+4/-10
The stereo inputs of the XENYX 1202 and 1002 have an input sensitivity switch
which selects between +4 dBu and -10 dBV. At -10 dBV (home-recording
level), the input is more sensitive (requires less level to drive it) than at +4 dBu
(studio level).

2.3 Connector panel and main section

2.3.1 Send/return effects path

AUX RETURN
802 only: the STEREO AUX RETURN connectors are used to bring the output of
the external effects device (whose input is derived from the aux sends) back into
the console. You can instead use these connectors as additional inputs, but any
effects device will then have to be brought back into the console via a normal
stereo channel. This does, however, give you the ability to use the channel EQ on
the effects return signal if you wish.
◊
When using a stereo channel as effects return path, the FX control of
the relevant channel should generally be turned fully down to avoid
undesirable feedback.
If only the left connector is used, the AUX RETURN automatically operates in
mono. Use the AUX RETURN control to determine how much of the effects signal
is sent to the main mix.
FX SEND
The FX SEND output (does not apply for 502) should be connected to the input
of an external effects unit. The post-fader FX signal you created using the
input channel FX controls is sent to the effects unit via the FX SEND ouput.
Use the FX SEND control of the main section to adjust the overall send level
(1002 and 1202 only).
2.3.2 Monitor and main mix
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.

2.3.3 2-Track connectors
2-TRACK INPUT
The 2-TRACK 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.

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.
