XENYX 1622FX/1832FX/2222FX/2442FX
Use the STEREO AUX RETURN FX control to determine the
level of the signal routed from the AUX RETURN FX jacks to the
main mix. If nothing is connected to these jacks, the output of the
built-in effects module will appear.
MAIN MIX / TO SUBS
This switch routes the signal fed in via the STEREO AUX
RETURN FX jacks either to the main mix (not pressed) or to the
submix (pressed).
On the 2442FX you can select which subgroup the signal is
assigned to (switches 1-2 / 3-4, to the right of MAIN MIX / TO
SUBS).
SOLO RETURNS
Additionally, this model allows you to route the aux returns
together to the solo bus and the PFL bus. The LED lights up when
Solo is on.
STEREO AUX RETURN 4 (2442FX only)
This control behaves the same way as the other stereo aux
returns. Additionally, it provides for a simple monitor path using
the switch PHONES/CTRL ROOM ONLY.
PHONES/CTRL ROOM ONLY
Use this switch to route the signal appearing at the AUX
RETURN 4 jacks to the control room and headphones outputs.
2.3.6 Supplement to 1832FX
The 1832FX has a stereo fader for the AUX RETURN FX and
offers a variety of routing options: MUTE disables the effect
return (but not PFL of course!), SOLO routes it to the Solo or PFL
busses, SUB to the subgroups and MAIN to the main mix.

MON
The MON switch routes the signals appearing at the AUX
RETURN2 jacks to the monitor path, along with the monitor signals
from the channels.
If you wish to route the effect signal to the monitor mix, you
can also switch aux 1 to pre-fader, drive the effect device from
the aux 1 output and return the effect signal via AUX RETURN 2
to the monitor signal.
2.3.7 XPQ Surround function (1832FX only)
Fig. 2.14: Control elements of the surround function
The XPQ surround function can be enabled/
disabled with the XPQ TO MAIN switch. This is
a built-in effect that widens the stereo width,
thus making the sound more lively and trans-
parent. Use the SURROUND control to determine the intensity of
this effect.
VOICE CANCELLER
Here, you have a filter circuitry that lets you almost
entirely remove the vocal portion of a recording. The
filter is constructed in such a way that voice
frequencies are targeted without majorly affecting
the rest of the signal. Additionally, the filter seizes
only the middle of the stereo image, exactly there where the
vocals are typically located.
+ Connect the signal sources you wish to process
using the Voice Canceller to the CD/TAPE INPUT
connectors. The Voice Canceller circuitry is not
available for other inputs.
Possible applications for the Voice Canceller are obvious: you
can very simply stage background music for Karaoke events. Of
course, you can also do this at home or at your rehearsal room
before you hit the stage. Singers with their own band can practice
singing difficult parts using a complete playback from a tape
player or a CD, thus minimizing rehearsal time.
2.3.8 CD/Tape input, CD/tape output

CD/TAPE INPUT
The CD/TAPE INPUT jacks (RCA) are designed to accept a
2-track recorder (e.g. DAT recorder), or they can be used as
stereo line input. The output signal of a second XENYX or the
BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can also be connected
here. If you connect the output of a hi-fi amplifier (with a source
selection switch) to the CD/TAPE INPUT, you can easily listen to
additional sources (e.g. cassette recorder, MDplayer, sound
card, etc.).
Using the voice canceller function (1832FX only), you can
process all signals being brought into your mixing console via
these connectors.
CD/TAPE OUTPUT
These connectors are wired in parallel to the MAIN OUT and
carry the main mix signal (unbalanced). Connect this to the inputs
of your recording device. The final output level can be adjusted
