At -10 dBV (homerecording level), the input is more sensitive (requires less level to drive it) than at +4 dBu (studio level). unwanted low-frequency signal components. (14) STEREO AUX RETURN - Q802USB only: (6) FX (Q802USB/Q1002USB/Q1202USB only) - FX sends (or AUX sends) enable you to feed signals via a variable control from one or more channels and sum these signals to a bus. The bus appears at the console's FX send output and can be fed from there to an external effects device. The return from the effects unit is then brought back into the console on the aux return connectors (Q802USB) or normal channel inputs. Each FX send is mono and features up to +15 dB gain. 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. If only the left connector is used, the AUX RETURN automatically operates in mono. Use the AUX (7) PAN - The PAN control determines the RETURN control to determine how much of the position of the channel signal within effects signal is sent to the main mix. the stereo image. This control features a constant-power characteristic, which means the signal is always maintained at a constant level, irrespective of position in the stereo panorama. (15) 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 (8) LEVEL - The LEVEL control determines the effects unit via the FX SEND ouput. Use the level of the channel signal in the main mix. FX SEND control of the main section to adjust the overall send level (Q1002USB and Q1202USB only). (16) PHONES/CTRL 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/ CTRL ROOM control adjusts the level of both headphones and main monitor outputs. The Q502USB is not equipped with control room outputs. (26) COMP - This knob adjusts the amount of compression effect on the channel. (27) PHANTOM - Press this knob to send +48 V of phantom power to the XLR inputs for use with condenser microphones. The Q502USB supplies +15 V of phantom power. (28) USB/2-TR TO PHONES/CTRL RM - button routes USB/2-Track playback to PHONES/CTRL ROOM.

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. The mixer cannot be bus-powered via USB. Always use the included power adapter to supply power to the mixer. (19) 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/Q502USB). (20) USB/2-TR to MAIN - When pressed, this button sends the audio from the USB and 2-TRACK inputs to the main mix (Q502USB only). (21) USB/2-TR to PHONES - When pressed, this button sends the audio from the USB and 2-TRACK inputs to the PHONES jack (Q502USB only). (22) FX TO CTRL ROOM - If you want to monitor only the FX send signal in your headphones or monitor speaker(s), press the FX TO CTRL switch. This mutes the main mix signal while routing the FX SEND output to the monitor(s). The XENYX Q802USB and Q502USB do not feature this switch. (23) +48 V - The red +48 V LED lights up when phantom power is on. The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power supply on the XLR connectors of all mono channels. (24) POWER - The POWER LED indicates that the console is powered on. (25) LEVEL INDICATOR - The high-precision 4-segment display accurately displays the relevant signal level.
