1. Thus the concept and design of the new UB mixing consoles bear my signature The design work the entire circuit diagram and PCB development and even the mechanical concepts are my own work carefully selected each individual component with the aim of pushing the mixing consoles analog and digital technologies to their limits My vision was to enable you the user to give free rein to your true potential and creativity The result is incredibly powerful mixing consoles that offer intuitive operation They cannot fail to impress with their extremely flexible routing possibilities plus fantastic wealth of functions Innovative technologies such as the completely new IMP Invisible Mic Preamps guarantee optimum sound quality And extraordinarily high quality components provide unrivalled reliability even under extreme loads Your new UB mixing console is of high quality yet is simple to use you ll soon appreciate that I both personally and in my capacity as musician and sound engineer put you the end user first and that these products were only possible because of the passion and the attention to detail that went into them Thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing the UB mixing console should also like to thank all those who with their personal commitment and passion have helped me realize this impressive series of mixing consoles Kindest regards Uli Behringer TABLE OF CONTENTS IMPORTANT2. 9 999 PRE FADER PRE EG TIP SEND RING RETURN UB1622FX PRO Fig 5 3 Insert points 35 On the UB2442FX PRO the channel insert points are located on the control panel between the line input and the TRIM 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 DIRECT OUTPUTS e 999 UB2442FX PRO Fig 5 4 Direct outputs DIRECT OUTPUTS The direct outputs of the UB2442FX PRO 1 each per mono input channel are ideal for re
