7 XENYX Q1202USB/Q1002USB/Q802USB/Q502USB User Manual 2.3 Connector panel and main section 2.3.1 Send/return effects path Fig. 2.7: FX send/return connectors Fig. 2.8: FX send/return controls STEREO AUX RETURN Q802USB 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 Fig. 2.10: Monitor control and main mix fader 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. The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control adjusts the level of both headphones and main monitor outputs. The Q502USB is not equipped with control room outputs. 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 Q802USB and Q502USB mixing consoles feature a rotary control for this purpose. The FX SEND output (does not apply for Q502USB) 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 (Q1002USB and Q1202USB only). 2.3.2 Monitor and main mix 2.3.3 2-Track connectors 2-TRACK INPUT The 2-TRACK INPUT s 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. Fig. 2.9: Monitor/main mix connectors 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. 2-TRACK OUTPUT These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT and carry the main mix signal (unbalanced). Connect the 2-TRACK OUTPUT to the inputs of your recording device. The output level is adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader or rotary control (Q802USB and Q502USB).

STEREO AUX RETURN
Q802USB 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 Q502USB) 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
(Q1002USB and Q1202USB only).
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. The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control adjusts the level of
both headphones and main monitor outputs. The Q502USB is not equipped with
control room outputs.
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 Q802USB and Q502USB mixing consoles feature a rotary
control for this purpose.
2.3.3
2-Track connectors
2-TRACK INPUT
The
2-TRACK INPUT
s 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.
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.
2-TRACK OUTPUT
These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT and carry the main mix
signal (unbalanced). Connect the 2-TRACK OUTPUT to the inputs of your recording
device. The output level is adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader or
rotary control (Q802USB and Q502USB).
