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 control surface of BEHRINGER mixing consoles is optimized in such a way
that these functions become easy to fulfill while the signal path remains
simple to fol ow.
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.
1.3 Before you get started
1.3.1 Shipment
Your mixing console was careful y packed in the factory to guarantee safe
transport. Nevertheless, we recommend that you careful y examine the
packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have
occurred during transit.
1.3.2 Initial operation
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling purposes and to
avoid over-heating please do not place your mixing console on high-temperature
devices such as radiators or power amps. The console is connected to the
mains via the supplied cable. The console meets the required safety standards.
Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.
◊ Please note that all units must be properly grounded. For your own
safety, you should never remove any ground connectors from electrical
devices or power cables, or render them in operative.
◊ Please ensure that only qualified people install and operate the
mixing console. During instal ation and operation, the user must have
sufficient electrical contact to earth, otherwise electrostatic discharges
might affect the operation of the unit.
2. Control Elements and Connectors
This chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console.
All controls, switches and connectors will be discussed in detail.
2.1 Mono channels
2.1.1 Microphone and line inputs
QX2222USB
QX2442USB
Fig. 2.1: Connectors and controls of mic/line inputs
MIC
Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone input via the XLR
connector and also features switchable +48 V phantom power supply for
condenser microphones. The XENYX preamps provide undistorted and noise-free
gain as is typical y known only from costly outboard preamps.
LINE IN
Each mono input also has a balanced line input on a ¼" jack. You can also connect
unbalanced devices using mono cables to these inputs.
◊ Please remember that you can use either the microphone input or the
line input of a channel, but not both at the same time!
INSERT
◊ Insert points enable the processing of a signal with dynamic processors
or equalizers. They are sourced pre-fader, pre-EQ and pre-aux send.
Detailed information on using insert points can be found in chapter 5.3.
◊ Unlike the QX2442USB, the QX1622USB, QX1832USB and QX2222USB
have their insert points located on the rear of the console.
