Behringer Eurorack UB802 question?
I just picked up one of these mixers for use with my condenser mic. I have a
few questions--maybe someone who is familiar with it can answer for me. The first is the phantom power switch. When I turn it off, the power slowly dissipates, as opposed to shutting right off. Is this normal? My other question is not that important but I was just curious. The two level knobs for the 2 mono inputs are a lot looser than the two for the stereo inputs and they don't have that lock-in feeling when you reach the mid point. Is this normal--is there any reason why they would make those two differently? Help would be appreciated--thanks. |

It has something to do with the Geneva Convention. They used detented pots for the stereo trims? Did yo RTM?

Thats normal for phantom power to do that.This is why you should not unplug
your mic right away let it sit for a minute after you turn off the power.It takes a few seconds to turn on also once you push the phantom button. As for the knobs.....I would say 12 hail Marries before you touch them each time you turn the board on.My buddies died a horrible slow painful death. :-) Good Luck Ty Ford wrote in message ...

Not they a;; pretty much just sort of fade away, some with bumps and rumbles. Thanks. Mine takes a good few minutes before it finally dies out. Even after I unplug the mixer the phantom power takes a few seconds to die out. Is this some kind of a safety mechanism to protect the condenser mics?

It has something to do with the Geneva Convention. They used detented pots for the stereo trims? Did yo RTM? Yeah they used them for all other knobs except the mono-input level knobs and the small gain knobs for the mic inputs. It doesn't make sense to me that they would only use non-detented (thanks for the word--I knew there must have been one) knobs here, but everywhere else, detented. It wouldn't bother me so much if the non-detented ones also feel a good deal looser than the rest. I assume your joking about some countries not being able to use them on mono channels :-) |

If I just unplug the whole mixer, it takes about 15 seconds or so for the phantom to die out completely. As for the knobs.....I would say 12 hail Marries before you touch them each time you turn the board on.My buddies died a horrible slow painful death. you mean your *buddy's* or your * "buddies" * --big difference in this case ? :-) |

More likely just the way a power rail with a big capacitor in the circuit behaves :-) CubaseFAQ www.laurencepayne.co.uk/CubaseFAQ.htm "Possibly the world's least impressive web site": George Perfect |
