EURORACK UB1222FX-PRO Controls
Controls
MIC – Each mono input channel offers a balanced
(1)
(EN)
microphone input via the XLR connector and also
features a switchable +48 V phantom power supply for
condenser microphones.
LINE IN – Each mono input also features a balanced line
(2)
input on a 1/4" connector.
INSERT – Insert points enable the processing of a signal
(3)
with dynamic processors or equalizers and pre-aux send.
LOW CUT – The mono channels of the mixing consoles
(4)
have a high-slope LOW CUT filter for eliminating
unwanted, low-frequency signal components
(80 Hz, 18 dB/octave).
TRIM – Use the TRIM control to adjust the input
(5)
gain. This control should always be turned fully
counter-clockwise whenever you connect or disconnect
a signal source to one of the inputs. The scale has
2 different value ranges: the first value range
(+10 to +60 dB) refers to the MIC input and shows the
amplification for the signals fed in there.
The second value range (+10 to -40 dBu) refers to the
line input and shows its sensitivity.
LEVEL SET – This LED lights up when the optimum
(6)
operating signal level is achieved. During normal use,
this LED should only light up during signal peaks.
The upper (HIGH) and the lower band (LOW) are shelving
(7)
filters that increase or decrease all frequencies above or
below their cut-off frequency. The cut-off frequencies
of the upper and lower band are 12 kHz and 80 Hz
respectively. The mid band is configured as a peak filter
with a center frequency of 2.5 kHz.
MON – In the UB1222FX-PRO, aux send 1 (MON) is wired
(8)
pre-fader and is thus particularly suitable for setting up
monitor mixes.
FX – The aux send labeled FX is for feeding external
(9)
effects devices and is thus set up to be post-fader.
PAN – The PAN control determines the position of the
(10)
channel signal within the stereo image. This control
features a constant-power characteristic, which means
the signal is always maintained at a constant level,
irrespective of position in the stereo panorama.
MUTE – Use the MUTE switch to mute the channel.
(11)
MUTE LED – The MUTE LED indicates that the relevant
(12)
channel is muted.
CLIP LED – The CLIP LED lights up when the input signal
(13)
is driven too high.
Each stereo channel features two line-level inputs on
(14)
1/4" connectors for left and right channels. Channels 9/10
and 11/12 can also be used in mono if you only use the
connector labeled "L."
Both channels 5/6 and 7/8 feature an additional balanced
(15)
XLR input for microphones with available +48 V
phantom power.
All stereo channel strips have a TRIM control for level
(16)
setting. In those channels in which a mic input is present
in the channel, the TRIM control has two scales: just like
in the mono channels, there is a 0 to +40 dB scale that
shows the preamplification of the mic signal; the +20 to
-20 dB scale shows the sensitivity for the corresponding
input level that is applied to the line input.
MON SEND – The aux send control MON SEND acts as
(17)
master control for the monitor bus and determines the
level of the summed signal that is taken from the mixer
via the MON SEND connector and that can for example be
fed to an amplifier for monitor purposes.
FX TO MON – You can use this control to insert an
(18)
effects signal from the built-in effects processor to your
monitor mix.
MON MUTE – If the MON MUTE switch is pressed,
(19)
the monitor bus is muted, i.e. there is no signal at the
MON SEND connector.
FX SEND – The FX SEND fader determines the overall
(20)
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.
FX TO MAIN – Use the FX TO MAIN control to feed the
(21)
effects signal into the main mix. If the control is turned
all the way to the left, no effects signal can be heard.
FX MUTE – If the FX MUTE switch is pressed, the effects
(22)
channel is muted, i.e. no signal is present at the FX SEND
connector and the effects processor no longer receives
an input signal.
MON SEND – Connect the input of your monitor
(23)
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.
FX SEND – The FX SEND connector outputs the signal
(24)
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.
AUX RETURN 1 – The AUX RETURN 1 connectors
(25)
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.
AUX RETURN 2 – The AUX RETURN 2 connectors are used
(26)
exactly the same 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.
VOICE CANCELLER – Here, you have a filter circuitry
(27)
that lets you almost entirely remove the vocal portion of
a recording. The filter is constructed in such a way that
voice frequencies are targeted without majorly affecting
the rest of the signal.
STANDBY – If the STANDBY switch is pressed, all input
(28)
channels with a mic connector (XLR connector) are
muted. During breaks or stage conversion, you can
prevent noise from entering the sound system via
the microphones.
To bring in other sound sources, you can use the 2-track
inputs, stereo input channels 9 to 12 and the aux
return inputs.
2-TRACK MUTE – Using this switch, the input signal
(29)
from the 2-track inputs is muted.
2-TRACK RET(URN) – This stereo fader assigns the input
(30)
signal from the 2-track inputs into the main mix.
2-TRACK INPUT – The 2-TRACK INPUT RCA connectors
(31)
are provided for connecting a 2-track machine
(e.g. DAT recorder) or also a CD player.
2-TRACK OUTPUT – These connectors are wired pre
(32)
graphic EQ and pre XPQ surround function. They carry
the main mix signal (unbalanced), effects mix included.
Connect the 2-TRACK OUTPUT to the inputs of your
recording device.

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.
POWER – Use the POWER switch to power up 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.

24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR –
(46)
Here you can find a list of all presets stored in the
multi-effects processor.
These effect presets are designed to be added to dry
signals. If you move the FX TO MAIN control, you mix
the channel signal (dry) and the effect signal.
This also goes for mixing effects signals with the
monitor mix. The main difference is that the mix ratio
is adjusted using the FX TO MON control. Of course,
a signal has to be fed into the effects processor via the
FX control in the channel strip for both applications.
