Behringer Xenyx 802 - Connector Panel and Main Section

XENYX 502/802/1002/1202
FX
The FX sends of the stereo channels function similar to those
of the mono channels. However, since the FX send buses are
both mono, a mono sum is first taken from the stereo input before
it is sent to the FX bus. The 502 is not equipped with FXsends.
BAL
The BAL(ANCE) control determines the levels of left and right
input signals relative to each other before both signals are then
routed to the main stereo mix bus. If a channel is operated in
mono via the left line input, this control has the same function as
the PAN control used in the mono channels.
LEVEL
The LEVEL control determines the volume of the channel being
sent to the main mix.
+4/-10
The stereo inputs of the XENYX 1002 and 1202 have an input
sensitivity switch which selects between +4 dBu and -10 dBV.
At -10dBV (home-recording level), the input is more sensitive
(requires less level to drive it) than at +4 dBu (studio level).

STEREO AUX RETURN
802 only: the STEREO AUX RETURN connectors are used to
bring the output of the external effects device (whose input is
derived from the aux sends) back into the console. You can
instead use these connectors as additional inputs, but any effects
device will then have to be brought back into the console via a
normal stereo channel. This does, however, give you the ability
to use the channel EQ on the effects return signal if you wish.
+ When using a stereo channel as effects return 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.
FX SEND
The FX SEND output (does not apply for 502) should be
connected to the input of an external effects unit. The post-
fader FX signal you created using the input channel FX controls
is sent to the effects unit via the FX SEND ouput. Use the FX
SEND control of the main section to adjust the overall send level
(1002 and 1202 only).
2.3.2 Monitor and main mix

PHONES/CONTROL ROOM
The stereo PHONES jack (at the top of the connector panel) is
where you connect headphones. The unbalanced CTRL ROOM
OUT jacks carry the summed effects and main mix signals, as
well as soloed channel signals. The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM
control adjusts the level of both headphones and main monitor
outputs. The 502 is not equipped with control room outputs.
MAIN MIX
The MAIN OUT connectors are unbalanced mono jacks. The
main mix signal appears here at a level of 0 dBu. The MAIN MIX
fader adjusts the volume of these outputs. The XENYX 802 and 502
mixing consoles feature a rotary control for this purpose.
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 additional sources.
