STEREO AUX RETURN 2
The STEREO AUX RETURN 2 connectors serve as the return 

path for the effects mix generated using the FX control. 

If these connectors already function as additional inputs, 

you can route the effects signal back into the console via a 

different channel, with the added benefit that the channel 

EQ can be used to adjust the frequency response of the 

effects return signal.

STEREO AUX RETURN 1
STEREO AUX RETURN 1 is a stereo control which determines 

the level of the signal in the main mix. If STEREO AUX 

RETURN 1 is used as effects return, you can add the effects 

signal to any “dry” channel signal.

STEREO AUX RETURN MON
The STEREO AUX RETURN MON control has a special function: 

it can be used to add an effect to a monitor mix.  

For example:

Monitor mix with effect
In this instance, the effects device should be set up as 

follows: AUX SEND 2 is connected to the L/Mono input 

of your effects device, while its outputs are connected 

to STEREO AUX RETURN 1. Connect the amplifier of your 

monitor system to AUX SEND 1. The AUX SEND 1 master 

control determines the volume of the monitor mix.
You can now use the STEREO AUX RETURN MON control  

to adjust the level of the effects signal routed to the  

monitor mix.
You can easily use the headphones distribution amplifier 

BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO HA4600/HA4700/HA8000 

to provide you with four (or eight with the HA8000) stereo 

headphone mixes for your studio.

STEREO AUX RETURN 2 (FX)
The STEREO AUX RETURN 2 control determines the level of 

signals fed into the AUX RETURN 2 connectors which are 

routed to the main mix.

MAIN MIX/ALT 3-4
The MAIN MIX/ALT 3-4 switch routes the signal connected to 

STEREO AUX RETURN 2 to either main mix (not pressed) or 

submix (Alt 3-4, pressed).

CD/TAPE INPUT
The CD/TAPE INPUT RCA connectors are provided for 

connecting a 2 track machine (e.g. DAT recorder). They can 

also be used as stereo line input. Alternatively, the output 

signal of a second XENYX or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO 

MX882 can also be connected. If you connect a hi-fi amplifier 

with a source selection switch to the CD/TAPE INPUT, you 

can easily switch between additional sources (e.g. cassette 

recorder, CD player, etc.).

CD/TAPE OUTPUT
These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT 

and carry the main mix signal (unbalanced). Connect the CD/

TAPE OUTPUT to the inputs of your recording device. The final 

output level can be adjusted via the high-precision MAIN 

MIX fader.

The equalizer of the stereo channels is, of course, stereo. The 

filter characteristics and crossover frequencies are the same 

as those of the mono channels. A stereo equalizer is always 

preferable to two mono equalizers if frequency correction 

of a stereo signal is needed. There is often a discrepancy 

between the settings of the left and the right channels when 

using separate equalizers.

In principle, the aux sends of the stereo channels function 

in just the same way as those of the mono channels. As aux 

send paths are always mono, the signal on a stereo channel 

is first summed to mono before it reaches the aux bus.

BAL
The function of the BAL(ANCE) control corresponds to the 

PAN control in the mono channels.
The balance control determines the relative proportion 

between the left and right input signals before both signals 

are routed to the main stereo mix bus.
The MUTE/ALT 3-4 switch, the MUTE-LED, the CLIP-LED, the 

SOLO switch and the channel fader function in the same way 

as the mono channels.

Whereas it was useful to trace the signal flow from top to 

bottom in order to gain an understanding of the channel 

strips, we now look at the mixing console from left to right. 

The signals are, so to speak, collected from the same point 

on each of the channel strips and then routed to the main 

section all together.

A channel signal is routed to aux send bus 1 if the AUX 1 

control is turned up on the corresponding channel.

AUX SEND 1 (MON)
The AUX SEND control MON acts as master control for aux 

send 1 and determines the level of the summed signal.  

In the X1204USB, the MON control is called AUX SEND 1.

AUX SEND 2 (FX)
Similarly, the FX control (AUX SEND 2) determines the level 

for aux send 2.

SOLO
You can use the SOLO switch (X1204USB only) to separately 

monitor the aux sends via the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES 

outputs and check these with the level meters.

AUX SEND 1
If you use aux send 1 pre-fader, you would usually connect 

the AUX SEND 1 connector to monitors via a power amp  

(or an active monitor system). If you use aux send 1 post-

fader, proceed as described under aux send 2.

AUX SEND 2
The AUX SEND 2 connector outputs the signal you picked 

up from the individual channels using the FX control. You 

can connect this to the input of an effects device in order to  

process the FX bus signal. Once an effects mix is created, the 

processed signal can then be routed from the effects device 

output back into the STEREO AUX RETURN connectors.

STEREO AUX RETURN 1
The STEREO AUX RETURN 1 connectors generally serve as the 

return path for the effects mix generated using the post-

fader aux send. This is where you connect the output signal 

of the external effects device. If only the left connector is 

used, the AUX RETURN automatically operates in mono.
