Level-setting
Signals fed into the mixer using a DI-box (Direct 
Injection) or the output of a sound card or a keyboard, 
often have to be adjusted to the operating level of your 
mixing console.
Frequency response correction
Using the equalizers found in each channel strip, you can 
simply, quickly and effectively adjust the way a signal 
sounds.
Effects mixing
In addition to the effects processor contained in your 
mixer, using the insert connectors on the mono channels 
and both aux busses lets you insert additional signal 
processors into your signal path.
Signal distribution
Individual signals adjusted at each channel strip are laid 
out at the aux sends and returns, and are either fed into 
external effects processors or fed back to the internal 
effects processor. Then, the signals are brought back into 
the main mix either via the aux return connectors or via 
direct internal wiring. The mix for the on-stage musicians 
is also created using the aux sends (monitor mix). 
Similarly, for example, signals for recording equipment, 
power ampli fiers, headphones and 2-track outputs can 
also be taken.
Mix
All other mixing console functions fall under this vital category. 
Creating a mix means primarily adjusting the volume 
levels of individual instruments and voices to one another 
as well as giving them the appropriate weight within the 
overall frequency spectrum. Likewise, you’ll have to sensibly 
spread individual voices across the stereo image of a signal. 
At the end of this process, adjusting the level of the entire 
mix to other equipment in the signal path is required (e. g. 
recorder/crossover/amplifier).
The control surface of BEHRINGER mixing consoles is  
opti-mized in such a way that these functions become easy 
to fulfil while the signal path remains simple to follow.
The user’s manual
1.2  
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. If you need to know more about specific 
issues, please visit our website at http://www.behringer.com. 
Additional information and explanations about various 
music industry/audio technology terminology can be found 
on individual product pages as well as in the glossary. 
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.
Before you get started
1.3  
Shipment
1.3.1  
Your mixing console was carefully packed in the factory to 
guarantee safe transport. Nevertheless, we recommend 
that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents 
for any signs of physical damage, which may have 
occurred during transit.
If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to us, 
◊ 
but notify your dealer and the shipping company 
immediately, otherwise claims for damage or 
replacement may not be granted.
Initial operation
1.3.2  
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for 
cooling purposes and to avoid over-heating please do not 
place your mixing console on high-temperature devices 
such as radiators or power amps. The console is connected 
to the mains via the supplied cable. The console meets 
the required safety standards. Blown fuses must only be 
replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.
Please note that all units must be properly grounded. 
◊ 
For your own safety, you should never remove any 
ground connectors from electrical devices or power 
cables, or render them in operative.
Please ensure that only qualified people install and 
◊ 
operate the mixing console. During installation and 
operation, the user must have sufficient electrical 
contact to earth, otherwise electrostatic discharges 
might affect the operation of the unit.
Online registration
1.3.3  
Please do remember to register your new BEHRINGER 
equipment right after your purchase by visiting  
www.behringer.com (alternatively www.behringer.de) and 
kindly read the terms and conditions of our warranty carefully.
Should your BEHRINGER product malfunction, our goal 
is to have it repaired as quickly as possible. To arrange for 
warranty service, please contact the retailer from whom the 
equipment was purchased. Should your BEHRINGER dealer 
not be located in your vicinity, you may directly contact 
one of our subsidiaries. Corresponding contact information 
is included in the original equipment packaging (Global 
Contact Information/European Contact Information). Should 
your country not be listed, please contact the distributor 
nearest you. A list of distributors can be found in the support 
area of our website (www.behringer.com).
Registering your purchase and equipment with us helps us 
process your repair claims quicker and more efficiently. 
Thank you for your cooperation!
CONTROL ELEMENTS AND 
2.  
CONNECTORS 
This chapter describes the various control elements of your 
mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be 
discussed in detail.
Mono channels
2.1  
Microphone and line inputs
2.1.1  
Fig. 2.1: Connectors and controls of mic/line inputs
MIC
Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone 
input via the XLR connector and also features switchable  
+48 V phantom power supply for condenser microphones. 
The XENYX preamps provide undistorted and noise-free gain 
as is typically known only from costly outboard preamps.
Please mute your monitor system before you switch 
◊ 
on phantom power. Otherwise potentially damaging 
thumps will be sent to your speakers. Please also 
note the instructions in chapter 5.5 “Voltage supply, 
phantom power and fuse”.
LINE IN
Each mono input also has a balanced line input on a ¼" jack. 
You can also connect unbalanced devices using mono jacks 
to these inputs.
Please remember that you can use either the 
◊ 
microphone input or the line input of a channel, but 
not both at the same time!
INSERT
Insert points enable the processing of a signal with 
◊ 
dynamic processors or equalizers. They are sourced 
pre-fader, pre-EQ and pre-aux send. Detailed 
information on using insert points can be found in 
chapter 5.3.
Unlike the 2442FX, the 1622FX, 1832FX and 2222FX 
◊ 
have their insert points located on the rear of the 
console.
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. 
The scale has 2 different value ranges: the first value range 
(+10 to +60 dB) refers to the MIC input and shows the 
amplification for the signals fed in there.
The second value range (+10 to -40 dB) refers to the line 
input and shows its sensitivity. The settings for equipment 
with st andard line-level signals (-10 dBV or +4 dBu) look 
like this: While the GAIN control is turned all the way down, 
connect your equipment. Set the GAIN control to the 
external devices’ standard output level. If that unit has an 
output signal level display, it should show 0 dB during signal 
peaks. For +4 dBu, turn up GAIN slightly, for -10 dBV a bit 
more. Fine-tuning of a signal being fed in is done using the 
level meter. To route the channel signal to the level meter, 
you have to press the SOLO switch and set the MODE switch 
in the main section to PFL (LEVEL SET).
Using the GAIN control, drive the signal to the 0-dB mark. 
This way you have a vast amount of drive headroom for use 
with very dynamic signals. The CLIP display should light up 
only rarely, preferably never. While fine-tuning, the equalizer 
should be set to neutral.
LOW CUT
Additionally, the mono channels of the mixing consoles have 
a high-slope LOW CUT filter for eliminating unwanted, low-
frequency signal components (75 Hz, 18 dB/octave).
Equalizer
2.1.2  
All mono input channels have a 3-band equalizer with semi-
parametric mid bands. All bands provide boost or cut of up 
to15 dB. In the central position, the equalizer is off (flat).
The circuitry of the British EQs is based on the technology 
used in the best-known top-of-the-line consoles and 
providing a warm sound without any unwanted side effects. 
The result are extremely musical equalizers which, unlike 
simple equalizers, cause no side effects such as phase 
shifting or bandwidth limitation, even with extreme gain 
settings of ±15 dB.
