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 eectively adjust the way a signal

sounds.

Eects mixing

In addition to the eects processor contained in your

mixer, using the insert connectors on the mono channels

and both aux busses lets you insert additional signal

processors into your signal path.

Signal distribution• :

Individual signals adjusted at each channel strip are laid

out at the aux sends and returns, and are either fed into

external eects processors or fed back to the internal

eects processor. Then, the signals are brought back into

the main mix either via the aux return connectors or via

direct internal wiring. The mix for the on-stage musicians

is also created using the aux sends (monitor mix).

Similarly, for example, signals for recording equipment,

power ampli ers, headphones and 2-track outputs can

also be taken.

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/amplier).

The control surface of BEHRINGER mixing consoles is

opti-mized in such a way that these functions become easy

to full while the signal path remains simple to follow.

The user’s manual1.2

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 specic

issues, please visit our website at http://www.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.

Before you get started1.3

Shipment1.3.1

Your mixing console was carefully packed in the factory to

guarantee safe transport. Nevertheless, we recommend

that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents

for any signs of physical damage, which may have

occurred during transit.

If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to us, ◊

but notify your dealer and the shipping company

immediately, otherwise claims for damage or

replacement may not be granted.

Initial operation1.3.2

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 qualied people install and ◊

operate the mixing console. During installation and

operation, the user must have sucient electrical

contact to earth, otherwise electrostatic discharges

might aect the operation of the unit.

Online registration1.3.3

Please do remember to register your new BEHRINGER

equipment right after your purchase by visiting

www.behringer.com (alternatively www.behringer.de) and

kindly read the terms and conditions of our warranty carefully.

Should your BEHRINGER product malfunction, our goal

is to have it repaired as quickly as possible. To arrange for

warranty service, please contact the retailer from whom the

equipment was purchased. Should your BEHRINGER dealer

not be located in your vicinity, you may directly contact

one of our subsidiaries. Corresponding contact information

is included in the original equipment packaging (Global

Contact Information/European Contact Information). Should

your country not be listed, please contact the distributor

nearest you. A list of distributors can be found in the support

area of our website (www.behringer.com).

Registering your purchase and equipment with us helps us

process your repair claims quicker and more eciently.

Thank you for your cooperation!

CONTROL ELEMENTS AND 2.

CONNECTORS

This chapter describes the various control elements of your

mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be

discussed in detail.

Mono channels2.1

Microphone and line inputs2.1.1

Fig. 2.1: Connectors and controls of mic/line inputs

MIC

Each mono input channel oers 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 typically known only from costly outboard preamps.

Please mute your monitor system before you switch ◊

on phantom power. Otherwise potentially damaging

thumps will be sent to your speakers. Please also

note the instructions in chapter 5.5 “Voltage supply,

phantom power and fuse”.

LINE IN

Each mono input also has a balanced line input on a ¼" jack.

You can also connect unbalanced devices using mono jacks

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 2442FX, the 1622FX, 1832FX and 2222FX ◊

have their insert points located on the rear of the

console.

GAIN

Use the GAIN control to adjust the input gain. This control

should always be turned fully counter-clockwise whenever

you connect or disconnect a signal source to one of the

inputs.

The scale has 2 dierent value ranges: the rst value range

(+10 to +60 dB) refers to the MIC input and shows the

amplication for the signals fed in there.

The second value range (+10 to -40 dB) refers to the line

input and shows its sensitivity. The settings for equipment

with st andard line-level signals (-10 dBV or +4 dBu) look

like this: While the GAIN control is turned all the way down,

connect your equipment. Set the GAIN control to the

external devices’ standard output level. If that unit has an

output signal level display, it should show 0 dB during signal

peaks. For +4 dBu, turn up GAIN slightly, for -10 dBV a bit

more. Fine-tuning of a signal being fed in is done using the

level meter. To route the channel signal to the level meter,

you have to press the SOLO switch and set the MODE switch

in the main section to PFL (LEVEL SET).

Using the GAIN control, drive the signal to the 0-dB mark.

This way you have a vast amount of drive headroom for use

with very dynamic signals. The CLIP display should light up

only rarely, preferably never. While ne-tuning, the equalizer

should be set to neutral.

LOW CUT

Additionally, the mono channels of the mixing consoles have

a high-slope LOW CUT lter for eliminating unwanted, low-

frequency signal components (75 Hz, 18 dB/octave).

Equalizer2.1.2

All mono input channels have a 3-band equalizer with semi-

parametric mid bands. All bands provide boost or cut of up

to15 dB. In the central position, the equalizer is o (at).

The circuitry of the British EQs is based on the technology

used in the best-known top-of-the-line consoles and

providing a warm sound without any unwanted side eects.

The result are extremely musical equalizers which, unlike

simple equalizers, cause no side eects such as phase

shifting or bandwidth limitation, even with extreme gain

settings of ±15 dB.
