1.3.1 Shipment
Your mixing console was carefully packed in the factory to guarantee safe
transport. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the
packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage that 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
damage or replacement may not be granted.
◊ To assure optimal protection of your XENYX during use or transport,
we recommend utilizing a carrying case.
◊ Please always use the original packaging to avoid damage due to
storage or shipping.
◊ Never let unsupervised children play with the XENYX or with
its packaging.
◊ Please dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally-
friendly fashion.
1.3.2 Initial operation
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling purposes and to
avoid overheating please do not place your mixing console on high-temperature
equipment such as radiators or power amps.
◊ Never connect the XENYX to the power supply unit when the latter is
connected to the mains! First connect the power supply unit to the
console, then connect the power supply unit to the mains.
◊ Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection.
For your own safety, never remove or disable the ground
conductor from the unit or on the AC power cord. The unit should

2. Control Elements and Connectors
This chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console.
Allcontrols, switches and connectors will be discussed in detail.
2.1 Mono channels
Fig. 2.1: Connectors and controls on the monochannels
MIC
Each mono input channel oers a balanced microphone input via the XLR
connector and also features switchable +48 V phantom power supply for
condenser microphones. The XENYX preamps provide undistorted and noise-free
gain as is typically known only from costly outboard preamps.
◊ Please mute your playback system before you activate the phantom
power supply to prevent switch-on thumps being directed to your
loudspeakers. Please also note the instructions in chapter 2.4
“Main section”.
LINE IN
Each mono input also features a balanced line input on a ¼"connector.
Unbalanced devices (mono connectors) canalso be connected to these inputs.
◊ Please remember that you can only use either the microphone
or the line input of a channel at any one time. You can never use
both simultaneously!
GAIN
Use the GAIN control to adjust the input gain. This control should always be
turned fully counterclockwise whenever you connect or disconnect a signal
source to one of the inputs.
The scale has 2 dierent value ranges: the rst value range (+10 to +60 dB)
refers to the MIC input and shows the amplication for the signals fed in there.
