2.4.2 Aux Returns additional stereo line inputs
Fig. 2.12: Aux Return Main section
Your EURORACK MX3242X offers four effect returns on ¼" phone jacks ( , , and ). When
you connect the left jack only (except Aux/FX Return 3), the corresponding Aux Return is automatically set to
mono (signal on left and right channel).
These inputs have a BALANCE / and a LEVEL control / . Like the Main input channels, Aux
Returns 1 and 2 can be routed to the Main Mix and the four Subgroup buses. Aux Return 3 (FX Return)
is normally used to return the effect signal from the on-board Effects Processor. However, when you use its
phone jack inputs , you can configure it as an additional stereo line input. Aux Returns 3 and 4 can
additionally be routed to the Subgroup and Main Mix buses, for example to add reverb to the monitor mix sent
to a singer, which can be done most conveniently with the on-board effects processor.
Naturally, all Aux Returns feature a SOLO function (plus control LED) which can be activated with the SOLO
button / .
Aux Returns not only accept the output signal of an effects device, they also serve as versatile stereo line
inputs. For example, they can return the signal of a multi-track recorder (Tape Returns), or act as inputs for
instruments, especially when your MIDI keyboard or rack delivers a pre-mixed stereo signal.
2.4.3 Level meters
The Main Mix / PFL / SOLO level is displayed by two highly accurate 8-segment peak meters . Depending
on the status of the SOLO function, either the PFL or SOLO LED lights up.
2.4.4 CHANNEL MODE and SOLO MASTER LEVEL controls
Fig. 2.13: PFL/SOLO Main section
The CHANNEL MODE button determines whether PFL (pre-fader listen) or Solo-In-Place is assigned to
the SOLO buttons in the channels. With the LEVEL control you can set the master volume of the PFL/
SOLO function. We recommend that you set this control to 0 dB, i.e. 12 oclock. In loud environments (e.g.
live application), you can of course raise the PFL/SOLO volume as required.

PFL should always be used for gain setting (see also chapter 3 PRACTISE). Here, the signal is always taken
