10 XENYX X1204USB/1204USB User Manual 2.4 Rear view of 1204USB/X1204USB 2.4.1 Main mix outputs, Alt 3-4 outputs and control room outputs 2.4.2 Voltage supply, phantom power and fuse Fig. 2.16: Voltage supply and fuse Fig. 2.14: Main mix outputs, Alt 3-4 outputs and control room outputs MAIN OUTPUTS The MAIN outputs carry the MAIN MIX signal and are on balanced XLR connectors with a nominal level of +4 dBu. ALT 3-4 OUTPUTS The ALT 3-4 outputs are unbalanced and carry the signals of the channels that you have assigned to this group using the MUTE switch. This can be used to route a subgroup to a further mixing console for example, or or it could be used as a recording output working in tandem with the main output. This means you could record to four tracks simultaneously. The icing on the cake, so to speak, is that you could connect Y-cables to these four outputs and then connect your 8-track recorder in such a way that you have 2 x 4 tracks (e.g. channel 1 feeds track 1 and track 2, etc.). In the first recording pass, you record on tracks 1, 3, 5 and 7 and in the second pass, on tracks 2, 4, 6 and 8. CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS The control room output is normally connected to the monitor system in the control room and provides the stereo mix or, when required, the solo signal. USB INPUT/OUTPUT Fig. 2.15 USB input/output The XENYX mixer line has built-in USB connectivity, allowing stereo signals to be sent to and from the mixer and a computer. The audio sent from the mixer to a computer is identical to the MAIN MIX. Audio being sent to the mixer from a computer can be routed to the main mix with the 2-TR/USB TO MAIN button. Connect the USB type B plug into the USB jack on the mixer, and the other end into a free USB port on your computer. There are no required drivers, but we recommend that PC users install the included ASIO driver. The driver can also be downloaded from behringer.com. FUSE HOLDER The console is connected to the mains via the cable supplied which meets the required safety standards. Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating. IEC MAINS RECEPTACLE The mains connection is via a cable with IEC mains connector. An appropriate mains cable is supplied with the equipment. POWER Use the POWER switch to power up the mixing console. PHANTOM The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power supply for the XLR connectors of the mono channels which is required to operate condenser microphones. The red +48 V LED lights up when phantom power is on. As a rule, dynamic microphones can still be used with phantom power switched on, provided that they are wired in a balanced configuration. In case of doubt, contact the microphone manufacturer! ◊ After the phantom power supply has been switched on, do not connect microphones to the mixer (or the stagebox/wallbox). Connect the microphones before you switch phantom power on. In addition, the monitor/PA loudspeakers should be muted before activating the phantom power supply. After switching on, wait approx. one minute to allow the system to stabilize. ◊ Caution! You must never use unbalanced XLR connectors (PIN 1 and 3 connected) on the MIC input connectors if you want to use the phantom power supply. SERIAL NUMBER Please note the important information on the serial number given in chapter 1.3.3.
