XENYX 1002

Sublimely musical British EQ

The British consoles of the 1960s and
‘70s changed the sound of rock and roll—
without them the British Invasion might not
have happened. Those legendary mixing
desks soon became the envy of engineers
and producers all over the world. The 3-band
EQ on the XENYX 1002B mixer is based
on that very same circuitry, allowing you
to imbue signals with incredible warmth
and detailed musical character. Even when
applied generously, these equalizers exhibit
sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality.

Don’t let the small footprint fool you—
the XENYX 1002B is built to the same
exacting standards as our larger-format
XENYX mixers and is housed in an equally
rugged steel chassis. It is the ideal choice
for keyboardists who need to mix down
multiple instruments or sound modules for
live or recording applications. Singers who
perform with backing tracks, as well as
instrumentalist/singers (acoustic guitar
or piano bar, for example) nd the
XENYX 1002B indispensable for patching
into “house” systems.

Field Operation

Its compact size and exible input
scheme also make it the natural choice
of sports announcers for calling play-by-play
game action. Likewise, radio and
TV reporters especially like the XENYX 1002B
for its ease-of-use, remarkable delity and
rugged reliability. And the 9 V battery option
allows newscasters and correspondents to
use the 1002B in remote locations where
power is hard to come by. (Two 9 V alkaline
batteries are required for normal operation,
three for phantom power).
