EUROGRAND EG2080-RW/BK

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! With the EG2080 you have purchased a master­class digital piano which is on a par with its acoustic counterpart
in terms of sound and feel. The keyboard features 88 weighted
keys with hammer action, in combination with the RSM stereo
sound generator this gives you an unparalleled playing
experience. High-quality modulation and room effects as well as
a 2 x 40-Watt loudspeaker system produce a very natural and
spacious sound. The 2-track sequencer for recording and
practicing also includes a metronome and adds the finishing
touch to the overall concept.

1.1 Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

5. BASIC OPERATION

The following chapters describe some further basic functions
which you can use in addition to those already explained.

5.1 Using two sounds (layer mode)

Instead of a single sound you can also play two sounds
simultaneously on the EG2080. These sounds are layered and
can be played together over the entire keyboard.

1) In the SOUND SELECT section, simultaneously press the
buttons of the sounds to be layered.

The LEDs above the buttons light up to show that the associated
sounds have been selected.

In our example the sounds „GRAND PIANO 1“ and „STRINGS“
are layered.

 To quit layer mode, press any button in the SOUND

SELECT section. This will also select one single
sound again.

5.2 Changing the sound character

You can change the sound character by using a room and a
modulation effect as well as a brightness equalizer.

1) Keep pressing the REVERB button until the effect of your
choice has been selected.

The active effect is shown by an LED lighting up next to the
effect name.

 If none of the four LEDs lights up, the room effect

is disabled.

2) Keep the REVERB button pressed while adjusting the original
vs. effect signal ratio in the VALUE/SONG section using the

-/NO and +/YES buttons.

+

The display reads:
0x20: Effect intensity (0=no effect, 20=maximum effect)

3) If you want to restore the default settings, keep the REVERB
button pressed, then press -/NO and +/YES simultaneously.

5.2.1 Brightness equalizer

Use the brightness equalizer to change the sound character and
make it softer or more brilliant.

1) Change the sound character with the BRIGHTNESS control
as follows:

V Move the control to the left (SOFT) for a softer sound that

is darker in tone.

V Move the control to the right (BRIGHT) for a more brilliant

sound.

5.2.2 Room effects

The EG2080 provides room effects simulating four reverb rooms
of different sizes. When you select a sound, the EG2080 also
selects an appropriate effect. If required, however, you can
always select any other effect. The following reverb room
simulations are available:

ROOM: Simulates a small room.
HALL 1: Simulates a small concert hall.
HALL 2: Simulates a large concert hall.
STAGE: Simulates a typical stage ambience.

5.2.3 Modulation effects

The EG2080 provides a modulation effect featuring four different
types of effect. When you select a sound, the EG2080
automatically adds an appropriate effect for some of the sounds.
If required, however, you can always select any other effect.
The following modulation effects are available:

CHORUS: Chorus effect. „Widens“ the sound.
FLANGER: Time-shifted layering of sounds. Produces a

„floating“ sound.

TREMOLO: Rapid, constantly repeated changes in the

volume of the sound.

5.3 Using the pedals

The EG2080 is equipped with three foot pedals performing the
same functions as the pedals on an acoustic grand piano.
Normally, the pedals are used in accordance with the instructions
given in the music, where they are marked by special symbols.
It is useful to know how sound is produced on an acoustic piano
to better understand how the pedals work.

When you strike a key, a hammer hits several strings for each
note; the strings produce a tone with a defined pitch. When you
let go of the key, a damper felt falls down on the strings to stop
them from vibrating any longer. As a result, the tone decays
quickly. However, if the key is held down, the tone is sustained
for a while before it decays completely. In this case, the tone
decays only after a certain time.

This decay characteristic can be influenced using the three foot
pedals.

V Soft/piano pedal (left): The soft pedal produces a soft

and intimate sound. Use this pedal for particularly soft
musical passages (pianissimo).

On an acoustic piano this soft sound results from a
smaller distance between hammer and strings. On a
grand piano, however, the position of the hammer
changes, so that the hammer does not hit all strings.

1) Press the pedal to dampen all tones played afterwards with
the pedal down.

2) Let go of the pedal for normal playing.

 You can adjust the effect of the damper pedal (see

chapter 6.6.2).

V Sostenuto pedal (middle): Use the sostenuto pedal to

sustain individual tones. The notes already played – as
long as they have not yet decayed – will be sustained as
soon as you press the pedal. All notes played subsequently
will be dampened as described above. This allows you to
play and sustain a certain note using the pedal, while all
subsequent tones will be played in a staccato (detached)
manner.

When you sustain single notes on an acoustic piano using
the sostenuto pedal, the damper felts of the notes already
played do not dampen the strings when you release the
keys, but are held in their position.

1) Play the notes to be sustained.

2) Press the pedal to sustain the tones you just played.

3) Play the next notes. These are played with normal decay.

4) Release the pedal for normal playing.
V Damper/Forte pedal (right): The damper pedal allows

you to sustain the notes already played (and held) plus all
subsequent notes, without having to hold the keys down.
The damper pedal is often used to achieve a richer sound.
This is the pedal that is used most often. You can also
use it very subtly, for example, by holding it down only
half-way.

On the acoustic piano notes are sustained by keeping all
the damper felts in their raised position even after
releasing the keys. This allows the notes played to decay
quite naturally.

1) Play the notes to be sustained.

2) Press the pedal to sustain the notes you just played plus all
subsequent notes.

3) Release the pedal for normal playing.

5.4 Using headphones

The EG2080 is equipped with two headphone jacks located on
the underside of the playing console (front left). Headphones
are ideal for practising without disturbing others. The second
headphone jack allows another person, for example a music
teacher, to listen as well so that piano lessons can also be held
using headphones.

1) Use the MAIN VOLUME control to turn the volume down
(move the slide control to the left half of its control range).

2) Connect your headphones to a free headphone jack on the
underside of the playing console.

3) While playing adjust the volume as desired using the MAIN
VOLUME control.

4) If required, the SPEAKERS button allows you to switch the
built-in loudspeakers of the EG2080 on or off.

 The built-in loudspeakers of the EG2080 are

switched off as soon as you connect a pair of
headphones; the MUTE LED above the SPEAKERS
button lights up.

 When you disconnect your headphone from the

headphones jack, the built-in loudspeakers of the
EG2080 are switched on again and the MUTE LED
above the SPEAKERS button goes out.

6. ADVANCED OPERATION

The following chapters provide information on advanced
operating functions of the EG2080.

6.1 Using EDIT mode

Many advanced operating functions of the EG2080 are available
in EDIT mode. The following sections describe how to adjust
these functions in EDIT mode.

 Whenever you are prompted to enter EDIT mode,

please follow the step-by-step instructions given
below to select a function and adjust its
parameters.

1) Keep pressing the SELECT button in the TEMPO/EDIT MODE
section until the EDIT MODE LED lights up.

2) Scroll through the functions using the ef buttons, until the
appropriate function (e.g. E1) has been selected.

3) Use the -/NO- and +/YES buttons in the VALUE/SONG section
to adjust the value of your choice.

6.2 Transposition

The sounds produced by the EG2080 can be transposed up or
down by half-tones (key by key). This is useful, for example if
you want to play a piece in a key that is easier to play because
it has few or no accidentals at all (e.g. C major), but intend the
piece is to sound in a difficult key with lots of accidentals (e.g. D
flat major).

Example: D flat major has five flats (accidentals). In this key you
would have to play a lot of black keys. However, if you transpose
the sounds up by one half-tone, you can easily play the piece on
the white keys (C major).

It can be helpful to transpose the keyboard by an octave (12
half-tones), for example to play low notes in the middle register
where they can be played more comfortably.

1) Press and hold the TRANSPOSE button and use the -/NO
and +/YES buttons in the VALUE/SONG section to adjust the
transposition value of your choice in half-tone steps.

+

The display reads:

0: No transposition (default setting)
1x12:

Keyboard is transposed up by the number of half-tones
selected.

-1x-12:

Keyboard is transposed down by the number of half­tones selected.

2) Release the TRANSPOSE button when the desired value
has been selected.

6.1.1 Quick access to layer mode functions

Use the following operating procedure for direct access to the
layer mode menu pages.

1) Press and hold down the two sound buttons selected for
layer mode (e.g. GRAND PIANO 1 and STRINGS) and press
the SELECT button in the TEMPO/EDIT MODE section.

+

The EDIT MODE LED lights up and the EDIT page E3.1 is displayed.

 The LED above the TRANSPOSE button lights up

when the transposition feature is active, i.e. when
a value other than zero has been set.

 If a transposition interval has already been set,

you can enable/disable the transposition function
using the TRANSPOSE button.

6.3 Layer mode settings

In layer mode you can effect additional settings for advanced
playing with two sounds at the same time.

All sounds are numbered internally from 1 through 14. This order
of sounds determines which sound is addressed internally as
voice #1, voice #2, etc., which in turn is important for making
changes to the sounds selected.

In our example the two sounds GRAND PIANO 1 and STRINGS
are being used in layer mode. Internally, GRAND PIANO 1 is #1,
STRINGS is #11. The sound with the lower number is addressed
internally as voice #1 (here: GRAND PIANO 1), the sound with
the higher number as voice #2 (here: STRINGS).

6.5 Music sequencer

The EG2080 provides a built-in 2-track sequencer which allows
you to record and play back a piece of music . For each of the
two tracks you can select one or two sounds for recording. This
means that the music sequencer can play back up to four sounds
at the same time. While playing back a music piece you can also
play on the keyboard to produce complex performances with up
to six different sounds.

What is more, you can use the music sequencer for practising.
For example, you could record the left and right-hand parts of a
piece separately on the two tracks. During playback switch off
one track (=hand) and play the muted part yourself. Thus, you
can practice each part individually within its musical context.

6.6.4 Tunings

The EG2080 provides different tunings developed during the
past few centuries. The tuning used most often today is called
equal tuning and has been a characteristic element of the music
composed from the 19th century up to the present. However, for
some baroque pieces (e.g. by J. S. Bach) it can be interesting to
use an older tuning system.

In the history of music, the development of the individual tunings
can be traced back to the development of scales and polyphony
and the resulting adaptation of instruments and their tuning. Apart
from these historical reasons the limited tuning aids available in
former times played an important role for the practical
implementation of tunings.

The EG2080 provides the following tunings:

V Equal tuning (default setting)

Equal tuning divides one octave into twelve intervals of equal
size or spacing. Thus, each half-tone is detuned slightly to the
same extent, with the octave being the only perfect interval. This
has been the most common tuning since the 19th century, as it
makes it possible to play all twelve major/minor keys.

V Pure major/minor intonation

This tuning is based on the perfect tuning of the seven notes of
one scale (e.g. C major). Triads played one fifth above or below
are also perfect, since they use the notes of the basic key.
However, all other keys are not playable, since their frequency
relationships change depending on the basic note.

20

6. ADV ANCED OPERATION

EUROGRAND EG2080-RW/BK

This tuning can only be used for music that strictly follows a
classical cadence comprising tonic, dominant and subdominant.

V Pythagorean tuning

The Pythagorean tuning is based on perfect fifths. As a
consequence, all thirds are impure.

This tuning was used for early music up to the late Middle Ages.
The homophonic or two-part polyphonic music of the time did not
use any thirds, but only perfect unison, fourth, fifth and octave
intervals.

V Meantone tuning

Meantone tuning resulted from the change in the perception of
dissonant intervals during the Renaissance period and from the
beginnings of chromaticism and polyphony. Polyphony made the
third the most important interval in music. Therefore, meantone
tuning is based on perfect thirds rather than perfect fifths to
tune the twelve notes of a scale. However, this also means that
some scales are unplayable.

Today, the meantone tuning can still be used for works from the
early 16th and 17th centuries (e.g. G. F. Handel).

V Werckmeister/Kirnberger tuning

The Werkmeister and Kirnberger tunings result from first attempts
to realize a well-tempered tuning which – unlike the Pythagorean
and meantone tunings – allows for playing in all twelve keys.
The advantages of the Pythagorean and meantone tunings, i.e.
the slight detuning of some fifth intervals, have also been included
in the Werkmeister/Kirnberger tunings

Both tunings are interesting to use for works from the baroque
period (e.g. J. S. Bach). Werkmeister is a popular tuning for
organ works.

The following section describes how to change the tuning of the
EG2080.

 Please enter EDIT mode (see chapter 6.1) and select

the following function.

Function: E2.1
Value: 1x7
Description:

1: Equal tuning (default setting)
2: Pure major tuning
3: Pure minor tuning
4: Pythagorean tuning
5: Meantone tuning

7: Kirnberger tuning

With the exception of equal tuning, all tunings must be marked by
a basic note.

Here’s how to set the basic note:

Function: E2.2
Value: CxB
Description:

Altered notes are marked by dashes above or below the note
name. A dash above the note name raises a note, a dash below
the note lowers it.

The display shows:

c-: c sharp (C#)

e-: e flat (Eb)

6.6.5 Saving parameter settings

The EG2080 allows you to save the changes made to the
instrument’s settings, so that they won’t get lost when the unit is
powered down. When the save function is not active, all changes
made to the settings – except for the music sequencer data –
will be lost when you switch the piano off. When switched back
on, the EG2080 recalls the factory default settings.

The save function can be activated separately for the following
groups of functions: sounds, MIDI, tuning and damper pedal.

 ATTENTION: All saved parameters as well as the

music sequencer data will be lost during either
one of the following procedures.

1) Use the POWER switch to switch the instrument off (if not
already done).

2) Play and hold down the top C key on the keyboard, then
switch the EG2080 back on.

+

An alternative procedure is described below:

1) Use the POWER switch to switch the instrument off (if not
already done).

2) Press and hold down the TRACK 1 and TRACK 2 buttons,
then switch the EG2080 back on.

7. CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL
EQUIPMENT

The EG2080 provides a variety of connectors for connecting the
instrument to external devices.

 WARNING: Be sure that all devices are switched off

before you make any connection.

 WARNING: NEVER connect the LINE IN connectors of

the EG2080 to its LINE OUT connectors. This will
cause a feedback loop producing high volume
levels which could damage both the instrument
and your hearing!

7.1 Connecting external sound sources

The EG2080 is equipped with a stereo LINE IN connector for
connecting external sound sources to your digital piano. These
signals are reproduced through the internal loudspeakers and
connected headphones. If you wish to practise with musical
accompaniment, you can use this input to connect a CD player or
drum computer. In the same way, you could connect an external
synthesizer or sound module and use its sound generator with
your instrument. An additional MIDI connection enables you to
play an external sound generator from the keyboard of the EG2080
(see chapter 7.3.1).

The following diagram shows a wiring example comprising the
EG2080 and a CD player. You need one or two cables fitted with
1/4" or cinch plugs (see chapter 10.1.3). As an alternative, you
can also use a cinch or 1/4" cable with an appropriate adapter
plug.

+

3) Let go of the TRACK buttons after about 5 seconds.

22

7. CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT

Fig. 7.1: Connecting external signal sources

1) Connect the outputs of the CD player to the LINE IN
connectors of the EG2080.

 For a mono connection use the LINE IN L (MONO)

connector on the EG2080.

7.2 Connection to external amplifiers and
recording equipment

The EG2080 is equipped with two LINE OUT connectors for
connecting the digital piano to external keyboard amplifiers, P.A.
systems or home stereo systems. For performances in larger
rooms (e.g. stages, hall) it can be necessary to use external
amplifiers.

EUROGRAND EG2080-RW/BK

You can also use the outputs to connect recording equipment
(e.g. computer, cassette recorder, MD recorder). Unlike the built­in music sequencer, recording on external audio equipment gives
you the advantage that you can play back your music completely
independently of the EG2080. For example, you can give your
friends a recorded CD or MD or archive music pieces on any
recording medium.

V Use the MIDI IN to send playing data from other MIDI

controller keyboards or a music computer to the sound
generator of the EG2080.

V The MIDI THRU jacks passes on the MIDI data received via

the MIDI IN jack without modification. In combination with a
music computer you can thus integrate another keyboard
or sound module into the MIDI chain comprising EG2080
and music computer.

7.3.1 MIDI connection to other sound modules

You can use the EG2080 to control external sound modules via
MIDI. This allows you to use the keyboard and pedals of the
digital piano to control the sound generators of other synthesizers
or sound modules not equipped with a keyboard. When you also
connect the audio signal of the external sound module to the
EG2080, as described in chapter 7.1, all sounds played in addition
to the sounds of the EG2080 can be heard through the
loudspeakers of the digital piano.

The following illustration shows a set-up comprising the EG2080
and an external sound module.

Fig. 7.2: Connecting amplifiers and recording equipment

1) Connect the LINE OUT jacks to the inputs of an external
amplifier.

 For a mono connection use the LINE OUT L (MONO)

connector on the EG2080.

2) Connect the LINE OUT cinch jacks to the inputs of an external
recording device.

 ATTENTION: Be sure to switch the EG2080 on,

BEFORE you switch on the external amplifier, so as
to avoid switch-on thumps being amplified. Such
signals could damage the amplifier and the
loudspeakers. Switch off the equipment in reverse
order.

7.3 MIDI functions

MIDI is an interface and protocol for transmitting of playing data
to other MIDI equipment. The most important playing data are
pitch and length of notes, key velocity and channel volume,
program changes and various controller data generated, for
example, by controllers such as the pedals.

The MIDI interface does not transmit electrical audio signals but
control data only . The MIDI protocol provides for the transmission
of data on 16 independent channels. Playing data are always
channel-specific data.

The EG2080 is equipped with three MIDI jacks for connecting
additional MIDI sound modules or software/hardware
sequencers:

V Use the MIDI OUT to connect additional synthesizers or a

music computer receiving MIDI data from the EG2080.

Fig. 7.3: Controlling external MIDI sound modules

1) Connect the MIDI OUT jack of the EG2080 to the MIDI IN jack
of the external sound module.

2) Be sure to set the MIDI transmit/receive channels of both
instruments to the same number (see chapter 7.3.3).

3) Connect the audio outputs of the sound module to the LINE
IN jacks of the EG2080, if you want to play back the sounds
of the external device through the digital piano loudspeakers.

7.3.2 MIDI connection to a music computer loaded
with sequencing software

You can operate the EG2080 in combination with a sequencing
program such as Cubase® or Logic®. Sequencing software gives
you a wealth of powerful functions to record and process MIDI
data. For example, you can record serveral tracks to create
complex music pieces. Additional options are the production/
printing of sheet music or playback of music pieces. What is
more, you can transfer the data of the built-in music sequencer
to your computer for permanent archiving.

The following illustration shows a set-up comprising the EG2080
and a music computer. The connection of an external sound
module is optional.

7. CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT

23

EUROGRAND EG2080-RW/BK

 Demo song and music sequencer data are not

transmitted via the MIDI output. However, you can
transmit a music piece recorded with the built-in
music sequencer using the MIDI dump feature (see
„Sending music sequencer data“ below).

V Setting the MIDI receive channel

Use this function to set the receive channel on which the EG2080
is to receive MIDI data. MIDI devices must transmit and receive on
the same MIDI channels to ensure successful MIDI
communication. Select the default setting ALL for proper operation
in combination with a music computer.

Function: E7.2
Value: All, 1-2, 1x16
Description:

All: Simultaneous multi-timbral reception of MIDI data on all

16 MIDI channels. (Default setting)

1-2: Reception of MIDI data on channels 1 and 2
1x16: Reception of MIDI data on the specified MIDI channel

 The multi-timbral reception of MIDI data allows you

to use the EG2080 in combination with a sequencing
program as a sound generator for multi-track
recordings (see chapter 7.3.2).

Fig. 7.4: MIDI set-up including a sequnencer and external

sound module

1) Connect the MIDI OUT jack of the EG2080 to the MIDI IN jack
of a MIDI sound card.

2) Connect the MIDI IN jack of the EG2080 to the MIDI OUT jack
of the sound card.

3) Connect the MIDI IN jack of the sound module to the MIDI
THRU jack of the EG2080.

4) Connect the audio outputs of the sound module to the LINE
IN jacks of the EG2080, if you want to play back the sounds
of the external device through the digital piano loudspeakers.

7.3.3 MIDI settings

The EG2080 provides eight different function to determine how
the instrument processes MIDI information.

 Please enter EDIT mode (see chapter 6.1) and select

the following function.

V Setting the MIDI transmit channel

Use this function to set the transmit channel on which the EG2080
is to sent MIDI data. MIDI devices must send and receive on the
same MIDI channels to ensure successful MIDI communication.

Function: E7.1
Value: 1x16, Off
Description:

1x16: The EG2080 transmits MIDI data on the specified MIDI

channel. (Default setting: 1)

Off: The EG2080 transmits no MIDI data

 In layer mode voice #1 transmits MIDI data on the

specified MIDI channel, while voice #2 transmits
on the next higher channel.

V Enable/disable sound generator (Local on/off)

This function allows you to determine whether the built-in sound
generator directly plays the notes you play on the keyboard or
whether it only responds to MIDI note information received via
the MIDI IN jack. The latter setting is quite useful, for example, in
sequencer mode. In a closed MIDI chain the looping through of
MIDI signals could otherwise lead to double sounds, i.e. when
you hit a key on the keyboard, the EG2080 plays the note directly
only to play it again shortly after, when the MIDI commands sent
to the sequencer come back via the MIDI IN of the EG2080. When
the EG2080 is set to Local Off, the MIDI data are only sent to the
sequencer. The notes are played only once when the MIDI signals
come back from the sequencer.

Function: E7.3
Value: On, Off
Description:

On: Sound generator responds to keyboard and MIDI notes

(default setting)

Off: Sound generator does not respond to the keyboard but

to MIDI notes only

V Accept/ignore program changes

Use this function to determine how the EG2080 responds to MIDI
program change commands. These commands are used, for
example, to select sounds of the EG2080 using MIDI commands
sent from a sequencing program. Conversely, program change
commands can be sent via the MIDI output of the EG2080
whenever you select a sound in the SOUND SELECT section
(see chapter 10.2).

Function: E7.4
Value: On, Off
Description:

On: Program change commands are sent and received

(default setting)

Off: Program change commands are neither sent nor

received

24

7. CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT

V Accept/ignore MIDI controller information

Use this function to determine how the EG2080 responds to MIDI
controller data. MIDI uses a variety of controller informaiton to
control sound changes (e.g. pedal status, volume, effect
intensity).

Function: E7.5
Value: On, Off
Description:

On: Controller data are sent and received (default setting)
Off: Controller data are neither sent nor received

 The EG2080 only responds to the commands listed

in the MIDI implementation chart if controller data
are enabled (see chapter 10.5).

V MIDI transposition

This function determines whether outgoing MIDI data are
transposed independently of the built-in sound generator. This
can be useful to play the sounds of an external sound module
whose sound generator is controlled from the keyboard of the
EG2080 in a different pitch than the internal sounds of the
EG2080.

Function: E7.6
Value: -12x12
Description:

0: No transposition of the pitch at the MIDI output (default

setting)

1x12: Pitch is transposed up by the number of half-tones

selected

-1x-12:
Pitch is transposed down by the number of half-tones

selected

 This setting has no effect on the sound generator

of the EG2080!

EUROGRAND EG2080-RW/BK

 You can send the data back to the EG2080 at a later

date. To do this, use the MIDI IN jack to connect the
EG2080 to the device that received the data before.
As soon as you start the transmission from the
MIDI sequencer, the EG2080 will automatically
receive the data. Make sure that neither DEMO,
EDIT or music sequencer mode is active!

V Sending music sequencer data

Use this function to send music sequencer data via the MIDI
output of the EG2080. This allows you to archive recorded music
pieces on your music computer or hardware MIDI sequencer.
This type of transmission is only for system-exclusive data
packages (MIDI dump), but not for MIDI playing data.

EUROGRAND EG2080-RW/BK

10. APPENDIX

10.1 Cables

Below you will find an overview of all cables you need to connect your digital piano. The cables are not supplied with the piano.
Depending on the intended use, adapter cables will be necessary to interface the various connectors. You can use adapter cables

or plugs (e.g. 1/4" to cinch). Cable adapters are better than adapter plugs, as the latter may affect the signal quality due to insufficient
contact of the plugs with each other.

10.1.1 Unbalanced 1/4" cable

Unbalanced 1/4" cables are equipped with a 1/4" TS plugs at each end. They are used to connect external keyboard amps and
devices with 1/4" outputs (e.g. synthesizers, drum computers) to the EG2080.

Fig. 10.1: Unbalanced 1/4" cable with 1/4" TS plugs

10.1.2 RCA cables

RCA cables are often used for hi-fi applications to connect CD players, MD recorders and other devices to home stereo systems.
You will need this type of cable to connect the EG2080 to hi-fi recording equipment. Usually, these cables are supplied in pairs to form
one stereo cable. The plugs are in most cases red (right) and white (left). Make sure that the wiring between recording device and
EG2080 follows this color code, so as not to mix up the left/right signals.

Fig. 10.2: Hi-fi RCA cable

10.1.3 1/4" to RCA cable

1/4" to RCA cables are required for connecting a hi-fi playback device (e.g. CD player) to the EG2080. As an alternative, you can also
use an unbalanced 1/4" cable with an appropriate RCA adapter.

Fig. 10.3: 1/4" to RCA cable

10.1.4 MIDI cables

MIDI cables are required for connecting MIDI equipment. These cables have a 5-pin DIN plug at each end. Be sure to use cables
marked as MIDI cables (wiring as shown), since there are also similar cables with a different wiring available for hi-fi equipment. MIDI
cable lengths should be as short as possible. Avoid cable lengths exceeding 10 m, as these could lead to errors during the
transmission of signals.

BEHRINGER Japan) warrants the mechanical and electronic
components of this product to be free of defects in material and
workmanship for a period of one (1) year* from the original date
of purchase, in accordance with the warranty regulations
described below. If the product shows any defects within the
specified warranty period that are not excluded from this
warranty as described under § 5, BEHRINGER shall, at its
discretion, either replace or repair the product using suitable
new or reconditioned parts. In the case that other parts are used
which constitute an improvement, BEHRINGER may, at its
discretion, charge the customer for the additional cost of these
parts.

2. If the warranty claim proves to be justified, the product will be
returned to the user freight prepaid.

3. Warranty claims other than those indicated above are expressly
excluded.

§ 4 RETURN AUTHORIZATION NUMBER

1. To obtain warranty service, the buyer (or his authorized dealer)
must call BEHRINGER (see enclosed list) during normal business
hours BEFORE returning the product. All inquiries must be
accompanied by a description of the problem. BEHRINGER will
then issue a return authorization number.

2. Subsequently, the product must be returned in its original
shipping carton, together with the return authorization number to
the address indicated by BEHRINGER.

3. Shipments without freight prepaid will not be accepted.

§ 5 WARRANTY REGULATIONS

1. Warranty services will be furnished only if the product is
accompanied by a copy of the original retail dealer’s invoice.
Any product deemed eligible for repair or replacement under the
terms of this warranty will be repaired or replaced.

2. If the product needs to be modified or adapted in order to
comply with applicable technical or safety standards on a national
or local level, in any country which is not the country for which
the product was originally developed and manufactured, this
modification/adaptation shall not be considered a defect in
materials or workmanship. The warranty does not cover any
such modification/adaptation, irrespective of whether it was
carried out properly or not. Under the terms of this warranty,
BEHRINGER shall not be held responsible for any cost resulting
from such a modification/adaptation.

3. Free inspections and maintenance/repair work are expressly
excluded from this warranty, in particular, if caused by improper
handling of the product by the user. This also applies to defects
caused by normal wear and tear, in particular, of faders,
crossfaders, potentiometers, keys/buttons, tubes, guitar strings,
illuminants and similar parts.

4. Damages/defects caused by the following conditions are not
covered by this warranty:

V improper handling, neglect or failure to operate the unit in

compliance with the instructions given in BEHRINGER user
or service manuals.

V 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.

V damages/defects caused by force majeure or any other

condition that is beyond the control of BEHRINGER.

5. Any repair or opening of the unit carried out by unauthorized
personnel (user included) will void the warranty.

6. If an inspection of the product by BEHRINGER shows that the
defect in question is not covered by the warranty, the inspection
costs are payable by the customer.

7. Products which do not meet the terms of this warranty will be
repaired exclusively at the buyer’s expense. BEHRINGER will
inform the buyer of any such circumstance. If the buyer fails to
submit a written repair order within 6 weeks after notification,
BEHRINGER will return the unit C.O.D. with a separate invoice
for freight and packing. Such costs will also be invoiced
separately when the buyer has sent in a written repair order.

§ 6 WARRANTY TRANSFERABILITY

This warranty is extended exclusively to the original buyer
(customer of retail dealer) and is not transferable to anyone
who may subsequently purchase this product. No other person
(retail dealer, etc.) shall be entitled to give any warranty promise
on behalf of BEHRINGER.

§ 7 CLAIM FOR DAMAGES

Failure of BEHRINGER to provide proper warranty service shall
not entitle the buyer to claim (consequential) damages. In no
event shall the liability of BEHRINGER exceed the invoiced value
of the product.
