AUX SEND 1, 2 and 4

The AUX SEND 1 control governs the master send level of the mix created by the individual channel AUX 1 sends.

Likewise, the AUX SEND 2 contol is the master control for the aux 2 bus, and AUX SEND 4 controls the AUX 4 bus.

AUX SEND 3 (FX)

The FX control determines the signal level for effects processing, i.e. regulates the level to an external (or the inter- nal) effects device.

UB1622FX-PRO and UB1832FX-PRO: On these consoles, this function is performed by the AUX SEND 2 control (FX).

SOLO

You can use the SOLO switch to separately monitor the aux sends via the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES outputs and check these with the level meters.

+If you want to monitor the signal of just one AUX bus, none of the other SOLO SWITCHES should be pressed and the MODE switch should be in the SOLO position (not depressed).

2.3.2Aux send jacks

AUX SEND jacks

The AUX SEND jack should be used when hooking up a monitor power amp or active monitor speaker system. The relevant aux path should be set pre-fader.

+On the UB2222FX-PRO, aux send 1 is hard wired as pre-fader and hence called MON. Model UB1832FX-PRO has a dedicated monitor output (MON OUT jack), cf. chapter 2.3.4.

As already mentioned, the aux sends in the channels—if set post-fader—can be used to connect to external effects devices.

AUX SEND (FX)

The AUX SEND (FX) jack carries the master aux mix (from the channel’s FX controls). You can connect this to an external effects device to process the FX bus. The processed signal can then be brought from the effects device back into the STEREO AUX RETURN jacks.

2.3.3 Stereo aux return connectors

Fig. 2.9: The aux return connectors

+On the UB2222FX-PRO, UB1832FX-PRO and UB1622FX-PRO the STEREO AUX RETURN jacks are located on the front panel of the unit.

STEREO AUX RETURN

The STEREO AUX RETURN 1 jacks generally serve as the return for the effects mix (created using the post-fader aux sends) by connecting the output of an external effects device. If only the left jack is connected, the AUX RETURN is automatically switched to mono.

+You can also use these jacks as additional line inputs.

All stereo aux returns are balanced, but can of course also be used with unbalanced connectors. If you use an aux send for monitoring, the associated unused stereo aux returns are available for other line level signals (e.g. keyboards).

+A signal fed into the stereo return jacks can be output via an aux send jack. More information on this can be found in chapter 2.3.5 “STEREO AUX RETURN 1/2 (TO AUX SEND)”.

STEREO AUX RETURN FX

The STEREO AUX RETURN FX jacks accept the effects mix 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 (UB2222FX-PRO and UB2442FX-PRO only).

2.3.4The monitor section of the UB1832FX-PRO

One of the ways that the UB1832FX-PRO differs from the other models of this series is that it has a separate monitor output.

Fig. 2.10: Monitor output of the UB1832FX-PRO

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