1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! With the EURODESK you have acquired a
state-of-the-art mixing console that sets new standards. Right
from the very start it has been our goal to design a revolutionary
unit that can be used for a great variety of applications. And
indeed, this overwhelming mixing console gives you plenty of
functionality and a broad range of connection and expansion
options.
BEHRINGER is a company with its roots in professional
recording studio technology. For many years now we have
been successful in developing products for studio and live use.
These include microphones and studio gear of all kinds
(compressors, enhancers, noise gates, tube processors,
headphone amplifiers, digital effects, DI boxes, etc.), monitor
and P.A. speakers as well as professional live and recording
mixers. Our entire technical know-how has gone into your
EURODESK mixing console.
FBQ Feedback Detection System
One of the most outstanding features of this console
is the FBQ Feedback Detection System, which is
part of the graphic equalizer. This ingenious circuit
makes it possible to detect and subsequently
eliminate feedback frequencies very quickly. FBQ
increases the brightness of the EQ fader LEDs for the frequency
bands where feedback is occurring. What used to be a tedious
search for feedback frequencies is now mere child’s play.
IMP “Invisible” Mic Preamp
The microphone channels are equipped with
BEHRINGER’s brand-new high-end IMP Invisible
Mic Preamps, which offer you:
s 130 dB of dynamic range and hence an unbelievable amount
of headroom,
s a bandwidth from below 10 Hz to above 200 kHz for the
crystal-clear reproduction of even the slightest details,
s extremely noise and distortion-free circuitry for absolutely
natural sound and neutral signal reproduction,
s perfect adaptation to any microphone on the market (up
to 60 dB gain and +48 V phantom power), and
s the possibility of pushing the dynamic range of your
24-bit/192-kHz HD recorder to the max and thus achieving
ultimate audio quality.
What is more, the EURODESK comes with two effects
processors using 24-bit A/D and D/A converters and
the effects algorithms of our renowned 19" multi-
effects device VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P. Each
processor offers 99 presets with first-class room simulations,
delay and modulation effects as well as compressor, tube
distortion and numerous other effects available—all with excellent
audio quality!
The mixer is equipped with a state-of-the-art
integrated switch-mode power supply. Unlike
conventional designs, this supply automatically
adapts to supply voltages between 100 and
240 V. With its considerably higher efficiency, it is
also more economical in terms of power consumption than
standard power supply units.
