Behringer Xenyx XL1600 Manual De Propietario

XENYX XL3200/XL2400/XL1600 User Manual

INSERT
The INS(ert) connector (¼" stereo jack connector) is used to connect to external 

signal processors. Here you can hook up a compressor, noise gate or equalizer to 

process the signal of a single channel. The insert jack is placed before the fader, 

EQ and aux send. Please use an insert cable to connect to the insert point.

DIRECT OUT
This ¼" mono jack connector is a direct output which taps the signal after the 

channel fader to route it to a multi-track recorder, for example. By modifying the 

circuit board in the unit, the signal can also be tapped pre-fader (see chapter 6).

LINE L (MONO), LINE R
The stereo channels consist of two line inputs (¼" jacks), one for the left and 

one for the right channel. The inputs are balanced (TRS connectors), but it is also 

possible to connect to unbalanced plugs (TS connectors). These channels can also 

be used as mono channels by connecting to the jack labeled “L” (left).

MIC
The stereo channels also consist of XLR inputs for  connecting to microphones 

DI boxes and multicores.

+48 V
This is the phantom power for operating capacitor microphones along with the 

control LED located next to the switch and in the Trim section of the stereo channels.

OUT A
The OUT A outputs are balanced XLR connectors with a nominal operating level of 

+4 dBu and provide the main mix signal.

OUT B
The OUT B outputs provide the MAIN B signal the volume level of which can 

be controlled.

INSERT
Like the channel inserts, the INS(ert) connectors can be used to hook up a 

dynamics processor or equalizer for further processing of the mix signal on OUT A.

GROUP OUT 1 - 4
These four GROUP OUTS 1 – 4 carry the signals of the individual subgroups. 

For multi-tracking connect the outputs to the inputs of a multi-track recorder.

INSERT
Each subgroup has an insert jack which is labeled INS. Here you can connect to 

a noise gate, compressor or equalizer to process the subgroup signal as a whole. 

For example, route your background vocalists to one subgroup bus and then use 

a compressor to bring the vocals closer together. This makes it sound more like a 

choir rather than a group of individual soloists. The insert point is placed before 

the group fader, allowing the dynamics processors (noise gate, compressor, etc.) 

to be optimally used and not affected by changes in volume level of the group 

fader. Please use an insert cable to connect to the insert point.

SPEAKERS
The SPEAKERS outputs provide the same signal as the headphone outputs. 

Use these outputs to hook up  monitor speakers. This is helpful when the mixing 

console is not located close the performance but in a separate room, such as a TV 

control room. It is also possible to hook up a stage monitor, ideally one identical 

to the monitors being used on stage, to listen in on the sound as perceived from 

the stage monitors.

IN
The CD/TAPE input connectors are used to hook up CD players, tape decks or other 

line-level sources.

OUT
The CD/TAPE output connectors provide the stereo main mix signal to a tape deck 

or DAT recorder to record your mix. The signal is taken pre-fader so that it will not 

be influenced by the fader positions.
