XENYX 1202FX/1002FX User Manual
1.  Introduction
The XENYX Series represents a milestone in the development of mixing console 
technology. With the new XENYX microphone preamps including phantom power 
as an option, balanced line inputs and a powerful effects section, the mixing 
consoles in the XENYX Series are optimally equipped for live and studio 
applications. Owing to state-of-the-art circuitry your XENYX console produces 
a warm analog sound that is unrivalled. With the addition of the latest digital 
technology these best-in-class consoles combine the advantages of both analog 
and digital technology.
The microphone channels feature high-end XENYX Mic Preamps that compare 
well with costly outboard preamps in terms of sound quality and dynamics and 
boast the following features:
130 dB dynamic range for an incredible amount of headroom
A bandwidth ranging from below 10 Hz to over 200 kHz for crystal-clear 
reproduction of even the finest nuances
The extremely low-noise and distortion-free circuitry guarantees absolutely 
natural and transparent signal reproduction
They are perfectly matched to every conceivable microphone with up to 
60 dB gain and +48 volt phantom power supply
They enable you to use the greatly extended dynamic range of your 
24-bit/192-kHz HD recorder to the full, thereby maintaining optimal 
audio quality
“British EQ”
The equalizers used for the XENYX Series are based on the legendary circuitry of 
top-notch consoles made in Britain, which are renowned throughout the world 
for their incredibly warm and musical sound character. Even with extreme gain 
settings these equalizers ensure outstanding audio properties.
Multi-effects processor
Additionally, your XENYX mixing console has an effects processor with 24-bit A/D 
and D/A converters included, which gives you 100 presets producing first-class 
reverb, delay and modulation effects plus numerous multi-effects in excellent 
audio quality.

Caution!
◊ 
We should like to draw your attention to the fact that extreme volumes 
may damage your hearing and/or your headphones or loudspeakers. 
Turn the MAIN MIX control and PHONES control in the main section fully 
counterclockwise before you switch on the unit. Always be careful to 
set appropriate volume levels.
1.1  General mixing console functions 
A mixing console fulfils three main functions:
Signal processing: 
Preamplification
Microphones convert sound waves into voltage that has to be amplified 
several-fold; then, this voltage is turned into sound that is reproduced 
in a loudspeaker. Because micro phone capsules are very delicate in their 
construction, output voltage is very low and therefore susceptible to 
interference. Therefore, mic signal voltage is amplified directly at the mixer 
input to a higher signal level that is less prone to interference. This higher, 
interference-safe signal level has to be achieved through amplification using 
an amplifier of the highest quality in order to amplify the signal and add 
as little noise to it as possible. The XENYX Mic Preamp performs this role 
beautifully, leaving no traces of noise or sound coloration. Interference that 
could take place at the preamplification level could affect signal quality 
and purity, and would then be passed on to all other devices, resulting in 
inaccurate sounding program during recording or playback.
Level-setting
Signals fed into the mixer using a DI-box (Direct Injection) or the output of a 
sound card or a keyboard, often have to be adjusted to the operating level of 
your mixing console.
Frequency response correction
Using the equalizers found in each channel strip, you can simply, quickly and 
effectively adjust the way a signal sounds.
Signal distribution: 
Individual, processed signals from the channel strips are compiled on busses 
and are fed into the main section for further processing. Connections for 
recording equipment, power amplifiers, headphones as well as CD/tape 
connectors are available here. The mix is sent to the internal FX processors or 
external effects processors via aux sends and returns. Similarly, a mix can be 
created for the musicians on the stage (monitor mix).
Mix: 
All other mixing console functions fall under this vital category. Creating a 
mix means primarily adjusting the volume levels of individual instruments 
and voices to one another as well as giving them the appropriate weight 
within the overall frequency spectrum. Likewise, you’ll have to sensibly 
spread individual voices across the stereo image of a signal. At the end of 
this process, adjusting the level of the entire mix to other equipment in the 
signal path is required (e. g. recorder/crossover/amplifier).
The interface of BEHRINGER mixing consoles is optimized for these tasks, 
enabling you to easily keep track of the signal path.
1.2  The user’s manual
The user’s manual is designed to give you both an overview of the controls, 
as well as detailed information on how to use them. In order to help you 
understand the links between the controls, we have arranged them in groups 
according to their function. If you need to know more about specific issues, 
please visit our website at http://behringer.com. Additional information and 
explanations about various music industry/audio technology terminology 
can be found on individual product pages as well as in the glossary area 
of behringer.com.

The block diagram supplied with the mixing console gives you an 
overview of the connections between the inputs and outputs, as well 
as the associated switches and controls.
For the moment, just try and trace the signal path from the microphone input 
to the FX SEND connector. Don’t be put off by the huge range of possibilities; 
it’s easier than you think! If you look at the overview of the controls at the same 
time, you’ll be able to quickly familiarize yourself with your mixing console and 
you’ll soon be making the most of all its many possibilities.
