STEREO AUX RETURN 1/2 (TO AUX SEND)

The two right-hand STEREO AUX RETURN controls have a

special function: they can be used to add an eect to a

monitor mix. An example follows (1622FX wired to an

eects device):

Monitor mix with eect

In this instance, your eects device should be set up as

follows: the AUX SEND 2 jack should be connected to the L/

Mono input of your eects device, with its outputs coming

back into the STEREO AUX RETURN 1 jacks.

Connect the AUX SEND 1 jack output to the amplier 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

eect signal can now be blended into the monitor mix.

You can easily use the headphones distribution amplier

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.

STEREO AUX RETURN FX

On consoles 1622FX and 1832FX this is the STEREO AUX

RETURN 2, on consoles 2222FX and 2442FX 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 eects module will appear.

MAIN MIX / TO SUBS

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 2442FX you can select which subgroup the signal is

assigned to (switches 1-2 / 3-4, to the right of MAIN MIX / TO

SUBS).

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 (2442FX 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.

PHONES/CTRL ROOM ONLY

Use this switch to route the signal appearing at the AUX

RETURN 4 jacks to the control room and headphones

outputs.

Supplement to 1832FX2.3.6

The 1832FX has a stereo fader for the AUX RETURN FX and

oers a variety of routing options: MUTE disables the eect

return (but not PFL of course!), SOLO routes it to the Solo or

PFL busses, SUB to the subgroups and MAIN to the main mix.

Fig. 2.13: The FX/AUX 2 return fader of the 1832FX

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 eect signal to the monitor mix, you

can also switch aux 1 to pre-fader, drive the eect device

from the aux 1 output and return the eect signal via AUX

RETURN 2 to the monitor signal.

XPQ Surround function (1832FX only)2.3.7

Fig. 2.14: Control elements of the surround function

The XPQ surround function can be enabled/

disabled with the XPQ TO MAIN switch. This is a

built-in eect that widens the stereo width,

thus making the sound more lively and trans-parent. Use the

SURROUND control to determine the intensity of this eect.

VOICE CANCELLER

Here, you have a lter circuitry that lets you almost

entirely remove the vocal portion of a recording.

The lter is constructed in such a way that voice

frequencies are targeted without majorly aecting

the rest of the signal. Additionally, the lter seizes only the

middle of the stereo image, exactly there where the vocals

are typically located.

Connect the signal sources you wish to process using ◊

the Voice Canceller to the CD/TAPE INPUT connectors.

The Voice Canceller circuitry is not available for other

inputs.

Possible applications for the Voice Canceller are obvious: you

can very simply stage background music for Karaoke events.

Of course, you can also do this at home or at your rehearsal

room before you hit the stage. Singers with their own

band can practice singing dicult parts using a complete

playback from a tape player or a CD, thus minimizing

rehearsal time.

CD/Tape input, CD/tape output2.3.8

Fig. 2.15: 2-track connectors and lamp socket

CD/TAPE INPUT

The CD/TAPE INPUT jacks (RCA) are designed to accept a

2-track recorder (e.g. DAT recorder), or they can be used as

stereo line input. The output signal of a second XENYX or the

BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can also be connected

here. If you connect the output of a hi- amplier (with a

source selection switch) to the CD/TAPE INPUT, you can

easily listen to additional sources (e.g. cassette recorder,

MD player, sound card, etc.).

Using the voice canceller function (1832FX only), you can

process all signals being brought into your mixing console

via these connectors.

CD/TAPE OUTPUT

These connectors are wired in parallel to the MAIN OUT and

carry the main mix signal (unbalanced). Connect this to the

inputs of your recording device. The nal output level can be

adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader.

If you connect a compressor or a noise gate post ◊

2-track output, the main mix fader will probably not be

able to create a satisfactory fade-out eect.

Lamp socket (2442FX only)2.3.9

Use this BNC socket to connect a gooseneck lamp (12 V DC,

max. 0.5 A).

Level meter and monitoring2.3.10

Fig. 2.16: Control room and phones sections of the 2442FX

CD/TAPE

The CD/TAPE switch routes the signal from the CD/TAPE

INPUT jacks to the level meter, the CONTROL ROOM OUT

outputs and the PHONES jack—this is a simple way to check

recorded signals via monitor speakers or headphones.

SUB 1-2 or SUB

The SUB 1-2 switch routes subgroup 1-2 to the level meter,

CONTROL ROOM OUT and phones.

SUB 3-4

The SUB 3-4 switch performs a similar function for subgroup

3-4 (2442FX only).
