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).

®
PRESETS
Here is an overview of all of the multi-effects
processors presets. This effects module gives you
various standard effects, such as reverb, chorus,
flanger, delay and various combination effects that
have already shown what they can do in our 19"
effects processor, the VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P. The aux
send FX in the channels and the aux send FX master control
allow you to feed the effects processor with signals.
Fig. 4.1: Digital effects module
The built-in stereo effects processor has the advantage that it
does not need to be wired up. This excludes the danger of
humming or level mismatch right from the start and thus
considerably facilitates use.
FX parallel
These effect presets are classical mixing effects. If you
move the STEREO AUX RETURN FX control, you mix the channel
signal (dry) and the effect signal. You can control the balance
between the two signals with the channel fader and the STEREO
AUX RETURN FX control.
INS(ERT) FX (NO CH. ROUTING)
The right column contains effect presets that are used for
complete signal processing. This should not be confused with
adding an effect to a dry channel signal. If you are using these
presets, you should not route the dry channel to the main bus
or the subgroups (MAIN switch and SUB switch next to channel
fader). Instead, you should route only the effects signal to the
main mix or subgroups (STEREO AUX RETURN FX control).
FX OUT
Mixing consoles UB2222FX-PRO and UB2442FX-PRO have a
separate output for the effects device, which is unbalanced and
stereo (tip = left signal; ring = right signal; sleeve = ground/
shielding). Thus, you can record, for example, a vocal track
enhanced with reverb in parallel to a dry vocal track; when
doing the mix-down later on, you can freely determine the amount
of reverb added.
+ The UB2442FX-PRO has the effect output on the rear,
UB2222FX-PRO has it located next to the aux sends
on the front panel.
FX FOOTSW.
Connect a standard foot switch to the foot switch jack and
use this to switch the effects processor on and off. A light at the
bottom of the display indicates wheater the effects processor
has been muted by the foot switch.
+ In Chapter 6.2 you will find an illustration showing
how to connect your foot switch correctly.
LEVEL
The LED level meter on the effects module should display a
sufficiently high level. Take care to ensure that the clip LED only
lights up at peak levels. If it is lit constantly, you are overloading
the effects processor and this could cause unpleasant distortion.
PROGRAM
You can select the effect preset by turning the PROGRAM
control. The display flashes with the number of the current preset.
To recall the selected preset, press on the button; the flashing
stops. You can also recall the selected preset with the foot
switch.

5.1 Main mix outputs, insert points and
control room outputs
Fig. 5.1: Main Mix outputs, main mix insert points and
control room outputs
MAIN OUTPUTS
The MAIN outputs carry the MAIN MIX signal and are on
balanced XLR jacks with a nominal level of +4 dBu. In parallel
with this, 1/4" phone jacks carry the main mix signal in a balanced
format (UB1622FX-PRO: here, the phone jack outputs are
unbalanced and located on the front panel).
CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS (CTRL OUT)
The control room output is normally connected to the monitoring
system in the control room and carries the stereo mix or, when
selected, the solo signals.
MAIN INS(ERTS) (UB2442FX-PRO only)
These are the insert points for the main mix. In the signal path,
they are post-main mix amp, but pre-main fader(s). Use them to
insert, for example, a dynamics processor or graphic equalizer.
Please also note the information on insert points in chapter 5.3.
5.2 Subgroup outputs
Fig. 5.2: Subgroup outputs
SUB OUTPUTS
The subgroup outputs are unbalanced and provide the mix of
those channels assigned to each subgroup with the SUB switch
(UB2442FX-PRO: switches 1-2 or 3-4) next to the channel faders.
Thus, you can, for example, route a subgroup to a second console
