and  lower  band  are  12  kHz  and  80 Hz  respectively.  The  mid

band  is  configured  as  a  peak  filter  with  a  center  frequency  of

2.5  kHz.  Unlike  shelving  filters,  the  peak  filter  processes  a

frequency range that extends upwards and downwards around

its middle frequency.

2.1.3 Aux sends (MON and FX)

Fig. 2.3: The AUX SEND controls in the channel strips

Aux sends take signals via a control from one or more channels

and sum these signals to a so-called bus. This bus signal is sent

to an aux send connector and then routed, for example, to an

active monitor speaker or an external effects device. The return

from an external effects device can then be brought back into

the console via the aux return connectors.

For situations that require effects processing, the aux sends

are usually switched post-fader so that the effects volume in a

channel corresponds to the position of the channel fader. If this

were  not  the  case,  the  effects  signal  of  the  channel  would

remain audible even when the fader is turned to zero.

When setting up a monitor mix, the aux sends are generally

switched  to  pre-fader;  i.e.  they  operate  independently  of  the

position of the channel fader.

Both aux sends are mono, are sourced after the equalizer and

offer up to +15 dB gain.

+

If  you  press  the  MUTE  switch  of  the  respective

channel,  aux  sends  and  returns  (MON  and  FX)  are

not  being  muted.

MON

In the UB1222FX-PRO, aux send 1 (MON) is wired pre-fader

and is thus particularly suitable for setting up monitor mixes.

FX

The aux send labeled 

FX

 is for feeding external effects devices

and is thus set up to be post-fader.

In the UB1222FX-PRO, the FX send is routed directly to the

built-in  effects  processor.  To  make  sure  that  the  effects

processor receives an input signal, you shouldn’t turn this control

all  the  way  to  the  left  (-oo).  Don’t  have  the  FX  MUTE  switch

pressed, and you should also not have the FX SEND fader pulled

down.

2.1.4 Pan, mute switch and channel fader

Fig. 2.4: Channel fader and additional control elements

PAN

The 

PAN

 control determines the position of the channel signal

within the stereo image. This control features a constant-power

characteristic, which means the signal is always maintained at a

constant level, irrespective of position in the stereo panorama.

MUTE

Use the 

MUTE

 switch to mute the channel. This means that the

channel signal is no longer present in the main mix. However, the

aux sends (MON and FX) remain active.

If you want to use insert effects, you have to press the MUTE

switch, thus removing the signal of the corresponding channel

from the main mix (see also ch. 3: “DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR

AND XPQ SURROUND FUNCTION”). The processed signal is

then routed via the FX TO MAIN control back to the main mix.

MUTE LED

The 

MUTE

 LED indicates that the relevant channel is muted.

CLIP LED

The 

CLIP

 LED lights up when the input signal is driven too high.

In this case, lower apparent frequency increase on the channel

EQ to avoid distortion. For example, lower the mids and the highs

somewhat to emphasize the bass. If you don’t wish to change

the EQ settings under any circumstances, try lowering the TRIM

control  somewhat  (counterclockwise).

If  you  inserted  an  external  effects  processor  via  the  insert

connector  (e.  g.  a  dynamic  processor),  then  you  should  also

control its output signal level. It should not be higher than its input

signal level (0 dB).

The channel fader determines the level of the channel signal in

the main mix.

+

Attention: Since the aux path for the effect processor

is  connected  post-fader,  the  channel  fader  has  to

be  turned  up  in  order  to  get  this  channel’s signal to

the  effects  processor!
