FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
welcome to the team of BEHRINGER users, and thank you very much for expressing your confidence in us by purchasing the RX1602.
Writing this foreword for you gives me great pleasure, because it represents the culmination of many months of hard work delivered by our engineering team to achieve a very ambitious goal: to develop a robust rack mixer with outstanding sound quality, all utilitzing the
smallest amount of space possible. The task of designing our new RX1602 certainly meant a great deal of responsibility, which we assumed by focusing on you, the discerning user and musician. Meeting your expectations also meant a lot of work and night shifts. But it was fun, too. Developing a product usually brings a lot of people together, and what a great feeling it is when all who participated in such a project can be proud of what they’ve achieved.
It is our philosophy to share our enjoyment with you, because you are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team. With your highly competent suggestions for new products you’ve made a significant contribution to shaping our company and making it successful. In return, we guarantee you uncompromising quality as well as excellent technical and audio properties at an extremely reasonable price. All of this will enable you to give free rein to your creativity without being hampered by budget constraints.
We are often asked how we manage to produce such highquality devices at such unbelievably low prices. The answer is quite simple: it’s you, our customers! Many satisfied customers mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing terms for components, etc. Isn’t it only fair to pass this benefit on to you? Because we know that your success is our success too!
I would like to thank all of you who have made the RX1602 possible. You have all made your own personal contributions, from the developers to the many other employees at this company, and to you, the BEHRINGER user.
My friends, it’s been worth the effort!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer

1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! With the EURORACK PRO RX1602, you have purchased a multifarious “problem-solver” for signal distribution. This piece of equipment was developed for those among you with the highest expectations, who are in the business of professional recording, radio and TV broadcast studios, PA and home recording situations, etc. The RX1602’s extensive range of possibilities make it ideal for routing separate signals to a single stereo output (mixer), or for signal level adjustment of individual signals (level translator)—all these functions can be achieved by using the EURORACK PRO RX1602.
Future-oriented BEHRINGER technology
Our rack mixer’s technology is based on experience and insights spanning many years, delving into the fields of audio technology already used worldwide in countless studios as well as radio and TV applications.
To allow for the highest possible level of operational safety, we manufacture our equipment under the highest quality standards in the industry. Your RX1602 has been manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system.
Balanced inputs
The BEHRINGER RX1602 features electronically servobalanced inputs. The automatic servo function detects when unbalanced jacks are connected, and internally adjusts the signal level so that no level difference between input and output signals occurs (6 dB correction).
+The following user’s manual is intended to familiarize you with the unit’s control elements, so that you can master all the functions. After having thoroughly read the user’s manual, store it at a safe place for future reference.
