4 EURODESK SX4882 User Manual

1. Introduction

1.1 The manual

1.1.1 Nomenclature

Most specialist subjects are not really all that dicult provided you understand

the language used, and the vocabulary of mixing is pretty straightforward.

Nevertheless, it is as well to be clear about what certain terms mean. A “slot”

in a recorder will always be referred to as a TRACK, while that in a mixer will

invariably be a CHANNEL. A GROUP will always refer to a submix of channels,

never a collection of musicians. Similarly the term BAND will be mentioned

only in conjunction with FREQUENCY. We will attempt to be as unambiguous as

possible with terms, since much confusion can arise from sloppy denitions.

Some terms can have a plurality of meanings. TRACK, in mixing parlance,

referstoa tape recorder. In electronic circuits, components on a PCB

(printedcircuit board) are linked by at conductors called TRACKS.

Hopefully,where terms have dierent meanings the contexts will be

sucientlydiverse so as to avoid any possible confusion.

1.1.2 An unholistic approach

It is virtually impossible to fully explain one aspect of a mixing console

(e.g.CHANNEL ROUTING) without also making it clear what those routes are,

where they go, are they migratory, etc. That’s why we have compartmentalized

the EURODESK manual into sections, making it easy to nd problem solving

information and advice. You might nd that several cross-sectional references

have been made, where areas of interest overlap. E.g.: Channel EQ is specied and

described in the “Main equalizer” section3.4, while EQUALIZATION has its own

section, reecting it’s importance and weight as a subject in its own right.

If we keep repeating ourselves concerning the use of B-channels and the MIX-B

bus, it’s because a proper understanding of this area of the board will greatly

expand your mixing repertoire.

1.1.3 Key

All DESK functions will be numbered consistently throughout the manual,

whether they be in the text or in an illustration. In addition the following prexes

will be used to denote the various types of function control in any illustrations/

text respectively:

Prex Meaning

S Switch

L LED

P Potentiometer

F Fader

Tab. 1.1: Meaning of the used prexes

After every prex you will nd the FUNCTION NUMBER. Numbering starts at the

top of a CHANNEL, works its way through a stereo GROUP, and nally through the

MASTER SECTION. The phantom power and tape operating level switches are not

included in the numbering system.

1.2 Before you get started
