Behringer Eurorack MX3242X - Mix-B Input Channel

18
is routed to the Main input channel, while the Mix-B input channel now carries audio signals, e.g. from MIDI
and effects equipment (which usually need less processing than the raw signals coming from a multi-track
recorder).
2.2 Mix-B input channel
The Mix-B input channels are independent secondary channels with their own set of PANORAMA and
LEVEL controls. Their output is permanently routed to the Mix-B bus. The sum of all signals from the
Mix-B channels can be taken from the MIX-B OUT jacks located on the interface panel. Additionally, you
can route the Mix-B bus to the Main Mix bus. More on this in chapter 2.2.3 Routing. Each Mix-B channel has
a balanced line-level input on a ¼ phone jack . The operating level (+4 dBu / -10 dBV) can be set globally
for all channels by pressing button on the interface panel. In a recording situation you will want to use the
Mix-B input channels to return the tracks recorded on a multi-track machine. Here, the OPERATING LEVEL
switch helps you adapt the console to the recorder used.
2.2.1 Input level setting
Fig. 2.7: OPERATING LEVEL button for Mix-B input channels
The Mix-B channels on the MX3242X are specifically designed for typical line-level signals, in particular,
those from Tape Returns. The OPERATING LEVEL switch enables you to adapt the operating level of these
inputs (+4 dBu / -10 dBV) to the devices/instruments that are connected to them.
2.2.2 Aux Send buses
These are the same as for the main input channels (see 2.1.3). Please note, however, that the SOURCE
button of Aux Sends 1 and 2, or 3 through 6 must be pressed to make the respective Aux Sends available to
the Mix-B signal.
2.2.3 Routing
Fig. 2.8: Controlling the Mix-B signal
Each Mix-B input channel has a PANORAMA and LEVEL control as well as a MUTE button .
All signals from a Mix-B channel are routed to the Mix-B bus and are available from the MIX-B OUT jack
on the interface panel. Their overall volume is determined by the LEVEL control in the MIX-B Main
section. Additionally, you can route the Mix-B bus to the Main Mix bus by pressing the TO MAIN MIX button
.
When you press the SOURCE button in a Mix-B input channel (position: CHANNEL LINK), the channel
carries the same signal as the corresponding Main input channel (e.g. Mix-B channel 17 carries the signal of
Main input channel 1). The signal is taken post-EQ/post-mute, but pre-fader.
