1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! With the EURODESK you have acquired a

state-of-the-art mixing console that sets new standards. Right

from the very start it has been our goal to design a revolutionary

unit that can be used for a great variety of applications. And

indeed, this overwhelming mixing console gives you plenty of

functionality and a broad range of connection and expansion

options.

BEHRINGER is a company with its roots in professional

recording studio technology. For many years now we have

been successful in developing products for studio and live use.

These include microphones and studio gear of all kinds

(compressors, enhancers, noise gates, tube processors,

headphone amplifiers, digital effects, DI boxes, etc.), monitor

and P.A. speakers as well as professional live and recording

mixers. Our entire technical know-how has gone into your

EURODESK mixing console.
FBQ Feedback Detection System

One of the most outstanding features of this console

is the FBQ Feedback Detection System, which is

part of the graphic equalizer. This ingenious circuit

makes it possible to detect and subsequently

eliminate feedback frequencies very quickly. FBQ

increases the brightness of the EQ fader LEDs for the frequency

bands where feedback is occurring. What used to be a tedious

search for feedback frequencies is now mere childs play.

IMP Invisible Mic Preamp

The microphone channels are equipped with

BEHRINGERs brand-new high-end IMP Invisible

Mic Preamps, which offer you:

s 130 dB of dynamic range and hence an unbelievable amount

of headroom,

s a bandwidth from below 10 Hz to above 200 kHz for the

crystal-clear reproduction of even the slightest details,

s extremely noise and distortion-free circuitry for absolutely

natural sound and neutral signal reproduction,

s perfect adaptation to any microphone on the market (up

to 60 dB gain and +48 V phantom power), and

s the possibility of pushing the dynamic range of your

24-bit/192-kHz HD recorder to the max and thus achieving

ultimate audio quality.

What is more, the EURODESK comes with two effects

processors using 24-bit A/D and D/A converters and

the effects algorithms of our renowned 19" multi-

effects device VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P. Each

processor offers 99 presets with first-class room simulations,

delay and modulation effects as well as compressor, tube

distortion and numerous other effects availableall with excellent

audio quality!

The mixer is equipped with a state-of-the-art

integrated switch-mode power supply. Unlike

conventional designs, this supply automatically

adapts to supply voltages between 100 and

240 V. With its considerably higher efficiency, it is

also more economical in terms of power consumption than

standard power supply units.
