BEHRINGER EURODESK MX9000, while a large external power supply ensures low noise and superior transient response at all times. Insert points and direct outputs are also provided, giving “big console” functionality to the mono input channels. -
Page 8: Psu (Power Supply Unit)
EURORACK MX2642A 2.3 PSU (Power Supply Unit) Any amplifier circuit is limited in its transient response by the available current. Every mixer has numerous line level operational amplifiers (op-amps) inside. When being driven hard, many desks begin to show signs of stress due to power supply limitations. -
Page 9: Routing, Fading And Muting
EURORACK MX2642A There is +15 dB of gain on every aux send. Such a high boost is usually only appropriate where the channel fader is set around -15 dB or lower. Here, an almost exclusively “wet” signal will be heard. In most consoles, such a wet mix requires the use of a pre-setting for the channel aux send, losing fader control. -

MAIN MIX switch (S35). Rather it should be brought back on a mono channel (or via e.g. a BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882) so that it can be panned. -
Page 11: Inserts
If you want to insert a dynamics processor post-EQ, the direct output should be used as a send, return being effected though another desk channel, or possibly via a separate line mixer (such as the BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882), patched into e.g. the 2-track or any other suitable stereo return channel. -

EURORACK or the BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882. With the LEVEL control (P45) fully clockwise, your 2-track input will be matched to the semi-professional level -10 dBV. For higher output recording sources (eg. +4 dBu) turn the level of P45 down. -

EURORACK MX2642A 7. CONNECTIONS 7.1 Relocating the Connector Panel A moveable panel houses all connection sockets to the EURORACK, except that to headphones. The EURORACK comes supplied with this panel fixed to the rear of the unit, ready for flat-mounting the console. If you want to rack mount your EURORACK, you will probably want to re-locate the connector panel to a more convenient site on the underside of the chassis. - Page 15 EURORACK MX2642A Fig. 7.1: Different plug types Fig. 7.2: Headphones connector / insert send & return connector 7.

Page 16: Setting Up
EURORACK MX2642A 8. SETTING UP 8.1 Selecting Inputs 1) Mono channels accept mic or line inputs. If you are using the mic input, make sure nothing is connected to the line input (and vice-versa). The mic inputs are more sensitive than the line inputs. Do not connect mics with phantom power switched on. -
