Possible applications for the Voice Canceller are obvious: you can very simply

stage background music for Karaoke events. Of course, you can also do this at

home or at your rehearsal room before you hit the stage. Singers with their own

band can practice singing dicult parts using a complete playback from a tape

player or a CD, thus minimizing rehearsal time.

CD/TAPE INPUT

The CD/TAPE INPUT jacks (RCA) are designed to accept a 2-track recorder

(e.g.DAT recorder), or they can be used as stereo line input. The output signal of

a second XENYX or the BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can also be connected

here. If you connect the output of a hi- amplier (with a source selection switch)

to the CD/TAPE INPUT, you can easily listen to additional sources (e.g. cassette

recorder, MDplayer, sound card, etc.).

Using the voice canceller function (X1832USB only), you can process all signals

being brought into your mixing console via these connectors.

CD/TAPE OUTPUT

These connectors are wired in parallel to the MAIN OUT and carry the main mix

signal (unbalanced). Connect this to the inputs of your recording device. The nal

output level can be adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader.

◊ If you connect a compressor or a noise gate post 2-track output,

the main mix fader will probably not be able to create a satisfactory

fade-out effect.

2.3.9 Lamp socket (X2442USB only)

Use this BNC socket to connect a gooseneck lamp (12 V DC, max. 0.5 A).

2.3.10 Level meter and monitoring

X2442USB

CD/TAPE

The CD/TAPE switch routes the signal from the CD/TAPE INPUT jacks to the level

meter, the CONTROL ROOM OUT outputs and the PHONES jack—this is a simple

way to check recorded signals via monitor speakers or headphones.

SUB 1-2 or SUB

The SUB 1-2 switch routes subgroup 1-2 to the level meter, CONTROL ROOM OUT

and phones.

SUB 3-4

The SUB 3-4 switch performs a similar function for subgroup 3-4

(X2442USBonly).

MAIN MIX

The MAIN MIX switch sends the main mix to the CONTROL ROOM OUT and the

PHONES output as well as to the level meter.

PHONES/CTRL ROOM

Use this control to adjust the control room output level and the

headphonesvolume.

CD/TAPE TO MAIN

When the CD/TAPE TO MAIN switch is depressed, the 2-track input is routed to

the main mix and thus serves as an additional input for tape machines. Youcan

also connect MIDI instruments or other signals here that do not require any

further processing. At the same time, this switch disables the main mix to tape

output link.

POWER

The blue POWER LED indicates that the device is switched on.

+48 V

The red “+48 V” LED lights up when phantom power is switched on.

Phantompower is required to operate condenser microphones.

◊ While phantom power is switched on, do not connect or disconnect

microphones on the mixer (or the stagebox/wallbox). Connect any

micro-phones before switching on phantom power. Additionally,

monitor/PA speakers should be muted before you activate the phantom

power supply. After switching on, wait approx. one minute before

adjusting the input gain so that the system has time to stabilize.

2. 3.11 Level Meter

The high-precision level meters always give you an accurate display of

signallevel.

LEVEL SETTING:

When recording to digital recorders, the recorder’s meter should not go into

overload. This is because, unlike analog recordings, it takes only slightly excessive

levels to create unpleasant digital distortion.

When recording to analog, the VU meters of the recording machine should reach

approx. +3 dB with low-frequency signals (e.g. kick drum). Due to their inertia,

VU meters tend to display too low a signal level at frequencies above 1 kHz.

Youshould only drive instruments such as a Hi-Hat as far as -10dB. Snaredrums

should be driven to approx. 0 dB.

◊ The peak meters of your XENYX display level almost independent of

frequency. A recording level of 0 dB is recommended for all types

of signal.

MODE

The MODE switch determines whether the channels’ SOLO switch operates as PFL

(Pre Fader Listen) or as solo (Solo In Place).
