18 EURORACK UB1202/UB1002/UB802/UB502 EURORACK UB1202/UB1002/UB802/UB502 Controls (EN) Step 2: Controls This chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be discussed in detail. (1) MIC - Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone input via the XLR connector and also features switchable +48 V phantom power supply (UB802/1002/1202) for condenser microphones. The EURORACK preamps provide undistorted and noise-free gain as is typically known only from costly outboard preamps. (2) LINE IN - Each mono input also features a balanced line input on a ¼" 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! (9) CLIP - The CLIP LED's of the mono channels illuminate when the input signal is driven too high, which could cause distortion. If this happens, use the GAIN control to reduce the preamp level until the LED does not light anymore. (10) LINE IN - Each stereo channel has two balanced line level inputs on ¼" jacks for left and right channels. If only the jack marked "L" (left) is used, the channel operates in mono. The stereo channels are designed to handle typical line level signals. Both inputs will also accept unbalanced jacks. (11) FX - The FX sends of the stereo channels function similar to those of the mono channels. However, since the FX send buses are both mono, a mono sum is first taken from the stereo input before it is sent to the FX bus. The UB502 is not equipped with FXsends. (3) GAIN - Use the GAIN control to adjust the (12) BAL - The BAL(ANCE) control determines the input gain. This control should always be levels of left and right input signals relative turned fully counterclockwise whenever you to each other before both signals are then connect or disconnect a signal source to one of routed to the main stereo mix bus. If a channel the inputs. is operated in mono via the left line input, (4) EQUALIZER - All mono input channels include a 3-band equalizer, except for the this control has the same function as the PAN control used in the mono channels. UB502, which is equipped with a 2-band (13) +4/-10 - The stereo inputs of the EURORACK EQ. All bands provide boost or cut of up to UB1002 and UB1202 have an input sensitivity 15 dB. In the central position, the equalizer switch which selects between +4 dBu and is inactive. -10 dBV. At -10 dBV (home-recording level), (5) LOW CUT - In addition, the mono channels (UB1002 and UB1202) are equipped with a the input is more sensitive (requires less level to drive it) than at +4 dBu (studio level). steep LOW CUT filter designed to eliminate (14) STEREO AUX RETURN - UB802 only: the unwanted low-frequency signal components. STEREO AUX RETURN connectors are used (6) FX (UB802/UB1002/UB1202 only) - FX sends (or AUX 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 console's 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 aux return connectors (UB802) or normal channel inputs. Each FX send is mono and features up to +15 dB gain. to bring the output of the external effects device (whose input is derived from the aux sends) back into the console. You can instead use these connectors as additional inputs, but any effects device will then have to be brought back into the console via a normal stereo channel. This does, however, give you the ability to use the channel EQ on the effects return signal if you wish. If only the left connector is used, the AUX RETURN automatically operates in mono. Use the AUX RETURN control to determine how much (7) PAN - The PAN control determines the of the effects signal is sent to the main mix. 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. (15) FX SEND - The FX SEND output (does not apply for UB502) should be connected to the input of an external effects unit. The post-fader FX signal you created using the input channel FX controls is sent to the effects unit via the FX SEND ouput. Use the FX SEND (8) LEVEL - The LEVEL control determines the control of the main section to adjust the level of the channel signal in the main mix. overall send level (UB1002 and UB1202 only). 19 Quick Start Guide (16) PHONES/CONTROL ROOM - The stereo PHONES jack (at the top of the connector panel) is where you connect headphones. The unbalanced CTRL ROOM OUT jacks carry the summed effects and main mix signals, as well as soloed channel signals. The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control adjusts the level of both headphones and main monitor outputs. The UB502 is not equipped with control room outputs. (23) +48 V - The +48 V LED lights up when phantom power is on. The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power supply on the XLR connectors of all mono channels. (24) POWER - The POWER LED indicates that the console is powered on. (25) LEVEL INDICATOR - The high-precision 4-segment display accurately displays the relevant signal level. (17) MAIN MIX - The MAIN OUT connectors are unbalanced mono jacks. The main mix signal appears here at a level of 0 dBu. The MAIN MIX fader adjusts the volume of these outputs. The EURORACK UB802 and UB502 mixing consoles feature a rotary control for this purpose. Check Out behringer.com for Full Manual (18) 2-TRACK INPUT - The 2-TRACK INPUTs are used to bring an external signal source (e.g. CD player, tape deck, etc.) into the console. They can also be used as a standard stereo line input, so the output of a second EURORACK or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882 can be connected. (19) 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 output level is adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader or rotary control (UB502/UB802). (20) 2-TRACK TO MIX - When the TAPE TO MIX switch is depressed, the 2-track input is assigned to the main mix providing an additional input for tape machines, MIDI instruments or other signal sources that do not require any processing. (21) 2-TRACK TO CTRL ROOM - Press the 2-TRACK TO CTRL ROOM/PHONES switch if you want to monitor the 2-track input via the CTRL ROOM OUT. This provides an easy way to monitor signals coming back from tape to ensure that they are recording correctly. (22) FX TO CTRL ROOM - If you want to monitor only the FX send signal in your headphones or monitor speaker(s), press the FX TO CTRL switch. This mutes the main mix signal while routing the FX SEND output to the monitor(s). The EURORACK UB802 and UB502 do not feature this switch.
