Fig. 2.14: Main mix outputs, Alt 3-4 outputs and control room outputs

MAIN OUTPUTS
The MAIN outputs carry the MAIN MIX signal and are on balanced XLR connectors 

with a nominal level of +4 dBu.

ALT 3-4 OUTPUTS
The ALT 3-4 outputs are unbalanced and carry the signals of the channels that 

you have assigned to this group using the MUTE switch. This can be used to route 

a subgroup to a further mixing console for example, or or it could be used as a 

recording output working in tandem with the main output. This means you could 

record to four tracks simultaneously. The icing on the cake, so to speak, is that 

you could connect Y-cables to these four outputs and then connect your 8-track 

recorder in such a way that you have 2 x 4 tracks (e.g. channel 1 feeds track 1 and 

track 2, etc.). In the first recording pass, you record on tracks 1, 3, 5 and 7 and in 

the second pass, on tracks 2, 4, 6 and 8.

CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS
The control room output is normally connected to the monitor system in the 

control room and provides the stereo mix or, when required, the solo signal.

Fig. 2.15 USB input/output

The XENYX mixer line has built-in USB connectivity, allowing stereo signals to 

be sent to and from the mixer and a computer. The audio sent from the mixer to 

a computer is identical to the MAIN MIX. Audio being sent to the mixer from a 

computer can be routed to the main mix with the 2-TR/USB TO MAIN button.
Connect the USB type B plug into the USB jack on the mixer, and the other end 

into a free USB port on your computer. There are no required drivers, but we 

recommend that PC users install the included ASIO driver. The driver can also be 

downloaded from behringer.com.

Fig. 2.16: Voltage supply and fuse

FUSE HOLDER
The console is connected to the mains via the cable supplied which meets the 

required safety standards. Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the 

same type and rating.

IEC MAINS RECEPTACLE
The mains connection is via a cable with IEC mains connector. An appropriate 

mains cable is supplied with the equipment.

POWER
Use the POWER switch to power up the mixing console.

PHANTOM
The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power supply for the XLR 

connectors of the mono channels which is required to operate condenser 

microphones. The red +48 V LED lights up when phantom power is on. As a 

rule, dynamic microphones can still be used with phantom power switched 

on, provided that they are wired in a balanced configuration. In case of doubt, 

contact the microphone manufacturer!

SERIAL NUMBER
Please note the important information on the serial number given in 

chapter 1.3.3.
