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 configurations.
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.
