Monitor Send And Fx Send Connector; Aux Return Connectors; Cd/Tape Return Channel, Voice Canceller And Connection Socket - Behringer Xenyx 1222FX User Manual

You can use this control to insert an effects signal from the
built-in effects processor to your monitor mix. Of course, to do
this, your effects processor must first receive a signal, i.e. the
FX controls in the channel strips must be turned up, and the
FX SEND fader (see fig. 2.6) hast to be open.
If the MON MUTE switch is pressed, the monitor bus is muted,
i.e. there is no signal at the MON SEND connector.
The FX SEND fader determines the overall level of the effects
bus. Both external effects processors (via the FX SEND
connector) and the built-in processor only receive an input signal
if this control is open.
Use the FX TO MAIN control to feed the effects signal into the
main mix. If the control is turned all the way to the left, no effects
signal can be heard.
If the FX MUTE switch is pressed, the effects channel is
muted, i.e. no signal is present at the FX SEND connector and the
effects processor no longer receives an input signal.

Connect the input of your monitor power amp or an active
monitor system here to make the monitor mix audible to the
musicians on the stage. The signal mix is created using the
channels’ MON controls.
The FX SEND connector outputs the signal you picked up
from the individual channels using the FX controls. You can
connect this to the input of an external effects device in order to
process the FX bus’ master signal. Once an effects mix is created,
the processed signal can then be routed from the effects device
outputs back into the AUX RETURN connectors.

2.3.3 Aux return connectors

The AUX RETURN 1 connectors generally serve as the return
path for the effects mix generated using the FX send. This is
where you connect the output signal of the external effects
device. If only the left connector is used, the aux return 1
automatically operates in mono.

way as the AUX RETURN 1 connectors. If these connectors
already function as additional inputs, you can route the effects
signal back into the console via a different stereo channel, with
the added benefit that the channel EQ can be used to adjust the
frequency response of the effects return signal.

in such a way that voice frequencies are targeted without majorly
affecting the rest of the signal. Additionally, the filter seizes only

can very simply stage background music for Karaoke events. Of
course, you can also do this at home or at your rehearsal room

singing difficult parts using a complete playback from a tape

mic connector (XLR connector) are muted. During breaks or
stage conversion, you can prevent noise from entering the sound
system via the microphones. Such noise can in the worst-case
scenario even irreparably damage loudspeaker membranes. The
cool thing about this is that the main mix faders can remain open,
so that you can play music from a CD at the same time. Similarly,
the faders for the muted channels can also remain in their position.
