sufficiently high level. Take care to ensure that the clip LED only lights up at peak levels. If it is lit constantly, you are overloading the effects processor and this could cause unpleasant distortion.

PROGRAM

You can select the effect preset by turning the PROGRAM control. The display flashes with the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, press on the button; the flashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset with the foot switch.

5.1Main mix outputs, insert points and control room outputs

Fig. 5.1: Main Mix outputs, main mix insert points and

control room outputs

MAIN OUTPUTS

The MAIN outputs carry the MAIN MIX signal and are on balanced XLR jacks with a nominal level of +4 dBu. In parallel with this, 1/4" phone jacks carry the main mix signal in a balanced format (1622FX: here, the phone jack outputs are unbalanced and located on the front panel).

CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS (CTRL OUT)

The control room output is normally connected to the monitoring system in the control room and carries the stereo mix or, when selected, the solo signals.

MAIN INS(ERTS) (2442FX only)

These are the insert points for the main mix. In the signal path, they are post-main mix amp, but pre-main fader(s). Use them to insert, for example, a dynamics processor or graphic equalizer. Please also note the information on insert points in chapter 5.3.

5.2 Subgroup outputs

Fig. 5.2: Subgroup outputs

SUB OUTPUTS

The subgroup outputs are unbalanced and provide the mix of those channels assigned to each subgroup with the SUB switch (2442FX: switches 1-2 or 3-4) next to the channel faders. Thus, you can, for example, route a subgroup to a second console or use the output as a recording output in parallel to the main outputs. In this way, you can record several tracks simultaneously. With an 8-track recorder, use Y cables and wire the inputs of your

machine so that you have 2 x 4 tracks available (e.g. channel 1 to track 1 and 2, etc.). In the first pass, you can record the tracks 1, 3, 5 and 7, in the second the tracks 2, 4, 6 and 8.

The XENYX 2442FX already has subgroup outputs wired in parallel (1-5, 2-6, etc.).

5.3 Inserts

Fig. 5.3: Insert points

+On the 2442FX the channel insert points are located on the control panel between the line input and the TRIM control.

Insert points are very useful to process channel signals with dynamic processors or equalizers. Unlike reverb or other effects devices, whose signals are usually added to the dry signal, dynamic processors are most effective on the complete signal. In this case, aux send paths are a less-than-perfect solution. It is better to interrupt the signal path and insert a dynamic processor and/or equalizer. After processing, the signal is routed back to the console at precisely the same point it left. However, the channel signal path is interrupted only if a plug is inserted into the corresponding jack (stereo phone plug: tip = signal output; ring = return input). All mono input channels are equipped with inserts. They are pre-fader, pre-EQ and pre-aux send. Inserts can also be used as pre-EQ direct outputs, without interrupting the signal path. To this end, you will need a cable fitted with mono phone plugs on the tape machine or effect device end, and a bridged stereo phone plug on the console side (tip and ring connected).

5.4 Direct outputs (2442FX only)

DIRECT OUTPUTS

The direct outputs of the 2442FX (1 each per mono input channel) are ideal for recording if several tracks are to be recorded simultaneously. These unbalanced phone jacks are post-EQ, post-mute and post-fader.
