Behringer Eurorack UB1222FX-Pro - Monitor Send and FX Send Connector; MON SEND; FX SEND; Aux Return Connectors

9 EURORACK UB1222FX-PRO User Manual
◊ When you use the MAIN MIX fader to reduce the overall volume, keep in
mind that the subwoofer is still receiving a signal!
FX TO MON
You can use this control to insert an eects signal from the built-in eects
processor to your monitor mix. Of course, to do this, your eects processor must
rst receive a signal, i.e. the FX controls in the channel strips must be turned up,
and the FX SEND fader (see g. 2.6) hast to be open.
MON MUTE
If the MON MUTE switch is pressed, the monitor bus is muted, i.e. there is no
signal at the MON SEND connector.
FX SEND
The FX SEND fader determines the overall level of the eects bus. Both external
eects processors (via the FX SEND connector) and the built-in processor only
receive an input signal if this control is open.
FX TO MAIN
Use the FX TO MAIN control to feed the eects signal into the main mix. If the
control is turned all the way to the left, no eects signal can be heard.
FX MUTE
If the FX MUTE switch is pressed, the eects channel is muted, i.e. no signal is
present at the FX SEND connector and the eects processor no longer receives an
input signal.
2.3.2 Monitor send and FX send connector

SEND

MON SEND
Connect the input of your monitor power amp or an active monitor system here
to make the monitor mix audible to the musicians on the stage. The signal mix is
created using the channels’ MON controls.
FX SEND
The FX SEND connector outputs the signal you picked up from the individual
channels using the FX controls. You can connect this to the input of an external
eects device in order to process the FX bus’ master signal. Once an eects mix is
created, the processed signal can then be routed from the eects device outputs
back into the AUX RETURN connectors.
◊ If the connected effects processor receives no input signal,
the FX MUTE switch is probably pressed and/or the FX SEND control
is too low. This also goes for the built-in effects processor.
◊ Adjust your external effects processor to 100% wet (effects signal
only), because the effects signal is added to the main mix along with
the “dry” channel signals.

AUX RETURN 1
The AUX RETURN 1 connectors generally serve as the return path for the eects
mix generated using the FX send. This is where you connect the output signal
of the external eects device. If only the left connector is used, the aux return
1automatically operates in mono.
◊ You can also use these connectors as additional line inputs.
AUX RETURN 2
The AUX RETURN 2 connectors are used exactly the same way as the AUX RETURN
1 connectors. If these connectors already function as additional inputs, youcan
route the eects signal back into the console via a dierent stereo channel,
with the added benet that the channel EQ can be used to adjust the frequency
response of the eects return signal.
◊ In this instance, the FX control of the channel being used as an effects
return should be turned fully counter-clockwise, otherwise feedback
problems can occur!
2.3.4 2-Track return channel, voice canceller and
connection socket
Fig. 2.9: 2-Track return channel
This channel, intended especially for connecting stereo signal sources
(CDplayers,DAT recorders or even sound cards) features a particularly practical
feature: the VOICE CANCELLER.
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.
