[. . . ] 2. 8: Stereo aux return connectors STEREO AUX RETURN 1 The STEREO AUX RETURN 1 connectors generally serve as the return path for the effects mix generated using the postfader aux send. This is where you connect the output signal of the external effects device. If only the left connector is used, the AUX RETURN automatically operates in mono. 2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTORS 7 XENYX 1204/1204FX + You can also use these connectors as additional line inputs. 2. 3. 5 Tape input / tape output STEREO AUX RETURN 2 The STEREO AUX RETURN 2 connectors serve as the return path for the effects mix generated using the FX control. If these connectors already function as additional inputs, you can route the effects signal back into the console via a different channel, with the added benefit that the channel EQ can be used to adjust the frequency response of the effects return signal. + + Fig. 2. 10: 2-track connectors CD/TAPE INPUT The CD/TAPE INPUT RCA connectors are provided for connecting a 2 track machine (e. g. They can also be used as stereo line input. Alternatively, the output signal of a second XENYX or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can also be connected. If you connect a hi-fi amplifier with a source selection switch to the CD/TAPE INPUT, you can easily switch between additional sources (e. g. CD/TAPE OUTPUT These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT and carry the main mix signal (unbalanced). Connect the CD/TAPE OUTPUT to the inputs of your recording device. The final output level can be adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader. 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, no connectors should be plugged into STEREO AUX RETURN 2. 2. 3. 4 Stereo aux return + Fig. 2. 9: Stereo aux return controls STEREO AUX RETURN 1 STEREO AUX RETURN 1 is a stereo control which determines the level of the signal in the main mix. If STEREO AUX RETURN 1 is used as effects return, you can add the effects signal to any dry channel signal. If you connect a compressor or a noise gate after the 2-track output, the faders will probably not be able to create a satisfactory fade-out effect. 2. 3. 6 Level meter and monitoring + In this instance, the effects device should be set at 100% effect. STEREO AUX RETURN MON The STEREO AUX RETURN MON control has a special function: it can be used to add an effect to a monitor mix. For example: Monitor mix with effect In this instance, the effects device should be set up as follows: AUX SEND 2 is connected to the L/Mono input of your effects device, while its outputs are connected to STEREO AUX RETURN 1. Connect the amplifier of your monitor system to AUX SEND 1. The AUX SEND 1 master control determines the volume of the monitor mix. You can now use the STEREO AUX RETURN MON control to adjust the level of the effects signal routed to the monitor mix. You can easily use the headphones distribution amplifier BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO HA4600/HA4700/HA8000 to provide you with four (or eight with the HA8000) stereo headphone mixes for your studio. STEREO AUX RETURN 2 (FX) The STEREO AUX RETURN 2 control determines the level of signals fed into the AUX RETURN 2 connectors which are routed to the main mix. MAIN MIX/ALT 3-4 The MAIN MIX/ALT 3-4 switch routes the signal connected to STEREO AUX RETURN 2 to either main mix (not pressed) or submix (Alt 3-4, pressed).
