EURORACK UB1622FX
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
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

+
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)

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
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.
Use the POWER switch to turn on the mixing console. The
POWER switch should always be in the “Off” position when you
are about to connect your unit to the mains.
To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main cord
plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily
accessible. If mounting in a rack, ensure that the mains can be
easily disconnected by a plug pull or by an all-pole disconnect
switch on or near the rack.

The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power
(necessary to operate condenser microphones) on the XLR
sockets of the mono channels. The red +48 V LED illuminates
when phantom power is on. As a rule, dynamic microphones
can still be used with phantom power, provided that they are
wired in a balanced configuration. In case of doubt, contact the
microphone manufacturer!
