main mix PHONES/CONTROL ROOM The stereo PHONES jack (at the top of the connector panel) is where you connect headphones. The unbalanced CTRL ROOM OUT jacks carry the summed effects and main mix signals, as well as soloed channel signals. The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control adjusts the level of both headphones and main monitor outputs. The 502 is not equipped with control room outputs. Fig. 2.11: 2-Track input/output Alternatively the line or tape output of a hi-fi amplifier with source selection switch could also be hooked up here, allowing you to easily listen to additional sources.
