5.3 Inserts

Fig. 5.3: Insert points

+On the UB2442FX-PRO the channel insert points are located on the control panel between the line input and the gain 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).

DIRECT OUTPUTS

The direct outputs of the UB2442FX-PRO (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.

5.5Voltage supply, phantom power supply and fuse

Fig. 5.5: Voltage supply and fuse

FUSEHOLDER

The console is connected to the mains via the supplied cable; this comes complete with IEC mains connector. It meets the required safety standards. Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.

IEC MAINS RECEPTACLE

The mains connection is via a cable with IEC mains connector. An appropriate mains cable is supplied with the equipment.

POWER switch

Use the POWER switch to turn on the mixing console.

PHANTOM switch

The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power (necessary to operate condenser microphones) on the XLR sockets of the mono channels. The red +48 V LED illuminates when phantom power is on. As a rule, dynamic microphones can still be used with phantom power, provided that they are wired in a balanced configuration. In case of doubt, contact the microphone manufacturer!

+While phantom power is switched on, do not connect or disconnect any microphones on the mixer (or the stagebox/wallbox). Connect the microphones before you switch on phantom power. In addition, the monitor/PA speakers should be muted before activating the phantom power supply. After switching on, wait approx. one minute before setting the input gain so that the system has time to stabilize.

+Caution! Please also note the information given in chapter 6.2.1 “Audio connections”.
