[. . . ] MX602A User's Manual Version 1. 3 December 2001 EURORACK ® www. behringer. com ENGLISH EURORACK MX602A SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside; refer servicing to qualified personnel. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure - voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. [. . . ] When the channel and master fader are set to unity gain the meters should read between -4 and +7 dB. Remember that there is 15 dB gain on both the channel as well as master fader. If a reasonable input level is selected, auditioning a single signal should result in a reading of around 0 dB on the main mix meters , provided that both channel and output level controls are set to unity gain (0 dB). MONO INPUT CHANNEL 7 EURORACK MX602A 4. 2 Equalizer The EQ is in principle identical to that on mono channels (see 3. 2), except that the EQ is stereo, of course!A stereo equalizer is generally preferable to using two mono equalizers when EQ-ing a stereo signal, as often discrepancies between left and right settings can occur. 4. 3 Aux send It is the same as for mono channels (see 3. 3). Note that a mono sum is taken from the stereo input. 4. 4 Volume control and panning/balancing The only difference here from the mono channel described in 3. 4 is in the implementation of the balance control . When a channel is run in stereo, this control determines the relative balance of the left and right channel signals being sent to the left and right main mix buses. For example, with the balance control turned fully clockwise, only the right portion of the channel's stereo signal will be added to the main mix. If a stereo channel is run in mono (only the left input connected), the balance control acts as a pan in the normal way. 5. MAIN SECTION 5. 1 Aux send This is on a 1/4" unbalanced jack at +4 dBu. No master aux send level pot is provided. However, you can use the input level control of your effects unit to match the output level from the EURORACK. If your effects unit does not have an input gain, then remember that every channel aux send has up to 15 dB gain, which should be more than enough to drive any effects unit. 5. 2 Stereo line input Aux return Your EURORACK MX602A is equipped with a stereo aux return . If only the left socket has a jack connected, the aux return operates in mono and is permanently assigned to the main mix. control determines the level of the aux return signal. It is automatically assigned to the main mix. 2-track in/output This unbalanced stereo line input incorporates a flexible routing system. When the switch "2TK TO MIX" is depressed, the input is assigned to the main mix, like the aux return. Use this configuration when you need to create extra line inputs for MIDI keyboards etc. depressed, the input is now assigned to the control room However, with "2TK TO CONTROL ROOM" output. This routing mode enables off-tape monitoring of a stereo recording to be effected at the flick of a switch. 5. 3 Metering Main mix level is displayed on a pair of accurate 4 segment bargraph peak meters indicate power on and +48 V DC phantom power present . Two further LEDs The main mix bargraph meters should average around 0 dB during loud passages. [. . . ] This also applies to defects caused by normal wear and tear, in particular, of faders, potentiometers, keys/buttons and similar parts. Damages/defects caused by the following conditions are not covered by this warranty: misuse, neglect or failure to operate the unit in compliance with the instructions given in BEHRINGER user or service manuals. connection or operation of the unit in any way that does not comply with the technical or safety regulations applicable in the country where the product is used. damages/defects caused by force majeure or any other condition that is beyond the control of BEHRINGER.
