Mix:

All other mixing console functions fall under this vital category. Creating a

mix means primarily adjusting the volume levels of individual instruments

and voices to one another as well as giving them the appropriate weight

within the overall frequency spectrum. Likewise, you’ll have to sensibly

spread individual voices across the stereo image of a signal. At the end of

this process, adjusting the level of the entire mix to other equipment in the

signal path is required (e. g. recorder/crossover/amplifier).
The control surface of BEHRINGER mixing consoles is optimized in such a way

that these functions become easy to fulfill while the signal path remains

simple to follow.

1.2 The user’s manual

The user’s manual is designed to give you both an overview of the controls,

as well as detailed information on how to use them. In order to help you

understand the links between the controls, we have arranged them in groups

according to their function. If you need to know more about specific issues,

please visit our website at http://behringer.com. Additional information and

explanations about various music industry/audio technology terminology can be

found on individual product pages as well as in the glossary.

The block diagram supplied with the mixing console gives you an
overview of the connections between the inputs and outputs, as well
as the associated switches and controls.

1.3 Before you get started

1.3.1 Shipment

Your mixing console was carefully packed in the factory to guarantee safe

transport. 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 us, but notify your
dealer and the shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for
damage or replacement may not be granted.

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 supplied cable. The console meets the required safety standards.

Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.

◊

Please note that all units must be properly grounded. For your own
safety, you should never remove any ground connectors from electrical
devices or power cables, or render them in operative.

◊

Please ensure that only qualified people install and operate the
mixing console. During installation and operation, the user must have
sufficient electrical contact to earth, otherwise electrostatic discharges
might affect the operation of the unit.
