[. . . ] UB1002FX/UB1202FX Users Manual Version 1. 0 February 2005 EURORACK ENGLISH EURORACK UB1002FX/UB1202FX IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS DETAILED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Read these instructions. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover (or the rear section). 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 and moisture. [. . . ] The stereo channels are designed to handle typical line level signals. FX The FX send of the stereo channels functions similar to that of the mono channels. However, since the FX send bus is mono, a mono sum is first taken from the stereo input before it is sent to the FX bus. PHONES/CONTROL ROOM OUT The stereo PHONES connector (at the top of the connector panel) is where headphones are connected. The unbalanced CONTROL ROOM OUT connectors carry the summed effects and main mix signals as well as soloed channel signals. The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control in the main section adjusts the level of both headphones and main monitor outputs. Depending on how you wish to use your mixer and which gear you own, you can connect the following equipment: Live PA systems: A stereo dynamics processor (optional), stereo equalizer (optional) and the stereo power amplifier for full-range loudspeakers with passive crossovers. 6 2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTORS EURORACK UB1002FX/UB1202FX If you wish to use multi-way loudspeaker systems without an integrated crossover, you have to use an active crossover and several power amplifiers. Active crossovers are implemented directly before the power amplifier, and they divide the frequency range into several segments that are first amplified in the amplifiers and then passed on to the corresponding loudspeakers. Recording: For mastering, using a stereo compressor such as the COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600 can be recommended. Use it to custom-tailor the dynamic characteristics of your signal to the dynamic range of the recording equipment you are using. The signal is in this case passed on from the compressor into the recorder. CD/TAPE INPUT The CD/TAPE INPUTs are used to bring an external signal source (e. g. They can also be used as a standard stereo line input, so the output of a second EURORACK or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can be connected. Alternatively the line or tape output of a hi-fi amplifier with source selection switch could also be hooked up here, allowing you to easily listen to additional sources (e. g. TAPE OUTPUT These connections are laid out as RCA connectors and are wired parallel to MAIN OUT. The output signal level is set up using the highly accurate MAIN MIX fader. You must never use unbalanced XLR connectors (PIN 1 and 3 connected) on the MIC input connectors if you want to use the phantom power supply. POWER The blue POWER LED indicates that the console is powered on. LEVEL INDICATOR The 4-segment display accurately displays the relevant signal level. LEVEL SETTING: To correctly set the gains of the channels, first set the LEVEL controls of the input channels to their center positions. Then use the TRIM controls to increase the input amplification until signal peaks show 0 dB on the level meter. When recording to digital recorders, the recorders peak meter should not go into overload. While analog recorders can be overloaded to some extent, creating only a certain amount of distortion, digital recorders distort quickly when overloaded.
