Behringer 02222FX User Manual

XENYX 1622FX/1832FX/2222FX/2442FX

Dear Customer,
I'm sure you're 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.

During all the years I've

been involved with

studio technology and

end users, I have

developed a feel for the things that really count, such as sound

quality, reliability and ease of use. What is more, I have always

had the desire to test the boundaries of what is technically

feasible.
It was precisely this motivation that prompted me to start work

on a new series of mixing consoles. Since our EURORACKs had

already set new standards world-wide, I knew the development

objectives behind the next generation of mixing consoles had to

be especially ambitious.
Thus, the concept and design of the new XENYX mixing consoles

bear my signature. The design work, the entire circuit diagram

and PCB development, and even the mechanical concepts are

my own work. I carefully selected each individual component -

with the aim of pushing the mixing consoles' combining analog

and digital technologies to their limits.
My vision was to enable you, the user, to give free rein to your

true potential and creativity. The result is mixing consoles that

combine incredible performance with intuitive operability. They

cannot fail to impress with their extremely flexible routing

possibilities plus a fantastic wealth of functions. Innovative

technologies, such as the completely new XENYX Mic Preamps

and the "British" EQs, guarantee optimum sound quality. And

extraordinarily high-quality components provide unrivalled

reliability, even under extreme loads.
Thanks to the quality and ease of use of your new XENYX

mixing console you'll soon come to appreciate that I, both

personally and in my capacity as musician and sound engineer,

put you, the end user, first and that these products were only

possible because of the passion and the attention to detail that

went into them.
Thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing

the XENYX mixing console. I should also like to thank all those

who, with their personal commitment and passion, have helped

me create this impressive series of mixing consoles.

Kindest regards,

Uli Behringer
