EURORACK  UB1222FX

-PRO

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! In purchasing the BEHRINGER EURORACK

you have acquired a mixer whose small size belies its incredible

versatility and audio performance.

The  BEHRINGER  EURORACK  mixing  console  offers  you

premium-quality microphone preamplifiers with optional phantom

power  supply,  balanced  line  inputs  and  the  ability  to  connect

external effects devices. Because of its extensive and carefully

thought-out  routing  possibilities,  your  EURORACK  lends  itself

equally to both live and studio use.

FBQ  Feedback  Detection  System

The  FBQ  Feedback  Detection  System,  integrated  into  the

graphic equalizer, is one of the most outstanding characteristics

of this mixing console. This ingenious circuitry lets you immediately

recognize  and  eliminate  feedback  frequencies.  The  FBQ

Feedback  Detection  System  uses  the  LEDs  in  the  frequency

band faders of the graphic EQ to indicate the critical frequencies.

1. INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer,
I’m  sure  you’re  one  of

those  people  who  have

devoted  themselves

body  and  soul  to  your

chosen  area  and  no

doubt  this  has  trans-

formed  you  into  an

expert in your field!
Well, for over 30 years,

my  passion  has  been

music  and  electronics.

This not only led me to

establish  BEHRINGER,

but  also  enabled  me  to

convey  and  share  my

enthusiasm  with  my

employees.
During all the years that

I’ve  been  involved  with

studio technology and end users, I have developed a feel for the

things  that  really  count,  such  as  sound  quality,  reliability  and

ease of use. What’s more, I have always had the desire to push

the boundaries of technical possibilities to the extreme.

It was precisely this motivation that prompted me to start work

on a new series of mixing consoles. Since our EURORACKs had

already set new standards world-wide, I knew the development

objectives  behind  the  products  bearing  my  initials  had  to  be

especially ambitious.

Thus, the concept and design of the new UB mixing consoles

bear my signature. The design work, the entire circuit diagram

and PCB development, and even the mechanical concepts are

my own work. I carefully selected each individual component—

with the aim of pushing the mixing consoles’ analog and digital

technologies to their limits.

My vision was to enable you, the user, to give free rein to your

true potential and creativity. The result is incredibly powerful mixing

consoles that offer intuitive operation. They cannot fail to impress

with their extremely flexible routing possibilities plus fantastic wealth

of functions. Innovative technologies, such as the completely new

IMP “Invisible” Mic Preamps, guarantee optimum sound quality and

extraordinarily high-quality components provide unrivalled reliability,

even under extreme loads.

Your new UB mixing console is of high quality yet is simple to

use;  you’ll  soon  appreciate  that  I,  both  personally  and  in  my

capacity as musician and sound engineer, put you, the end user,

first and that these products were only possible because of the

passion and the attention to detail that went into them.

Thank  you  for  the  confidence  you  have  placed  in  us  by

purchasing the UB mixing console. I would also like to thank all

those who, with their personal commitment and passion, have

helped me realize this impressive series of mixing consoles.

Kindest  regards,

Uli Behringer
