EURODESK SX4882 EURODESK overview 4 Introduction 1. The manual 1.1 Nomenclature 1.1.1 Most specialist subjects are not really all that difcult provided you understand the language used, and the vocabulary of mixing is pretty straightforward.

EURODESK SX4882 Master panel 11 If you are using the STUDIO output to drive a pair of + monitors actually in the studio, do not ever leave P82 turned up during a take.
