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.
The MX2642A offers you a choice of mono and stereo input channels, four assignable subgroups, and four

stereo line inputs.

+

This manual first describes the terminology used, so that you can fully understand the MX2642A

and its functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

Your EURORACK was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging is 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.

+

Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection. For your own safety, it is

advisable not to remove the ground connection within the units or at the supply, or fail to

make this connection at all. Please make sure that your local voltage matches the voltage

required by the unit (as indicated on top of your PSU).

+

Please note that both PSU and EURORACK will heat up during operation. This is completely

normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

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 is as well to be clear about 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. We will attempt to be as unambiguous as possible with terms, since much confusion can arise from

sloppy definitions.

1.2 Keys

At the end of this manual you will find some pages with drawings showing the front and rear panel of your

EURORACK respectively. Keep them turned over, lying to the left of the text pages, while studying the manual.
All functions will be numbered consistently throughout the manual, whether they be in the text

 

or

 

on an

illustration. In addition the following prefixes will be used to denote the various types of function control in any

text respectively:
