LEVEL
The LEVEL control determines the volume of the channel being sent to the
main mix.
+4/-10
The stereo inputs of the EURORACK have an input sensitivity switch which selects
between +4 dBu and -10 dBV. At -10 dBV (home-recording level), the input is
more sensitive (requires less level to drive it) than at +4 dBu (studio level).

FX SEND
The FX SEND connector outputs the signal you picked up from the individual
channels using the FX controls. You can connect this to the input of an external
effects device in order to process the FX bus' master signal. Once an effects mix is
created, the processed signal can then be routed from the effects device outputs
back into a stereo input.
◊
If the connected effects processor receives no input signal,
the FX SEND control is probably too low. This also goes for the built-in
effects processor.
◊
Adjust your external effects processor to 100% wet (effects signal
only), because the effects signal is added to the main mix along with
the "dry" channel signals.
◊
In this instance, the FX control of the channel being used as an effects
return should be turned fully counterclockwise, otherwise feedback
problems can occur!
PHONES/CONTROL ROOM OUT
The stereo PHONES connector (at the top of the connector panel) is where
headphones are connected. The unbalanced CONTROL ROOM OUT connectors
carry the summed effects and main mix signals as well as soloed channel signals.
The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control in the main section adjusts the level of both
headphones and main monitor outputs.
MAIN OUT
The MAIN OUT connectors are unbalanced mono connectors. The main mix
signal appears here at a level of 0 dBu. The MAIN MIX fader adjusts the volume of
these outputs. Depending on how you wish to use your mixer and which gear you
own, you can connect the following equipment:

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.
CD/TAPE INPUT
The CD/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. 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.).
TAPE OUTPUT
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.
