DIGITAL EFFECTS 4.

PROCESSOR

24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR

Here you can nd a list of all presets stored in the multi-

eects processor. This built-in eects module produces

high-grade standard eects such as reverb, chorus, anger,

delay and various combination eects. Use the Aux Send

FX on the channels and the Aux Send FX master control to

determine the input signal of the eects processor.

Fig. 4.1: Digital eects module

The built-in stereo eects processor has the advantage that

it does not need to be wired up. This excludes the danger

of humming or level mismatch right from the start and thus

considerably facilitates use.

These eect presets are classical “mixing eects”. If you move

the STEREO AUX RETURN FX control, you mix the channel

signal (dry) and the eect signal. You can control the balance

between the two signals with the channel fader and the

STEREO AUX RETURN FX control.

FX OUT

Mixing consoles 2222FX and 2442FX have a separate output

for the eects device, which is unbalanced and stereo (tip

= left signal; ring = right signal; sleeve = ground/shielding).

Thus, you can record, for example, a vocal track enhanced

with reverb in parallel to a “dry” vocal track; when doing the

mix-down later on, you can freely determine the amount of

reverb added.

The 2442FX has the eect output on the rear, 2222FX ◊

has it located next to the aux sends on the front panel.

FX FOOTSW.

Connect a standard foot switch to the foot switch jack and

use this to switch the eects processor on and o. A light

at the bottom of the display indicates wheater the eects

processor has been muted by the foot switch.

In Chapter 6.2 you will nd an illustration showing how ◊

to connect your foot switch correctly.

LEVEL

The LED level meter on the eects module should display

a suciently 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 eects processor and this could cause

unpleasant distortion.

PROGRAM

You can select the eect preset by turning the PROGRAM

control. The display ashes with the number of the current

preset. To recall the selected preset, press on the button; the

ashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset with

the foot switch.

REAR PANEL CONNECTORS5.

Main mix outputs, insert points and 5.1

control room outputs

Fig. 5.1: Main Mix outputs, main mix insert points and control room outputs

MAIN OUTPUTS

The MAIN outputs carry the MAIN MIX signal and are on

balanced XLR jacks with a nominal level of +4 dBu. In parallel

with this, ¼" phone jacks carry the main mix signal in a

balanced format (1622FX: here, the phone jack outputs are

unbalanced and located on the front panel).

CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS (CTRL OUT)

The control room output is normally connected to the

monitoring system in the control room and carries the stereo

mix or, when selected, the solo signals.

MAIN INS(ERTS) (2442FX only)

These are the insert points for the main mix. In the signal

path, they are post-main mix amp, but pre-main fader(s). Use

them to insert, for example, a dynamics processor or graphic

equalizer. Please also note the information on insert points in

chapter 5.3.

Subgroup outputs5.2

Fig. 5.2: Subgroup outputs

SUB OUTPUTS

The subgroup outputs are unbalanced and provide the mix

of those channels assigned to each subgroup with the SUB

switch (2442FX: switches 1-2 or 3-4) next to the channel

faders. Thus, you can, for example, route a subgroup to a

second console or use the output as a recording output

in parallel to the main outputs. In this way, you can record

several tracks simultaneously. With an 8-track recorder, use Y

cables and wire the inputs of your machine so that you have 2

x 4 tracks available (e.g. channel 1 to track 1 and 2, etc.). In the

rst pass, you can record the tracks 1, 3, 5 and 7, in the second

the tracks 2, 4, 6 and 8.

The XENYX 2442FX already has subgroup outputs wired in

parallel (1-5, 2-6, etc.).

Inserts5.3

Fig. 5.3: Insert points

On the 2442FX the channel insert points are located ◊

on the control panel between the line input and the

GAIN control.

Insert points are very useful to process channel signals

with dynamic processors or equalizers. Unlike reverb or

other eects devices, whose signals are usually added

to the dry signal, dynamic processors are most eective

on the complete signal. In this case, aux send paths are a

less-than-perfect solution. It is better to interrupt the signal

path and insert a dynamic processor and/or equalizer.

After processing, the signal is routed back to the console

at precisely the same point it left. However, the channel

signal path is interrupted only if a plug is inserted into the

corresponding jack (stereo phone plug: tip = signal output;

ring = return input). All mono input channels are equipped

with inserts. They are pre-fader, pre-EQ and pre-aux send.

Inserts can also be used as pre-EQ direct outputs, without

interrupting the signal path. To this end, you will need a

cable tted with mono phone plugs on the tape machine or

eect device end, and a bridged stereo phone plug on the

console side (tip and ring connected).

Direct outputs (2442FX only)5.4

Fig. 5.4: Direct outputs

DIRECT OUTPUTS

The direct outputs of the 2442FX (1 each per mono input

channel) are ideal for recording if several tracks are to be

recorded simultaneously. These unbalanced phone jacks are

post-EQ, post-mute and post-fader.

Voltage supply, phantom power 5.5

supply and fuse

Fig. 5.5: Voltage supply and fuse

FUSE HOLDER/IEC MAINS RECEPTACLE

The console is connected to the mains via the cable

supplied, which meets the required safety standards. Blown

fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and

rating. The mains connection is made via a cable with IEC

mains connector. An appropriate mains cable is supplied

with the equipment.

POWER switch

Use the POWER switch to turn on the mixing console. The

POWER switch should always be in the “O” position when

you are about to connect your unit to the mains.

To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main

cord plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug

is easily accessible. If mounting in a rack, ensure that the

mains can be easily disconnected by a plug pull or by an all-

pole disconnect switch on or near the rack.

Attention: The POWER switch does not fully disconnect ◊

the unit from the mains. Unplug the power cord

completely when the unit is not used for prolonged

periods of time.

PHANTOM switch

The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power

(necessary to operate condenser microphones) on the XLR

sockets of the mono channels. The red +48 V LED illuminates

when phantom power is on. As a rule, dynamic microphones

can still be used with phantom power, provided that they are
