return (created using the channel FX sends). If these jacks are already in use as additional inputs, you can route the effects signal back into the console via a different channel. The advantage of this is that you can now use that channel’s EQ on the effects return signal.

+In this instance, the FX control of the channel being used as an effects return should be turned fully counterclockwise, otherwise feedback problems could occur!

+If you wish to use the internal effects processor, do not plug any connectors into the STEREO AUX RETURN FX jacks, unless you want to tap the processed signal via the FX OUT (2222FX and 2442FX only).

2.3.4 The monitor section of the 1832FX

One of the ways that the 1832FX differs from the other models of this series is that it has a separate monitor output.

Fig. 2.10: Monitor output of the 1832FX

The first aux send (MON) on this console is used to set up the monitor mix from the channels and route it to the MON SEND fader.

MUTE

Press the MUTE switch to mute the monitor send.

SOLO

The SOLO switch routes the monitor send to the solo bus (post-fader and post-mute) or to the PFL bus (pre-fader and pre-mute). The position of the MODE switch in the main section determines which of the buses is selected.

2.3.5 Stereo aux return control

STEREO AUX RETURN 1

The STEREO AUX RETURN 1 control determines the level of this signal in the main mix. If STEREO AUX RETURN 1 is used as effects return, this will determine the level of the effects when mixed with any “dry” channel signal.

+When used in this way, the effects device should be set at 100% effect.

STEREO AUX RETURN 1/2 (TO AUX SEND)

The two right-hand STEREO AUX RETURN controls have a special function: they can be used to add an effect to a monitor mix. An example follows (1622FX wired to an effects device):

Monitor mix with effect

In this instance, your effects device should be set up as follows: the AUX SEND 2 jack should be connected to the L/Mono input of your effects device, with its outputs coming back into the STEREO AUX RETURN 1 jacks.

Connect the AUX SEND 1 jack output to the amplifier of your monitor system. The AUX SEND 1 master control determines the overall volume of the monitor mix.

Using the STEREO AUX RETURN (TO AUX SEND) control, the effect signal can now be blended into the monitor mix.

You can easily use the headphones distribution amplifier BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO HA4700/HA8000 to provide four (HA8000: eight) stereo headphone mixes for your studio.
