TRIM
The controller works the same as the one for the mono channels.
However, the level control range is limited from +20 to -20 dBu
because the stereo channels only process line signals.
HIGH/LOW
The stereo-channel equalizer features 2 bands like the one used for the
mono channels.
MON/FX
The MON/FX buses of the stereo channels work like those of the mono channels.
Since both paths are mono, the signal of a stereo channel is initially mixed to a
summed mono signal before reaching the MON/FX bus.
BAL
The BAL(ANCE) control determines the levels of left and right input signals
relative to each other before both signals are then routed to the main stereo
mix bus. If a channel is operated in mono via the left line input, this control
has the same function as the PAN control used in the mono channels.
CLIP
The CLIP LEDs of the stereo channels light up when the input signal's level is too
high. In this case, reduce the preamplification with the TRIM controller until the
LED goes out.
Channel fader
As with the mono channels, the channel fader determines the level of the
channel strip for the stereo channels in the main mix.

2.3 Connector array of the main section

Fig.2.3: Connectors of the main section
MAIN OUT
The MAIN OUT connectors are balanced and laid out as XLR
connectors. Here the summed signal of the main mix has a level of
0 dBu. According to the way you want to use the mixer and which
equipment you have, following devices can be connected:
Live PA systems:
A stereo dynamics processor (optional), stereo equalizer (optional) and the
stereo power amplifier for full-range loudspeakers with passive crossovers.
If you wish to use multi-way loudspeaker systems without an integrated
crossover, you have to use an active crossover and several power amplifiers.
Often, limiters are already built into active crossovers (e.g. BEHRINGER SUPER-X
PRO CX2310 and ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496). Active crossovers are implemented
directly before the power amplifier, and they divide the frequency range into
several segments that are first amplified in the amplifiers and then passed on
to the corresponding loudspeakers.
Recording:
For mastering, using a stereo compressor such as the COMPOSER PRO-XL
MDX2600 can be recommended. Use it to custom-tailor the dynamic
characteristics of your signal to the dynamic range of the recording equipment
you are using. The signal is in this case passed on from the compressor into
the recorder.
CTRL OUT
The CTRL OUT connectors are used for controlling the summed signal
(effects mix and main mix) as well as for individual signals over studio monitor
speakers. By using the PHONES/CONTROL ROOM controller in the main section,
you can control the level of both outputs.
CD/TAPE IN
The CD/TAPE INs 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. 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 (e.g. cassette recorder, minidisk player, sound card etc.).
CD/TAPE OUT
These connections are laid out as RCA connectors and are wired parallel to
MAIN OUT. Connect the inputs of a computer sound card or a recorder here.
The output signal level is set up using the highly accurate MAIN MIX fader.
AUX SENDS
The FX connector routes the signal, which you have extracted from the individual
channels by using the FX controller; the MON plug does the same to the signal
that has been extracted by using the MON controller. Connect the input of
an external effects processor to the FX plug, with which you want to modify
the signal sum of the FX bus. Then, route the effects signal back to the mixer
over the AUX RETURN connectors. With the MON outputs, you can connect an
amplifier/headphones amplifier for the musicians to monitor.
