Stereo aux return control2.3.5
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 eects return, this will determine
the level of the eects when mixed with any “dry” channel signal.
When used in this way, the effects device should be set at 100% effect.◊

STEREO AUX RETURN 1/2 (TO AUX SEND)
The two right-hand STEREO AUX RETURN controls have a special function:
they can be used to add an eect to a monitor mix. An example follows
(X1622USB wired to an eects device):
Monitor mix with eect
In this instance, your eects device should be set up as follows: the AUX SEND 2
jack should be connected to the L/Mono input of your eects device, with its
outputs coming back into the STEREO AUX RETURN 1 jacks.
Connect the AUX SEND 1 jack output to the amplier of your monitor system.
The AUX SEND 1 master control determines the overall volume of the
monitor mix.
Using the STEREO AUX RETURN (TO AUX SEND) control, the eect signal can
now be blended into the monitor mix.
You can easily use the headphones distribution amplier BEHRINGER POWERPLAY
PRO HA4700/HA8000 to provide four (HA8000: eight) stereo headphone mixes for
your studio.
The following table shows which jacks on the console can be used for
this purpose.

STEREO AUX RETURN FX
On consoles X1622USB and X1832USB this is the STEREO AUX RETURN 2,
on consoles X2222USB and X2442USB this is the STEREO AUX RETURN 3.
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 eects 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 X2442USB 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.
