Im sure youre one of
those people who have
devoted themselves body
and soul to your chosen
area and no doubt this has
transformed you into an
expert in your field!
Well, for over 30 years,
my passion has been
music and electronics.
This not only led me to
establish BEHRINGER,
but also enabled me to
convey and share my
enthusiasm with my
employees.
During all the years Ive
been involved with studio
technology and end users,
I have developed a feel for the things that really count, such as
sound quality, reliability and ease of use. Whats more, I have always
had the desire to push the boundaries of technical possibilities to the
extreme.
It was precisely this motivation that prompted me to start work
on a new series of mixing consoles. Since our EURORACKs had
already set new standards world-wide, I knew the development
objectives behind the products bearing my initials had to be
especially ambitious.
Thus, the concept and design of the new UB mixing consoles
bear my signature. The design work, the entire circuit diagram
and PCB development, and even the mechanical concepts are
my own work. I carefully selected each individual component
with the aim of pushing the mixing consoles analog and digital
technologies to their limits.
My vision was to enable you, the user, to give free rein to your
true potential and creativity. The result is incredibly powerful mixing
consoles that offer intuitive operation. They cannot fail to impress
with their extremely flexible routing possibilities plus fantastic wealth
of functions. Innovative technologies, such as the completely new
IMP Invisible Mic Preamps, guarantee optimum sound quality.
And extraordinarily high-quality components provide unrivalled
reliability, even under extreme loads.
Your new UB mixing console is of high quality yet is simple to
use; youll soon appreciate that I, both personally and in my
capacity as musician and sound engineer, put you, the end user,
first and that these products were only possible because of the
passion and the attention to detail that went into them.
Thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by
purchasing the UB mixing console. I should also like to thank all
those who, with their personal commitment and passion, have
helped me realize this impressive series of mixing consoles.
Kindest regards,
Uli Behringer
1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! In purchasing the BEHRINGER EURORACK
you have acquired a mixer whose small size belies its incredible
versatility and audio performance.
The BEHRINGER EURORACK mixing console offers you
premium-quality microphone preamplifiers with optional phantom
power supply, balanced line inputs and the ability to connect
external effects devices. Because of its extensive and carefully
thought-out routing possibilities, your EURORACK lends itself
equally to both live and studio use.
IMP INVISIBLE MIC PREAMP
The microphone channels are fitted with BEHRINGERs brand
new high-end IMP INVISIBLE MIC PREAMPs that boast the
following features:
s130 dB dynamic range for an incredible amount of headroom
sA bandwidth ranging from below 10 Hz to over 200 kHz for
crystal-clear reproduction of even the finest nuances
sThe extremely low-noise and distortion-free circuitry gua-
rantees absolutely natural and transparent signal reproduction
sThey are perfectly matched to every conceivable micro-
phone with up to 60 dB gain and +48 volt phantom power
supply
sThey enable full utilisation of the greatly extended dynamic
range of your 24-bit/192 kHz HD recorder, thereby maintaining optimal audio quality
In addition, your BEHRINGER EURORACK offers an effects
processor equipped with 24-bit A/D and D/A converters. The
processor is fitted with the effect algorithms from our tried and
tested 19" multi-effects device, the VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P.
99 presets are available providing first-class room simulations,
delay and modulation effects, as well as compression, tube
distortion and many other effects, all with stunning audio quality.
The mixing consoles of the PRO series feature a state-of-the-art
integrated switch-mode power supply. One of the great advantages
is that (compared to conventional circuits) a switch-mode power
supply adapts to mains voltages between 100 and 240 volts
automatically. Furthermore, due to its much greater efficiency, it
consumes much less energy than a conventional power supply
unit.
CAUTION!
+ We should like to draw your attention to the fact that
extreme volumes may damage your hearing and/or
your headphones or loudspeakers. Turn the MAIN
MIX faders and phones control in the main section
fully down before you switch on the unit. Always be
careful to set the appropriate volume.
sSignal distribution: Collection of the signals on the
aux sends for effects processing and the monitor mix,
distribution on several recording tracks as well as power
amp(s), control room and 2-track outputs.
sMix: Setting the volume level/frequency distribution/
positioning of the individual signals in the stereo image,
level control of the total mix to match the recording devices/
crossover/power amplifier. All other mixer functions come
under this main discipline.
The control surface of BEHRINGER mixing consoles is optimized in such a way that these functions become easy to fulfil
while the signal path remains simple to follow.
The users manual is designed to give you both an overview of
the controls, as well as detailed information on how to use them.
In order to help you understand the links between the controls,
we have arranged them in groups according to their function. If
you need to know more about specific issues, please visit our
website at http://www.behringer.com, where youll find
explanations of e.g. effects and dynamics applications.
+ The block diagram supplied with the mixing console
gives you an overview of the connections between
the inputs and outputs, as well as the associated
switches and controls.
For the moment, just try and trace the signal path from the
microphone input to the aux send 1 connector. Dont be put off
by the huge range of possibilities; its easier than you think! If you
look at the overview of the controls at the same time, youll be
able to quickly familiarize yourself with your mixing console and
youll soon be making the most of all its many possibilities.
1.3 Before you get started
1.3.1 Shipment
Your mixing console was carefully packed in the factory to
guarantee safe transport. Nevertheless, we recommend that
you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any

Fig. 2.1: Connectors and controls of mic/line inputs
MIC
Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone input
via XLR as well as switchable phantom power (+48 volt) for
powering condenser microphones.
+ Please mute your monitor system before you
switch on phantom power. Otherwise potentially
damaging thumps will be sent to your speakers.
Please also note the instructions in chapter 5.5
Voltage supply, phantom power and fuse.
LINE IN
Each mono input also has a balanced line input on a 1/4" jack.
You can also connect unbalanced devices using mono jacks to
these inputs.
+ Please remember that you can use either the
microphone input or the line input of a channel, but
not both at the same time!
INSERT
Insert points enable the processing of a signal with dynamic
processors or equalizers. They are sourced pre-fader, pre-EQ
and pre-aux send. Detailed information on using insert points
can be found in chapter 5.3.
+ Unlike the UB2442FX-PRO, the UB1622FX-PRO,
UB1832FX-PRO and UB2222FX-PRO have their insert
points located on the rear of the console.
GAIN
Use the GAIN control to adjust the input gain. This control
should always be turned right down whenever you connect or
disconnect a source on one of the inputs. The GAIN control
governs both the microphone and the LINE input level. The MIC
graduation indicates the gain range (10 to 60 dB), while LINE
shows the input level (+10 to -40 dBu), ensuring optimum level
matching.
