EURORACK UB1222FX-PRO 3. DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR AND XPQ SURROUND FUNCTION 3.1 Digital effects processor PROGRAM You can select the effect preset by turning the PROGRAM control. The display flashes the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, press the button; the flashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset using the footswitch. 3.2 XPQ surround function The surround function can be enabled/disabled with the XPQ TO MAIN switch. This is a built-in effect that widens the stereo width, thus making the sound more lively and transparent. Use the SURROUND control to determine the intensity of this effect. Fig. 3.1: Effects presets overview 24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR Here you can find a list of all presets stored in the multi-effects processor. This built-in effects module produces high-grade standard effects such as reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and various combination effects. The integrated effects module has the advantage of requiring no wiring. This way, the danger of creating ground loops or uneven signal levels is eliminated at the outset, completely simplifying the handling. These effect presets are designed to be added to dry signals. If you move the FX TO MAIN control, you mix the channel signal (dry) and the effect signal. This also goes for mixing effects signals with the monitor mix. The main difference is that the mix ratio is adjusted using the FX TO MON control. Of course, a signal has to be fed into the effects processor via the FX control in the channel strip for both applications. + Turn down the FX controls in those channel strips whose signals you don’t wish to process. Fig. 3.2: Connection socket for the footswitch FOOTSWITCH Connect a standard footswitch to the footswitch connector; use this to switch the effects processor on and off. A flashing dot at the bottom of the display indicates if the effects processor is muted via the footswitch. + In chapter 4.2, you will find an illustration showing how to connect your footswitch correctly. 4. INSTALLATION 4.1 Rack mounting The packaging of your mixing console contains two 19" rack mount brackets which can be installed on the side panels of the console. Before you can attach the rack mount brackets to the mixing console, you need to remove the screws holding the left and right side panels. Use these screws to fasten the two brackets onto the console, being careful to note that each bracket fits a specific side. With the rack mount brackets installed, you can mount the mixing console in a commercially available 19" rack. Be sure to allow for proper air flow around the unit, and do not place the mixing console close to radiators or power amps, so as to avoid overheating. + Only use the screws holding the mixing console side panels to fasten the 19" rack mounts. 4.2 Cable connections You will need a large number of cables for the various connections to and from the console. The following illustrations show the wiring of these cables. Be sure to use only high-grade cables. Fig. 3.3: Digital Effects module and XPQ Surround Function control elements LEVEL The LED level meter on the effects module should display a sufficiently high level. Take care to ensure that the clip LED only lights up at peak levels. If it is lit constantly, you are overloading the effects processor and this could cause unpleasant distortion. The FX SEND fader determines the level that reaches the effects module. Fig. 4.1: 1/4" TS footswitch connector 12 4. INSTALLATION
