The Ins and Outs
The 5-input, 2-bus XENYX 502 with XENYX mic preamp can accommodate either a dynamic or condenser microphone. The two-band British EQ is famous for its warm, musical sound. Play music between sets via the RCA CD/tape inputs (assignable to main mix or control room/phones outputs) and record your performance to an outboard recording device via the RCA outputs.

XENYX Preamp
The 502 features a high-end XENYX mic preamp, comparable to costly outboard preamps. Features include:

• 130 dB dynamic range for plenty of headroom
• A bandwidth ranging from below 10 Hz to over 200 kHz for nuanced reproduction
• Low-noise, distortion-free circuitry for a transparent signal
• Perfect for most any mic, with up to 60 dB of gain and a +48 volt phantom power supply

"British EQ"
The equalizers used for the XENYX series are based on the legendary circuitry of top-notch consoles made in Britain, which are renowned throughout the world for their warm and musical sound character. Even with extreme gain settings, these equalizers provide outstanding audio.

Small Is Beautiful
Weighing in at 1.2 pounds (0.55 kg), the XENYX 502 is the portable, practical way to turn a speech or scaled-down performance into a sound to behold. Schools, meeting rooms, coffee shops and songsmiths the world-round agree this mighty mite is a high-fidelity lifesaver.
