Important Safety Instructions

CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Terminals marked with this symbol carry electrical current of sufficient magnitude to constitute risk of electric shock. Use only high-quality professional speaker cables with ¼” TS or twist-locking plugs pre-installed.
All other installation or modification should be performed only by qualified personnel.
This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure – voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock.
**This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. Please read the manual.
Caution
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover (or the rear section). No user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Interface - Controls 1

This chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be discussed in detail.

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 (802S). The preamps provide undistorted and noise-free gain as is typically known only from costly outboard preamps.
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!
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.
EQUALIZER – All mono input channels include a 3-band equalizer, except for the 502S, which is equipped with a 2-band EQ. All bands provide boost or cut of up to 15 dB. In the central position, the equalizer is inactive.
FX (802S 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 normal channel inputs or the simplified channels 7 & 8 on the 802S. Each FX send is mono and features up to +15 dB gain.
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.
LEVEL – The LEVEL control determines the level of the channel signal in the main mix. (8) CLIP – The CLIP LEDs 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.
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. The last pair of LINE IN channels (4 & 5 for 502S and 7 & 8

Step 3: Getting started
To correctly set the gains of the channels, first set the LEVEL controls of the input channels to their center positions (0 dB). Then use the GAIN controls to increase the input amplification until signal peaks show 0 dB on the level meter.
When recording to digital recorders, the recorder’s peak meter should not go into overload. While analog recorders can be overloaded to some extent, creating only a certain amount of distortion (which is common and often desirable), digital recorders distort quickly when overloaded.
In addition, digital distortion is not only undesirable, but also renders your recording completely useless.
The peak meters of your XENYX display the level virtually independent of frequency. A recording level of 0 dB is recommended for all signal types.
