XENYX 1002FX/1202FX User Manual
13
This illustration shows a typical arrangement for a live setup.
Two vocal microphones and the line outputs of a guitar and
a bass amplifier are connected to the mono channels of the
1202FX. A keyboard and a drum computer are connected
to the stereo channels. The power amplifier in your sound
system is connected to the main outputs; equipment such as
compressors, equalizers or crossovers are located between
the mixer and the amp in the signal path. If you wish to make
a live recording, you can connect your recording equipment
(in this case, a minidisk recorder) to the CD/tape outputs. A
CD player that is playing during intermissions is connected
via the CD/tape inputs. If you connect a recorder/player
combo (e. g. a tape deck recorder), the
CD/tape to Mix switch should not be pressed during a
recording because this way the signal intended for recording
would be directly re-routed back to the mixing console, and
then back to the recorder... this would cause a feedback loop
as soon as you hit the record button. A loud, unpleasant,
even painful sound would result.
If you are using an external effects processor (wired as
shown in the illustration), please make sure that the FX
SEND control in channel 11/12 is turned all the way down
counterclockwise to avoid creating a feedback loop.
Installation4.
Mains Connection4.1
AC POWER IN
Connect the power supply to the 3-pin mains connector
on the rear of the console. Use the AC adapter supplied to
connect the console to the mains. The adapter complies with
all applicable safety standards.
Please use only the power supply unit provided with ◊
the console.
Never connect the XENYX to the power supply unit ◊
while the latter is connected to the mains! First connect
the console to the power supply unit, then connect the
power supply unit to the mains.
Please note that both the power supply unit and the ◊
mixing console heat up considerably during operation.
This is completely normal.
Audio connections4.2
You will need a large number of cables for different
applications. The illustrations below show how the
connectors should be wired. Be sure to use only high-grade
cables.
Please use commercial RCA cables to connect the CD/tape
inputs and outputs.
You can, of course, also connect unbalanced equipment to
the balanced inputs/outputs. To do this, use either mono
plugs or stereo plugs with the ring and sleeve bridged (pins 1
and 3 in the case of XLR connectors).
Caution! Never use unbalanced XLR connectors (PIN 1 ◊
and 3 connected) on the MIC input connectors when
using the phantom power supply.
