CLIP
The CLIP LED lights up as soon as the channel's level is too high. In this case,
turn the TRIM control to reduce the channel's input amplication until the LED
goes out.
SIG
The SIG LED lights up when a channel's signal is higher than -20 dB. The LED is
not aected by the fader. The signals are indicated even when the fader is pulled
down and the channel is muted.
Fader
The channel fader governs the level of the channel signal as part of the main
mix (or submix)
1-2, 3-4, MAIN
The routing switch feeds the signal to the respective subgroup or the main mix
or both. Please note that when using the routing switch to route a stereo signal
to the subgroups the balance control needs to be centered so that the signal is
routed to two groups and remains in stereo.
Main section5.3
MAIN A section5.3.1
BAL(ANCE)
The BAL(ANCE) control adjusts the mix of the left and right
output signal before both signals are routed to the MAIN A
output. This way the left and right volume level of the mixer
sum can individually be adjusted if necessary.
MAIN MUTE
When the MAIN MUTE switch is pressed, all input channels
are muted. The MUTE LED lights up when the MUTE switch is
pressed. Only the CD/TAPE signal will be routed to the main mix.
In this way, you can prevent the microphones from picking up
unwanted sounds or noise that would interfere with CD playback
during a break. The main mix and channel faders can remain
in their normal positions while playing back music from CD
(using the CD/TAPE inputs, so you don’t lose your mix.
MAIN A
Use this high-precision MAIN fader to control the output level of
the main mix.
MAIN B
Depending on the settings of the MAIN B section, the level of the
Main B output is aected by the MAIN A fader.
Level meters5.4
Four high-resolution LED meters indicate the levels
of the monitor buses' and mixer sum's output signals.
As soon as you have pressed the solo switch on the
mixing console, the monitor LED meter automatically
shows the solo signal. The master signal is
always indicated.
1 MON 2
The monitor meters indicate the levels of the monitor
buses 1 and 2. In solo mode (SOLO LED lights up)
the PFL signal (mono, only left meter) or the AFL
signal (stereo, left and right meter) are shown.
This depends on the state of the PFL and AFL switch
in the solo section.
SOLO
When a SOLO switch is pressed on the mixing console, not only the corresponding
LED lights up, but also the global SOLO LED. This way you can keep a cool head
when mixing live and don't have to check the whole console to see that one
SOLO switch is active. Simultaneously this LED indicates that the monitor meters
are in solo mode.
MAIN
The high-precision level meter accurately indicates the output signal
level (MAIN OUT A).
Subgroups5.5
The XENYX provides 4
subgroups which allow you
to feed multiple channels to
mono or stereo mixdowns.
Their volume level can be
adjusted using the subgroup
faders. For example, create a
subgroup with all vocal
channels or drum signals and
adjust the volume using the
subgroup fader. This way you
can keep track and, at the
same time, can process the
signal with a compressor via
the subgroup insert.
Additionally, you can
also use the subgroup
outputs as sends for a
multitrack recorder.
PAN
The PAN control adjusts the position within the stereo image.
MAIN
The MAIN switch routes the subgroup signal to the main mix.
With the PAN control you can adjust the signal to the left side of the stereo
image (PAN turned fully left), to the right side of the stereo image (PAN turned
fully right) or to both sides (PAN in center position) of the stereo main mix.
For example, when creating a stereo submix with the subgroups 1 and 2, group 1
should be adjusted to the left and group 2 to the right side of the main mix in
