15 XENYX XL3200/XL2400/XL1600 User Manual 5.5 Subgroups SIG The SIG LED lights up when a signal is routed to the subgroup whose level is higher than -20 dB. ◊ The signal and clip LEDs are not affected by the fader. The signals are indicated even when the subgroup fader is pulled down. Fader The subgroup faders adjust the volume level of the subgroup signal at the subgroup output. If the MAIN switch is pressed, you can also adjust the subgroup's volume level in the main mix. 5.6 Further functions of the master section The XENYX provides 4 subgroups which allow you to feed multiple channels to mono or stereo mixdowns. Their volume level can be adjusted using the subgroup faders. For example, create a subgroup with all vocal channels or drum signals and adjust the volume using the subgroup fader. This way you can keep track and, at the same time, can process the signal with a compressor via the subgroup insert. Additionally, you can also use the subgroup outputs as sends for a multitrack recorder. PAN The PAN control adjusts the position within the stereo image. MAIN The MAIN switch routes the subgroup signal to the main mix. With the PAN control you can adjust the signal to the left side of the stereo image (PAN turned fully left), to the right side of the stereo image (PAN turned fully right) or to both sides (PAN in center position) of the stereo main mix. For example, when creating a stereo submix with the subgroups 1 and 2, group 1 should be adjusted to the left and group 2 to the right side of the main mix in order to maintain a balanced stereo image. In case you have created a mono submix with only one subgroup, be sure to center the PAN control so that the signal is not only heard on one side. SOLO The SOLO switch routes the subgroup signal to the AFL bus (Solo In Place) or PFL bus (Pre Fader Listen), so that you can monitor the subgroup signal without affecting the main or sub output signals. The signal to be monitored is taken either pre (PFL, mono) or post-subgroup fader (Solo, stereo), depending on the position of the SOLO/PFL switch. The SOLO LED illuminates when the SOLO switch is pressed. CLIP The CLIP LED lights up as soon as the subgroup signal's level is too high. In this case, pull down the channels' faders routed to this group. 5.6.1 Talkback The talkback function of the XENYX allows you to communicate with people on stage. The talkback signal can be routed to the different bus outputs. MIC Here you can plug in the microphone for talkback use. LEVEL The LEVEL control adjusts the volume level of the talkback signal.
