15EURODESK SX2442FX/SX3242FX User Manual

5.Audio Connectors

The inputs and outputs of the BEHRINGER EURODESK are designed as unbalanced ¼" TS connectors—except for the balanced line inputs of the mono and stereo channels and the main out connectors. Of course, all inputs and outputs work with both balanced and unbalanced connectors. The tape ins and outs are stereo RCA connectors.

◊Please ensure that only qualified personnel install and operate the EURODESK. During installation and operation, the user must have sufficient electrical contact to earth. Electrostatic charges might affect the operation of the unit.
