All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com EURODESK MX2442A EURODESK insert points are, of course, simultaneously inputs and outputs. For goodness sake, get them onto a patchbay, where they can appear as independent sockets, and do away with all these fiddly Y-connectors that always seem to be the first to get knotted in the flightcase. -
Page 14: Monitoring
This is fine for a MIDI suite with overdub booth, but for the bigger studio’s headphone network using a separate headphones distribution amplifier like the BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO HA4600 is recommended: This allows independent level and EQ-settings for four headphone mixes; a total of 12 headphones can be connected. -

Page 18: Setting Up
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com EURODESK MX2442A 8. SETTING UP 8.1 Selecting Inputs 1) Mono channels accept mic or line level inputs. If you are using the mic input, make sure nothing is connected to the line input (and vice-versa). Please note that mic inputs are many times more sensitive than line inputs! Do not connect mics with phantom power switched on. -

(You can always bounce tracks though the outboard EQ, freeing up the unit for the next task). Check out our BEHRINGER ULTRA-CURVE PRO DSP8024, which promises to be another price/performance buster. -
Page 20: Gain Optimization
(FX GAIN TOO HIGH), and the same goes for a high noise level (FX GAIN TOO LOW). Noisy FX (or synth) returns can be greatly improved by the addition of single-ended noise reduction between FX output and aux (or channel) returns. The BEHRINGER DENOISER SNR2000 is ideally suited for this purpose. -
Page 21: Modifications
10. MODIFICATIONS The following modifications require some knowledge in soldering. Only attempt that if you are experienced in using an iron on PCBs. Otherwise, refer to qualified personnel. After modification the BEHRINGER warranty becomes discretionary. Links should not be threaded into holes on the PCB. They should be soldered to the tinned areas around the holes, and bowed slightly upwards in between. -
