EURORACK UB1204FX-PRO/UB1204-PRO

Quick Start Guide

(EN)

Controls

(1)

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.

(2)

LINE

– IN Each mono input also features a balanced

line input on a °" connector. Unbalanced devices

(mono jacks) can also be connected to these inputs.

(3)

LOW CUT

–

The mono channels of the mixing consoles

have a high-slope LOW CUT filter for eliminating

unwanted, low-frequency signal components

(75 Hz, 18 dB/octave).

(4)

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.

(5)

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.

(6)

AUX 1 (MON)

–

In the UB1204FX-PRO, aux send 1 can

be switched pre-fader and is thus particularly suitable

for setting up monitor mixes. In the UB1204-PRO,

the first aux send is labeled MON and is permanently

switched pre-fader.

(7)

PRE

–

When the PRE switch is pressed, aux send 1 is

sourced pre-fader.

(8)

AUX 2 (FX)

–

The aux send labeled FX is for sending to

effects devices and is thus set up to be post-fader. In the

UB1204FX-PRO, the FX send is routed directly to the

built-in effects processor.

(9)

PAN

–

The PAN control determines the position of the

channel signal within the stereo image. This control

features a constant-power characteristic, which means

the signal is always maintained at a constant level,

irrespective of position in the stereo panorama.

(10)

MUTE/ALT 3-4

–

You can use the MUTE/ALT 3-4 switch

to divert the channel from the main mix bus to the

Alt 3-4 bus. This mutes the channel from the main mix.

(11)

MUTE LED

–

The MUTE LED indicates that the relevant

channel is diverted to the submix (Alt 3-4 bus).

(12)

CLIP LED

– The CLIP LED lights up when the input

signal is driven too high. In this case, turn down the

GAIN control and, if necessary, check the setting of the

channel EQ.

(13)

SOLO

– The SOLO switch (UB1204FX-PRO only) is used

to route the channel signal to the solo bus (Solo In Place)

or to the PFL bus (Pre Fader Listen). This enables you to

monitor a channel signal without affecting the main

output signal. The signal you hear is sourced either

before (PFL, mono) or after (solo, stereo) both the pan

control and the channel fader.

(14)

CHANNEL INPUTS

–

Each stereo channel has two

balanced line level inputs on °" connectors for left and

right channels. If only the connector marked “L” is used,

the channel operates in mono. Stereo channels are

designed to handle typical line level signals.

(15)

LEVEL

–

For level matching, the stereo inputs feature

a LEVEL switch which selects between +4 dBu and

-10 dBV. At -10 dBV (home-recording level), the input is

more sensitive than at +4 dBu (studio level).

(16)

AUX SEND 1 (MON)

–

The AUX SEND control MON acts as

master control for aux send 1 and determines the level

of the summed signal. In the UB1204FX-PRO, the MON

control is called AUX SEND 1.

(17)

AUX SEND 2 (FX)

–

Similarly, the FX control

(AUX SEND 2) determines the level for aux send 2.

(18)

SOLO

–

You can use the SOLO switch

(UB1204FX-PRO only) to separately monitor the

aux sends via the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES outputs and

check these with the level meters.

(19)

AUX SEND 1

–

If you use aux send 1 pre-fader, you would

usually connect the AUX SEND 1

connector to monitors

via a power amp (or an active monitor system). If you

use aux send 1 post-fader, proceed as described under

aux send 2.

(20)

AUX SEND 2

–

The

AUX SEND 2 connector outputs the

signal you picked up from the individual channels using

the FX control. You can connect this to the input of an

effects device in order to

process the FX bus signal.

Once an effects mix is created, the processed signal can

then be routed from the effects device output back into

the STEREO AUX RETURN connectors.

(21)

STEREO AUX RETURN 1

–

The STEREO AUX RETURN 1

connectors generally serve as the return path for the

effects mix generated using the post-fader aux send.

This is where you connect the output signal of the

external effects device. If only the left connector is used,

the AUX RETURN automatically operates in mono.

(22)

STEREO AUX RETURN 2

–

The STEREO AUX RETURN 2

connectors serve as the return path for the effects mix

generated using the FX control. If these connectors

already function as additional inputs, you can route

the effects signal back into the console via a different

channel, with the added benefit that the channel EQ

can be used to adjust the frequency response of the

effects return signal.

(23)

STEREO AUX RETURN 1

–

STEREO AUX RETURN 1 is a

stereo control which determines the level of the signal

in the main mix.

(24)

STEREO AUX RETURN MON

–

The STEREO AUX RETURN

MON control has a special function: it can be used to add

an effect to a monitor mix.

(25)

STEREO AUX RETURN 2 (FX)

–

The STEREO AUX

RETURN 2 control determines the level of signals fed into

the AUX RETURN 2 connectors which are routed to the

main mix.

(26)

MAIN MIX/ALT 3-4

–

The MAIN MIX/ALT 3-4 switch

routes the signal connected to STEREO AUX

RETURN 2 to either main mix (not pressed) or submix

(Alt 3-4, pressed).

(27)

2-TRACK INPUT

–

The 2-TRACK INPUT RCA connectors

are provided for connecting a 2 track machine

(e.g. DAT recorder). They can also be used as stereo

line input.

(28)

2-TRACK OUTPUT

–

These connectors are wired in

parallel with the MAIN OUT and carry the main mix signal

(unbalanced). Connect the 2-TRACK OUTPUT to the inputs

of your recording device. The final output level can be

adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader.

(29)

2-TRACK

–

The 2-TRACK

switch routes the signal

from the 2-TRACK IN connectors to the level meter,

the CONTROL ROOM OUT outputs and the PHONES

connector this is a simple way to check recorded signals

via monitor speakers or headphones.

(30)

ALT 3-4

–

Similarly, the ALT 3-4 switch routes the

signal from the Alt 3-4 bus to the same path for

monitoring purposes.

(31)

MAIN MIX

–

The MAIN MIX switch sends the main mix

signal to the above-mentioned outputs and to the

level meter.

(32)

PHONES/CTRL RM

–

Use this control to set control room

output level and headphones volume respectively.

(33)

2-TRACK TO MAIN

–

When the 2-TRACK TO MAIN switch

is depressed, the 2-track input is routed to the main mix

and thus serves as an additional input for 2-track

machines. You can also connect MIDI instruments or

other signal sources here that do not require any further

processing. At the same time, this switch disables the

main mix to 2-TRACK OUTPUT link.

(34)

POWER

–

The blue POWER LED indicates that the

device is switched on.

(35)

+48 V

–

The red “+48 V” LED lights up when the

phantom power supply is switched on. The phantom

power supply is necessary for condenser microphones

and is activated using the switch on the rear of

the device.

(36)

MODE (UB1204FX-PRO only)

–

The MODE

switch determines whether the channels’ SOLO

switch operates as PFL (Pre Fader Listen) or as solo

(Solo In Place).

(37)

MAIN SOLO (UB1204FX-PRO only)

–

The MAIN SOLO

LED lights up as soon as a channel or aux send solo

switch is pressed. The MODE switch also has to be set

at “Solo”.

(38)

PFL (UB1204FX-PRO only)

–

The PFL LED indicates

that the peak meter is set to PFL mode.

(39)

PHONES

–

You can connect headphones to this °"

TRS connector. The signal on the PHONES connection is

sourced from the control room output.

(40)

ALT 3-4 AND MAIN MIX FADER

–

Use the high-

precision quality faders to control the output level of

the Alt 3-4 subgroup and main mix.

(41)

MAIN OUTPUTS

–

The MAIN outputs carry the

MAIN MIX signal and are on balanced XLR connectors

with a nominal level of +4 dBu.

(42)

ALT 3-4 OUTPUTS

–

The ALT 3-4 outputs are

unbalanced and carry the signals of the channels that

you have assigned to this group using the MUTE switch.

This can be used to route a subgroup to a further

mixing console for example, or or it could be used as

a recording output working in tandem with the main

output. This means you could record to four tracks

simultaneously. The icing on the cake, so to speak,

is that you could connect Y-cables to these four outputs

and then connect your 8-track recorder in such a way

that you have 2 x 4 tracks (e.g. channel 1 feeds track 1

and track 2, etc.). In the first recording pass, you record

on tracks 1, 3, 5 and 7 and in the second pass, on tracks

2, 4, 6 and 8.

(43)

CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS

–

The control room

output is normally connected to the monitor system

in the control room and provides the stereo mix or,

when required, the solo signal.

(44)

FUSE HOLDER

–

The console is connected to the mains

via the cable supplied which meets the required safety

standards. Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses

of the same type and rating.

(45)

IEC MAINS RECEPTACLE

–

The mains connection is via

a cable with IEC mains connector. An appropriate mains

cable is supplied with the equipment.

(46)

POWER

–

Use the POWER switch to power up the

mixing console.

(47)

PHANTOM

–

The PHANTOM switch activates the

phantom power supply for the XLR connectors of

the mono channels which is required to operate

condenser microphones. The red +48 V LED lights

up when phantom power is on. As a rule, dynamic

microphones can still be used with phantom power

switched on, provided that they are wired in a

balanced configuration. In case of doubt, contact the

microphone manufacturer!

(48)

24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR

–

Here you

can find a list of all presets stored in the

multi-effects processor.

(49)

FX FOOTSW

–

Connect a standard foot switch to the

foot switch connector; use this to switch the effects

processor on and off. A dot at the bottom of the display

indicates if the effects processor is muted via the

foot switch.

(50)

LEVEL

–

The LED level meter on the effects module

should display a sufficiently high level. Take care to

ensure that the clip LED only lights up at peak levels.

(51)

PROGRAM

–

You can select the effect preset by turning

the PROGRAM control. The display flashes the number

of the current preset. To recall the selected preset,

press the button; the flashing stops. You can also recall

the selected preset with the foot switch.
