XENYX — Premium 16/24/32-Input 4-Bus Live Mixer with
XENYX Mic Preamps and British EQs
Introducing a bold new line of
live sound mixers that combine
professional features, dramatic styling
and astounding value. XL Series’
intuitive layout and color-coded control
interface is designed to make them
easier to use. We’ve added the features
you’ve been asking for and then some.
And of course the XL3200, XL2400 and
XL1600 are build around our proven
XENYX high-headroom, low noise mic
preamps and warm, musical EQ.
The Ins and Outs
Some manufacturers can be sneaky
when they tell you how many inputs
their mixers have, counting features
like CD/TAPE IN as an input. But the
XL series really gives you 8 (XL1600),
16 (XL2400) and 24 (XL3200) mono
channels and four stereo channels
(with two ¼" inputs apiece—an
additional 8 line-level inputs (which
can also be used for 4 additional
mono mic channels), making it easy
to accommodate a wide variety of
live performance confi gurations.
Depending on which XL mixer you
choose, that means you can connect
up to 8, 16 or 24 microphones (or
other mono instruments) and up to
four stereo instruments (keyboards,
for example). You also get four buses,
allowing you to assign multiple
channels—say all the mics on a drum

kit or all the backup singers’ mics—to a
single fader.
Best of all, you don’t need a black belt in
engineering to operate the XL series. To get
started, assign all mics and instruments to
their channels by connecting them to the
corresponding jacks on the back panel. Now,
get ready to quickly become acquainted with
the XL series’ incredibly user-friendly design.
Plenty of channels, all in living color
All dials on the XL series are assigned to
colors that not only allow you to easily locate
each function, but to also quickly identify
corresponding faders.
At the top of each mono channel strip, you’ll
fi nd a TRIM dial (white) for adjusting input gain
and an 80 Hz switch that can eliminate unwanted
infrasonics such as mic-handling noise.
Each mono channel has a 4-band EQ (High,
High Mid, Low Mid, Low). High Mid and Low
Mid dials (blue) are each paired with a FREQ
control (lighter blue) that allows you to select
the frequency boosted or cut. Directly below the
EQ, there’s an EQ switch allowing you to switch
between processed and unprocessed signals.
What the heck is “British EQ?”
British EQ is a smashing thing to have on
your side when you start reaching for those
channel equalization knobs at a live concert or
in the studio.

The EQ’s on British consoles from the
60s and 70s are what many engineers
believe does their sound the best justice.
When it comes to tweaking your sound,
