XENYX X2442USB/X2222USB/X1832USB/X1622USB User Manual

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. 
◊  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.
