1.3.3 Online registration

Please do remember to register your new BEHRINGER equipment

right after your purchase by visiting www.behringer.com

(alternatively www.behringer.de) and kindly read the terms and

conditions of our warranty carefully.

Should your BEHRINGER product malfunction, our goal is to

have it repaired as quickly as possible. To arrange for warranty

service, please contact the retailer from whom the equipment

was purchased. Should your BEHRINGER dealer not be located

in your vicinity, you may directly contact one of our subsidiaries.

Corresponding contact information is included in the original

equipment packaging (Global Contact Information/European

Contact Information). Should your country not be listed, please

contact the distributor nearest you. A list of distributors can be

found in the support area of our website (www.behringer.com).

Registering your purchase and equipment with us helps us

process your repair claims quicker and more efficiently.

Thank you for your cooperation!

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

Fig. 2.1: Connectors and controls on the mono channels

MIC

Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone input

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

phantom power supply for condenser microphones.

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 2.4 Main section.

LINE IN

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

connector. Unbalanced devices (mono connectors) 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!

TRIM

Use the TRIM 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.

The scale has 2 different value ranges: the first value range

(+10 to +60 dB) refers to the MIC input and shows the

amplification for the signals fed in there.

The second value range (+10 to -40 dBu) refers to the line

input and shows its sensitivity. The settings for equipment

with standard line-level signals (-10 dBV or +4 dBu) look like this:

While the TRIM control is turned all the way down, connect your

equipment. Set the TRIM control to the external devices standard

output level. If that unit has an output signal level display, it

should show 0 dB during signal peaks. For +4 dBu, turn up TRIM

slightly, for -10 dBV a bit more. Tweaking is done using the CLIP

LED.
EQ

All mono input channels include a 3-band equalizer. All bands

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

equalizer is inactive.

The upper (HIGH) and the lower band (LOW) 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 is configured as a peak filter with a center frequency of

2.5 kHz. Unlike shelving filters, the peak filter processes a

frequency range that extends upwards and downwards around

its middle frequency.
LOW CUT

In addition, the mono channels are equipped with a steep LOW

CUT filter (slope at 18 dB/oct., -3 dB at 75 Hz) designed to

eliminate unwanted low-frequency signal components. These

can be noises created by hand-held microphones, subsonic

noise or plosive sounds created by highly sensitive microphones.
FX

FX sends enable you to feed signals via a variable control

from one or more channels and sum these signals to a bus. The

bus appears at the consoles FX send output and can be fed

from there to an external effects device. The return from the

effects unit is then brought back into the console on the stereo

channels. Each FX send is mono and features up to +15 dB gain.

As the name suggests, the FX sends of the EURORACK mixing

consoles are intended to drive effects devices (reverb, delay,

etc.) and are therefore configured post-fader. This means that

the mix between dry signal and effect remains at the level

determined by the channels aux send, irrespective of the channel

fader setting. If this were not the case, the effects signal of the

channel would remain audible even when the fader is lowered

to zero. With UB mixing consoles, the channel fader is called

LEVEL control.
