14XENYX X1622USB/X1832USB/X2222USB/X2442USB User Manual

MAIN SOLO

The MAIN SOLO LED lights up as soon as a channel or aux send solo switch is pressed. The MODE switch must be set to “Solo”.

PFL (LEVEL SET)

The PFL (LEVEL SET) LED indicates that the peak meter is set to PFL mode.

PHONES jack

You can connect headphones to this ¼" stereo jack (X2442USB: 2 phones jacks). The signal routed to the PHONES connection is the same as that routed to the control room output.

2.3.12 Subgroups and main mix fader

You use the high-precision quality faders to control the output level of the subgroups and the main mix.

LEFT/RIGHT switch

The switches located above the subgroup faders assign the subgroup signal either to the left or right side of the main bus. Similarly, it can be routed to both sides or none at all. In the latter case, the submix is present only at the corresponding subgroup outputs.

The graphic stereo equalizer allows you to tailor the sound to the room acoustics.

EQUALIZER

Use this switch to activate the graphic equalizer.

MAIN MIX/MONITOR

This toggles the graphic equalizer between the main mix and the monitor mix. With the switch up (not depressed), the equalizer is active in stereo on the main mix, and inactive on the monitor mix.

When the switch is depressed the equalizer is active in mono on the monitor mix, and inactive on the main mix.

FBQ FEEDBACK DETECTION

The switch turns on the FBQ Feedback Detection System. It uses the LEDs in the frequency band faders to indicate the critical frequencies. On a per-need basis, lower the frequency range in question somewhat in order to avoid feedback.

The graphic stereo equalizer has to be turned on in order to use this function.

◊Logically, at least one (ideally several) microphone channels have to be open for feedback to occur at all!

Feedback is particularly common when stage monitors (“wedges”) are concerned, because monitors project sound in the direction of microphones.

Therefore, you can also use the FBQ Feedback Detection for monitors by placing the equalizer in the monitor bus (see MAIN MIX/MONITOR).

4. Digital Effects Processor

24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR

Here you can find a list of all presets stored in the multi-effects processor.

This built-in effects module produces high-grade standard effects such as reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and various combination effects. Use the Aux Send FX on the channels and the Aux Send FX master control to determine the input signal of the effects processor.
