Stereo channels

2.2.1

Stereo line inputs

Fig. 2.4: Stereo line inputs
LINE IN
Each stereo channel has two balanced line level inputs on 1/4"
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.
2.2.2

Equalizer stereo channels (802)

The XENYX 802 features a stereo 3-band EQ in each stereo
channel. The filter characteristics and cut-off frequencies are the
same as those in the mono channels.

A stereo EQ is highly preferable to two mono equalizers. when
working on a stereo signal, as two separate EQ's will usually
produce an unwanted discrepancy between the left and right
channels.
2.2.3

FX sends, balance and level adjustment

Fig. 2.6: The FX send/balance/level controls
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 first taken from the stereo input before it is
sent to the FX bus. The 502 is not equipped with FXsends.
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.
LEVEL
The LEVEL control determines the volume of the channel being
sent to the main mix.
6
+4/-10
The stereo inputs of the XENYX 1002 and 1202 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).

Connector panel and main section

STEREO AUX RETURN
802 only: the STEREO AUX RETURN connectors are used to bring
the output of the external effects device (whose input is derived
from the aux sends) back into the console. You can instead use
these connectors as additional inputs, but any effects 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 chan-
nel EQ on the effects 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 effects signal is sent to the main mix.
FX SEND
The FX SEND output (does not apply for 502) should be connected
to the input of an external effects unit. The post-fader FX signal you
created using the input channel FX controls is sent to the effects
unit via the FX SENDouput. Use the FX SEND control of the main
section to adjust the overall send level (1002 and 1202 only).
