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:
