6 EURORACK MX2642A 1. THE MANUAL Congratulations! In purchasing our EURORACK MX2642A you have acquired a mixer whose small size belies its incredible versatility and superlative audio performance. Your EURORACK is built to the same outstanding quality as our top-of-the range console, the BEHRINGER EURODESK MX9000.
7 EURORACK MX2642A 2 . EURORACK OVERVIEW The configuration is 26 into 4 into 2. This means that there are 26 inputs in total (8 mono and 4 stereo channels, 4 stereo line inputs, and an extra 2-track stereo input which can also be routed to the main mix.
8 EURORACK MX2642A 2. 3 PSU (Power Supply Unit) Any amplifier circuit is limited in its transient response by the available current. Every mixer has numerous line level operational amplifiers (op-amps) inside. When being driven hard, many desks begin to show signs of stress due to power supply limitations.
9 EURORACK MX2642A There is +15 dB of gain on every aux send. Such a high boost is usually only appropriate where the channel fader is set around -15 dB or lower. Here, an almost exclusively wet signal will be heard. In most consoles, such a wet mix requires the use of a pre-setting for the channel aux send, losing fader control.
10 EURORACK MX2642A 4. 3 Aux Sends These are the same as for mono channels (see 3.3). Note that a mono sum is taken from the stereo input. 4 .4 Routing The only difference here from the mono channel described in 3.4 is in the implementation of the BALANCE control.
11 EURORACK MX2642A 5.4 Inserts Insert points are useful for adding dynamic processing or equalization to a channel, the main mix or a group. Unlike reverbs etc., which are usually added to the dry signal, dynamic processing is normally applied across an entire signal.
12 EURORACK MX2642A Instrument Inputs The stereo line inputs may be used as extra instrument inputs, especially if your MIDI keyboard or rack supplies a pre-mixed stereo signal. When using the stereo line inputs as extra instrument inputs, you have access to the aux buses for effects processing.
13 EURORACK MX2642A 6. 5 2-Track Input and Output Input The 2-track input is on balanced 1/4" TRS jacks at +4 dBu, and is primarily for auditioning mix playback from tape. S46 routes this signal to the monitors. However, it can also be routed to the main mix via S44.
14 EURORACK MX2642A 7. CONNECTIONS 7. 1 Relocating the Connector Panel A moveable panel houses all connection sockets to the EURORACK, except that to headphones. The EURORACK comes supplied with this panel fixed to the rear of the unit, ready for flat-mounting the console.

16 EURORACK MX2642A 8. SETTING UP 8. 1 Selecting Inputs 1 ) Mono channels accept mic or line inputs. If you are using the mic input, make sure nothing is connected to the line input (and vice-versa). + The mic inputs are more sensitive than the line inputs.
17 EURORACK MX2642A 8. 6 Recording Levels When recording to digital, its a good idea to keep the recorders peak meters below 0 dB. Most (not all, esp. samplers) read 0 dB with some headroom left. This is because, unlike with analogue, the onset of digital distortion is as sudden as it is horrible.
