XENYX XL3200/XL2400/XL1600 User Manual
CLIP
The CLIP LED lights up as soon as the channel's level is too high. In this case,
reduce the channel's input amplification with the TRIM control.
SIG
The SIG LED lights up when a channel's signal is higher than -20 dB. The LED is
not affected by the fader. The signals are indicated even when the fader is pulled
down and the channel is muted.
Fader
The channel fader adjusts the level of the channel signal as part of the main mix
(or submix).
1-2, 3-4, MIX
The routing switch routes the signal to the respective subgroup or the main mix
or both. The XENYX features 4 subgroups. The PAN control determines the group
to which the signal is routed (fully left: Sub 1 or 3, fully right: Sub 2 or 4).
5.2 Stereo channels
+48 V
This control LED lights up when the phantom power is activated. The switch is
located on the rear panel of the unit.
MIC TRIM
The MIC TRIM control adjusts amplification of the microphone input.
The amplification ranges between 0 and +60 dB.
◊
Be sure to set this control fully counter-clockwise before you connect or
disconnect a signal source to or from one of the inputs.
80 Hz
Press the 80 Hz switch to activate the high-pass filter which blends out
low-frequency noise (-3 dB at 80 Hz, 18 dB/octave).
LINE TRIM
The LINE TRIM control adjusts the amplification of the LINE input,
ranging between -20 and +20 dB. When centered (at 12 o'clock),
the line signal is neither boosted nor cut.

5.2.1 Equalizer stereo channels

The stereo channels provide 4-band equalization. Each frequency band can be
boosted and cut up to 15 dB and has a flat response when the controls are in
center position.
HIGH
The HIGH control of the EQ section adjusts the high-frequency range of the
respective channel. This is a shelving filter which boosts and cuts the frequencies
above 12 kHz.
HIGH MID
The HIGH MID control adjusts the mid frequency range. This is a peak filter which
boosts and cuts the frequencies centered at 3 kHz.
LOW MID
The LOW MID control adjusts the mid frequency range. This is a peak filter which
boosts and cuts the frequencies centered at 300 Hz.
LOW
The LOW control adjusts the low-frequency range. This is a shelving filter which
boosts and cuts the frequencies below 80 Hz.
EQ
The EQ push-button switch activates the equalizer. Toggle the EQ to give you a
quick comparison between unprocessed and processed signal.
5.2.2 Stereo channel FX/MON/AUX send paths
The aux and FX paths of the stereo channels work in principle the same way as
the mono channels. Since the aux buses are mono, the stereo signal needs to be
converted to a mono signal before being routed to these buses.
5.2.3 Channel fader, pan control, mute switch, etc.
BAL(ANCE)
The BAL(ANCE) control has the same function as the PAN control on the mono
channels. It determines the relative volume of the left and right input signals
before they are routed to the stereo main mix bus (or to two subgroups).
MUTE
Use the MUTE switch to mute the channel signal. The MUTE LED is illuminated
when the channel is muted
