EURORACK UBB1002
1. INTRODUCTION
1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! With the UBB1002 you have purchased a
state-of-the-art 10-channel mixing console that sets new
standards. Our prime goal when developing the UBB1002 was
to design a console that can be used for a great variety of
applications. And to give you maximum flexibility, you can operate
the UBB1002 both from the mains and from batteries.
In combination with its comprehensive range of features and
pro-level connections, the UBB1002 will be your perfect tool for
any kind of application: broadcasting, video dubbing or giving the
sound of your band its finishing touch.
1.1 Before you begin
Your EURORACK UBB1002 was carefully packed at the
assembly plant to assure secure transport. Should the condition
of the cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken
place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical
indications of damage.
Damaged equipment should NEVER be sent directly
to us. Please inform the dealer from whom you
acquired the unit immediately as well as the
transportation company from which you took
delivery. Otherwise, all claims for replacement/
repair may be rendered invalid.
Please always use the original packaging to avoid
damage due to storage or shipping.
Never let unsupervised children play with the
UBB1002 or with its packaging.
Please dispose of all packaging materials in an
environmentally friendly fashion.
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling
and please do not place the UBB1002 on high-temperature
devices such as radiators, etc. to avoid overheating.

1.2 Power supply
There are two options for operating the UBB1002: When using
mains power, make sure the console is switched off before
you connect it to the power supply. Then, connect it to the mains
and switch the UBB1002 on, using switch
on the rear.
Please note that the console and its power supply will get warm
during operation, which is completely normal. For battery
operation, you’ll only need two commercial 9-V batteries of the
6LR61 type. Insert the batteries in the battery compartment on
the bottom side of the unit. To use the phantom power supply,
please insert another battery in the separate phantom power
section of the battery compartment. Your UBB1002 operates
about 4 hours from high-grade alkaline batteries (see
chapter 3).
When the unit is not in use or operates from mains
power, please remove the batteries!
1.3 Control elements
1.3.1 Interface panel
Use this balanced XLR jack to connect a microphone to the
UBB1002 (applies to channels 1 through 7/8).
The phantom power required for condenser mics
can be activated with switch
. Please note that
in battery-operated mode the phantom power
provided is only +18 V!
Channels 1 and 2 feature an additional LINE input on a
balanced 1/4" jack.
The INSERT jack allows you to insert, for example, a
compressor or equalizer in the mono channels.
These are the two balanced LINE inputs on 1/4" jacks for
the left and right sides of the stereo channels, which can
be used in parallel to the microphone inputs.
Use the TAPE OUT jacks to connect, for example, a tape
deck for recording applications.
The TAPE IN jacks (on stereo RCA and 1/4" jacks) allow
for the connection of play-back devices such as CD players,
etc. Use either the RCA or the 1/4" jacks.
Use the PHONES jack to connect a commercially available
pair of headphones.
These are the balanced 1/4" jack MAIN OUTPUTS of your
UBB1002 that can be used to drive, e.g. a power amplifier.
The MON SEND connector provides the monitor signal of
your UBB1002, for example, to control a monitor amplifier
or active monitor speaker.
Connect the FX SEND connector to the input of an external
effects device.
The UBB1002 has no dedicated FX Return
connectors. However, you can connect the outputs
of an external effects device to the 1/4" jack inputs
of the stereo channels or channels 9/10. In this case,
the stereo channel’s FX control must be set to -oo
to avoid any feedback problems.
