Behringer 1204FX Manual De Usuario

XENYX 1204FX/1204 User Manual

The MAIN outputs carry the MAIN MIX signal and are on balanced XLR connectors 
with a nominal level of +4 dBu.

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.

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: Voltage supply and fuse

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.

The mains connection is via a cable with IEC mains connector. An appropriate 
mains cable is supplied with the equipment.

Use the POWER switch to power up the mixing console.

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!

Please note the important information on the serial number given in 
chapter 1.3.3.

Fig. 3.1: Digital effects module (only 1204FX)

Here you can find a list of all presets stored in the multi-effects processor. 
This built-in effects module produces high-grade standard effects such as 
reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and various combination effects. The integrated 
effects module has the advantage of requiring no wiring. This way, the danger 
of creating ground loops or uneven signal levels is eliminated at the outset, 
completely simplifying the handling.

These effect presets are designed to be added to dry signals. If you move the 
FX TO MAIN control, you mix the channel signal (dry) and the effect signal.

This also goes for mixing effects signals with the monitor mix. The main 
difference is that the mix ratio is adjusted using the FX TO MON control. Of course, 
a signal has to be fed into the effects processor via the FX control in the channel 
strip for both applications.

The LED level meter on the effects module should display a sufficiently high 
level. Take care to ensure that the clip LED only lights up at peak levels. If it is 
lit constantly, you are overloading the effects processor and this could cause 
unpleasant distortion. The FX control (AUX SEND 2) determines the level that 
reaches the effects module.

You can select the effect preset by turning the PROGRAM control. The display 
flashes the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, press the 
button; the flashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset with the 
foot switch.
