XENYX 1622FX/1832FX/2222FX/2442FX

Use the STEREO AUX RETURN FX control to determine the

level of the signal routed from the AUX RETURN FX jacks to the

main mix. If nothing is connected to these jacks, the output of the

built-in effects module will appear.
MAIN MIX / TO SUBS

This switch routes the signal fed in via the STEREO AUX

RETURN FX jacks either to the main mix (not pressed) or to the

submix (pressed).

On the 2442FX you can select which subgroup the signal is

assigned to (switches 1-2 / 3-4, to the right of MAIN MIX / TO

SUBS).
SOLO RETURNS

Additionally, this model allows you to route the aux returns

together to the solo bus and the PFL bus. The LED lights up when

Solo is on.
STEREO AUX RETURN 4 (2442FX only)

This control behaves the same way as the other stereo aux

returns. Additionally, it provides for a simple monitor path using

the switch PHONES/CTRL ROOM ONLY.
PHONES/CTRL ROOM ONLY

Use this switch to route the signal appearing at the AUX

RETURN 4 jacks to the control room and headphones outputs.

2.3.6 Supplement to 1832FX

The 1832FX has a stereo fader for the AUX RETURN FX and

offers a variety of routing options: MUTE disables the effect

return (but not PFL of course!), SOLO routes it to the Solo or PFL

busses, SUB to the subgroups and MAIN to the main mix.

MON

The MON switch routes the signals appearing at the AUX

RETURN 2 jacks to the monitor path, along with the monitor signals

from the channels.

If you wish to route the effect signal to the monitor mix, you

can also switch aux 1 to pre-fader, drive the effect device from

the aux 1 output and return the effect signal via AUX RETURN 2

to the monitor signal.

2.3.7 XPQ Surround function (1832FX 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 XENYX 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 CD/TAPE INPUT, you can easily listen to

additional sources (e.g. cassette recorder, MD player, sound

card, etc.).

Using the voice canceller function (1832FX 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
