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 effects and main mix signals, as
well as soloed channel signals. The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM
control adjusts the level of both headphones and main monitor
outputs. The 502 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 802 and 502
mixing consoles feature a rotary control for this purpose.

CD/Tape connectors

CD/TAPE INPUT
The CD/TAPE INPUTs 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: CD/Tape input/output
Alternatively the line or tape output of a hi-fi amplifier with source
selection switch could also be hooked up here, allowing you to
easily listen to additional sources.
CD/TAPE OUTPUT
These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT and
carry the main mix signal (unbalanced). Connect the CD/TAPE
OUTPUT to the inputs of your recording device. The output level
is adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader or rotary control
(802).
XENYX 502/802/1002/1202
CD/TAPE TO MIX
When the TAPE TO MIX switch is depressed, the 2-track input
is assigned to the main mix providing an additional input for tape
machines, MIDI instruments or other signal sources that do not
require any processing.
CD/TAPE TO CTRL ROOM (502: CD/TAPE TO PHONES)
Press the CD/TAPE TO CTRL ROOM/PHONES switch if you
want to monitor the 2-track input via the CTRL ROOM OUT. This
provides an easy way to monitor signals coming back from tape
to ensure that they are recording correctly.
+
FX TO CTRL ROOM
If you want to monitor only the FX send signal in your headphones
or monitor speaker(s), press the FX TO CTRL switch. This mutes
the main mix signal while routing the FX SEND output to the
monitor(s). The XENYX 802 and 502 do not feature this switch.
+48 V (802/1002/1202 only)
The red +48 V LED lights up when phantom power is on. The
PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power supply on the
XLR connectors of all mono channels.
+
POWER
The blue POWER LED indicates that the console is powered
on.
Level indicator
The high-precision 4-segment display accurately displays the
relevant signal level.
LEVEL SETTING: To correctly set the gains of the channels, first
set the LEVEL controls of the input channels to their center posi-

Signal assignment

Fig. 2.12: Assignment switches of the main section
If you are recording a signal via the CD/TAPE OUTPUT
and wish to listen to this simultaneously via the CD/
TAPE INPUT, do not use the CD/TAPE TO MIX switch.
Doing this would create a feedback loop, since the signal
would be routed, via the main mix, back to tape via the
CD/TAPE OUTPUT. To monitor the CD/TAPE INPUT, use
the CD/TAPE TO CTRL ROOM switch to assign the tape
signal to the monitor(s) or headphones. This will avoid
the tape signal being routed to the CD/TAPE OUTPUT.

Phantom power and LED displays

Fig. 2.13: Phantom power and control LEDs
Please do not connect microphones to the mixer (or the
stagebox/wallbox) as long as the phantom power supply
is switched on. Connect the micro-phones before you
switch on the power supply. In addition, the monitor/PA
loudspeakers should be muted before you activate the
phantom power supply. After switching on, wait approx.
one minute in order to allow system stabilization.
