GAIN 2.1.3 Monitor and effects busses (Aux Sends)

Use the GAIN control to adjust the input 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 dB) refers to the line input and shows
its sensitivity. The settings for equipment with st andard line-level signals
(-10 dBV or +4 dBu) look like this: While the GAIN control is turned all the way
down, connect your equipment. Set the GAIN control to the external devices’
standard output level. If that unit has an output signal level display, it should
show 0 dB during signal peaks. For +4 dBu, turn up GAIN slightly, for -10 dBV
a bit more. Fine-tuning of a signal being fed in is done using the level meter.
To route the channel signal to the level meter, you have to press the SOLO switch
and set the MODE switch in the main section to PFL (LEVEL SET). UB1622FX–PRO UB2442FX–PRO

The SUB switch routes the signal to the corresponding subgroups.
The UB2442FX-PRO has 4 subgroups (1-2 and 3-4).

The MAIN switch routes the signal to the main mix bus.
The channel fader determines the channel’s volume in the main mix (or submix).

2.2.1 Channel inputs

UB2442FX–PRO

PAN
The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal within the stereo
image. When working with subgroups, you can use the PAN control to assign
the signal to just one output, which gives you additional flexibility in recording
situations. For example, when routing to subgroups 3 and 4, panning hard left
will route the signal to group output 3 only, and panning hard right will route to
group output 4 only.

2.2.2 Equalizer stereo channels
The stereo channels contain a stereo EQ section. The cut-off frequencies of
the high and low bands are 12 kHz and 80 Hz respectively, while the center
frequencies of the high-mid and low-mid bands are 3 kHz and 500 Hz
respectively. The HIGH and LOW controls have the same characteristics as the EQ
in the mono channels. Both mid range bands are of the peak filter type. A stereo
EQ is superior to two mono EQs on a stereo signal as two separate EQs will usually
result in a discrepancy between left and right channels.

2.2.3 Aux sends stereo channels

In principle, the aux sends of the stereo channels function the same way as those UB2442FX-PRO
