Behringer Xenyx 502 Owner's Manual

XENYX 1202/1002/802/502 User Manual

+4/-10
The stereo inputs of the XENYX 1202 and 1002 have an input sensitivity switch 

which selects between +4 dBu and -10 dBV. At -10 dBV (home-recording 

level), the input is more sensitive (requires less level to drive it) than at +4 dBu 

(studio level).

AUX RETURN
802 only: the STEREO AUX RETURN connectors are used to bring the output of 

the external effects device (whose input is derived from the aux sends) back into 

the console. You can instead use these connectors as additional inputs, but any 

effects device will then have to be brought back into the console via a normal 

stereo channel. This does, however, give you the ability to use the channel EQ on 

the effects return signal if you wish.

If only the left connector is used, the AUX RETURN automatically operates in 

mono. Use the AUX RETURN control to determine how much of the effects signal 

is sent to the main mix.

FX SEND
The FX SEND output (does not apply for 502) should be connected to the input 

of an external effects unit. The post-fader FX signal you created using the 

input channel FX controls is sent to the effects unit via the FX SEND ouput. 

Use the FX SEND control of the main section to adjust the overall send level 

(1002 and 1202 only).

PHONES/CONTROL ROOM
The stereo PHONES jack (at the top of the connector panel) is where you connect 

headphones. The unbalanced CTRL ROOM OUT jacks carry the summed effects 

and main mix signals, as well as soloed channel signals. The PHONES/CONTROL 

ROOM control adjusts the level of both headphones and main monitor outputs. 

The 502 is not equipped with control room outputs.

MAIN MIX
The MAIN OUT connectors are unbalanced mono jacks. The main mix signal 

appears here at a level of 0 dBu. The MAIN MIX fader adjusts the volume of these 

outputs. The XENYX 802 and 502 mixing consoles feature a rotary control for 

this purpose.

2-TRACK INPUT
The 2-TRACK INPUTs are used to bring an external signal source (e.g. CD player, 

tape deck, etc.) into the console. They can also be used as a standard stereo line 

input, so the output of a second XENYX or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can 

be connected.

Alternatively the line or tape output of a hi-fi amplifier with source selection 

switch could also be hooked up here, allowing you to easily listen to 

additional sources.
