5.1 Main mix outputs, insert points and
control room outputs
Fig. 5.1: Main Mix outputs, main mix insert points and control room outputs
MAIN OUTPUTS
The MAIN outputs carry the MAIN MIX signal and are on balanced XLR jacks with
a nominal level of +4 dBu. In parallel with this, 1/4" phone jacks carry the main
mix signal in a balanced format (UB1622FX-PRO: here, the phone jack outputs are
unbalanced and located on the front panel).
CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS (CTRL OUT)
The control room output is normally connected to the monitoring system in the
control room and carries the stereo mix or, when selected, the solo signals.
MAIN INS(ERTS) (UB2442FX-PRO only)
These are the insert points for the main mix. In the signal path, they are
post-main mix amp, but pre-main fader(s). Use them to insert, for example,
a dynamics processor or graphic equalizer. Please also note the information on
insert points in chapter 5.3.

5.2 Subgroup outputs

Fig. 5.2: Subgroup outputs
SUB OUTPUTS
The subgroup outputs are unbalanced and provide the mix of those channels
assigned to each subgroup with the SUB switch (UB2442FX-PRO: switches 1-2
or 3-4) next to the channel faders. Thus, you can, for example, route a subgroup
to a second console or use the output as a recording output in parallel to the
main outputs. In this way, you can record several tracks simultaneously. With an
8-track recorder, use Y cables and wire the inputs of your machine so that you
have 2 x 4 tracks available (e.g. channel 1 to track 1 and 2, etc.). In the first pass,
you can record the tracks 1, 3, 5 and 7, in the second the tracks 2, 4, 6 and 8.
The EURORACK UB2442FX-PRO already has subgroup outputs wired in parallel
(1-5, 2-6, etc.).

5.3 Inserts

Fig. 5.3: Insert points
◊ On the UB2442FX-PRO the channel insert points are located on the
control panel between the line input and the GAIN control.
Insert points are very useful to process channel signals with dynamic processors
or equalizers. Unlike reverb or other effects devices, whose signals are usually
added to the dry signal, dynamic processors are most effective on the complete
signal. In this case, aux send paths are a less-than-perfect solution. It is better
to interrupt the signal path and insert a dynamic processor and/or equalizer.
After processing, the signal is routed back to the console at precisely the same
point it left. However, the channel signal path is interrupted only if a plug is
inserted into the corresponding jack (stereo phone plug: tip = signal output;
ring = return input). All mono input channels are equipped with inserts.
They are pre-fader, pre-EQ and pre-aux send. Inserts can also be used as pre-EQ
direct outputs, without interrupting the signal path. To this end, you will need
a cable fitted with mono phone plugs on the tape machine or effect device end,
and a bridged stereo phone plug on the console side (tip and ring connected).

5.4 Direct outputs (UB2442FX-PRO only)

Fig. 5.4: Direct outputs
DIRECT OUTPUTS
The direct outputs of the UB2442FX-PRO (1 each per mono input channel)
are ideal for recording if several tracks are to be recorded simultaneously.
These unbalanced phone jacks are post-EQ, post-mute and post-fader.
5.5 Voltage supply, phantom power supply
and fuse

FUSE HOLDER/IEC MAINS RECEPTACLE
The console is connected to the mains via the cable supplied, which meets the
required safety standards. Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the
same type and rating. The mains connection is made via a cable with IEC mains
connector. An appropriate mains cable is supplied with the equipment.
