Step 2: Controls
(EN) This chapter describes the various control elements
of your mixing console. All controls, switches and
connectors will be discussed in detail.
(1) MIC – Each mono input channel off 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 noisefree gain as is typically
known only from costly outboard preamps.
(2) 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!
(3) 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.
(4) EQ – All mono input channels include a
3-band equalizer. All bands provide boost
or cut of up to 15 dB. In the central position,
the equalizer is inactive.
(5) LOW CUT – In addition, the mono channels
are equipped with a steep LOW CUT fi lter
designed to eliminate unwanted low-
frequency signal components.
(6) FX – FX 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 eff ects
device. The return from the eff ects unit is
then brought back into the console on the
stereo channels. Each FX send is mono and
features up to +15 dB gain. In the QX1002USB/
QX1202USB, the FX send is routed directly to
the built-in eff ects processor. To make sure
that the eff ects processor receives an input
signal, you shouldn't turn this control all the
way to the left (-∞).
(7) 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.
(8) LEVEL – The LEVEL control determines the
level of the channel signal in the main mix.
(9) CLIP – The CLIP LED's 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.
(10)
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.
(11) FX – The FX sends of the stereo channels
function similar to those of the mono
channels. However, since the FX send buses
are both mono, a mono sum is fi rst taken from
the stereo input before it is sent to the FX bus.
(12) BAL – The BAL(ANCE) control determines the
levels of left and right input signals relative
to each other before both signals are then
routed to the main stereo mix bus. If a channel
is operated in mono via the left line input,
this control has the same function as the PAN
control used in the mono channels.
(13) +4/-10 – The stereo inputs of the
XENYX QX1002USB and QX1202USB have
an input sensitivity switch which selects
between +4 dBu and -10 dBV. At -10 dBV
(home-recording level), the input is more
sensitive (requires less level to drive it) than at
+4 dBu (studio level).
(14)
FX TO MAIN – The FX TO MAIN control feeds
the eff ects signal into the main mix. If the
control is turned all the way counterclockwise,
no eff ects signal is present in the sum signal of
the mixing console.
(15)
FX SEND – The FX SEND connector outputs
the signal you picked up from the individual
channels using the FX controls. You can
connect this to the input of an external
eff ects device in order to process the FX bus'
master signal. Once an eff ects mix is created,
the processed signal can then be routed
from the eff ects device outputs back into a
stereo input.
