[. . . ] EX2200 Users Manual Version 1. 3 April 2001 DUALFEX PRO ® www. behringer. com ENGLISH DUALFEX PRO EX2200 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside; refer servicing to qualified personnel. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosurevoltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. [. . . ] Set up the unit as described in section 3. 2. 1 Sound Enhancement During Replay. In particularly difficult cases, we recommend using the BEHRINGER DUALFEX PRO both during recording and replay. 2. 2. 3 Enhancing the Sound of Subgroups, Monitor and Effect Paths For this application there are several options: 1. If your mixer features subgroup outputs with insert points, you can process the subgroups separately. You can also combine monitor and effect paths and route them via the BEHRINGER DUALFEX PRO to a free input channel. The respective signals have to be taken pre-fader, the respective channels must be muted. It will be useful to insert the BEHRINGER DUALFEX PRO as the last component in the chain of effects devices. The summed signals will then be routed through the DUALFEX PRO, and sent back to the master via the effect returns. 10 2. APPLICATIONS DUALFEX PRO EX2200 2. 2. 4 Enhancing the Sound of Tape Duplication Even under the most favourable of conditions, presence, liveliness and transparency of the program material will suffer during each copying process. These losses are particularly obvious when copying cassettes while simultaneously using a noise reduction system. With the BEHRINGER DUALFEX PRO, losses during tape duplication can be avoided or compensated for. Provided that the original is of good enough quality with only low noise levels. It is even possible to produce super copies which sound even better than the original. For this purpose, the BEHRINGER DUALFEX PRO is inserted between the line outputs of the source machine and the inputs of the target machine. Machines with post-head listening control (setting tape) allow you to check the quality of the copy while duplicating the tape. + If the tape noise is fairly high, a different strategy is required, since the BEHRINGER DUALFEX PRO can effectively process the frequency ranges in which the most predominant noise portions can be found. We recommend attenuation of noisy high frequencies, either with an equalizer orbetter stillwith a single-ended noise reduction system. The BEHRINGER DUALFEX PRO will process those frequencies with all their natural claritybut without the tape noise. 2. 2. 5 Enhancing the Sound of Instruments The bandwidth of most electronic musical instruments is limited by its sampling rate. The BEHRINGER DUALFEX PRO can improve the sound, so that synthesizers, samplers and drum machines have a more natural and transparent sound. With the BEHRINGER DUALFEX PRO even tiny details within the sound of acoustic musical instruments (e. g. acoustic guitars) can be emphasized without affecting the overall sound of the instrument. Percussion instruments, such as toms or bass drums, benefit from being processed by becoming more powerful, precise and defined. Please note that low-level signals, such as from microphones or guitars, should be run through a preamplifier before the processing stage, since the BEHRINGER DUALFEX PRO is a line-level device (-20 to +10 dBu).
