With the new XENYX microphone preamps including phantom power as an option, balanced line inputs and a powerful effects section, the mixing Page 4: Introduction This higher, interference-safe signal level has to be achieved through amplification The equalizers used for the XENYX Series are based on the legendary circuitry of using an amplifier of the highest quality in order to amplify the signal and top-notch consoles made in Britain, which are renowned throughout the world add as little noise to it as possible.

For your own condenser microphones. The XENYX preamps provide undistorted and noise-free gain as is typically known only from costly outboard preamps. If you connect the output of a hi-fi instruments or other signals here that do not require any further processing. The solo bus is, as a rule, taken post-fader. Page Rear Panel Connectors 5. These unbalanced phone jacks are post-EQ, post-mute and post-fader. Installation 5. The illustrations below show the wiring of these cables.

Be sure to use only high-grade cables. Page 26 We Hear You This manual is also suitable for: Xenyx qxusb Xenyx qxusb Xenyx qxusb. Print page 1 Print document 26 pages. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the appliance.

The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that is described in the Operating Instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

It is one of my most pleasant tasks to write this letter to you, because it is the culmination of many months of hard work delivered by our engineering team to reach a very ambitious goal: creating an outstanding device that will become a standard tool used by studios and PA companies.

The task to design the MXA certainly meant a great deal of responsibility, which we assumed by focusing on you, the discerning user and musician. It also meant a lot of work and night shifts to accomplish this goal. But it was fun, too. In return, we guarantee you uncompromising quality manufactured under ISO certified management system as well as excellent technical and audio properties at an extremely affordable price.

All of this will enable you to fully unfold your creativity without being hampered by budget constraints. We are often asked how we are able to produce such high-grade devices at such unbelievably low prices.

Many satisfied customers means large sales volumes enabling us to get better conditions of purchase for components, etc. Because we know that your success is our success, too! Everybody has made very personal contributions, starting from the designers of the unit via the many staff members in our company to you, the user of BEHRINGER products.

Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.

Shipping claims must be made by the consignee. Most specialist subjects are not really all that difficult provided you understand the language used, and the vocabulary of mixing is pretty straight-forward. Nevertheless, it should be clear what certain terms mean. A group will always refer to a sub-mix of channels.

Working with complex systems like live or studio mixing consoles, it is impossible to deal with all the features and possibilities at the same time. Sometimes you will find cross references where subjects overlap. You will, for example, find information about channel EQs in chapters 3. The block diagram is shown, too. Always keep this sheet available while studying this manual. The MXA is a typical split console. As such, the inputs and outputs occupy separate areas of the board.

The main section on the right hand side handles all the outputs as well as 4 stereo aux returns and a 2-track tape input while the input channels are located on the left. The configuration is 24 into 4 into 2. This means that there are 24 channel inputs in total there are 16 mono and four stereo channels , assignable to four subgroup buses plus the main mix which in turn may be blended into the main mix stereo output. The subgroups configurable as stereo pairs if required are provided for connecting to a multitrack tape recorder, or for use as a mixing aid during mix-down or during a live concert.

Every channel, and both stereo aux returns can access at least one of the four existing subgroups, or the main mix directly, via comprehensive routing matrices.

Four out of six aux sends can be accessed simultaneously. Every single input channel can be routed in two ways to the aux send buses: two preand four post-, or six post-fader, for live or studio operating environments respectively. A constant-power channel PAN also selects between odd and even-numbered subgroup buses.

Each has its own individual output, and each may also be assigned to the main mix. The main mix output level is being controlled via a pair of high-quality 60 mm faders.
