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.

CD/TAPE INPUT
The CD/TAPE INPUT RCA connectors are provided for
connecting a 2-track machine (e.g. DAT recorder) or also a CD
player. They can also be used as stereo line input. Alternatively,
the output signal of a second XENYX or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK
PRO MX882 can also be connected. If you connect a hi-fi amplifier
with a source selection switch to the CD/TAPE INPUT, you can
easily switch between additional sources (e.g. cassette recorder,
MDplayer, sound card etc.).
Using the voice canceller function, you can process all signals
being brought into your mixing console via these connectors.
CD/TAPE OUTPUT
These connectors are wired pre graphic EQ and pre XPQ
surround function. They carry the main mix signal (unbalanced),
effects mix included. Connect the CD/TAPE OUTPUT to the inputs
of your recording device. If you wish to use your mixer solely for
recording purposes, the main outputs are also an alternative.

MAIN MIX
Use the high-precision quality faders to control the output level
of the main mix.

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:
Live PA systems:
A stereo dynamics processor (optional), stereo equalizer
(optional) and the stereo power amplifier for full-range loud-
speakers with passive crossovers.
If you wish to use multi-way loudspeaker systems without an
integrated crossover, you have to use an active crossover and
several power amplifiers. Often, limiters are already built into
active crossovers (e.g. BEHRINGER SUPER-X PRO CX2310 and
ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496). Active crossovers are implemented
directly before the power amplifier, and they divide the frequency
range into several segments that are first amplified in the amplifiers
and then passed onto the corresponding loudspeakers.
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.
PHONES
The PHONES control adjusts the volume of the headphones
connected to the PHONS/CTRL connector. If you connect active
monitors or an amplifier, use this connector to adjust the output
signal level.
CAUTION!
+ We would like to draw your attention to the fact that
extreme volumes may damage your hearing and/
or your headphones or loudspeakers. Turn the
MAIN MIX faders and the PHONES control in the main
section fully down before you switch on the unit.
Always be careful to set the appropriate volume.

PHONS/CTRL connector
You can connect headphones to this 1/4" TRS connector. The
connector can also be used for feeding active monitor
loudspeakers (or an amplifier) in your control room. For this
purpose, the signal is taken directly before it is passed on to the
main mix faders.
