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.

Fig. 4.1: Digital effects module

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 2222FX and 2442FX 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.

Fig. 5.1: Main Mix outputs, main mix insert points and control room outputs

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 (1622FX: 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) (2442FX 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.

Fig. 5.2: Subgroup outputs

SUB OUTPUTS
The subgroup outputs are unbalanced and provide the mix 

of those channels assigned to each subgroup with the SUB 

switch (2442FX: switches 1-2 or 3-4) next to the channel 

faders. Thus, you can, for example, route a subgroup to a 

second console or use the output as a recording output 

in parallel to the main outputs. In this way, you can record 

several tracks simultaneously. With an 8-track recorder, use Y 

cables and wire the inputs of your machine so that you have 2 

x 4 tracks available (e.g. channel 1 to track 1 and 2, etc.). In the 

first pass, you can record the tracks 1, 3, 5 and 7, in the second 

the tracks 2, 4, 6 and 8.
The XENYX 2442FX already has subgroup outputs wired in 

parallel (1-5, 2-6, etc.).

Fig. 5.3: Insert points

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).

Fig. 5.4: Direct outputs 

DIRECT OUTPUTS
The direct outputs of the 2442FX (1 each per mono input 

channel) are ideal for recording if several tracks are to be 

recorded simultaneously. These unbalanced phone jacks are 

post-EQ, post-mute and post-fader.

Fig. 5.5: Voltage supply and fuse

FUSE HOLDER/IEC MAINS RECEPTACLE
The console is connected to the mains via the cable 

supplied, which meets the required safety standards. Blown 

fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and 

rating. The mains connection is made via a cable with IEC 

mains connector. An appropriate mains cable is supplied 

with the equipment.

POWER switch
Use the POWER switch to turn on the mixing console. The 

POWER switch should always be in the “Off” position when 

you are about to connect your unit to the mains.
To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main 

cord plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug 

is easily accessible. If mounting in a rack, ensure that the 

mains can be easily disconnected by a plug pull or by an all-

pole disconnect switch on or near the rack.

PHANTOM switch
The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power 

(necessary to operate condenser microphones) on the XLR 

sockets of the mono channels. The red +48 V LED illuminates 

when phantom power is on. As a rule, dynamic microphones 

can still be used with phantom power, provided that they are
