EURORACK UB502/UB802/UB1002/UB1202
Installation 7
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.
Tape connectors2.3.3
TAPE INPUT
The TAPE 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.
Tape input/outputFig. 2.11:
Alternatively the line or tape output of a hi- amplier with source
selection switch could also be hooked up here, allowing you to
easily listen to additional sources.
TAPE OUTPUT
These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT and
carry the main mix signal (unbalanced). Connect the TAPE
OUTPUT to the inputs of your recording device. The output level
is adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader or rotary control
(UB802).
Signal assignment2.3.4
Assignment switches of the main sectionFig. 2.12:
TAPE 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.
TAPE TO CTRL ROOM (502: TAPE TO PHONES)
Press the TAPE 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.
If you are recording a signal via the TAPE OUTPUT +
and wish to listen to this simultaneously via the TAPE
INPUT, do not use the TAPE TO MIX switch. Doing this
would create a feedback loop, since the signal would
be routed, via the main mix, back to tape via the TAPE
OUTPUT. To monitor the TAPE INPUT, use the TAPE
TO CTRL ROOM switch to assign the tape signal to the
monitor(s) or headphones. This will avoid the tape signal
being routed to the TAPE OUTPUT.
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 R 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.
Phantom power and LED displays2.3.5
Phantom power and control LEDsFig. 2.13:
+48 V
The red +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.
Please do not connect microphones to the mixer (or the +
stagebox/wallbox) as long as the phantom power supply
is switched on. Connect the micro-phones before you
switch on the power supply. In addition, the monitor/PA
loudspeakers should be muted before you activate the
phantom power supply. After switching on, wait approx.
one minute in order to allow system stabilization.
POWER
The blue POWER LED indicates that the console is powered
on.
Level indicator
The high-precision 4-segment display accurately displays the
relevant signal level.
LEVEL SETTING: To correctly set the gains of the channels, rst
set the LEVEL controls of the input channels to their center posi-
tions (0 dB). Then use the GAIN controls to increase the input
amplication until signal peaks show 0 dB on the level meter.
When recording to digital recorders, the recorder’s peak meter
should not go into overload. While analog recorders can be
overloaded to some extent, creating only a certain amount of
distortion (which is common and often desirable), digital recorders
distort quickly when overloaded. In addition, digital distortion is
not only undesirable, but also renders your recording completely
useless.
The peak meters of your EURORACK display the level +
virtually independent of frequency. A recording level of
0 dB is recommended for all signal types.
Installation3.
Mains connection3.1
AC POWER IN
Connect the power supply to the 3-pin mains connector on the
rear of the console. Use the AC adapter supplied to connect the
console to the mains. The adapter complies with all applicable
safety standards.
Please use only the power supply unit provided with +
the console.
Never connect the EURORACK to the power supply unit +
while the latter is connected to the mains! First connect
the console to the power supply unit, then connect the
power supply unit to the mains.
Please note that both the power supply unit and the +
mixing console heat up considerably during operation.
This is completely normal.
