EURORACK UB1622FX-PRO/UB1832FX-PRO/UB2222FX-PRO/UB2442FX-PRO
+ A signal fed into the stereo return jacks can be
output via an aux send jack. More information on
this can be found in chapter 2.3.5 STEREO AUX
RETURN 1/2 (TO AUX SEND).
STEREO AUX RETURN FX
The STEREO AUX RETURN FX jacks accept the effects mix
return (created using the channel FX sends). If these jacks are
already in use as additional inputs, you can route the effects
signal back into the console via a different channel. The advantage
of this is that you can now use that channels EQ on the effects
return signal.
+ 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,
do not plug any connectors into the STEREO AUX
RETURN FX jacks, unless you want to tap the
processed signal via the FX OUT (UB2222FX-PRO and
UB2442FX-PRO only).
2.3.4 The monitor section of the UB1832FX-PRO
One of the ways that the UB1832FX-PRO differs from the other
models of this series is that it has a separate monitor output.
Fig. 2.10: Monitor output of the UB1832FX-PRO
The first aux send (MON) on this console is used to set up the
monitor mix from the channels and route it to the MON SEND
fader.

MUTE
Press the MUTE switch to mute the monitor send.
SOLO
The SOLO switch routes the monitor send to the solo bus
(post-fader and post-mute) or to the PFL bus (pre-fader and
pre-mute). The position of the MODE switch in the main section
determines which of the buses is selected.
2.3.5 Stereo aux return control
STEREO AUX RETURN 1
The STEREO AUX RETURN 1 control determines the level of
this signal in the main mix. If STEREO AUX RETURN 1 is used as
effects return, this will determine the level of the effects when
mixed with any dry channel signal.
UB1622FX-PRO and UB1832FX-PRO: On these consoles, this
function is performed by the AUX SEND 2 control (FX).
SOLO
You can use the SOLO switch to separately monitor the aux
sends via the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES outputs and check
these with the level meters.
+ If you want to monitor the signal of just one AUX
bus, none of the other SOLO SWITCHES should be
pressed and the MODE switch should be in the SOLO
position (not depressed).
2.3.2 Aux send jacks
Fig. 2.8: Aux send jacks
AUX SEND jacks
The AUX SEND jack should be used when hooking up a monitor
power amp or active monitor speaker system. The relevant aux
path should be set pre-fader.
+ On the UB2222FX-PRO, aux send 1 is hard wired
as pre-fader and hence called MON. Model
UB1832FX-PRO has a dedicated monitor output
(MON OUT jack), cf. chapter 2.3.4.
As already mentioned, the aux sends in the channelsif set
post-fadercan be used to connect to external effects devices.
AUX SEND (FX)
The AUX SEND (FX) jack carries the master aux mix (from the
channels FX controls). You can connect this to an external
effects device to process the FX bus. The processed signal can
then be brought from the effects device back into the STEREO
AUX RETURN jacks.
2.3.3 Stereo aux return connectors
Fig. 2.9: The aux return connectors
+ On the UB2222FX-PRO, UB1832FX-PRO and
UB1622FX-PRO the STEREO AUX RETURN jacks
are located on the front panel of the unit.
STEREO AUX RETURN
The STEREO AUX RETURN 1 jacks generally serve as the
return for the effects mix (created using the post-fader aux
sends) by connecting the output of an external effects device. If
only the left jack is connected, the AUX RETURN is automatically
switched to mono.
+ You can also use these jacks as additional line
inputs.
All stereo aux returns are balanced, but can of course also be
used with unbalanced connectors. If you use an aux send for
monitoring, the associated unused stereo aux returns are
available for other line level signals (e.g. keyboards).
