16 XENYX QX1202USB/QX1002USB XENYX QX1202USB/QX1002USB Controls (EN) Step 2: Controls This chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be discussed in detail. (1) MIC - Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone input via the XLR connector and also features switchable +48 V phantom power supply for condenser microphones. The XENYX preamps provide undistorted and noisefree gain as is typically known only from costly outboard preamps. (2) LINE IN - Each mono input also features a balanced line input on a ¼" connector. Unbalanced devices (mono jacks) can also be connected to these inputs. Please remember that you can only use either the microphone or the line input of a channel at any one time. You can never use both simultaneously! (3) GAIN - Use the GAIN control to adjust the input gain. This control should always be turned fully counterclockwise whenever you connect or disconnect a signal source to one of the inputs. (4) EQ - All mono input channels include a 3-band equalizer. All bands provide boost or cut of up to 15 dB. In the central position, the equalizer is inactive. (5) LOW CUT - In addition, the mono channels are equipped with a steep LOW CUT filter designed to eliminate unwanted low-frequency signal components. (6) FX - FX 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 stereo channels. Each FX send is mono and features up to +15 dB gain. In the QX1002USB/QX1202USB, the FX send is routed directly to the built-in effects processor. To make sure that the effects processor receives an input signal, you shouldn't turn this control all the way to the left (-∞). (7) PAN - The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal within 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. (8) LEVEL - The LEVEL control determines the level of the channel signal in the main mix. (9) CLIP - The CLIP LED's of the mono channels illuminate when the input signal is driven too high, which could cause distortion. If this happens, use the GAIN control to reduce the preamp level until the LED does not light anymore. (10) LINE IN - Each stereo channel has two balanced line level inputs on ¼" jacks for left and right channels. If only the jack marked "L" (left) is used, the channel operates in mono. The stereo channels are designed to handle typical line level signals. Both inputs will also accept unbalanced jacks. (11) FX - The FX sends of the stereo channels function similar to those of the mono channels. However, since the FX send buses are both mono, a mono sum is first taken from the stereo input before it is sent to the FX bus. (12) BAL - The BAL(ANCE) control determines the levels of left and right input signals relative to each other before both signals are then routed to the main stereo mix bus. If a channel is operated in mono via the left line input, this control has the same function as the PAN control used in the mono channels. (13) +4/-10 - The stereo inputs of the XENYX QX1002USB and QX1202USB 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). (14) FX TO MAIN - The FX TO MAIN control feeds the effects signal into the main mix. If the control is turned all the way counterclockwise, no effects signal is present in the sum signal of the mixing console. (15) FX SEND - The FX SEND connector outputs the signal you picked up from the individual channels using the FX controls. You can connect this to the input of an external effects device in order to process the FX bus' master signal. Once an effects mix is created, the processed signal can then be routed from the effects device outputs back into a stereo input. 17 Quick Start Guide (16) PHONES/CONTROL ROOM - The stereo (25) LEVEL INDICATOR - The high-precision PHONES jack (at the top of the connector 4-segment display accurately displays the panel) is where you connect headphones. relevant signal level. 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. (26) SIGNAL and CLIP LED - The SIGNAL LED on the effects module shows the presence of a signal whose level is high enough. This LED should always be on. However, make sure that the CLIP LED lights up only sporadically. If it is lit constantly, you are overdriving the (17) MAIN MIX - The MAIN OUT connectors are effects processor, which leads to unpleasant unbalanced mono jacks. The main mix signal distortion. If this occurs, turn the FX controls appears here at a level of 0 dBu. The MAIN MIX down somewhat. fader adjusts the volume of these outputs. (27) PROGRAM - The PROGRAM control has two (18) CD/TAPE INPUT - The CD/TAPE INPUTs functions: by turning the PROGRAM control, are used to bring an external signal source you dial the number of an effect. The number (e.g. CD player, tape deck, etc.) into the of the preset you just dialed up blinks in the console. They can also be used as a standard display. To confirm your selection, press the stereo line input, so the output of a second PROGRAM control; the blinking stops. XENYX or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can be connected. (28) COMP - This knob adjusts the amount of compression effect on the channel. (19) CD/TAPE OUTPUT - These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT and carry the main mix signal (unbalanced). Connect the CD/TAPE OUTPUT to the inputs of your (29) PHANTOM - Press this button to send +48 V of phantom power to the XLR inputs for use with condenser microphones. recording device. The output level is adjusted (30) USB CONNECTOR - Connect your mixer to a via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader. computer using a standard USB cable. (20) USB/2-TR TO PHONES/CTRL RM button routes USB/2-Track playback to PHONES/CTRL ROOM. (21) USB/2-TR TO MAIN MIX button routes USB/2-Track playback to MAIN MIX and mutes the 2-TR OUT/USB recording signal. (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). (31) AC POWER IN - Connect the included power cable here. ! The mixer cannot be bus-powered via USB. Always use the included power adapter to supply power to the mixer. (23) +48 V - The +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.
