10
Use the POWER switch to activate your ULTRA-DYNE PRO.
11
AC POWER CONNECTION. Use only the included AC cable to connect the unit to your AC power
supply. Please also ensure that your AC power socket has a ground. This ground conductor must NOT
be disabled to prevent hum pick-up. If you experience AC hum problems, use a DI box such as the
BEHRINGER ULTRA-DI to preserve the protective function.
12
ANALOG INPUTS. The ULTRA-DYNE PRO has balanced XLR and jack connector inputs designed for
maximum levels of +22 dBu. Microphone signals thus require pre-amplification, e.g. via a mixer.
13
ANALOG OUTPUTS. The analog outputs of the ULTRA-DYNE PRO have also been realized as bal-
anced XLR and jack connectors. A maximum output level of +16 dBu is available at the internal digital
maximum (DIGIMAX).
14
AES/EBU INPUTS (optional). An optionally available female XLR digital interface can be installed here.
15
AES/EBU OUTPUTS (optional). The optional male XLR digital interface output can be installed here.
The AES/EBU option transfers 24-bit data words at 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz.
16
MIDI IN, OUT and THRU. These connectors permit the MIDI remote control of the ULTRA-DYNE PRO.
17
SERIAL NUMBER. Please take the time to have the warranty card filled out completely by your specialized
dealer, and return it within 14 days after the date of purchase, so as to be entitled to benefit from our
extended warranty. You may also use our online registration option available on the Internet at
www.behringer.com.

2. OPERATION

2.1 The ULTRA-DYNE PRO operating concept

The complex nature of the parameter settings required the development of a new operating concept for the
ULTRA-DYNE PRO. This permits quick, simple editing of the key parameters, as well as the fine optimization
of each of the individual parameters to suit the program material.
The operation of the ULTRA-DYNE PRO can be broken down into four different levels:
1. The programming level, with the selection and editing of presets.
2. The editing level, which permits the convenient optimization of nearly all available parameters.
3. The METER menu, which in addition to its graphical display of levels also permits editing.
4. The SETUP menu, which provides access to all of the global and band-specific parameters for the six
frequency bands on several text pages.

2.1.1 The program level

The ULTRA-DYNE PRO has over 100 program memory locations, some of which contain factory-preset pro-
grams. These programs contain a large number of basic settings to cover a wide variety of applications. These
programs can be called up very quickly and generally provide good results in practice. Of course, user-defined
settings can be saved as required and recalled at a later time.

2.1.2 The editing level

Use the editing level to modify the preset programs to suit the program material. The editing window contains
eight faders which can be used to optimize these programs. Please note that the faders do not represent
absolute levels, but parameter changes relative to the presets, with the adjustment limited to a suitable range.
These limits only apply to the factory presets and to programs based on the preset programs.

2.1.3 The meter level

The input and output levels of the six individual bands is displayed in the meter level. It also permits the editing
of parameters while monitoring the effects of the changes on the meters.
