LEVEL SETTING:
To correctly set the gains of the channels, first set the LEVEL
controls of the input channels to their center positions. Then use
the TRIM controls to increase the input amplification until signal
peaks show 0 dB on the level meter.
When recording to digital recorders, the recorders peak meter
should not go into overload. While analog recorders can be
overloaded to some extent, creating only a certain amount of
distortion, digital recorders distort quickly when overloaded. In
addition, digital distortion is not only undesirable, but also renders
your recording completely useless.
When recording to an analog device, the VU meters of the
recording machine should reach approx. +3 dB with low-
frequency signals (e.g. kick drum). Due to their inertia VU meters
tend to display too low a signal level at frequencies above 1 kHz.
This is why, for example, a Hi-Hat should only be driven as far
as -10 dB. Snare drums should be driven to approx. 0 dB.
+
The CLIP-LEDs of your XENYX display the level
virtually independent of frequency. A recording level
of 0 dB is recommended for all signal types.
MAIN MIX
Use the MAIN MIX fader to adjust the volume of the main out.
PHONES/CONTROL ROOM
Use the PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control to adjust the
signal level of the CONTROL ROOM and PHONES outputs.
CD/TAPE TO MIX
CD/TAPE TO MIX
When the CD/TAPE TO MIX switch is pressed, the CD/tape
input is assigned to the main mix providing an additional input for
tape machines, MIDI instruments or other signal sources that do
not require any processing.
CD/TAPE TO CTRL
CD/TAPE TO CTRL
Press the CD/TAPE TO CTRL switch if you want to monitor
the CD/tape input via the CTRL ROOM and PHONES outputs.
A typical studio application of this function is recording music
into a digital audio workstation (DAW) with simultaneous
reproduction (see ch. 3.1).
+
If you are recording a signal via the TAPE OUTPUT
and wish to listen to this simultaneously via the
CD/TAPE INPUT, do not use the CD/TAPE TO MIX
switch. Doing this would create a feedback loop,
since the signal would be routed, via the main mix,
back to tape via the TAPE OUTPUT. To monitor the
CD/TAPE INPUT, use the CD/TAPE TO CTRL switch
to assign the tape signal to the monitor(s) or
headphones. This will avoid the tape signal being
routed to the TAPE OUTPUT.
FX TO CONTROL
If you want to monitor only the effects signal in your
headphones or monitor speaker(s), press the FX TO CTRL
switch. Now the signal of the effects processor can be monitored
alone, and the main mix and/or CD/tape signal is no longer present
on the phone and control room outputs.

100 FIRST-CLASS EFFECTS
The XENYX 1002FX/1202FX features a built-in digital stereo
effects processor. This effects processor offers a large number
of standard effects such as Hall, Chorus, Flanger, Delay and
various combination effects. Using the FX control, you can feed
signals into the effects processor. 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.
SIGNAL and CLIP LED
SIGNAL and CLIP LED
The SIGNAL LED on the effects module shows the presence
of a signal whose level is high enough. This LED should always
be on. However, make sure that the CLIP LED lights up only
sporadically. If it is lit constantly, you are overdriving the effects
processor, which leads to unpleasant distortion. If this occurs,
turn the FX controls down somewhat.
PROGRAM
PROGRAM
The PROGRAM control has two functions: by turning the
PROGRAM control, you dial the number of an effect. The number
of the preset you just dialed up blinks in the display. To confirm
your selection, press the PROGRAM control; the blinking stops.
FX TO MAIN
FX TO MAIN
The FX TO MAIN control feeds the effects signal into the main
mix. If the control is turned all the way counterclockwise, no
effects signal is present in the sum signal of the mixing console.
The appendix contains an overview of all presets of the multi
effects processor.
