youll soon be making the most of all its many possibilities.

If you need to know more about specific issues, please visit

our website at http://www.behringer.com, where youll find

1.3 Before you get started

1.3.1 Shipment

Your mixing console was carefully packed in the factory to

guarantee safe transport. Nevertheless, we recommend that

you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any

signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during

transit.

If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to us,

but notify your dealer and the shipping company

immediately, otherwise claims for damage or

replacement may not be granted.

1.3.2 Initial operation

Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling

purposes and to avoid over-heating please do not place your

mixing console on high-temperature devices such as radiators

or power amps. The console is connected to the mains via the

supplied cable. The console meets the required safety standards.

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

and rating.

Never connect the EURORACK to the power supply

unit when the latter is connected to the mains!

First connect the power supply unit to the console,

then connect the power supply unit to the mains.

Please note that all units must be properly

grounded. For your own safety, you should never

remove any ground connectors from electrical

devices or power cables, or render them in-

operative.

Please ensure that only qualified people install and

operate the mixing console. During installation and

operation, the user must have sufficient electrical

contact to earth, otherwise electrostatic discharges

might affect the operation of the unit.

1.3.3 Warranty

Please take time to fill out and return the warranty card within

14 days after the date of purchase, so as to be entitled to benefit

from our extended warranty. Alternatively, you can use our

online registration option available on the world wide web

(www.behringer.com). You will find the serial number on the

rear of your mixing console.

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND

CONNECTORS

This chapter describes the various control elements of your

mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be

discussed in detail.

2.1 Mono channels

2.1.1 Microphone and line inputs

Fig. 2.1: Connectors and controls of mic/line inputs

MIC

Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone input

via the XLR connector and also features a switchable +48V

phantom power supply for condenser microphones. Please note:

the EURORACK UB502 does not supply phantom power.

Please mute your playback system before you

activate the phantom power supply to prevent

switch-on thumps being directed to your

loudspeakers. Please also note the instructions

in chapter 2.3.5 Phantom power and LED displays.

LINE IN

Each mono input also features a balanced line input on a 1/4"

connector. Unbalanced devices (mono jacks) can also be

connected to these inputs.

Please remember that you can only use either the

microphone or the line input of a channel at any

one time. You can never use both simultaneously!

GAIN

Use the GAIN control to adjust the input gain. This control

should always be turned fully counterclockwise whenever you

connect or disconnect a signal source to one of the inputs.

2.1.2 Equalizer

All mono input channels include a 3-band equalizer, except for

the UB502, which is equipped with a 2-band EQ. All bands provide

boost or cut of up to 15 dB. In the central position, the equalizer

is inactive.

Fig. 2.2: The equalizer of the mono input channels

The upper (HI) and the lower band (LO) are shelving filters

that increase or decrease all frequencies above or below their

cut-off frequency. The cut-off frequencies of the upper and

lower band are 12 kHz and 80 Hz respectively. The mid band

(UB802/UB1002/UB1202) is configured as a peak filter with a

center frequency of 2.5 kHz.
LO CUT

In addition, the mono channels (UB1002 and UB1202) are

equipped with a steep LO CUT filter (slope at 18 dB/oct., -3 dB

at 75 Hz) designed to eliminate unwanted low-frequency signal

components.
