2.3.1 Send/return e ects path

STEREO AUX RETURN
Q802USB only: the STEREO AUX RETURN connectors are used to bring the
output of the external e ects device (whose input is derived from the aux sends)
back into the console. You can instead use these connectors as additional inputs,
but any e ects device will then have to be brought back into the console via a
normal stereo channel. This does, however, give you the ability to use the channel
EQ on the e ects return signal if you wish.
◊
When using a stereo channel as effects return path, the FX control of
the relevant channel should generally be turned fully down to avoid
undesirable feedback.
If only the left connector is used, the AUX RETURN automatically operates in
mono. Use the AUX RETURN control to determine how much of the e ects signal
is sent to the main mix.
FX SEND
The FX SEND output (does not apply for Q502USB) should be connected to the
input of an external e ects unit. The post-fader FX signal you created using
the input channel FX controls is sent to the e ects unit via the FX SEND ouput.
Use the FX SEND control of the main section to adjust the overall send level
(Q1002USB and Q1202USB only).
2.3.2 Monitor and main mix

PHONES/CONTROL ROOM
The stereo PHONES jack (at the top of the connector panel) is where you connect
headphones. The unbalanced CTRL ROOM OUT jacks carry the summed e ects
and main mix signals. The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control adjusts the level of
both headphones and main monitor outputs. The Q502USB is not equipped with
control room outputs.
MAIN MIX
The MAIN OUT connectors are unbalanced mono jacks. The main mix signal
appears here at a level of 0 dBu. The MAIN MIX fader adjusts the volume of these
outputs. The XENYX Q802USB and Q502USB mixing consoles feature a rotary
control for this purpose.
2.3.3 2-Track connectors
2-TRACK INPUT
The 2-TRACK INPUT s are used to bring an external signal source (e.g. CD player,
tape deck, etc.) into the console. They can also be used as a standard stereo line
input, so the output of a second XENYX or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can
be connected.
Fig. 2.11: 2-TRACK input/output
Alternatively the line or tape output of a hi- ampli er with source selection
switch could also be hooked up here, allowing you to easily listen to
additional sources.
2-TRACK OUTPUT
These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT and carry the main mix
signal (unbalanced). Connect the 2-TRACK OUTPUT to the inputs of your recording
device. The output level is adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader or
rotary control (Q802USB and Q502USB).
