XENYX 1222FX
FX TO MON
You can use this control to insert an effects signal from the
built-in effects processor to your monitor mix. Of course, to do
this, your effects processor must first receive a signal, i.e. the
FX controls in the channel strips must be turned up, and the
FX SEND fader (see fig. 2.6) hast to be open.
MON MUTE
If the MON MUTE switch is pressed, the monitor bus is muted,
i.e. there is no signal at the MON SEND connector.
FX SEND
The FX SEND fader determines the overall level of the effects
bus. Both external effects processors (via the FX SEND
connector) and the built-in processor only receive an input signal
if this control is open.
FX TO MAIN
Use the FX TO MAIN control to feed the effects signal into the
main mix. If the control is turned all the way to the left, no effects
signal can be heard.
FX MUTE
If the FX MUTE switch is pressed, the effects channel is
muted, i.e. no signal is present at the FX SEND connector and the
effects processor no longer receives an input signal.
2.3.2 Monitor send and FX send connector

MON SEND
Connect the input of your monitor power amp or an active
monitor system here to make the monitor mix audible to the
musicians on the stage. The signal mix is created using the
channels’ MON controls.
FX SEND
The FX SEND connector outputs the signal you picked up
from the individual channels using the FX controls. You can
connect this to the input of an external effects device in order to
process the FX bus’ master signal. Once an effects mix is created,
the processed signal can then be routed from the effects device
outputs back into the AUX RETURN connectors.
+
If the connected effects processor receives no
input signal, the FX MUTE switch is probably pressed
and/or the FX SEND control is too low. This also goes
for the built-in effects processor.
+
Adjust your external effects processor to 100% wet
(effects signal only), because the effects signal is
added to the main mix along with the “dry” channel
signals.
2.3.3 Aux return connectors
Fig. 2.8: Aux return connectors
AUX RETURN 1
The AUX RETURN 1 connectors generally serve as the return
path for the effects mix generated using the FX send. This is
where you connect the output signal of the external effects
device. If only the left connector is used, the aux return 1
automatically operates in mono.
+
You can also use these connectors as additional
line inputs.
AUX RETURN 2
The AUX RETURN 2 connectors are used exactly the same
way as the AUX RETURN 1 connectors. If these connectors
already function as additional inputs, you can route the effects
signal back into the console via a different stereo channel, with
the added benefit that the channel EQ can be used to adjust the
frequency response of the effects return signal.
+
In this instance, the FX control of the channel being
used as an effects return should be turned fully
counter-clockwise, otherwise feedback problems
can occur!
