EURODESK MX2442A

The level to tape is ultimately determined by precision faders . Main mix insert points are provided for patching a gate, a compressor etc. pre-fader. This is important: Connecting a compressor or gate after the 2-track output would disrupt any attempt to acquiring a smooth fade using the output faders.

Although the 2-track output is primarily designed for recording, it can also be used as a PA feed, or as a send to the input of your sampler. In fact, up to three simultaneous destinations can be serviced without resorting to a patchbay or splitter leads—there are three separate 2-track outputs on your EURODESK!

6.6 Talkback

The built-in flush-mounted mic is activated by depressing the non-latching TALK switch just above the MAIN MIX faders. Engaging talkback dims the control room monitors, (not lights!) by -20 dB to avoid feedback. This does not affect the other talkback routes.

Talkback level is set by , and the mic can be routed to any or all of auxes 1/2 and 3/4 ( , )—in other words, every possible pre-fader (cue) aux send—to enable you to talk to artists remotely through their headphones or personal stage mixes.

Sometimes you will want a much higher rejection of feedback than a flush-mounted talkback mic could ever provide. When running a live concert mix, a dynamic mic plugged into a spare channel and routed to all the pre-fader sends only will do the job.

DC power in

This circular multiway connector distributes the different DC operating voltages delivered by the PSU: +/-18 V (audio circuits), +48 V (mic phantom power), +12 V (lamp) and +5 V (LEDs).

Phantom power switch

When using capacitor mics, +48 V DC can be switched globally on or off by (also see “Mic inputs”).

+Care should be taken NOT to plug mics into the console (or stagebox) while the phantom

power is on. Also mute the monitor / PA speakers when turning phantom power on or off. Allow 1 minute after powering up for the system to equilibrate before setting input gains.
