ULTRALINK PRO MX882

1. INTRODUCTION

With the BEHRINGER ULTRALINK PRO you have purchased an ultra-flexible “problem solver” in signal distribution applications, designed to meet highest requirements: professional recording, broadcast and television studios, CD and digital production facilities, etc. Much like an all-in-one tool, it provides virtually unlimited configurations. Be it the distribution of a stereo signal to several outputs (splitter); the combination of separate signals to one stereo output (mixer), or the specific level adaption of individual signals (buffer amplifier): the ULTRALINK PRO can perform all of these functions easily - and simultaneously.

Future-oriented BEHRINGER technology

Our ULTRALINK range of devices has been a hit ever since we introduced our first model several years ago. This splitter/mixer is based on many years of experience and findings in mixing technology and is used throughout the world in renowned studios, sound reinforcement systems as well as in broadcast and television studios.

It was a real challenge to improve the well-known ULTRALINK even further, and we are proud of our success. Compared to its predecessor models, the ULTRALINK PRO not only has additional features, but also comes with dramatically improved functionality. For example, it now has input and output level meters and balanced in- and outputs.

The architecture of the ULTRALINK PRO

Basically, the unit consists of six mono channels, which can be used either as a splitter or as a mixer. For instance, a stereo program source can be inserted via the main input to be subsequently routed to any of the mono channels that are set to SPLIT mode. Using the individual BALANCE/PAN control, you can—for each channel—determine the ratio between the left and right main input signals that are routed to the corresponding output of the channels. Thus, the stereo input signal coming from the main input section can be distributed selectively among the six mono output channels.

In MIX mode, the input signals from the respective channel(s) can be mixed at the stereo main output, with the individual BALANCE/PAN control determining the signal ratio between the left and right main outputs (pan function). It is of particular advantage that, in MIX mode, the stereo input signal from the main input section is alternatively routed to the main outputs. By using this feature a total of up to 8 single signals can be combined.

In MIX mode, the mono input signals are simultaneously applied to the respective mono outputs, which permits each channel to be used as an individual matching amplifier. The LEVEL controls in the corresponding channels enable the user to adapt the levels at will, with a maximum gain of +15 dB. Levels used in home- recording can therefore be converted into studio levels (+4 dBu), and vice versa.

Typical applications

The ULTRALINK PRO MX882 is one of the most flexible systems of its type. The following applications can be realized:

2 IN/8 OUT splitter, 8 IN/2 OUT mixer, 6 IN/6 OUT matching amplifier or any other combination.

sKeyboard submixer

sDistribution amplifier for P.A. systems, discotheques, theatres, churches, hotels, communication systems, etc.

sAdd-on module for mixer channels

sAdd-on module for effect and monitor paths

sLevel translator from -10 dBV to +4 dBu etc.

By combining several ULTRALINK PROs you can set up, for instance, a 24-channel mixer or splitter.
