Introduction1.
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.
Before you get started1.1
Shipment1.1.1
The PRO MIXER was carefully packed at the assembly plant
to assure secure transport. Should the condition of the
cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken place,
please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical
indications of damage.
◊
Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us.
Please inform the dealer from whom you acquired
the unit immediately as well as the transportation
company from which you took delivery of the unit.
Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be
rendered invalid.
Initial operation1.1.2
Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient
ventilation, and never place the PRO MIXER on top of an
amplifier or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of
overheating.
For rack mounting, please use M6 metal nuts and bolts.
◊
Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please
make sure you have selected the correct voltage:
The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains
three triangular markings. Two of these triangles are
opposite one another. The voltage indicated adjacent to
these markings is the voltage to which your unit has been
set up, and can be altered by rotating the fuse compartment
by 180°. ATTENTION: This does not apply to export
models that were for example manufactured only for use
with 120 V!
◊
If you alter the unit’s voltage, you must change the
fuses accordingly. The correct value of the fuses
needed can be found in the chapter “SPECIFICATIONS”.
◊
Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate
rating without exception! The correct value of the fuses
needed can be found in the chapter “SPECIFICATIONS”.
Power is delivered via the cable enclosed with the unit. All
required safety precautions have been adhered to.
◊
Please make sure that the unit is grounded at all times.
For your own protection, you should never tamper
with the grounding of the cable or the unit itself.
Warranty1.1.3
Please take a few minutes and send us the completely filled
out warranty card within 14 days of the date of purchase.
You may also register online at www.behringer.com. The
serial number needed for the registration is located on the
rear of the unit. Failure to register your product may void
future warranty claims (see
{ 40 }.
The user’s manual1.2
This user’s manual has been written in such a way to enable
you an overview over the control elements of the unit
and offers at the same time detailed information about
possible applications. To facilitate quick lookups, control
elements have been described in groups depending on
their function. All control elements can easily be located
using the numerated illustrations attached to this manual.
Should you need detailed information about specific topics
not covered in this manual, please visit our website at
www.behringer.com.

Your PRO MIXER features a talk over function. It works very
simply: as soon as you talk into your mike while a track is
playing, the track’s volume is lowered. When talking to the
