Pre-fader/post-fader

When using eects on a channel signal, it is usual to have the aux send post fader

so that the balance between eect and dry signal stays constant even when

the channel fader is altered. If this were not the case, the eects signal of the

channel would remain audible even when the channel fader is turned all the way

down. For monitoring, the aux sends are generally pre-fader, i.e. they operate

independently of the position of the channel fader.

PRE

When the PRE switch is pressed down, the associated aux send is taken pre-fader.

The aux send marked FX oers a direct route to the built-in eects processor and

is therefore post-fader and post-mute. Please refer to chapter 4 “Digital Eects

Processor” for detailed information.

◊ If you are using the built-in effects processor, make sure that STEREO

AUX RETURN 3 has nothing plugged into it (X2442USB and X2222USB),

otherwise the internal effects return will be muted. This is not relevant

if you use the FX OUT jack to drive an external effects device.

◊ X1622USB and X1832USB: On these consoles, the above note refers

to the STEREO AUX RETURN 2 jacks as these models do not have a

dedicated effect output.

2.1.4 Routing switch, PAN, SOLO and channel fader

PAN

The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal within the stereo

image. When working with subgroups, you can use the PAN control to assign

the signal to just one output, which gives you additional exibility in recording

situations. For example, when routing to subgroups 3 and 4, panning hard left

will route the signal to group output 3 only, and panning hard right will route to

group output 4 only.

MUTE

The MUTE switch breaks the signal path pre-channel fader, hence muting that

channel in the main mix. The aux sends which are set to post-fader are likewise

muted for that channel, while the pre-fader monitor paths remain active

irrespective of whether the channel is muted or not.

MUTE LED

The MUTE LED indicates a muted channel.

CLIP-LED

The CLIP-LED lights up when the input signal is driven too high. If this happens,

back o the GAIN control and, if necessary, check the setting of the channel EQ.

SOLO

The SOLO switch is used to route the channel signal to the solo bus (Solo InPlace)

or to the PFL bus (Pre Fader Listen). This enables you to listen to a channel

signal without aecting the main output signal. The signal you hear is taken

either before the pan control (PFL, mono) or after the pan and channel fader

(Solo,stereo) (cf. chap. 2.3.10 “Level meters and monitoring”).

SUB (1-2 and 3-4)

The SUB switch routes the signal to the corresponding subgroups. The X2442USB

has 4 subgroups (1-2 and 3-4).

MAIN

The MAIN switch routes the signal to the main mix bus.

The channel fader determines the channel’s volume in the main mix (or submix).

2.2 Stereo channels

2.2.1 Channel inputs

Fig. 2.5: The various stereo channel inputs

Each stereo channel has two balanced line level inputs on jacks for left and

right channels. Channels 9/10 and 11/12 on the X2442USB feature an additional

XLR microphone jack with phantom power. If only the left jack (marked “L”)

is used, the channel operates in mono. The stereo channels are designed to

handle typical line level signals, and, depending on model, have a level switch

(+4 dBu or -10dBV) and/or a line GAIN control. Both jack inputs will also accept

unbalancedconnectors.
