On each channel, the AUX 1 and AUX 2 controls allow you to determine the 

level of the aux signals sent from the channel. The main aux send signal 

comprising the aux send signals from all channels can then be adjusted 

with the corresponding master AUX SEND controls 

(51)

, and is present at the 

AUX SEND outputs 

(52)

. Both aux sends are mono, post-EQ, with a gain of up 

to +15 dB.

(10) 

Press the PRE switch to set all aux sends to pre-fader. In this case, 

the volume of the aux signals is no longer dependent on the fader position, 

so you can create completely independent monitor mixes.

(11) 

FX 1 and FX 2 controls provide a direct route to the built-in effects processor. 

Additionally, they can be used to control an external effects unit, via the 

FX SEND 1 and 2 outputs (similar to the AUX SEND 1 and 2 jacks). To ensure 

that the internal effects processor and the FX SEND outputs actually get a 

signal, the corresponding FX control must not be set fully counter-clockwise 

(-oo), and the master FX SEND (see 

(60)

) must be turned up. The FX buses are 

hard wired post-fader.

The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal in the 

stereo mix as well as the subgroup to which the channel signal is routed 

(see chapter 2.4).

(13) 

Use the MUTE switch to mute the channel signal, so it is no longer part of 

the main mix. At the same time, all aux buses set to post-fader are muted for 

the respective channel, while the pre-fader monitor buses remain operative. 

The MUTE LED is illuminated when the channel is muted.

(14) 

The CLIP LED illuminates when the channel overloads. In this case, 

please reduce the input gain using the GAIN control. This LED also illuminates 

when you activate the solo function with the SOLO switch below.

(15) 

The SOLO switch routes the channel signal to the solo bus (Solo In Place) 

or the PFL bus (Pre Fader Listen). Thus, you can monitor a channel signal 

without affecting the main output signal. The signal to be monitored is 

taken either pre (PFL, mono) or post-panorama control (Solo, stereo) and 

post-channel fader (depending on the position of the SOLO/PFL switch 

(40)

).

(16) 

The SUB switch routes the signal to the respective subgroups. 

Your EURODESK features 4 subgroups (1-2 and 3-4). With the PAN control on 

the input channel (see 

(12)

) you can determine to which of the two groups 

the signal is routed (hard left: sub 1 or 3, hard right: sub 2 or 4).

(17) 

The MAIN switch routes the signal to the main mix.

(18) 

The channel fader governs the level of the channel signal as part of the main 

mix (or submix).

Fig. 2.5: Stereo channel inputs

(19) 

Each stereo channel is equipped with two balanced line-level inputs on 

¼" TRS connectors for the left and right channels. The channels can also 

process mono signal, as long as you use the “LEFT” jack only.

(20) 

All stereo channel strips have a GAIN control for gain adjustment. Its scale 

ranges from +20 to -20 dB and allows you to adapt the input level to the 

line inputs.

 

(21)

Fig. 2.6: Stereo channel equalizer

The stereo channels are equipped with a stereo equalizer. The filter types 

and cutoff frequencies for HIGH and LOW filters are the same as on the mono 

channels. Instead of one semi-paramtric midrange band, the stereo channels 

have two separate midrange bands 

(21) 

(HIGH MID and LOW MID) with fixed 

mid-frequencies (3 kHz and 400 Hz). Stereo EQs are preferable for processing 

the frequency response of stereo signals. With two mono equalizers you might 

encounter problems with different settings between the left and right channels.
