EURODESK MX2442A
2. EURODESK OVERVIEW
1. THE MANUAL
Thank you for expressing your confidence in us by purchasing the EURODESK MX2442A. Our first task in
writing this manual is to make you feel comfortable with the special terms that are used to describe your
EURODESK MX2442A and its proper use.
+
Reading this manual will make you aware of the many possibilities the EURODESK MX2442A
offers you. Please keep this manual safely for future reference.
Your BEHRINGER MX2442A was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging was designed to protect
the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its
contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.

If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the
shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be
granted. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.
1.1 Nomenclature
Most specialist subjects are not really all that difficult provided you understand the language used, and the
vocabulary of mixing is pretty straight-forward. Nevertheless, it should be clear what certain terms mean.
A slot in a recorder will always be referred to as a track, while that in a mixer will invariably be a channel.
A group will always refer to a sub-mix of channels. Similarly the term band will be mentioned only in conjunction
with frequency.
1.2 Structure
Working with complex systems like live or studio mixing consoles, it is impossible to deal with all the features
and possibilities at the same time. Therefore, we have divided the EURODESK manual into separate chapters
to make it easier to find any kind of information and tips. Sometimes you will find cross references where
subjects overlap.
You will, for example, find information about channel EQs in chapters 3.2 and 4.2 while the general use of
equalizers has, according to its importance, its own chapter.
1.3 The Separate View Sheet
On a separate sheet you will find drawings showing the front, the connector panel and the rear panel of your
EURODESK. The block diagram is shown, too. Always keep this sheet available while studying this manual.
All EURODESK functions will be numbered consistently throughout the manual, whether they be in the text or
in an illustration.
2. EURODESK OVERVIEW
2.1 Architecture
The MX2442A is a typical split console. As such, the inputs and outputs occupy separate areas of the board.
This makes it easier to visualize the signal path compared to an in-line design which uses combined input/
output channels. The main section on the right hand side handles all the outputs (as well as 4 stereo aux
returns and a 2-track tape input) while the input channels are located on the left.
