2. Control elements and
connectors
This chapter describes the various control elements of your
mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be
discussed in detail.
2.1

Mono Channels

Fig. 2.1: Connectors and controls on the mono channels
MIC
Each mono input channel offers 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 noise-free gain
as is typically known only from costly outboard preamps.
◊ Please mute your playback system before you activate
the phantom power supply to prevent switch-on
thumps being directed to your loudspeakers. Please
also note the instructions in chapter 2.4 "Main section".
LINE IN
Each mono input also features a balanced line input on a ¼"
connector. Unbalanced devices (mono connectors) 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!
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.
The scale has 2 different value ranges: the first value range
(+10 to +60 dB) refers to the MIC input and shows the
amplification for the signals fed in there.
The second value range (+10 to -40 dBu) refers to the line
input and shows its sensitivity. The settings for equipment
with standard line-level signals (-10 dBV or +4 dBu) look
like this: While the GAIN control is turned all the way down,
connect your equipment. Set the GAIN control to the
external devices' standard output level. If that unit has an
output signal level display, it should show 0 dB during signal
peaks. For +4 dBu, turn up GAIN slightly, for -10 dBV a bit
more. Tweaking is done using the CLIP LED.
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.
The circuitry of the British EQs is based on the technology
used in the best-known top-of-the-line consoles and
providing a warm sound without any unwanted side effects.
The result are extremely musical equalizers which, unlike
simple equalizers, cause no side effects such as phase
shifting or bandwidth limitation, even with extreme gain
settings of ±15 dB.
