2.3 Connector array of the main section

Fig.2.3: Connectors of the main section
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 a stereo input.
+
If the connected effects processor receives no input
signal, the FX SEND control is probably too low. This
also goes for the built-in effects processor.
+
Adjust your external effects processor to 100% wet
(effects signal only), because the effects signal is
added to the main mix along with the “dry” channel
signals.
+
In this instance, the FX control of the channel being
used as an effects return should be turned fully
counterclockwise, otherwise feedback problems
can occur!
PHONES/CONTROL ROOM OUT
The stereo PHONES connector (at the top of the connector
panel) is where headphones are connected. The unbalanced
CONTROL ROOM OUT connectors carry the summed effects
and main mix signals as well as soloed channel signals. The
PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control in the main section adjusts
the level of both headphones and main monitor outputs.
MAIN OUT
The MAIN OUT connectors are unbalanced mono connectors.
The main mix signal appears here at a level of 0 dBu. The MAIN
MIX fader adjusts the volume of these outputs. 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
loudspeakers 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 on to 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.
CD/TAPE INPUT
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
(e.g. cassette recorder, minidisk player, sound card etc.).
TAPE OUTPUT
wired parallel to MAIN OUT. Connect the inputs of a computer
sound card or a recorder here. The output signal level is set up
using the highly accurate MAIN MIX fader.

microphones and is activated using the +48 V switch located
above the +48 V LED.

Connect microphones before you switch on the
phantom power supply. Please do not connect
microphones to the mixer (or the stagebox/
wallbox) while the phantom power supply is
switched on. In addition, the monitor/PA loud-
speakers should be muted before you activate
the phantom power supply. After switching on,
wait approx. one minute to allow for system
stabilization.
Caution! You must never use unbalanced XLR
connectors (PIN 1 and 3 connected) on the MIC
input connectors if you want to use the phantom
power supply.
The blue POWER LED indicates that the console is powered on.
