XENYX X1622USB/X1832USB/X2222USB/X2442USB User Manual
•
Mix:
All other mixing console functions fall under this vital category. Creating a
mix means primarily adjusting the volume levels of individual instruments
and voices to one another as well as giving them the appropriate weight
within the overall frequency spectrum. Likewise, you'll have to sensibly
spread individual voices across the stereo image of a signal. At the end of
this process, adjusting the level of the entire mix to other equipment in the
signal path is required (e. g. recorder/crossover/amplifier).
The control surface of BEHRINGER mixing consoles is optimized in such a way
that these functions become easy to fulfill while the signal path remains
simple to follow.

The user's manual

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. If you need to know more about specific issues,
please visit our website at http://behringer.com. Additional information and
explanations about various music industry/audio technology terminology can be
found on individual product pages as well as in the glossary.

The block diagram supplied with the mixing console gives you an

as the associated switches and controls.

packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have
occurred during transit.

If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to us, but notify your
dealer and the shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for

1.3.2 Initial operation
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 cable. The console meets the required safety standards.
Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.

safety, you should never remove any ground connectors from electrical
devices or power cables, or render them in operative.
