2.3.7 XPQ Surround function (UB1832FX-PRO only)
Fig. 2.14: Control elements of the surround function
The XPQ surround function can be enabled/
disabled with the XPQ TO MAIN switch. This is
a built-in effect that widens the stereo width,
thus making the sound more lively and trans-
parent. Use the SURROUND control to determine the intensity of
this effect.
VOICE CANCELLER
Here, you have a filter circuitry that lets you almost
entirely remove the vocal portion of a recording. The
filter is constructed in such a way that voice
frequencies are targeted without majorly affecting
the rest of the signal. Additionally, the filter seizes only the middle
of the stereo image, exactly there where the vocals are typically
located.
+
Connect the signal sources you wish to process
using the Voice Canceller to the CD/TAPE INPUT
connectors. The Voice Canceller circuitry is not
available for other inputs.
Possible applications for the Voice Canceller are obvious: you
can very simply stage background music for Karaoke events. Of
course, you can also do this at home or at your rehearsal room
before you hit the stage. Singers with their own band can practice
singing difficult parts using a complete playback from a tape
player or a CD, thus minimizing rehearsal time.
2.3.8 CD/Tape input, CD/tape output
Fig. 2.15: 2-track connectors and lamp socket
CD/TAPE INPUT
The CD/TAPE INPUT jacks (RCA) are designed to accept a
2-track recorder (e.g. DAT recorder), or they can be used as
stereo line input. The output signal of a second EURORACK or
the BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can also be connected
here. If you connect the output of a hi-fi amplifier (with a source
selection switch) to the TAPE INPUT, you can easily listen to
additional sources (e.g. cassette recorder, MD player, sound
card, etc.).
Using the voice canceller function (UB1832FX-PRO only), you
can process all signals being brought into your mixing console
via these connectors.
CD/TAPE OUTPUT
These connectors are wired in parallel to the MAIN OUT and
carry the main mix signal (unbalanced). Connect this to the inputs
of your recording device. The final output level can be adjusted
via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader.
+
If you connect a compressor or a noise gate post
2-track output, the main mix fader will probably not
be able to create a satisfactory fade-out effect.
2.3.9 Lamp socket (UB2442FX-PRO only)
Use this BNC socket to connect a gooseneck lamp (12 V DC,
max. 0.5 A).
2.3.10 Level meter and monitoring
Fig. 2.16: Control room and phones sections of the
UB2442FX-PRO
TAPE
The TAPE switch routes the signal from the TAPE IN jacks to
the level meter, the CONTROL ROOM OUT outputs and the
PHONES jack—this is a simple way to check recorded signals
via monitor speakers or headphones.
SUBS 1-2 or SUB
The SUBS 1-2 switch routes subgroup 1-2 to the level meter,
CONTROL ROOM OUT and phones.
SUBS 3-4
The SUBS 3-4 switch performs a similar function for subgroup
3-4 (UB2442FX-PRO only).
MAIN MIX
The MAIN MIX switch sends the main mix to the CONTROL
ROOM OUT and the PHONES output as well as to the level meter.
CTRL ROOM & PHONES
Use this control to adjust the control room output level and the
headphones volume.
TAPE TO MAIN
When the TAPE TO MAIN switch is depressed, the 2-track
input is routed to the main mix and thus serves as an additional
input for tape machines. You can also connect MIDI instruments or
other signals here that do not require any further processing. At
the same time, this switch disables the main mix to tape output link.
POWER
The blue POWER LED indicates that the device is switched on.
+48 V
The red “+48 V” LED lights up when phantom power is switched
on. Phantom power is required to operate condenser
microphones.
+
While phantom power is switched on, do not
connect or disconnect microphones on the mixer
(or the stagebox/wallbox). Connect any micro-
phones before switching on phantom power.
Additionally, monitor/PA speakers should be muted
before you activate the phantom power supply. After
switching on, wait approx. one minute before
adjusting the input gain so that the system has time
to stabilize.
LEVEL METER
The high-precision level meters always give you an accurate
display of signal level.
