[. . . ] T1954 Users Manual Version 1. 1 December 2001 TUBE ULTRAFEX ® www. behringer. com ENGLISH TUBE ULTRAFEX T1954 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. [. . . ] With the help of the effect return control you can adjust the amount of the sound enhancing signal which is added to the summed signals. Be sure that the channels are muted for this kind of application, since the combination of original signals via the summed, as well as the effects path, may lead to phase cancellations (comb filter effect). 3. 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 TUBE ULTRAFEX, 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 TUBE ULTRAFEX 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 TUBE ULTRAFEX 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 or better still with a single-ended noise reduction system. The TUBE ULTRAFEX will process those frequencies with all their natural clarity - but without the tape noise. We would like to point out in this section that we offer an extremely powerful noise reduction system the DENOISER SNR2000. The noise produced by magnetic tapes or any other signal sources can be dramatically reduced with the BEHRINGER DENOISER SNR2000. Not only the noise produced by mixers, effects devices etc. , but also by synthesizers, guitars etc. , can be effectively reduced. Copied tapes and cassettes will benefit from low noise and high dynamics. The TUBE ULTRAFEX when used in conjunction with the DENOISER SNR2000 will prove an ideal combination for sound enhancement.

The BEHRINGER TUBE ULTRAFEX can improve the sound, so that synthesizers, samplers and drum machines have a more natural and transparent sound. With the TUBE ULTRAFEX even tiny details within the sound of acoustic musical instruments such as guitars etc. , can be emphasized without affecting the overall sound of the instrument. Drum instruments such as toms, bass drums etc. , benefit from a punch and thus achieve a more powerful, precise and defined sound. Please note that low-level signal sources such as microphones, guitars etc. should pass through a preamplifier before the processing stage, since the TUBE ULTRAFEX is a line-level device. 3. 6 Enhancing the Sound of P. A. and other sound reinforcement systems for background or live music, the BEHRINGER TUBE ULTRAFEX offers astounding advantages: 3. In audio systems for announcements and background music, the TUBE ULTRAFEX is placed in a similar way to recording and tape duplication - directly before the power amp.
