Please take the time and ask your dealer to fill in the warranty card. Then return it within 14 days after

the date of purchase. Otherwise, you will lose your extended warranty rights. Please check that the

series number on the unit is the same as the one indicated in the warranty card.
Before you connect the unit you should check that the voltage indicator on the voltage selector matches

your local line voltage. When you need to replace the fuse, please insert a fuse of the same type and

rating.

The MAGICIAN is connected to the mains via an IEC power connector. A suitable power cord is enclosed.

Please also note the instructions given in the “APPLICATIONS” Chapter.

The inputs are located on the rear panel. Both balanced 6.3 mm TRS jacks and XLR connectors can be

used.
On the output side, the TRS jacks and XLR connectors are each wired in parallel.

2. OPERATION

The BEHRINGER MAGICIAN uses our newly developed ULTRA-TUBE

®

 technology, a development resulting

from two years of intensive research work by our engineering team. The ULTRA-TUBE technology overcomes

the problems related to tube circuitry (see Chapter 1) and generates upper harmonics, even at low saturation

levels, to give your recordings more warmth and power.

3. APPLICATIONS

This Chapter gives you some hints as to typical applications of the MAGICIAN, thus enabling you to use the

unit as efficiently as possible.
Please take the time to thoroughly study the example applications so that you can fully exploit the variety of

functions your BEHRINGER MAGICIAN has in store.
