17 XENYX XL3200/XL2400/XL1600 User Manual
MON
Use the MON controls to add an eect signal to the monitor buses 1 and 2.
Forthis application, the eects unit needs a signal: turn up the respective master
FXSEND control and the FX send controls on the channel strips (34) and pull up
the channel faders.
1-2, 3-4
These selector switches route the eect signal to the main mix or to the subgroups
1-2 or 3-4. For example, if you create a subgroup for a choir, you need to feed the
eect, which processes the vocal signal, to the same subgroup so that all signals
can be adjusted equally. In this case it doesn't matter that the FX sends are routed
post-fader as long as the choir's volume level is adjusted with the subgroup fader.
Otherwise, the eect signal is perceived as unaected in the main mix.
MUTE
The MUTE switch mutes the eect return path. Use this function to deactivate
the reverb eect of a vocalist who makes announcements between songs.
Thecorresponding MUTE LED indicates that the channel is muted.
SOLO
Press the SOLO switch to listen in on the eect signal on the
headphones/speakers as well as see it on the monitor meter ½.
Thecorresponding LED lights up when the solo function is activated.
FX RETURN
The FX return fader adjusts the volume level of the returned eect signal in the
main mix and subgroups (this depends on the routing switch you have pressed).
5.8 Monitor send section
The monitor send section merges the monitor signals of all channels. Thenthe
mix is sent to the monitor outputs. The monitor fader provides precise
adjustment and optical control of the monitor outputsignals.
SEND
The SEND faders control the output level of the monitor buses. Each fader is
60mm long and features 10 dB headroom.
MUTE
Each monitor send has a MUTE switch and MUTE LED.
SOLO
For acoustic control of the stage sound, use the SOLO switch to feed the monitor
signal to the headphone and speaker output. If you connect the speaker output to
a monitor that is identical with the monitor speakers on stage, you can tell how
the stage sound is perceived.
5.9 AUX master section
This section is split up in an aux send section (left side) and an aux return
section(right side). The aux send paths 1 and 2 can individually be switched from
pre-fader to post-fader depending on whether you want to use them as monitor
or eect signal paths. As with all outputs, both aux master outputs feature 10 dB
headroom as well as a MUTE and SOLO switch.
In the aux return section, you can adjust the signals of the devices (CD player,
eects unit, submixer, etc.) connected to the aux inputs which are then routed to
the monitor buses and the main mix.
PRE/POST
This is the global PRE/POST switch for the aux buses. For utmost exibility,
eachAUX bus can individually be switched from pre-fader to post-fader.
AUX SEND
The Master AUX SEND controls 1 and 2 adjust the signals' volume level of the
respective aux send connector. This way you adjust the sum of the AUX 1 and
AUX2 signals on the input channels.
MUTE
The MUTE switch mutes the aux outputs.
SOLO
The aux send signals can individually be listened to using the SOLO function.
MON
A signal sent from AUX RETURN can be added to the stage mix using the
MONcontrol.
AUX RETURN
The AUX RETURN controls adjust the volume level of the aux return signals in the
main mix.
