FBQ Feedback Detection System
The FBQ Feedback Detection System, integrated into the graphic equalizer, is one of the most outstanding characteristics of this mixing console. This ingenious circuitry lets you immediately recognize and eliminate feedback frequencies. The FBQ Feedback Detection System uses the LEDs in the frequency band faders of the graphic EQ to indicate the critical frequencies. This way, what once used to be a labor-intensive search for feedback frequencies is now an activity that even a child could master.
The microphone channels feature high-end XENYX Mic Preamps that compare well with costly outboard preamps in terms of sound quality and dynamics and boast the following features:
"British EQ"
The equalizers used for the XENYX Series are based on the legendary circuitry of top-notch consoles made in Britain, which are renowned throughout the world for their incredibly warm and musical sound character. Even with extreme gain settings these equalizers ensure outstanding audio properties.
Multi-effects processor
Additionally, your XENYX mixing console has an effects processor with 24-bit A/D and D/A converters included, which gives you 16 presets producing first-class reverb, delay and modulation effects plus numerous multi-effects in excellent audio quality.
The XENYX mixing consoles are equipped with a state-of-the-art switched-mode power supply (SMPS). Unlike conventional circuitry an SMPS provides an optimum supply current regardless of the input voltage. And thanks to its considerably higher efficiency a switched-mode power supply uses less energy than conventional power supplies.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that extreme volumes may damage your hearing and/or your headphones or loudspeakers. Turn the MAIN MIX faders and the PHONES control in the main section fully down before you switch on the unit. Always be careful to set the appropriate volume.
A mixing console fulfils three main functions:
The user's manual is designed to give you both an overview of the controls, as well as detailed information on how to use them. In order to help you understand the links between the controls, we have arranged them in groups according to their function.
Your mixing console was carefully packed in the factory to guarantee safe transport. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling purposes and to avoid over-heating. Please do not place your mixing console on high-temperature devices such as radiators or power amps. The console is connected to the mains via the supplied power cable. The console meets the required safety standards. Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.

This chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be discussed in detail.
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.
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.
INSERT
Insert points enable the processing of a signal with dynamic processors or equalizers. They are sourced pre-fader, pre-EQ and pre-aux send. Unlike reverb or other effects devices, whose signals are usually added to the dry signal, dynamic processors are most effective on the complete signal. In this case, aux send paths are a less-than-perfect solution. It is better to interrupt the signal path and insert a dynamic processor and/or equalizer. After processing, the signal is routed back to the console at precisely the same point it left. However, the channel signal path is interrupted only if a plug is inserted into the corresponding jack (stereo phone plug: tip = signal output; ring = return input). All mono input channels are equipped with inserts.
Inserts can also be used as pre-EQ direct outputs, without interrupting the signal path. To this end, you will need a cable fitted with mono phone plugs on the tape machine or effects device end, and a bridged stereo phone plug on the console side (tip and ring connected).
LOW CUT
The mono channels of the mixing consoles have a high-slope LOW CUT filter for eliminating unwanted, low-frequency signal components (80 Hz, 18 dB/octave).
GAIN
Use the GAIN control to adjust the input gain. This control should always be turned fully counter-clockwise 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 dB) 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 LEVEL SET LED.
LEVEL SET
This LED lights up when the optimum operating signal level is achieved. During normal use, this LED should only light up during signal peaks.
COMPRESSOR
Each mono channel features a built-in compressor which lowers the dynamic range of the signal and increases its perceived loudness. The loud peaks are squashed down and the quiet sections are boosted.
Turn the COMP knob clockwise to add more compression effect. The adjacent LED with light when the effect is engaged.
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.
The upper (HIGH) and the lower band (LOW) are shelving filters that increase or decrease all frequencies above or below their cut-off frequency. The cut-off frequencies of the upper and lower band are 12 kHz and 80 Hz respectively. The mid band is configured as a peak filter with a center frequency of 2.5 kHz. Unlike shelving filters, the peak filter processes a frequency range that extends upwards and downwards around its middle frequency.
Aux sends take signals via a control from one or more channels and sum these signals to a so-called bus. This bus signal is sent to an aux send connector and then routed, for example, to an active monitor speaker or an external effects device. The return from an external effects device can then be brought back into the console via the aux return connectors.
For situations that require effects processing, the aux sends are usually switched post-fader so that the effects volume in a channel corresponds to the position of the channel fader. If this were not the case, the effects signal of the channel would remain audible even when the fader is turned to zero.
When setting up a monitor mix, the aux sends are generally switched to pre-fader; i.e. they operate independently of the position of the channel fader. Both aux sends are mono, are sourced after the equalizer and offer up to +15 dB gain.
MON
In the X1222USB, aux send 1 (MON) is wired pre-fader and is thus particularly suitable for setting up monitor mixes.
FX
The aux send labeled FX is for feeding external effects devices and is thus set up to be post-fader.
In the X1222USB, the FX send is routed directly to the built-in effects processor. To make sure that the effects processor receives an input signal, you shouldn't turn this control all the way to the left (-oo). Don't have the FX MUTE switch pressed, and you should also not have the FX SEND fader pulled down.
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.
MUTE
Use the MUTE switch to mute the channel. This means that the channel signal is no longer present in the main mix. However, the aux sends (MON and FX) remain active.
MUTE LED
The MUTE LED indicates that the relevant channel is muted.
CLIP LED
The CLIP LED lights up when the input signal is driven too high. In this case, lower apparent frequency increase on the channel EQ to avoid distortion. For example, lower the mids and the highs somewhat to emphasize the bass. If you don't wish to change the EQ settings under any circumstances, try lowering the GAIN control somewhat (counterclockwise).
If you inserted an external effects processor via the insert connector (e.g. a dynamic processor), then you should also control its output signal level. It should not be higher than its input signal level (0 dB).
The channel fader determines the level of the channel signal in the main mix.
Each stereo channel features two line-level inputs on ¼" connectors for left and right channels. Channels 9/10 and 11/12 can also be used in mono if you only use the connector labeled "L."
Both channels 5/6 and 7/8 feature an additional balanced XLR input for microphones with available +48 V phantom power.
All stereo channel strips have a GAIN control for level setting. In those channels in which a mic input is present in the channel, the GAIN control has two scales: just like in the mono channels, there is a 0 to +40 dB scale that shows the preamplification of the mic signal; the +20 to -20 dB scale shows the sensitivity for the corresponding input level that is applied to the line input.
Both inputs can also be used with balanced or unbalanced connectors.
The equalizer of the stereo channels is, of course, stereo. The filter characteristics and crossover frequencies are the same as those of the mono channels. A stereo equalizer is always preferable to two mono equalizers if frequency correction of a stereo signal is needed. There is often a discrepancy between the settings of the left and the right channels when using separate equalizers.
In principle, the aux sends of the stereo channels function in just the same way as those of the mono channels. As aux send paths are always mono, the signal on a stereo channel is first summed to mono before it reaches the aux bus.
BAL
The function of the BAL(ANCE) control corresponds to the PAN control in the mono channels.
The balance control determines the relative proportion between the left and right input signals before both signals are routed to the main stereo mix bus.
The MUTE switch, MUTE LED, CLIP LED and channel fader function in the same way as the mono channels.
Whereas it was useful to trace the signal flow from top to bottom in order to gain an understanding of the channel strips, we now look at the mixing console from left to right. The signals are, so to speak, collected from one point on each of the channel strips and then routed to the main section all together.
A channel signal is routed to the MON(ITOR) send bus if the MON control is turned up on the corresponding channel.
MON SEND
The aux send control MON SEND acts as master control for the monitor bus and determines the level of the summed signal that is taken from the mixer via the MON SEND connector and that can for example be fed to an amplifier for monitor purposes.
Using the audio signal from this output, you can also feed a subwoofer if you don't require stage monitors. To this end, you should implement a crossover in your signal path pre-subwoofer and pre-amplifier, so that only low frequencies are fed into the subwoofer. You can achieve the same effect by using the built-in graphical equalizer. Lower all frequencies above 160 Hz and assign the equalizer to "Monitor".
FX TO MON
You can use this control to insert an effects signal from the built-in effects processor to your monitor mix. Of course, to do this, your effects processor must first receive a signal, i.e. the FX controls in the channel strips must be turned up, and the FX SEND fader (see fig. 2.6) hast to be open.
MON MUTE
If the MON MUTE switch is pressed, the monitor bus is muted, i.e. there is no signal at the MON SEND connector.
FX SEND
The FX SEND fader determines the overall level of the effects bus. Both external effects processors (via the FX SEND connector) and the built-in processor only receive an input signal if this control is open.
FX TO MAIN
Use the FX TO MAIN control to feed the effects signal into the main mix.
If the control is turned all the way to the left, no effects signal can be heard.
FX MUTE
If the FX MUTE switch is pressed, the effects channel is muted, i.e. no signal is present at the FX SEND connector and the effects processor no longer receives an input signal.
MON SEND
Connect the input of your monitor power amp or an active monitor system here to make the monitor mix audible to the musicians on the stage. The signal mix is created using the channels' MON controls.
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 effects device in order to process the FX bus' master signal. Once an effects mix is created, the processed signal can then be routed from the effects device outputs back into the AUX RETURN connectors.
AUX RETURN 1
The AUX RETURN 1 connectors generally serve as the return path for the effects mix generated using the FX send. This is where you connect the output signal of the external effects device. If only the left connector is used, the aux return 1 automatically operates in mono.
AUX RETURN 2
The AUX RETURN 2 connectors are used exactly the same way as the AUX RETURN 1 connectors. If these connectors already function as additional inputs, you can route the effects signal back into the console via a different stereo channel, with the added benefit that the channel EQ can be used to adjust the frequency response of the effects return signal.
This channel, intended especially for connecting stereo signal sources (CD players, DAT recorders or even sound cards) features a particularly practical feature: the VOICE CANCELLER.
VOICE CANCELLER
Here, you have a filter circuitry that lets you almost entirely remove the vocal portion of a recording. The filter is constructed in such a way that voice frequencies are targeted without majorly affecting the rest of the signal. Additionally, the filter seizes only the middle of the stereo image, exactly there where the vocals are typically located.
Possible applications for the Voice Canceller are obvious: you can very simply stage background music for Karaoke events. Of course, you can also do this at home or at your rehearsal room before you hit the stage. Singers with their own band can practice singing difficult parts using a complete playback from a tape player or a CD, thus minimizing rehearsal time.
STANDBY
If the STANDBY switch is pressed, all input channels with a mic connector (XLR connector) are muted. During breaks or stage conversion, you can prevent noise from entering the sound system via the microphones. Such noise can in the worst-case scenario even irreparably damage loudspeaker membranes. The cool thing about this is that the main mix faders can remain open, so that you can play music from a CD at the same time. Similarly, the faders for the muted channels can also remain in their position.
To bring in other sound sources, you can use the CD/tape inputs, stereo input channels 9 to 12 and the aux return inputs.
CD/TAPE MUTE
Using this switch, the input signal from the CD/tape inputs is muted.
CD/TAPE RET(URN)
This stereo fader assigns the input signal from the CD/tape inputs into the main mix.
CD/TAPE INPUT
The CD/TAPE INPUT RCA connectors are provided for connecting a 2-track machine (e.g. DAT recorder) or also a CD player. They can also be used as stereo line input.
Alternatively, the output signal of a second XENYX or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can also be connected. If you connect a hi-fi amplifier with a source selection switch to the CD/TAPE INPUT, you can easily switch between additional sources (e.g. cassette recorder, MD player, sound card etc.).
Using the voice canceller function, you can process all signals being brought into your mixing console via these connectors.
CD/TAPE OUTPUT
These connectors are wired pre graphic EQ and pre XPQ surround function.
They carry the main mix signal (unbalanced), effects mix included. Connect the CD/TAPE OUTPUT to the inputs of your recording device. If you wish to use your mixer solely for recording purposes, the main outputs are also an alternative.
MAIN MIX
Use the high-precision quality faders to control the output level of the main mix.
MAIN OUT
The MAIN outputs carry the MAIN MIX signal and are on balanced XLR connectors with a nominal level of +4 dBu. Depending on how you wish to use your mixer and which gear you own, you can connect the following equipment:
Live PA systems:
A stereo dynamics processor (optional), stereo equalizer (optional) and the stereo power amplifier for full-range loud-speakers with passive crossovers.
If you wish to use multi-way loudspeaker systems without an integrated crossover, you have to use an active crossover and several power amplifiers. Often, limiters are already built into active crossovers (e.g. BEHRINGER SUPER-X PRO CX2310 and ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496). Active crossovers are implemented directly before the power amplifier, and they divide the frequency range into several segments that are first amplified in the amplifiers and then passed onto the corresponding loudspeakers.
Recording:
For mastering, using a stereo compressor such as the COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600 can be recommended. Use it to custom-tailor the dynamic characteristics of your signal to the dynamic range of the recording equipment you are using. The signal is in this case passed on from the compressor into the recorder.
PHONES
The PHONES control adjusts the volume of the headphones connected to the PHONS/CTRL connector. If you connect active monitors or an amplifier, use this connector to adjust the output signal level.
PHONS/CTRL connector
You can connect headphones to this ¼" TRS connector. The connector can also be used for feeding active monitor loudspeakers (or an amplifier) in your control room. For this purpose, the signal is taken directly before it is passed on to the main mix faders.
POWER
The blue POWER LED indicates that the device is switched on.
+48 V
The red "+48 V" LED lights up when the phantom power supply is switched on. The phantom power supply is necessary for condenser microphones and is activated using the corresponding switch on the rear of the device.
LEVEL METER/CLIP
The high-precision level meter accurately displays the appropriate signal level.
LEVEL SETTING:
When recording to a digital device, the recorder's peak meter should not exceed 0 dB. This is because, unlike analog recordings, slightly excessive levels can create unpleasant digital distortion.
When recording to an analog device, the VU meters of the recording machine should reach approx. +3 dB with low-frequency signals (e.g. kick drum). Due to their inertia VU meters tend to display too low a signal level at frequencies above 1 kHz. This is why, for example, a Hi-Hat should only be driven as far as -10 dB. Snare drums should be driven to approx. 0 dB.
The XENYX mixer line has built-in USB connectivity, allowing stereo signals to be sent to and from the mixer and a computer. The audio sent from the mixer to a computer is identical to the MAIN MIX. Audio being sent to the mixer from a computer can be routed to the main mix with the 2-TR/USB TO MAIN button.
Connect the USB type B plug into the USB jack on the mixer, and the other end into a free USB port on your computer. There are no required drivers, but we recommend that PC users install the included ASIO driver. The driver can also be downloaded from behringer.com.
The graphic stereo equalizer allows you to tailor the sound to the room acoustics.
FBQ FEEDBACK DETECTION
The switch turns on the FBQ Feedback Detection System. It uses the LEDs in the frequency band faders to indicate the critical frequencies. On a per-need basis, lower the frequency range in question somewhat in order to avoid feedback. The graphic stereo equalizer has to be turned on in order to use this function.
Feedback is particularly common when stage monitors ("wedges") are concerned, because monitors project sound in the direction of microphones. Therefore, you can also use the FBQ Feedback Detection for monitors by placing the equalizer in the monitor bus (see MAIN MIX/MONITOR).
EQ IN
Use this switch to activate the graphic equalizer. When activated, the fader LEDs will illuminate.
MAIN MIX/MONITOR
This toggles the graphic equalizer between the main mix and the monitor mix. With the switch up (not depressed), the equalizer is active in stereo on the main mix, and inactive on the monitor mix.
When the switch is depressed the equalizer is active in mono on the monitor mix, and inactive on the main mix.
FUSE HOLDER/IEC MAINS RECEPTACLE
The console is connected to the mains via the cable supplied, which meets the required safety standards. Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating. The mains connection is made via a cable with IEC mains connector. An appropriate mains cable is supplied with the equipment.
POWER
Use the POWER switch to power up the mixing console. The POWER switch should always be in the "Off" position when you are about to connect your unit to the mains.
To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main cord plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible. If mounting in a rack, ensure that the mains can be easily disconnected by a plug pull or by an all-pole disconnect switch on or near the rack.
PHANTOM
The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power supply for the XLR microphone inputs, which is required to operate condenser microphones. The red +48 V LED lights up when phantom power is on. As a rule, dynamic microphones can still be used with phantom power switched on, provided that they are wired in a balanced configuration. In case of doubt, contact the microphone manufacturer!
SERIAL NUMBER
Please note the important information on the serial number.
24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Here you can find a list of all presets stored in the multi-effects processor. This built-in effects module produces high-grade standard effects such as reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and various combination effects. The integrated effects module has the advantage of requiring no wiring. This way, the danger of creating ground loops or uneven signal levels is eliminated at the outset, completely simplifying the handling.
These effect presets are designed to be added to dry signals. If you move the FX TO MAIN control, you mix the channel signal (dry) and the effect signal.
This also goes for mixing effects signals with the monitor mix. The main difference is that the mix ratio is adjusted using the FX TO MON control. Of course, a signal has to be fed into the effects processor via the FX control in the channel strip for both applications.
FOOTSWITCH
Connect a standard footswitch to the footswitch connector; use this to switch the effects processor on and off. A flashing dot at the bottom of the display indicates if the effects processor is muted via the footswitch
LEVEL
The LED level meter on the effects module should display a sufficiently high level. Take care to ensure that the clip LED only lights up at peak levels. If it is lit constantly, you are overloading the effects processor and this could cause unpleasant distortion. The FX SEND fader determines the level that reaches the effects module.
PROGRAM
You can select the effect preset by turning the PROGRAM control. The display flashes the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, press the button; the flashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset using the footswitch.
The surround function can be enabled/disabled with the XPQ TO MAIN switch. This is a built-in effect that widens the stereo width, thus making the sound more lively and transparent. Use the SURROUND control to determine the intensity of this effect.
The packaging of your mixing console contains two 19" rack mount brackets which can be installed on the side panels of the console.
Before you can attach the rack mount brackets to the mixing console, you need to remove the screws holding the left and right side panels. Use these screws to fasten the two brackets onto the console, being careful to note that each bracket fits a specific side. With the rack mount brackets installed, you can mount the mixing console in a commercially available 19" rack. Be sure to allow for proper air flow around the unit, and do not place the mixing console close to radiators or power amps, so as to avoid overheating.
You will need a large number of cables for the various connections to and from the console. The following illustrations show the wiring of these cables. Be sure to use only high-grade cables.
Please use commercial RCA cables to wire the 2-track inputs and outputs.
You can, of course, also connect unbalanced devices to the balanced input/ outputs. Use either mono plugs, or ensure that ring and sleeve are bridged inside the stereo plug (or pins 1 & 3 in the case of XLR connectors).
