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.

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).

24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Here you can find a list of all presets stored in the multi-effects processor. 

This built-in effects module produces high-grade standard effects such as reverb, 

chorus, flanger, delay and various combination effects. Use the Aux Send FX on 

the channels and the Aux Send FX master control to determine the input signal of 

the effects processor.

The built-in stereo effects 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 effect presets are classical “mixing effects”. If you move the STEREO AUX 

RETURN FX control, you mix the channel signal (dry) and the effect 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 X2222USB and X2442USB have a separate output for the effects 

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.

FX FOOTSW.
Connect a standard foot switch to the foot switch jack and use this to switch 

the effects processor on and off. A light at the bottom of the display indicates 

wheater the effects processor has been muted by the foot switch.

LEVEL
The LED level meter on the effects module should display a sufficiently 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 effects processor and this could cause 

unpleasant distortion.

PROGRAM
You can select the effect preset by turning the PROGRAM control. The display 

flashes with the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, 

press on the button; the flashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset 

with the foot switch.

MAIN OUTPUTS
The MAIN outputs carry the MAIN MIX signal and are on balanced XLR jacks with 

a nominal level of +4 dBu. In parallel with this, ¼" phone jacks carry the main 

mix signal in a balanced format (X1622USB: here, the phone jack outputs are 

unbalanced and located on the front panel).

CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS (CTRL OUT)
The control room output is normally connected to the monitoring system in the 

control room and carries the stereo mix or, when selected, the solo signals.

MAIN INS(ERTS) (X2442USB only)
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.
