XENYX 1222FX FOREWORD TABLE OF CONTENTS Dear Customer, Im sure youre one of those people who have devoted themselves body and soul to your chosen area and no doubt this has made you an expert in your field. Well, for over 30 years, my passion has been music and electronics. This not only led me to establish BEHRINGER, but also enabled me to share my enthusiasm with our employees.
XENYX 1222FX 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 1222FX + The block diagram supplied with the mixing console gives you an overview of the connections between the inputs and outputs, as well as the associated switches and controls. For the moment, just try and trace the signal path from the microphone input to the MON SEND connector.
XENYX 1222FX LOW CUT 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). TRIM Use the TRIM 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 1222FX CLIP LED The CLIP LED lights up when the input signal is driven too high. In this case, lower apparent frequency increase on the channel EQ to avoid distortion. For example, lower the mids and the highs somewhat to emphasize the bass. If you dont wish to change the EQ settings under any circumstances, try lowering the TRIM control somewhat (counterclockwise). In principle, the aux sends of the stereo channels function in just the same way as those of the mono channels.
FX TO MON You can use this control to insert an effects signal from the built-in effects processor to your monitor mix. Of course, to do this, your effects processor must first receive a signal, i.e. the FX controls in the channel strips must be turned up, and the FX SEND fader (see fig. 2.6) hast to be open. MON MUTE If the MON MUTE switch is pressed, the monitor bus is muted, i.e. there is no signal at the MON SEND connector. FX SEND The FX SEND fader determines the overall level of the effects bus.
XENYX 1222FX CD/TAPE MUTE Using this switch, the input signal from the CD/tape inputs is muted. CD/TAPE RET(URN) This stereo fader assigns the input signal from the CD/tape inputs into the main mix. Fig. 2.12: Main out connectors MAIN OUT The MAIN outputs carry the MAIN MIX signal and are on balanced XLR connectors with a nominal level of +4 dBu. Depending on how you wish to use your mixer and which gear you own, you can connect the following equipment: Fig. 2.
XENYX 1222FX 2.3.6 Level meter and level setting The graphic stereo equalizer allows you to tailor the sound to the room acoustics. FBQ FEEDBACK DETECTION 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. + Fig. 2.
XENYX 1222FX + + Connect microphones before you switch on the phantom power supply. Please do not connect microphones to the mixer (or the stagebox/ wallbox) while the phantom power supply is switched on. In addition, the monitor/PA loudspeakers should be muted before you activate the phantom power supply. After switching on, wait approx. one minute to allow for system stabilization. + In chapter 4.2, you will find an illustration showing how to connect your footswitch correctly.
XENYX 1222FX Fig. 4.1: 1/4" TS footswitch connector Fig. 4.4: 1/4" TRS connector 4.2.1 Audio connections Please use commercial RCA cables to wire the 2-track inputs and outputs. You can, of course, also connect unbalanced devices to the balanced input/outputs. Use either mono plugs, or ensure that ring and sleeve are bridged inside the stereo plug (or pins 1 & 3 in the case of XLR connectors).
