1. Channel Input Jacks (channels 1 - 4)
MIC – XLR connector –
Use these XLR jacks to connect
low impedance microphones to the XP510i’s built-in
mic preamps.
LINE - 1/4-inch phone connector –
Use these 1/4”
jacks to connect instrument or audio sources with
line-level signals to the XP510i. You can connect the
outputs from acoustic guitar pickups, keyboards, drum
machines, CD/MP3/TAPE players and other units with
line level outputs here.
2. Stereo Channel Input Jacks (channels
5/6, 7/8, 9/10)
For stereo inputs, use the LINE L to connect the left
channel and the LINE R to connect the right chan-
nel. Use these inputs to connect high impedance
microphones, synthesizers, drum machines, MP3, CD,
tape players or any other line level device. The XP510i
features both 1/4” phone and RCA connectors.
3. MIC/LINE switch (channels 1 - 4)
The MIC position changes the gain of both input jacks
to MIC level. The LINE position reduces the gain of both
jacks by 30dB to line level.
4. LIMIT/COMP switch
Set the LIMIT/COMP switch to the COMP position to
apply compression or set it to the LIMIT position to
apply limiting.
5. Equalizer control knobs
HIGH FREQUENCY (HF) –
The HF knob controls the
amount of Treble applied to each channel. The chan-
nel’s HIGH frequency response is flat when the knob
is in the “12:00” position. Rotating the knob to the
right will boost the channel’s high frequency response
above 10 kHz by 15 dB, and rotating it towards the left
will cut the high frequency response by 15 dB.
LOW FREQUENCY (LF) –
The LF knob controls the
amount of Bass applied to each channel. The channel’s
LOW frequency response is flat when the knob is in
the “12:00” position. Rotating the knob to the right will
boost the channel’s low frequency response below 100
Hz by 15 dB, and rotating it towards the left will cut the
low frequency response by 15 dB.
6. REVERB switch
Use the REVERB switch to add an effect to a Mic or
Line input on any of the inputs 1 – 4. The REVERB LED
indicator lights GREEN when the REVERB is ON.
7. VOLUME control knob
This knob sets the overall level for the Mic or Line
input.
NOTE:
To reduce noise, set the VOLUME controls on
any unused channels to the minimum setting.
8. MONITOR OUT jacks
The signal present at the MONITOR OUT jacks is sent
from the MONITOR level control knob, which is fed
from the input channels. The MASTER control does not
affect the MONITOR OUT signal.
9. REC OUT jacks
This output is used to send the main mix to an external
recorder. The signal present at this connector is the L/R
bus signal before it has passed through the MASTER
level control. The nominal output level is -10 dBV and
the impedance is 100 Ohms.
10. SPEAKER OUT jacks
The XP510i has two 1/4-inch phone connectors, which
are powered outputs used to connect your left and
right speaker. Use the included speaker cables to con-
nect the speakers.
CAUTION:
The total impedance load for each side of
the amplifier must not be less than 8 Ohms. Do not
connect additional speakers to the XP510i mixer.
11. AC – IEC inlet
Connect the supplied heavy-gauge 3-pin “IEC” power
cable here.
12. POWER switch
Use the POWER switch to turn power to the XP510i on
or off.
13. iPOD DOCK
The XP510i has a built-in iPod dock which can be used
to connect most of the latest iPod models. The iPod sig-
nal is controlled by the Channel 9/10 VOLUME control.
14. SPEECH/MUSIC switch
The SPEECH/MUSIC switch is used to change the over-
all frequency response, or tone contour, for the XP510i
sound system. If your application is mainly for MUSIC,
press the switch down to select the MUSIC response
curve. If your application is mainly for SPEECH, leave
the switch up to select the SPEECH response curve.
15. MONITOR control knob
The MONITOR volume control is used to control the
overall level sent to the MONITOR OUT, which can be
used to send to a second set of powered speakers for
monitors.
16. REVERB PROGRAM selector
This control knob is used to select one of ten, 24-bit
DSP effects programs.
17. REVERB control knob
The REVERB control knob is used to adjust the total
amount of reverb added to any channel that has its
REVERB switch (see #6) pressed down.
18. MASTER control knob
The MASTER volume knob controls the overall output
level. This knob determines the final output signal
level. Signals from all ten channels are routed here just
before being routed to the built-in power amplifiers
and Left and Right speaker output jacks (see #10).
19. METER LED indicators
This six-segment bar meter shows the XP510i’s output
level. For optimum signal-to-noise ratio, set the
VOLUME control so that program material is usually at
or 3 to +6 VU, with occasional, but not steady
excursions to the red “LIMIT” segment.
20. PHANTOM switch
The XP510i features an onboard, Phantom power
supply to operate condenser microphones. When the
switch is engaged, the LED will illuminate indicating
that phantom power is now available on the micro-
phone pre-amps.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To avoid a loud pop, be sure to
turn down the MASTER level control before plugging
and unplugging the mic cables when the phantom
power is active.
21. POWER LED indicator
The Power LED will illuminate when the MAIN power
switch is turned on.
