2.3.3 Stereo aux return connectors
Fig. 2.8: Stereo aux return connectors
STEREO AUX RETURN 1
The STEREO AUX RETURN 1 connectors generally serve as the return path for the
e ects mix generated using the post-fader aux send. This is where you connect
the output signal of the external e ects device. If only the left connector is used,
the AUX RETURN automatically operates in mono.
◊ ◊ You can also use these connectors as additional line inputs.
STEREO AUX RETURN 2
The STEREO AUX RETURN 2 connectors serve as the return path for the e ects
mix generated using the FX control. If these connectors already function as
additional inputs, you can route the e ects signal back into the console via a
di erent channel, with the added bene t that the channel EQ can be used to
adjust the frequency response of the e ects 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, 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 e ects return, you can
add the e ects signal to any "dry" channel signal.
◊ ◊ 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 e ect to a monitor mix. For example:
Monitor mix with e ect
In this instance, the e ects device should be set up as follows: AUX SEND 2 is
connected to the L/Mono input of your e ects device, while its outputs are connected
to STEREO AUX RETURN 1. Connect the ampli er 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
e ects signal routed to the monitor mix.
You can easily use the headphones distribution ampli er 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).
2.3.5 Tape input / tape output
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. DAT recorder). 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- ampli er with a source
selection switch to the CD/TAPE INPUT, you can easily switch between additional
sources (e.g. cassette recorder, CD player, etc.).
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 nal output level can be adjusted via the high-precision
MAIN MIX fader.
◊ ◊
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
Fig. 2.11: Control room/phones section, level meter
CD/TAPE
The TAPE switch routes the signal from the TAPE IN connectors to the level meter,
the CONTROL ROOM OUT outputs and the PHONES connector this is a simple way
to check recorded signals via monitor speakers or headphones.
ALT 3-4
Similarly, the ALT 3-4 switch routes the signal from the Alt 3-4 bus to the same
path for monitoring purposes.
MAIN MIX
The MAIN MIX switch sends the main mix signal to the above-mentioned
outputs and to the level meter.
