Dear Customer,

Im sure youre one of those people who have devoted themselves body and soul to your chosen area and no doubt this has transformed 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 Ive been involved with studio technology and end users,

Ihave developed a feel for the things that really count, such as sound quality, reliability and ease of use. Whats 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.

Your new UB mixing console is of high quality yet is simple to use; youll 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 should 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

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.

Thank you for your cooperation!

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, youll 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 channels FX control must be set to -oo to avoid any feedback problems.

EURORACK UBB1002

1. INTRODUCTION

1.3.2 Front panel The mono channels 1 and 2 of your UBB1002 feature the

same control elements. Therefore, the following description of channel 1 also applies to channel 2.

The GAIN MIC control determines the channels input gain, both for a microphone connected via the XLR jack and for other signal sources connected to the 1/4" jack. Adjust the signal gain so that the Clip LED below the control lights up during peak signal only, but never permanently. In battery- operated mode the Clip LED is switched off.

Use the PAN control to adjust the signals position on the stereo basis.

Your UBB1002 comes with a 3-band equalizer: the HI control governs the high frequency range, the MID control can be used to boost/cut the midrange frequencies, and the LOW control allows you to raise or lower the gain of the bass range.

The CHANNEL fader adjusts the volume of the corresponding channel.

Use the MON control to determine the channel volume sent to the monitor mix bus. When set fully to the left, the channel volume in the monitor mix is zero.

The FX control adjusts the effects volume for the corresponding channel.

The stereo channels 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 differ from channels 1 and 2 not only with regard to the connectors provided. They also have two GAIN controls, i.e. you can connect a microphone and a stereo line signal at the same time!

When you connect a microphone to a stereo channel on the UBB1002, the input gain is governed by the GAIN MIC control!

The GAIN LINE control is used to adjust the line input gain. Here, too, the signal can be monitored visually with the Clip LED.

The BAL control performs two functions: When you connect a microphone via the XLR connector, or another signal source via the L/MONO jack, the BAL control determines the signal position on the stereo basis. When both 1/4" jack inputs (L & R) are used, the BAL control adjusts the volume balance of the two sources connected.

Except for the GAIN MIC control and a different set of connectors, the channels 9/10 feature the same control elements as the stereo channels. See & and through .

1.3.3 Main section The LEVEL DISPLAY reads the output level of your UBB1002. Make sure that the two Clip LEDs wont light up.

Use this switch to activate the phantom power required for condenser microphones. In battery-operated mode the phantom power provided is only +18 V!

The MON SEND control adjusts the volume level of the monitor signal provided at connector .

Use the MASTER fader to set the overall volume level of your UBB1002.

The FX SEND control allows you to adjust the level that is sent to an external effects device via connector . Thus, you can drive all types of effects devices without any risk of distortion.

The PHONES control governs the headphones volume.

Connect the enclosed power supply to the AC POWER IN jack.

Use the POWER ON switch to switch on your UBB1002, which is indicated by the LED below the LEVEL DISPLAY

.

The POWER switch should always be in the Off position when you are about to connect your unit to the mains.

To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the mains cord plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible. If mounting in a rack, ensure that the mains can be easily disconnected by a plug or by an all-pole disconnect switch on or near the rack.

Attention: The POWER switch does not fully disconnect the unit from the mains. Unplug the power cord completely when the unit is not used for prolonged periods of time.
