order to maintain a balanced stereo image. In case you have created a mono
submix with only one subgroup, be sure to center the PAN control so that the
signal is not only heard on one side.
SOLO
The SOLO switch routes the subgroup signal to the AFL bus (Solo In Place) or
PFL bus (Pre Fader Listen), so that you can monitor the subgroup signal without
aecting the main or sub output signals. The signal to be monitored is taken
either pre (PFL, mono) or post-subgroup fader (Solo, stereo), depending on the
position of the SOLO/PFL switch. The SOLO LED illuminates when the SOLO switch
is pressed.
CLIP
The CLIP LED lights up as soon as the subgroup signal's level is too high.
In this case, pull down the channels' faders routed to this group.
SIG
The SIG LED lights up when a signal is routed to the subgroup whose level is
higher than -20 dB.
The signal and clip LEDs are not affected by the fader. The signals are
indicated even when the subgroup fader is pulled down.
Fader
The subgroup faders adjust the volume level of the subgroup signal at the
subgroup output. If the MAIN switch is pressed, you can also adjust the
subgroup's volume level in the main mix.
Further functions of the 5.6
master section
Talkback5.6.1
The talkback function of the XENYX allows you to communicate
with people on stage. The talkback signal can be routed to the
dierent bus outputs.
MIC
Here you can plug in the microphone for talkback use.
LEVEL
The LEVEL control adjusts the volume level of the talkback signal.
MON, AUX, GROUP, MAIN
These push-button switches (MON, AUX, GROUP and MAIN)
determine to which outputs and buses the talkback signal is to
be routed. Then, turn on the talkbalk microphone. Press and
hold down the push-button switch while speaking into
the microphone.
SOLO5.6.2
SOLO LEVEL
The SOLO LEVEL control adjusts the volume level of all solo
signals routed to the headphone and loudspeaker outputs.
PFL/AFL
Press the PFL/AFL switch to change the solo functionality from PFL mono
(pre-fader listen) to AFL stereo. The LED next to the switch indicates the selected
state. In PFL mode, the signal is tapped before the fader when pressing the solo
switch. In AFL mode, the signal is tapped behind the fader and in stereo for a
correct positioning within the stereo image.
If you adjust the signal's level with the TRIM control, select the PFL mode so that
the displayed level is not aected by the channel fader.
CD/TAPE5.6.3
LEVEL
The LEVEL control adjusts the signal in the main mix, for example,
when connecting the CD/tape inputs to a CD player.
MAIN
Press the MAIN switch to route the CD signal to the main output. The CD signal
remains audible even when the MAIN MUTE switch is pressed. This allows you to
play music during performance breaks.
PHONES/SPEAKER section5.6.4
The PHONES A/B control adjusts the volume level of the headphone output.
IMPORTANT! High volume levels may damage your hearing and/or
your headphones/loudspeakers. To avoid switch-on/off thumps from
the console and any downstream devices, always make sure that the
power amp(s) or active speaker(s) are the last components that are
switched on and the first to be switched off. Always make sure that the
appropriate volume is set.
SPKR
The Speaker control adjusts the volume level of the SPEAKERS outputs.
SOURCE
The SOURCE push-button switch selects the signal source for the headphone
and loudspeaker outputs (main or CD/TAPE signal). Pressing a solo switch
routes the solo signal to these outputs and is not aected by the SOURCE
push-button switch.
MAIN B section
The mixer sum can also be routed to the MAIN B output which may be connected
to a separate power amplier. This way the sum can be sent to multiple zones
and various loudspeaker groups (for example, center clusters and front lls).
One may also want to connect a stereo recording system for live recording.
LEVEL
The LEVEL control adjusts the volume level of the signal routed to the
MAIN B output.
STEREO/MONO
The STEREO/MONO switch changes the Main B signal from mono to stereo
depending on the situation. For example, a mono signal is usually used for a
center cluster.
PRE/POST
The PRE/POST switch is used to determine whether the signal is tapped in front
or behind the MAIN A fader.
