EURODESK SX4882 Main equalizer Fig. 3.4: Aux sends For almost all FX SEND purposes, you will want auxes to be post fader, so that when a fader level is adjusted, any reverb send from that channel follows the fader. Otherwise, when the fader is pulled down, the reverb Fig. -

EURODESK SX4882 Fig. 3.6: B-channel Inserts Insert points are useful for adding dynamic processing or equal- ization to a channel, subgroup or the mix. Unlike reverbs, etc., which are usually added to the dry signal, dynamic processing is normally applied across an entire signal. Here, an aux send would be inappropriate. -

Q’s actually occurs in the audible spectrum, below 16 If you’re really serious about hum levels, you could run balanced to 18 kHz. For example if the BEHRINGER EQ is boosted by +15 lines wherever appropriate. The earth wiring scheme would be the dB at 20 kHz, the amount of boost at 10 kHz will be 3 dB. -

EURODESK SX4882 for some pots, e.g. master aux sends, is unity gain. However, some settings, such as selecting PRE or POST for channel aux sends and whether TAPE or MIC/LINE is flipped onto B-channel etc. will depend on the operating environment, whether in a MIDI or A/V suite, 24-track studio or live venue, or even just on the engineer’s preferred way of working. -
