3. Graphic 9-Band Equalizer
(UB1832FX-PRO only)
UB1832FX-PRO
Fig. 3.1: The graphic stereo equalizer of the UB1832FX-PRO
The graphic stereo equalizer allows you to tailor the sound to the room acoustics.
EQUALIZER
Use this switch to activate the graphic equalizer.
MAIN MIX/MONITOR
This toggles the graphic equalizer between the main mix and the monitor mix.
With the switch up (not depressed), the equalizer is active in stereo on the main
mix, and inactive on the monitor mix.
When the switch is depressed the equalizer is active in mono on the monitor mix,
and inactive on the main mix.
FBQ FEEDBACK DETECTION
The switch turns on the FBQ Feedback Detection System. It uses
the LEDs in the frequency band faders to indicate the critical
frequencies. On a per-need basis, lower the frequency range
in question somewhat in order to avoid feedback. The graphic
stereo equalizer has to be turned on in order to use this function.
◊ Logically, at least one (ideally several) microphone channels have to be
open for feedback to occur at all!
Feedback is particularly common when stage monitors (“wedges”)
are concerned, because monitors project sound in the direction of microphones.
Therefore, you can also use the FBQ Feedback Detection for monitors by placing
the equalizer in the monitor bus (see MAIN MIX/MONITOR).
4. Digital Eects Processor
24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Here you can nd a list of all presets stored in the multi-eects
processor. This built-in eects module produces high-grade
standard eects such as reverb, chorus, anger, delay and various
combination eects. Use the Aux Send FX on the channels and the
Aux Send FX master control to determine the input signal of the eects processor.
The built-in stereo eects processor has the advantage that it does not need to
be wired up. This excludes the danger of humming or level mismatch right from
the start and thus considerably facilitates use.
These eect presets are classical “mixing eects”. If you move the STEREO AUX
RETURN FX control, you mix the channel signal (dry) and the eect signal. You can
control the balance between the two signals with the channel fader and the
STEREO AUX RETURN FX control.

FX OUT
Mixing consoles UB2222FX-PRO and UB2442FX-PRO have a separate output
for the eects device, which is unbalanced and stereo (tip = left signal;
ring = right signal; sleeve = ground/shielding). Thus, you can record,
for example, a vocal track enhanced with reverb in parallel to a “dry” vocal track;
when doing the mix-down later on, you can freely determine the amount of
reverb added.
◊ The UB2442FX-PRO has the effect output on the rear, UB2222FX-PRO
has it located next to the aux sends on the front panel.
FX FOOTSW
Connect a standard foot switch to the foot switch jack and use this to switch
the eects processor on and o. A light at the bottom of the display indicates
wheater the eects processor has been muted by the foot switch.
◊ In Chapter 6.2 you will find an illustration showing how to connect your
foot switch correctly.
LEVEL
The LED level meter on the eects module should display a suciently high
level. Take care to ensure that the clip LED only lights up at peak levels. If it is
lit constantly, you are overloading the eects processor and this could cause
unpleasant distortion.
PROGRAM
You can select the eect preset by turning the PROGRAM control. The display
ashes with the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset,
press on the button; the ashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset
with the foot switch.
