2.2.2 Equalizer stereo channels (802)
The XENYX 802 features a stereo 3-band EQ in
each stereo channel. The filter characteristics and
cut-off frequencies are the same as those in the
mono channels.
A stereo EQ is highly preferable to two mono
equalizers. when working on a stereo signal,
as two separate E Q ' s will usually produce an
unwanted discrepancy between the left and

riaht channels.

FX SEND
' T he 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
PHONESICONTROL ROOM
The stereo PHONES jack (at the top of the connector panel) is where you connect
2.2.3 FX sends, balance and level adjustment headphones. The unbalanced CTRL ROOM OUT jacks carry the summed effects
and main mixsignals, as well as soloed channel signals. The PHONESi C ONTROL
The FXsends of the stereo channels function similar
to those of the mono channels. However, since the
FX send buses are both mono, a mono sum is first
taken from the stereo input before
it
is sent to the
FX bus. The 502 is not equipped with FXsends.
BAL
The BAL(ANCE) control determines the levels of left
and right input signals relative to each other before
both signals are then routed to the main stereo mix
bus. If a channel is operated in mono via the left
line input, this control has the same function as the
PAN control used in the mono channels.

The LEVEL control determines the volume of the chalweibeiq sent to the
main mix.
The stereo inputs of the XENYX 1002 and 1202 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).

The MAlbCOUT connectors are unbalanced mowjacks. 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.
