1. THE MANUAL
Thank you for expressing your confidence in us and our work by purchasing the EURODESK MX3282A. Our
first task in writing this manual is to make you feel comfortable with the special terms that are used to describe
your EURODESK MX3282A and its proper use.
+ Reading this manual will make you aware of the many possibilities the EURODESK MX3282A
offers you. Please keep this manual safely for future reference.
1.1 Warranty
Please take the time to have the warranty card filled out completely, and return it within 14 days after the date

Your EURODESK was carefully packed in the factory and the package was designed to protect the unit from
rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for
any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred while shipping.
+ If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to us, but notify your dealer and the shipping
company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be granted.
Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.
+ Before you connect your EURODESK and its external power supply unit (PSU) to the mains,
please make sure that your local voltage matches the voltage required by the unit. On the
PSUs rear panel you will find the information required (see chapter 2.3).
+ The PSU and the mixing console are getting warm while in use. This is a normal effect and no
reason to worry.
+ Operation and installation of the EURODESK and connected studio equipment should only be
done by qualified personnel. Always be sure that operating personnel is sufficiently earthed to
avoid trouble caused by electrostatic charge.
1.2 Nomenclature
Most specialist subjects are not really all that difficult provided you understand the language used, and the
vocabulary of mixing is pretty straight-forward. 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 sub-mix of channels. Similarly the term band will be mentioned only in
conjunction with frequency.
1.3 Key
On a separate sheet you will find some pages with drawings showing the front, the connector panel and the
rear panel of your EURODESK. Always keep them available while studying this manual.
All EURODESK functions will be numbered consistently throughout the manual, whether they be in the text or
in an illustration.
