For the moment, just try and trace the signal path from the
microphone input to the FX send connector. Don’t be put off by
the huge range of possibilities; it’s easier than you think! If you
look at the overview of the controls at the same time, you’ll be
able to quickly familiarize yourself with your mixing console and
you’ll soon be making the most of all its many possibilities.
If you need to know more about specific issues, please visit

1.3 Before you get started

signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during
transit.

1.3.2 Initial operation

Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling
purposes and to avoid over-heating please do not place your
mixing console on high-temperature devices such as radiators
or power amps. The console is connected to the mains via the

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND
CONNECTORS
This chapter describes the various control elements of your
mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be
discussed in detail.

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTORS

2.1 Mono channels

2.1.1 Microphone and line inputs

Fig. 2.1: Connectors and controls of mic/line inputs
Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone input
via the XLR connector and also features a switchable +48V
phantom power supply for condenser microphones. Please note:
the EURORACK UB502 does not supply phantom power.
+
Each mono input also features a balanced line input on a 1/4"
connector. Unbalanced devices (mono jacks) can also be
connected to these inputs.
+
Use the GAIN control to adjust the input gain. This control
should always be turned fully counterclockwise whenever you
connect or disconnect a signal source to one of the inputs.

2.1.2 Equalizer

All mono input channels include a 3-band equalizer, except for
the UB502, which is equipped with a 2-band EQ. All bands provide
boost or cut of up to 15 dB. In the central position, the equalizer
is inactive.
Fig. 2.2: The equalizer of the mono input channels
The upper (HI) and the lower band (LO) are shelving filters
that increase or decrease all frequencies above or below their
cut-off frequency. The cut-off frequencies of the upper and
lower band are 12 kHz and 80 Hz respectively. The mid band
(UB802/UB1002/UB1202) is configured as a peak filter with a
center frequency of 2.5 kHz.
In addition, the mono channels (UB1002 and UB1202) are
equipped with a steep LO CUT filter (slope at 18 dB/oct., -3 dB
at 75 Hz) designed to eliminate unwanted low-frequency signal
components.
