Impostare

Proper setup is crucial for optimal performance of your Xenyx 802S mixer. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Disimballaggio: Carefully unpack the mixer and inspect it for any signs of damage. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Collegamento elettrico: Connect the supplied power adapter to the mixer's power input and then to a suitable AC outlet. Ensure the mixer is turned off before connecting or disconnecting power.
3. Microphone Connections (MIC 1, MIC 2):

   Use XLR cables to connect your microphones to the MIC 1 and MIC 2 inputs. These inputs feature XENYX mic preamps for high-quality audio. For condenser microphones requiring phantom power, ensure the +48V PHANTOM switch is engaged (located in the MAIN section). The +10 and +60 gain switches allow for adjusting input sensitivity.
