5 E FOREWORD Dear Customer, Welcome to the team of ULTRAFEX PRO users and thank you very much for expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER products by purchasing this unit.
6 TABLE OF CONTENT 1. INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................. ..... 7 2. THE DESIGN CONCEPT ........................................................................
7 E 1. INTRODUCTION In purchasing the new ULTRAFEX PRO Model EX3200, you have acquired an extremely efficient and universal sound enhancement processor. The sound precision and flexibility of the functions are the main outstanding features of this high-end unit.
8 Bass Processor The ULTRAFEX PRO is equipped with a separate bass processor which allows for sound enhancement in the lower frequency band. A newly developed Dual Mode circuit allows you to vary between two different bass sounds from soft to tight.
9 E 2. THE DESIGN CONCEPT 2. 1 High Quality Components And Design The philosophy behind BEHRINGER products guarantees a no-compromise circuit design and employs the best choice of components. The operational amplifiers NJM4580 which are used in the ULTRAFEX PRO, are exceptional.
10 3. INSTALLATION Your BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging was designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and ist contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred in transit.

12 4. CONTROLS Fig. 4.1: UL TRAFEX PRO front panel The BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO has two identical channels and provides 5 illuminated push-button switches, 5 rotary controls, and 13 LEDs per channel. 4.1 The Multiband Processor Section 4 8 1 7 6 5 3 2 Fig.
13 E 7 The HIGH MIX control of the high band determines the amount of signal used for sound enhancement (from zero to six). It would depend on the application as to whether a high-quality system is to.
14 13 The SURROUND control determines the effect of the surround processor. This function serves to im- prove the intensity of the stereo effect and to enlarge the stereo basis dependent on the program content. Therefore, this function can only be used in conjunction with stereo program material.
15 E 5. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND 5.1 Design Concept Of The ULTRAFEX PRO The BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO... s increases presence and transparency. The program material will sound lively and natural again. s improves the intelligibility of speech: voices become clearly articulated, text easily intelligible, the transpar- ency of the vocal increases.
16 This phenomenon creates complex sounds and is underlined by the fact that a combination of harmonics can produce additional tones, known as interference or residual tones. All of these tiny sound portions contribute to the sound of certain instruments.
17 E The effect produced by so-called chorus units is based on the same principle of phase shift and signal delay. Here, several delayed signals are added to evenly intensify this effect. The BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO is equipped with a frequency-selective phase shift circuit that comprises several stages.
18 6. APPLICATIONS 6. 1 Basic Applications 6.1 .1 The ULTRAFEX PRO As In-Line Processor The BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO provides two methods of system configuration: Fig.
19 E Fig. 6.2: Using the UL TRAFEX PRO as sidechain processor Within a sidechain scenario, the original signal must be muted by depressing the SOLO switch, so that phase cancellations (comb filter effects) and additional noise will be effectively avoided.
20 6. 3 Typical Applications In this section we will discuss a few typical applications of the BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO: 6.3 .1 Sound Enhancement During Replay For this application, the BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO follows the master or multi-track recorder, i.
