7. Betjening af mixeren

Once your mixer is set up, you can begin mixing and recording audio:

7.1 Justering af inputniveauer

• Set all 'LEVEL' knobs to their minimum position.
• Speak into the microphone or play your instrument at its typical volume.
• Slowly increase the 'GAIN' knob for the microphone channel until the corresponding level meter shows a strong signal, ideally peaking in the yellow range without consistently hitting red (clipping).
• Adjust the 'LEVEL' knobs for other input channels similarly.

7.2 Using the Compressor

The 'COMP' knob on the microphone channel provides simple, effective compression. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the compression amount. The adjacent LED will illuminate to indicate when compression is active. Compression helps to smooth out dynamic peaks and valleys in your audio, making it sound more consistent.

7.3 Applying EQ

Use the 'EQ' (High and Low) knobs to shape the tone of your microphone signal. Turn the 'HIGH' knob clockwise to boost treble frequencies or counter-clockwise to cut them. Similarly, use the 'LOW' knob to boost or cut bass frequencies. Experiment to find the desired sound.

7.4 Overvågning af lyd

• Adjust the 'PHONES' knob to control the volume of your headphones.
• The '2-TR/USB' button allows you to route the USB audio playback to either the main mix or the phones/control room output.

7.5 Optagelse via USB

Once connected to your computer, the XENYX Q502USB will be recognized as an audio interface. You can then select it as your input and output device in your digital audio workstation (DAW) software or other recording applications. The main mix output of the mixer will be sent to your computer for recording.
