11 EURORACK UB2442FX-PRO/UB2222FX-PRO/UB1832FX-PRO/UB1622FX-PRO User Manual STEREO AUX RETURN 1/2 (TO AUX SEND) MAIN MIX / TO SUBS The two right-hand STEREO AUX RETURN controls have a special function: they can be used to add an effect to a monitor mix. An example follows (UB1622FX-PRO wired to an effects device): Monitor mix with effect This switch routes the signal fed in via the STEREO AUX RETURN FX jacks either to the main mix (not pressed) or to the submix (pressed). On the UB2442FX-PRO you can select which subgroup the signal is assigned to (switches 1-2 / 3-4, to the right of MAIN MIX / TO SUBS). In this instance, your effects device should be set up as follows: the AUX SEND 2 jack should be connected to the L/Mono input of your effects device, with its outputs coming back into the STEREO AUX RETURN 1 jacks. Connect the AUX SEND 1 jack output to the amplifier of your monitor system. The AUX SEND 1 master control determines the overall volume of the monitor mix. Using the STEREO AUX RETURN (TO AUX SEND) control, the effect signal can now be blended into the monitor mix. SOLO RETURNS Additionally, this model allows you to route the aux returns together to the solo bus and the PFL bus. The LED lights up when Solo is on. STEREO AUX RETURN 4 (UB2442FX-PRO only) This control behaves the same way as the other stereo aux returns. Additionally, it provides for a simple monitor path using the switch PHONES/CTRL ROOM ONLY. You can easily use the headphones distribution amplifier BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO HA4700/HA8000 to provide four (HA8000: eight) stereo headphone mixes for your studio. The following table shows which jacks on the console can be used for this purpose. External effects device receives signal from... Extenal effects device routes signal back to...

Tab. 2.1: Connectors and controls for monitor mix with effect STEREO AUX RETURN FX On consoles UB1622FX-PRO and UB1832FX-PRO this is the STEREO AUX RETURN 2, on consoles UB2222FX-PRO and UB2442FX-PRO this is the STEREO AUX RETURN 3. Use the STEREO AUX RETURN FX control to determine the level of the signal routed from the AUX RETURN FX jacks to the main mix. If nothing is connected to these jacks, the output of the built-in effects module will appear. UB1832FX-PRO Fig. 2.13: The FX/AUX 2 return fader of the UB1832FX-PRO MON The MON switch routes the signals appearing at the AUX RETURN 2 jacks to the monitor path, along with the monitor signals from the channels. If you wish to route the effect signal to the monitor mix, you can also switch aux 1 to pre-fader, drive the effect device from the aux 1 output and return the effect signal via AUX RETURN 2 to the monitor signal.
