1. Introduction

The XENYX Series represents a milestone in the development of mixing console
technology. With the new XENYX microphone preamps including phantom power
as an option, balanced line inputs and a powerful eects section, themixing
consoles in the XENYX Series are optimally equipped for live and studio
applications. Owing to state-of-the-art circuitry your XENYX console produces
a warm analog sound that is unrivalled. With the addition of the latest digital
technology these best-in-class consoles combine the advantages of both analog
and digital technology.

The microphone channels feature high-end XENYX Mic Preamps that compare
well with costly outboard preamps in terms of sound quality and dynamics and
boast the following features:

• 130 dB dynamic range for an incredible amount of headroom

• A bandwidth ranging from below 10 Hz to over 200 kHz for crystal-clear

reproduction of even the nest nuances

• The extremely low-noise and distortion-free circuitry guarantees absolutely

natural and transparent signal reproduction

• They are perfectly matched to every conceivable microphone with up to

60dB gain and +48 volt phantom power supply

• They enable you to use the greatly extended dynamic range of your

24-bit/192-kHz HD recorder to the fullest, thereby maintaining optimal
audioquality

“British EQ”

The equalizers used for the XENYX Series are based on the legendary circuitry of
top-notch consoles made in Britain, which are renowned throughout the world
for their incredibly warm and musical sound character. Even with extreme gain
settings these equalizers ensure outstanding audio properties.

KLARK TEKNIK FX Processor

Additionally, your XENYX mixing console has a KLARK TEKNIK eects processor
with 24-bit A/D and D/A converters included, which gives you 100 presets
producing rst-class reverb, delay and modulation eects plus numerous
multi-eec ts in excellent audio quality.

 Caution!

◊ We should like to draw your attention to the fac t that extreme volumes

may damage your hearing and/or your headphones or loudspeakers.
Turn the MAIN MIX control and PHONES control in the main section fully
counterclockwise before you switch on the unit. Always be careful to
set appropriate volume levels.

1.1 General mixing console functions

A mixing console fulls three main functions:

• Signal processing:

Preamplication
Microphones convert sound waves into voltage that has to be amplied
several-fold; then, this voltage is turned into sound that is reproduced
in a loudspeaker. Because micro phone capsules are very delicate in their
construction, output voltage is very low and therefore susceptible to
interference. Therefore, mic signal voltage is amplied directly at the mixer
input to a higher signal level that is less prone to interference. This higher,
interference-safe signal level has to be achieved through amplication using
an amplier of the highest quality in order to amplify the signal and add
as little noise to it as possible. The XENYX Mic Preamp performs this role
beautifully, leaving no traces of noise or sound coloration. Interferencethat
could take place at the preamplication level could aect signal quality
and purity, and would then be passed on to all other devices, resulting in
inaccurate sounding program during recording or playback.

Level-setting
Signals fed into the mixer using a DI-box (Direct Injection) or the output of a
sound card or a keyboard, often have to be adjusted to the operating level of
your mixing console.

Frequency response correction
Using the equalizers found in each channel strip, you can simply, quickly and
eectively adjust the way a signal sounds.

• Signal distribution:

Individual, processed signals from the channel strips are compiled on
busses and are fed into the main section for fur ther processing. Connections
for recording equipment, power ampliers, headphones as well as RCA
connectors are available here. The mix is sent to the internal FX processors or
external eects processors via aux sends and returns. Similarly, a mix can be
created for the musicians on the stage (monitor mix).

• Mix:

All other mixing console functions fall under this vital category. Creating a
mix means primarily adjusting the volume levels of individual instruments
and voices to one another as well as giving them the appropriate weight
within the overall frequency spectrum. Likewise, you’ll have to sensibly
spread individual voices across the stereo image of a signal. At the end of
this process, adjusting the level of the entire mix to other equipment in the
signal path is required (e. g. recorder/crossover/amplier).

The interface of BEHRINGER mixing consoles is optimized for these tasks,
enabling you to easily keep track of the signal path.

1.2 Before you get started

1.2.1 Shipment

Your mixing console was carefully packed in the factory to guarantee safe
transport. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the
packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage that may have
occurred during transit.

◊ If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to us, but notify your

dealer and the shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for
damage or replacement may not be granted.

◊ To assure optimal protection of your XENYX during use or transport,

we recommend utilizing a carrying case.

◊ Please always use the original packaging to avoid damage due to

storage or shipping.

◊ Never let unsupervised children play with the XENYX or with

its packaging.

◊ Please dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally-

friendly fashion.

1.2.2 Initial operation

Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling purposes and to
avoid overheating please do not place your mixing console on high-temperature
equipment such as radiators or power amps.

2. Control Elements and Connectors

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

2.1 Mono channels

◊ Never connect the XENYX to the power supply unit when the latter is

connected to the mains! First connect the power supply unit to the
console, then connect the power supply unit to the mains.

◊ Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection.

For your own safety, never remove or disable the ground
conductor from the unit or on the AC power cord. The unit should
always be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection.

◊ When installing the product, ensure the appliance coupler or power

cord is easily accessible for disconnecting the unit from mains.

MIC

Each mono input channel oers 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 noise-free
gain as is typically known only from costly outboard preamps.

◊ Please mute your playback system before you activate the phantom

power supply to prevent switch-on thumps being directed to
your loudspeakers. Please also note the instructions in chapter

2.4 “Main section”.

LINE IN

Each mono input also features a balanced line input on a ¼"connector.
Unbalanced devices (mono connectors) 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!

Thank you for your cooperation!
