8 EURORACK MX2004A 1.2 Before you begin 1.2.1 PSU (power supply unit) Any amplifier circuit is limited in its transient response by the available current. Every mixer has numerous line level operational amplifiers (op-amps) inside. When being driven hard, many desks begin to show signs of stress due to power supply limitations. Not so with the EURO ...

9 EURORACK MX2004A For level-setting (as opposed to localized listening) select the mono PFL bus rather than the post-fader (post- channel pan) stereo solo bus (CHANNEL MODE global switch up). PFL/solo never interrupts the mix at the main recording outputs. It follows that aux sends must also be unaffected, since they contribute directly to the mai ...

10 EURORACK MX2004A 2.5 Insert Insert points are useful for adding dynamic processing or equalization to a channel or the mix. Unlike reverbs etc., which are usually added to the dry signal, dynamic processing is normally applied across an entire signal. Here an aux send would be inappropriate. Instead the signal is intercepted somewhere along the ...

11 EURORACK MX2004A 4.2 Stereo aux returns There are two additional stereo line inputs (aux returns 1 and 2) on your MX2004A. Aux returns 1 is perma- nently assigned to the main mix. If you connect a jack to the left socket only, the aux return 1 operates in mono. Aux return 2 can be switched between the main mix and the cue feed (aux send 1) via a ...

The 2-track input is primarily for auditioning mix playback from tape. The switch 2 TK routes this signal to the monitors and/or phones. However, it can also be ro ...

Avoid routing digital signals over a patchbay as the pulse signal used for the transmission of such signals causes heavy interference in analog signals. Additionally, normal patchbays c ...

20 EURORACK MX2004A thus allows for recording both to the DAT recorder and the tape deck, simply by patching it accordingly. Modules 19 & 20 (tape deck) are open, because it does not make sense connecting the inputs and outputs of the tape deck. 21 & 22 are normalled and route the DAT recorder outputs to the 2-track inputs of the mixing con ...

In general corrective EQ usually involves broadband (slope) contouring, together with narrowband notching of unwanted resonances. The narrower the notch or “ Q ” , the less the total signal will be affected. Finding bad resonances is made easier by first fr ...
