13 XENYX X1222USB User Manual FOOTSWITCH Connect a standard footswitch to the footswitch connector; use this to switch the effects processor on and off. A flashing dot at the bottom of the display indicates if the effects processor is muted via the footswitch. ◊ In chapter 4.2, you will find an illustration showing how to connect your footswitch correctly. ¼" TS footswitch connector strain relief clamp sleeve tip sleeve pole 1/ground Fig. 3.3: Digital Effects module and XPQ Surround Function control elements LEVEL The LED level meter on the effects module should display a sufficiently high level. Take care to ensure that the clip LED only lights up at peak levels. If it is lit constantly, you are overloading the effects processor and this could cause unpleasant distortion. The FX SEND fader determines the level that reaches the effects module. PROGRAM You can select the effect preset by turning the PROGRAM control. The display flashes the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, press the button; the flashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset using the footswitch. tip pole 2 The footswitch connects both poles momentarily Fig. 4.1: ¼" TS footswitch connector 4.2.1 Audio connections Please use commercial RCA cables to wire the 2-track inputs and outputs. You can, of course, also connect unbalanced devices to the balanced input/ outputs. Use either mono plugs, or ensure that ring and sleeve are bridged inside the stereo plug (or pins 1 & 3 in the case of XLR connectors). ◊ Caution! You must never use unbalanced XLR connectors (pins 1 and 3 connected) on the MIC inputs if you intend to use the phantom power supply. 3.2 XPQ surround function The surround function can be enabled/disabled with the XPQ TO MAIN switch. This is a built-in effect that widens the stereo width, thus making the sound more lively and transparent. Use the SURROUND control to determine the intensity of this effect. 4. Installation 4.1 Rack mounting The packaging of your mixing console contains two 19" rack mount brackets which can be installed on the side panels of the console. Before you can attach the rack mount brackets to the mixing console, you need to remove the screws holding the left and right side panels. Use these screws to fasten the two brackets onto the console, being careful to note that each bracket fits a specific side. With the rack mount brackets installed, you can mount the mixing console in a commercially available 19" rack. Be sure to allow for proper air flow around the unit, and do not place the mixing console close to radiators or power amps, so as to avoid overheating. ◊ Only use the screws holding the mixing console side panels to fasten the 19" rack mounts.
