EURORACK UB1204-PRO/UB1204FX-PRO 1.2 The users manual The users manual is designed to give you both an overview of the controls, as well as detailed information on how to use them. In order to help you understand the links between the controls, we have arranged them in groups according to their function. If you need to know more about specific issues, please visit our website at http://www.behringer.com, where youll find explanations of e.g. effects and dynamics applications. + The block diagram supplied with the mixing console gives you an overview of the connections between the inputs and outputs, as well as the associated switches and controls. For the moment, just try and trace the signal path from the microphone input to the aux send 1 connector. Dont be put off by the huge range of possibilities; its easier than you think! If you look at the overview of the controls at the same time, youll be able to quickly familiarize yourself with your mixing console and youll soon be making the most of all its many possibilities. 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 2.1.1 Microphone and line inputs 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. + 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 inoperative. + 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 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). 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 +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 2.4.2 Voltage supply, phantom power and fuse. 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! LO CUT The mono channels of the mixing consoles have a high-slope LO CUT filter for eliminating unwanted, low-frequency signal components (75 Hz, 18 dB/octave). 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. All bands provide boost or cut of up to 15 dB. In the central position, the equalizer is inactive. 2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTORS 5
