1.2 The users manual

The users manual is designed to give you both an overview of the controls, aswell as detailed information on how to use them. In order to help you
2. Control Elements and Connectors
This chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console. Allcontrols, switches and connectors will be discussed in detail.
LOW CUT In addition, the mono channels (1002 and 1202) are equipped with a steep LOWCUT filter (slope at 18 dB/oct., -3 dB at 75 Hz) designed to eliminate unwanted low-frequency signal components. 2.1.3 FX sends, panorama and level adjustment FX (802/1002/1202 only) FX sends (or AUX sends) enable you to feed signals via a variable control from one or more channels and sum these signals to a bus. The bus appears at the consoles FX send output and can be fed from there to an external effects device. The return from the effects unit is then brought back into the console on the aux return connectors (802) or normal channel inputs. Each FX send is mono and features up to +15 dB gain. As the name suggests, the FX sends of the XENYX mixing consoles are intended to drive effects devices (reverb, Fig. 2.3: The FX send/ delay, etc) and are therefore configured post-fader. panorama/level controls This means that the mix between dry signal and effect remains at the level determined by the channels aux send, irrespective of the channel fader setting. If this were not the case, theeffects signal of the channel would remain audible even when the fader is lowered to zero. PAN The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal within the stereo image. This control features a constant-power characteristic, which means the signal is always maintained at a constant level, irrespective of position in the stereo panorama. LEVEL The LEVEL control determines the level of the channel signal in the main mix. CLIP The CLIP LEDs of the mono channels illuminate when the input signal is driven too high, which could cause distortion. If this happens, use the GAIN control to reduce the preamp level until the LED does not light anymore.

2.1 Mono channels

2.1.1 Microphone and 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. TheXENYX preamps provide undistorted and noise-free gain as is typically known only from costly outboardpreamps.
Please mute your playback system before
you activate the phantom power supply to prevent switch-on thumps being directed to your loudspeakers. Please also note the instructions in chapter 2.3.5 Phantom power and LED displays. LINE IN
Fig. 2.1: Connectors and controls of mic/line inputs
Each mono input also features a balanced line input on a " connector. Unbalanced devices (mono jacks) can also be connected to these inputs.
Please remember that you can only use either the microphone
or the line input of a channel at any one time. You can never use bothsimultaneously! GAIN Use the GAIN control to adjust the input gain. This control should always be turned fully counterclockwise whenever you connect or disconnect a signal source to one of the inputs. 2.1.2 Equalizer All mono input channels include a 3-band equalizer, except for the 502, which is equipped with a 2-band EQ. All bands provide boost or cut of up to 15 dB. Inthe central position, the equalizer is inactive. 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 effects. The result are extremely musical equalizers which, unlike simple equalizers, cause no side effects such as phase shifting or bandwidth limitation, even with extreme gain settings of 15 dB. EQ The upper (HI) and the lower band (LO) are shelving filters that increase or decrease all frequencies above or below their cut-off frequency. The cut-off frequencies of the upper and lower band are 12 kHz and 80Hz respectively. Themid band (802/1002/1202) is configured as a peak filter with a center frequency of 2.5 kHz.

2.2 Stereo channels

2.2.1 Stereo line inputs LINE IN
Fig. 2.2: The equalizer of the mono input channels
Each stereo channel has two balanced line level inputs on " jacks for left and right channels. If only the jack marked L (left) is used, the channel operates in mono. The stereo channels are designed to handle typical line level signals. Both inputs will also accept unbalanced jacks.
Fig. 2.4: Stereo line inputs
2.2.2 Equalizer stereo channels (802) The XENYX 802 features a stereo 3-band EQ in each stereo channel. The filter characteristics and cut-off frequencies are the same as those in the monochannels. A stereo EQ is highly preferable to two mono equalizers. when working on a stereo signal, astwoseparate EQs will usually produce an unwanted discrepancy between the left and rightchannels.

When using a stereo channel as effects return
Fig. 2.10: Monitor control and main mix fader
path, the FX control of the relevant channel should generally be turned fully down to avoid undesirable feedback.
If only the left connector is used, the AUX RETURN automatically operates in mono. Use the AUX RETURN control to determine how much of the effects signal is sent to the main mix.
Fig. 2.8: FX send/return controls
2.3.3 CD/Tape connectors CD/TAPE INPUT The CD/TAPE INPUTs are used to bring an external signal source (e.g. CD player, tape deck, etc.) into the console. They can also be used as a standard stereo line input, so the output of a second XENYX or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can be connected. Alternatively the line or tape output of a hi-fi amplifier with source selection switch could also be hooked up here, allowing you to easily listen to additionalsources. CD/TAPE OUTPUT These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT and carry the main mix signal (unbalanced). Connect the CD/TAPE OUTPUT to the inputs of your recording device. The output level is adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader or rotary control (802). 2.3.4 Signal assignment CD/TAPE TO MIX When the TAPE TO MIX switch is depressed, the2-track input is assigned to the main mix providing an additional input for tape machines, MIDI instruments or other signal sources that do not require any processing. CD/TAPE TO CTRL ROOM (502: CD/TAPE TO PHONES)
Fig. 2.12: Assignment switches of the main section Fig. 2.11: CD/Tape input/output
+48 V The red +48 V LED lights up when phantom power is on. The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power supply on the XLR connectors of all mono channels.
Please do not connect microphones to the mixer (or the stagebox/
wallbox) as long as the phantom power supply is switched on. Connectthe micro-phones before you switch on the power supply. Inaddition, the monitor/PA loudspeakers should be muted before you activate the phantom power supply. After switching on, wait approx. one minute in order to allow system stabilization. POWER The blue POWER LED indicates that the console is powered on. Level indicator The high-precision 4-segment display accurately displays the relevant signallevel. LEVEL SETTING: To correctly set the gains of the channels, first set the LEVEL controls of the input channels to their center positions (0 dB). Then use the GAIN controls to increase the input amplification until signal peaks show 0 dB on the level meter. When recording to digital recorders, the recorders peak meter should not go into overload. While analog recorders can be overloaded to some extent, creatingonly a certain amount of distortion (which is common and often desirable), digitalrecorders distort quickly when overloaded. In addition, digital distortion is not only undesirable, but also renders your recording completely useless.

The peak meters of your XENYX display the level virtually independent
of frequency. A recording level of 0 dB is recommended for all signaltypes.
Press the CD/TAPE TO CTRL ROOM/PHONES switch if you want to monitor the 2-track input via the CTRL ROOM OUT. This provides an easy way to monitor signals coming back from tape to ensure that they are recording correctly.
If you are recording a signal via the CD/TAPE OUTPUT and wish to

3. Installation

3.1 Mains connection
AC POWER IN Connect the power supply to the 3-pin mains connector on the rear of the console. Use the AC adapter supplied to connect the console to the mains. Theadapter complies with all applicable safety standards.
Please use only the power supply unit provided with the console. Never connect the XENYX to the power supply unit while the latter is
listen to this simultaneously via the CD/TAPE INPUT, do not use the CD/TAPE TO MIX switch. Doing this would create a feedback loop, since the signal would be routed, via the main mix, back to tape via the CD/TAPE OUTPUT. To monitor the CD/TAPEINPUT, usethe CD/TAPE TO CTRL ROOM switch to assign the tape signal to the monitor(s) or headphones. Thiswill avoid the tape signal being routed to the CD/TAPE OUTPUT. FX TO CTRL ROOM If you want to monitor only the FX send signal in your headphones or monitor speaker(s), press the FX TO CTRL switch. This mutes the main mix signal while routing the FX SEND output to the monitor(s). The XENYX 802 and 502 do not feature this switch. 2.3.5 Phantom power and LED displays
connected to the mains! First connect the console to the power supply unit, then connect the power supply unit to the mains.
Please note that both the power supply unit and the mixing console
heat up considerably during operation. This is completely normal.

3.2 Audio connections

You will need a large number of cables for different applications. Theillustrationsbelow show how the connectors should be wired. Be sure to useonly high-gradecables. Please use commercial RCA cables to connect the 2-track inputs and outputs. You can, of course, also connect unbalanced devices to the balanced inputs/ outputs. To do this, use either mono plugs or stereo plugs with the ring and sleeve bridged (pins 1 and 3 in the case of XLR connectors).
Caution! Never use unbalanced XLR connectors (PIN 1 and 3 connected)
on the MIC input connectors when using the phantom power supply.

1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations. In purchasing our EURORACK MX802A you have acquired a mixer whose small size belies its incredible versatility and superlative audio performance. Your EURORACK is built to the same outstanding quality as our top-of-the range console, the BEHRINGER EURODESK MX9000. We recommend that you experiment with your EURORACK away from the pressures of a recording session or live concert, in order to get a feel for it. It is a musical instrument. Learn to play it well. Next to the specifications in the appendix you will find pages with drawings showing the front and rear panels of your EURORACK. Keep them turned over, lying to the left of the text pages, while studying the manual. All functions are numbered consistently throughout the manual, whether in the text or on an illustration.

1.1 Architecture

Mono input channels Channels 1 - 4 are mono, with a choice of balanced mic or l ine inputs. The vintage-style high-current discrete mic amps are of the same incredible quality as those found on the acclaimed BEHRINGER EURODESK MX9000, while a large external power supply ensures low noise and superior transient response at all times. Stereo input channels A further 4 line inputs are configured as 2 stereo input channels. These are ideal for accepting outputs from MIDI and other electronic instruments. Channel outputs A high-quality rotary potentiometer feeds the main mix via a constant-power channel pan potentiometer. Aux Send There are two aux send busses on the MX802A, aux 1 is pre-fader, aux 2 is post-fader (the channels volume control). Stereo line inputs There are two line-level stereo aux returns at the top of the output section. They can be used to return stereo effects or MIDI instruments etc. In addition, a stereo tape input is provided, which may be routed to the main mix or the control room mix, giving the MX802A a total of 14 possible inputs during mixing. Channels 1 - 4 on the MX802A have overload LEDs, while the main mix output has 12-segment bargraph meters.

1.2 Before you begin

1.2.1 PSU (power supply unit) Any amplifier circuit is limited in its transient response by the available current. Every mixer has numerous line level operational amplifiers (op-amps) inside. When being driven hard, many desks begin to show signs of stress due to power supply limitations. Not so with the EURORACK. The sound will always stay clean and crisp right up to the operating limits of the op-amps themselves, thanks to the generous 20 W external power supply unit. Connect only the provided BEHRINGER power supply unit to the MX802A. Do not connect the PSU to the EURORACK while the PSU is connected to the mains supply. The correct starting sequence is: connect mixer and PSU and then connect the PSU to the mains. Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling and please do not place the MX802A on high temperature devices such as power amplifiers etc. to avoid overheating. When switched on, parts of the desk and the power supply unit will become warm, this is normal during operation.

EURORACK MX802A 1.2.2 Warranty Please take the time to fill out and return the warranty card within 14 days from the date of purchase, so as to be entitled to benefit from our extended warranty. Or use our online registration option available on the Internet at www.behringer.com. 1.2.3 Packing Your BEHRINGER MX802A was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging was designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred in 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. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.

2. MONO INPUT CHANNEL

Each mono channel comes with an XLR mic input and a balanced line input on 1/4" jack. Phantom powering is switchable from the back panel. The gain circuit has a wide range from +10 dB to +60 dB, obviating the need for mic/line switching. The crucial operating input levels +4 dBu and -10 dBV are clearly and accurately marked.

2.1 Input level setting

Mic channel input level is determined by the GAIN control. In addition to main mix metering, a channel PEAK LED illuminates when a channel is going into overload. These LEDs take their cue from post-EQ. This level sampling is particularly useful when using extreme EQ settings. There is no SOLO or PFL function on the MX802A. To accurately set input follow the procedures given in section 5: SETTING UP. However, if the PEAK LED does not light the input gain cannot be too high. If a reasonable input level is selected, auditioning a single signal should result in a reading of around 0 dB on the main mix meters , provided that both channel and output level controls are set to unity gain (0 dB).

2.2 Equalizer

All mono input channels are fitted with three-band EQ, plus a switchable low cut filter for eliminating unwanted subsonics. The upper and lower shelving controls have their frequencies fixed at 12 kHz and 80 Hz respectively. The Mid Range control has a peaking response, with Q fixed at 2 octaves, frequency at 2.5 kHz. All three bands have up to 15 dB of cut and boost, with a centre detent for off. The low cut filter , slope at 18 dB/oct., -3 dB at 75 Hz, is ideally suited for reducing floor rumble, breathing noises and popping, woolly bottom end etc. The combination of shelf boost at 80 Hz together with low cut at 75 Hz results in a peaking response, useful for adding warmth to vocals and instruments, and a firm bottom to kick drums and basses, without losing control of low frequency speaker cones.

2.3 Aux sends

Both aux sends are mono and post-EQ. Aux send 1 is set pre-fader, while aux send 2 is post-fader. For almost all FX send purposes, you will want aux sends to be post-fader, so that when a fader level is adjusted, any reverb send from that channel follows the fader. Otherwise, when the fader is pulled down, the reverb from that channel would still be audible. For cueing purposes, Aux Sends will usually be set pre-fader, i.e. independent of the channel fader.

2.4 Fading and panning

Level to the main mix bus is ultimately determined by the channel volume control. Channel pan positions the output of the channel in the stereo field. Its constant-power design ensures there are no level discrepancies whether a signal is hard-panned, centre-stage or somewhere inbetween. Such pinpoint accuracy will be a revelation if you have been working on consoles with lower quality circuits.

3. STEREO INPUT CHANNEL

Each stereo channel comes with two balanced line level inputs on 1/4" TRS jacks signals. When only the left input is connected, the channel operates in mono. , for left and right

3.1 Input level setting

The stereo inputs are designed for any line level signal. Most line level sources such as MIDI instruments and FX units will have their own output level control. Those that dont, like CD players, all have an output level within the scope of the MX802A. When the channel and master fader are set to unity gain the meters should read between -4 and +7 dB. Remember that there is 15 dB gain on both the channel as well as master fader.

3.2 Equalizer

There are no low cut filters on stereo channels, otherwise the EQ is in principle identical to that on mono channels (see 2.2), except that the EQ is stereo, of course! A stereo equalizer is generally preferable to using two mono equalizers when EQ-ing a stereo signal, as often discrepancies between left and right settings can occur.

3.3 Aux sends

It is the same as for mono channels (see 2.3). Note that a mono sum is taken from the stereo input.
3.4 Volume control and panning/balancing
The only difference here to the mono channel described in 2.4 is in the implementation of the balance control. When a channel is run in stereo, this control determines the relative balance of the left and right channel signals being sent to the left and right main mix buses. For example, with the balance control turned fully clockwise, only the right portion of the channel's stereo signal will be added to the main mix. If a stereo channel is run in mono (only the left input connected), the balance control acts as a pan in the normal way.

4. MAIN SECTION

4.1 Aux sends
Aux sends are provided on unbalanced 6.3 mm jacks. Please adjust the input level control of your effects unit to match the output level of your EURORACK. This can be done when typical signals are run through the MX802A and the aux sends are set to center (0 dB). If your effects unit does not have an input gain and the effects levels seems too low, remember that every channel aux send has up to 15 dB gain, which should be more than enough to drive any effects unit.

4.2 Stereo aux returns

There are two additional stereo line inputs (aux returns 1 and 2) on your MX802A. Their level can be adjusted with and. Aux returns 1 is permanently assigned to the main mix. If you connect a jack only to the left socket, the aux return 1 operates in mono. Aux return 2 can be switched between the main mix and the cue feed (aux send 1) via a switch marked FX TO AUX 1. This enables you to provide a wet cue mix (signal with effect i.e. reverb) for the headphones or foldback speakers. If no connection is made to aux return 2, the signal is normalled (connected directly) to aux return 1. Depressing FX TO AUX 1 will then feed the signal from aux return 1 into the cue feed (aux send 1) and can be controlled in level independently with aux return 2. This feature is primarily useful when you are using one effect for the main mix and for the foldback speakers. When using aux send 1 as a second (pre-fader) effects send and aux return 2 as the effect input, do not engage FX TO AUX 1. The connection from aux return 2 to aux send 1 could cause feedback. There are exceptions. For instance, when you want to send one effect into another, e.g. delay into chorus etc. Sometimes an engineer wants to narrow the stereo width of a reverb field. To do this you will have to come back on two mono channels to get independent panorama for the left and right signals.

4.3 Metering

Main mix level is displayed on a pair of accurate 12-segment bargraph peak meters indicate Power on and +48 V DC phantom power present. Two further LEDs
The main mix bargraph meters should average around 0 dB during loud passages. If they read persistently higher, or are peaking above +10 dB (top segment of the display) reduce either the main mix volume and/or the channel volume, or (as a last resort) channel input gain or instrument / FX unit output level.

4.4 2-track input / main mix output
Input A 2-track input, on RCA phono jacks , provides easy connection to DAT and other professional and semiprofessional audio equipment. The 2-track input is primarily for auditioning mix playback from tape. Switch 2TK TO CTRL ROOM routes this signal to the studio monitors. However, it can also be routed to the main mix via switch 2TK TO MIX. Here should be disengaged, or you will be listening to the 2-track signal twice over! With depressed you have another stereo line input available to the mix. The 2-track input could be normalled to the output of a HiFi preamp, allowing you to monitor extra sources such as vinyl, cassette, CD etc. Output deliver the main mix output to your 2-track recorder (or A single pair of electronically balanced TRS jacks PA system). RCA phono jack outputs are also provided for easy connection to DAT, cassette desk etc. Level is ultimately determined by a precision main mix volume control.

4.5 Monitoring

The MX802A has a separate headphone output. The phones signal follows the control room output A single volume control sends the level to the headphones and main monitors. The L/R meters follow the main mix.

5. SETTING UP

Experience tells us that the cables in a studio environment get tangled very quickly (inviting mistakes). A patchfield will facilitate patching and repatching considerably. The BEHRINGER ULTRAPATCH PRO PX2000 makes patching easier and trouble free, increasing both ergonomics and productivity.

5.1 Desk normalization

All board settings should be set to the normal default condition before or after every session. Usually volumes are set to zero (minus infinity), EQs set flat, and Aux Sends turned fully counter-clockwise etc.

5.2 Selecting inputs

1) Mono channels accept mic or line inputs. If you are using the mic input, make sure nothing is connected to the line input (and vice-versa). The mic inputs are more sensitive than the line inputs. Do not connect mics with phantom power switched on. Never use unbalanced mic cables with the phantom power switched on ever! Shorting the +48 V to earth can cause serious damage. 2) Stereo channels accept any line level signals. Any stereo channel can be run in mono simply by connecting into the left jack socket only. These channels are suitable for a variety of line-level sources including MIDI instruments and tape returns from multitrack. 3) Stereo aux returns are primarily designed for returning effects units, though these too may be given over to tape returns or MIDI instrument outputs.

Fig. 5.1: Setup example

5.3 Initializing channels for gain setting
1) Set Gain to minimum and all aux sends to off (fully counter-clockwise). 2) Set EQ to flat (all knobs at 12 o'clock). 3) Set the output level to unity gain ( set to 0).
5.4 Auditioning a signal and setting up a channel
1) Where applicable, engage the low cut switch frequency content. 2) Turn up channel volume to unity gain ( counter-clockwise (minus infinity). for most mics, except for signals with desired very low
to 0). All other channel volume controls should be set fully
3) Generate a signal, i.e. a voice through a microphone. There should now be some activity at the bargraph meters. 4) For mic channels: Adjust the gain control signals should not exceed 0 dB. until transient peaks are regularly hitting +6 dB. Continuous
5) For stereo channels and other stereo line inputs, use the output volume of the source instrument or FX unit to effect gain adjustment until transient peaks are regularly hitting +6 dB. Continuous signals should not exceed 0 dB. 6) Altering EQ will affect a channels gain. If EQ is adjusted at any time, repeat steps 4 or 5. 7) Turn the channels volume control fully counter-clockwise. Move onto next channel and repeat steps 1 thru 7. 8) Once all channel inputs have been set for level, turn all active channel level controls back to 0 dB. You are now ready to start mixing.

5.5 Recording levels

When recording to digital, its a good idea to keep the recorders peak meters below 0 dB. Most (not all, esp. samplers) read 0 dB with some headroom left. This is because, unlike with analog, the onset of digital distortion is as sudden as it is horrible. If you really want to take your recording level to the limit (and fully exploit 16bit digitals 96 dB dynamic range for example), youll have to do some calibrating. How to do it? Well, you could run a tone at 0 dB from the mixer and use that as your DAT or ADAT reference. But your DAT or ADAT may be way under its maximum input limit. Probably a better way to work out just how hard you can drive your recorder is to incrementally increase the record level until the onset of digital distortion, subtract, say, 5 or 10 dB, and never exceed that level. Engage peak hold on your recorder before recording if you want to confirm that you havent. Peak meters read more-or-less independent of frequency. Aim for 0 dB recording level for all signals.

5.6 Modification

The following modifications require you to do some soldering. Attempt only if you are experienced in using an iron on PCBs. Otherwise, refer to qualified personnel. After modification the BEHRINGER warranty becomes discretionary. Links should not be threaded into holes on the PCB. They should be soldered to the tinned areas around the holes, and bowed slightly upwards in between. Mono channel aux send 2 > pre-fader All mono channel aux sends 2 are post-fader. If you want to convert them, carry out the modification described below to each mono channel you want to be altered. The right PCB area is indicated by a yellow printing (see figures below). 1) 2) 3) Switch desk off and disconnect it from the mains supply! Cut the post track. Add in a pre link.
Repeat for all mono channels you want to be modified.
