FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
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,
Ihave 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.
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.

1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! With the UBB1002 you have purchased a
state-of-the-art 10-channel mixing console that sets new
standards. Our prime goal when developing the UBB1002 was
to design a console that can be used for a great variety of
applications. And to give you maximum flexibility, you can operate
the UBB1002 both from the mains and from batteries.
In combination with its comprehensive range of features and
pro-level connections, the UBB1002 will be your perfect tool for
any kind of application: broadcasting, video dubbing or giving the
sound of your band its finishing touch.
1.1 Before you begin
Your EURORACK UBB1002 was carefully packed in the factory
and the packaging is designed to protect the unit from rough
handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully
examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical
damage, which may have occurred during transit.
+ If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to
BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping
company immediately, otherwise claims for damage
or replacement may not be granted. Shipping claims
must be made by the consignee.
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling
and please do not place the UBB1002 on high-temperature
devices such as radiators, etc. to avoid overheating.
Kindest regards,
Uli Behringer

There are two options for operating the UBB1002: When using
mains power, make sure the console is switched off before
you connect it to the power supply. Then, connect it to the mains
and switch the UBB1002 on, using switch
Please note that the console and its power supply will get warm
during operation, which is completely normal. For battery
operation, youll only need two commercial 9-V batteries of the
6LR61 type. Insert the batteries in the battery compartment on
the bottom side of the unit. To use the phantom power supply,
please insert another battery in the separate phantom power
section of the battery compartment. Your UBB1002 operates
about 4 hours from high-grade alkaline batteries (see
chapter 3).
+ When the unit is not in use or operates from mains
power, please remove the batteries!

EURORACK UBB1002
1.3 Control elements
1.3.1 Interface panel
Use this balanced XLR jack to connect a microphone to the
UBB1002 (applies to channels 1 through 7/8).
+The phantom power required for condenser mics
can be activated with switch
in battery-operated mode the phantom power
provided is only +18 V!
Channels 1 and 2 feature an additional LINE input on a
balanced 1/4" jack.
The INSERT jack allows you to insert, for example, a
compressor or equalizer in the mono channels.
These are the two balanced LINE inputs on 1/4" jacks for
the left and right sides of the stereo channels, which can
be used in parallel to the microphone inputs.
Use the TAPE OUT jacks to connect, for example, a tape
deck for recording applications.
The TAPE IN jacks (on stereo RCA and 1/4" jacks) allow
for the connection of play-back devices such as CD players,
etc. Use either the RCA or the 1/4" jacks.
Use the PHONES jack to connect a commercially available
pair of headphones.
These are the balanced 1/4" jack MAIN OUTPUTS of your
UBB1002 that can be used to drive, e.g. a power amplifier.
The MON SEND connector provides the monitor signal of
your UBB1002, for example, to control a monitor amplifier
or active monitor speaker.
Connect the FX SEND connector to the input of an external
effects device.
+ The UBB1002 has no dedicated FX Return
connectors. However, you can connect the outputs
of an external effects device to the 1/4" jack inputs
of the stereo channels or channels 9/10. In this case,
the stereo channels FX control must be set to -oo
to avoid any feedback problems.
1.3.2 Front panel
The mono channels 1 and 2 of your UBB1002 feature the
same control elements. Therefore, the following description of
channel 1 also applies to channel 2.
The GAIN MIC control determines the channels input gain,
both for a microphone connected via the XLR jack and for
other signal sources connected to the 1/4" jack. Adjust the
signal gain so that the Clip LED below the control lights up
during peak signal only, but never permanently. In battery-
operated mode the Clip LED is switched off.
Use the PAN control to adjust the signals position on the
stereo basis.
Your UBB1002 comes with a 3-band equalizer: the HI
control governs the high frequency range, the MID control
can be used to boost/cut the midrange frequencies, and
the LOW control allows you to raise or lower the gain of
the bass range.
The CHANNEL fader adjusts the volume of the
corresponding channel.
Use the MON control to determine the channel volume sent
to the monitor mix bus. When set fully to the left, the channel
volume in the monitor mix is zero.
The FX control adjusts the effects volume for the
corresponding channel.
. Please note that
The stereo channels 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 differ from channels
1 and 2 not only with regard to the connectors provided. They
also have two GAIN controls, i.e. you can connect a
microphone and a stereo line signal at the same time!
+ When you connect a microphone to a stereo channel
on the UBB1002, the input gain is governed by the
GAIN MIC control!
The GAIN LINE control is used to adjust the line input gain.
Here, too, the signal can be monitored visually with the Clip
LED.
The BAL control performs two functions: When you connect
a microphone via the XLR connector, or another signal
source via the L/MONO jack, the BAL control determines
the signal position on the stereo basis. When both 1/4" jack
inputs (L & R) are used, the BAL control adjusts the volume
balance of the two sources connected.
Except for the GAIN MIC control and a different set of
connectors, the channels 9/10 feature the same control elements
as the stereo channels. See
1.3.3 Main section
The LEVEL DISPLAY reads the output level of your
UBB1002. Make sure that the two Clip LEDs wont light up.
Use this switch to activate the phantom power required
for condenser microphones. In battery-operated mode the
phantom power provided is only +18 V!
The MON SEND control adjusts the volume level of the
monitor signal provided at connector .
Use the MASTER fader to set the overall volume level of
your UBB1002.
The FX SEND control allows you to adjust the level that is
sent to an external effects device via connector . Thus,
you can drive all types of effects devices without any risk
of distortion.
The PHONES control governs the headphones volume.
Connect the enclosed power supply to the AC POWER IN
jack.
Use the POWER ON switch to switch on your UBB1002,
which is indicated by the LED below the LEVEL DISPLAY
.

card filled out completely, and return it within 14 days after
