PHONES/CONTROL ROOM
The stereo PHONES jack (at the top of the connector panel) is where you
connect headphones. The unbalanced CONTROL ROOM OUT jacks carry the
summed effects and main mix signals, as well as soloed channel signals.
The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control adjusts the level of both headphones and
main monitor outputs. The UB502 is not equipped with control room outputs.

MAIN MIX

The MAIN OUT connectors are unbalanced mono jacks. The main mix signal
appears here at a level of 0 dBu. The MAIN MIX fader adjusts the volume of these
outputs. The EURORACK UB802 and UB502 mixing consoles feature a rotary
control for this purpose.
2.3.3 Tape connectors
TAPE INPUT
The TAPE INPUTs are used to bring an external signal source (e.g. CD player,
tape deck, etc.) into the console. They can also be used as a standard stereo line
input, so the output of a second EURORACK or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO MX882
can be connected.
Fig. 2.11: Tape input/output
Alternatively the line or tape output of a hi-fi amplifier with source selection
switch could also be hooked up here, allowing you to easily listen to
additional sources.
TAPE OUTPUT
These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT and carry the main mix
signal (unbalanced). Connect the TAPE OUTPUT to the inputs of your recording
device. The output level is adjusted via the high-precision MAIN MIX fader or
rotary control (UB802).
2.3.4 Signal assignment
Fig. 2.12: Assignment switches of the main section
TAPE TO MIX
When the TAPE TO MIX switch is depressed, the 2-track input is assigned to the
main mix providing an additional input for tape machines, MIDI instruments or
other signal sources that do not require any processing.
TAPE TO CTRL ROOM (502: TAPE TO PHONES)
Press the TAPE TO CTRL ROOM/PHONES switch if you want to monitor the 2-track
input via the CTRL ROOM OUT. This provides an easy way to monitor signals
coming back from tape to ensure that they are recording correctly.
◊
If you are recording a signal via the TAPE OUTPUT and wish to listen
to this simultaneously via the TAPE INPUT, do not use the TAPE TO
MIX switch. Doing this would create a feedback loop, since the signal
would be routed, via the main mix, back to tape via the TAPE OUTPUT.
To monitor the TAPE INPUT, use the TAPE TO CTRL ROOM switch to assign
the tape signal to the monitor(s) or headphones. This will avoid the
tape signal being routed to the TAPE OUTPUT.
FX TO CTRL ROOM
If you want to monitor only the FX send signal in your headphones or monitor
speaker(s), press the FX TO CTRL R switch. This mutes the main mix signal while
routing the FX SEND output to the monitor(s). The EURORACK UB802 and UB502
do not feature this switch.
