XENYX X1222USB User Manual 1. Introduction FBQ Feedback Detection System The FBQ Feedback Detection System, integrated into the graphic equalizer, is one of the most outstanding characteristics of this mixing console. This ingenious circuitry lets you immediately recognize and eliminate feedback frequencies. The FBQ Feedback Detection System uses the LEDs in the frequency band faders of the graphic EQ to indicate the critical frequencies.
XENYX X1222USB User Manual 1.2 The user’s manual 2. Control Elements and Connectors The user’s manual is designed to give you both an overview of the controls, as well as detailed information on how to use them. In order to help you understand the links between the controls, we have arranged them in groups according to their function. This chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be discussed in detail. 1.
XENYX X1222USB User Manual LOW CUT 2.1.3 Aux sends (MON and FX) The mono channels of the mixing consoles have a high-slope LOW CUT filter for eliminating unwanted, low-frequency signal components (80 Hz, 18 dB/octave). GAIN Use the GAIN control to adjust the input gain. This control should always be turned fully counter-clockwise whenever you connect or disconnect a signal source to one of the inputs.
XENYX X1222USB User Manual PAN The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal within the stereo image. This control features a constant-power characteristic, which means the signal is always maintained at a constant level, irrespective of position in the stereo panorama. MUTE Use the MUTE switch to mute the channel. This means that the channel signal is no longer present in the main mix. However, the aux sends (MON and FX) remain active.
XENYX X1222USB User Manual MON SEND The aux send control MON SEND acts as master control for the monitor bus and determines the level of the summed signal that is taken from the mixer via the MON SEND connector and that can for example be fed to an amplifier for monitor purposes. Using the audio signal from this output, you can also feed a subwoofer if you don’t require stage monitors.
XENYX X1222USB User Manual VOICE CANCELLER CD/TAPE OUTPUT Here, you have a filter circuitry that lets you almost entirely remove the vocal portion of a recording. The filter is constructed in such a way that voice frequencies are targeted without majorly affecting the rest of the signal. Additionally, the filter seizes only the middle of the stereo image, exactly there where the vocals are typically located. These connectors are wired pre graphic EQ and pre XPQ surround function.
XENYX X1222USB User Manual Recording: For mastering, using a stereo compressor such as the COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600 can be recommended. Use it to custom-tailor the dynamic characteristics of your signal to the dynamic range of the recording equipment you are using. The signal is in this case passed on from the compressor into the recorder. ◊ Connect microphones before you switch on the phantom power supply.
XENYX X1222USB User Manual FBQ FEEDBACK DETECTION PHANTOM The switch turns on the FBQ Feedback Detection System. It uses the LEDs in the frequency band faders to indicate the critical frequencies. On a per-need basis, lower the frequency range in question somewhat in order to avoid feedback. The graphic stereo equalizer has to be turned on in order to use this function.
XENYX X1222USB User Manual FOOTSWITCH Connect a standard footswitch to the footswitch connector; use this to switch the effects processor on and off. A flashing dot at the bottom of the display indicates if the effects processor is muted via the footswitch. ¼" TS footswitch connector strain relief clamp sleeve tip ◊ In chapter 4.2, you will find an illustration showing how to connect your footswitch correctly. sleeve pole 1/ground tip pole 2 Fig. 3.
