Model 88m - Microphone BLADE
WheatNet-IP 88m is an access point for eight microphones.
Both Console BLADEs integrate a powerful mix engine with analog and digital
I/O to give you a single rack-space console solution. Pairing the 88cbe with the
E-1 control surface, or pairing the 88cb with IP-12 control surface, results in a
super-compact, ultra powerful-mix station that ties perfectly into your WheatNet-IP
network or functions as a stand-alone console.
Two female XLR connectors are microphone preamplifier inputs. Recessed rear
panel phantom power switches and gain trims can be independently configured, and
one RJ-45 connector connects the preamp outputs to any one of the Analog Input
RJ-45’s.
When using the mi-
crophone preampli-
fiers, a jumper must
be connected from
the MIC OUTS to
the desired analog
input port (1-4).

This box has eight female XLR connectors for microphone inputs. Phantom power
can be applied independently to each of the individual inputs.
It also has one DB-25 and eight RJ-45 connectors (the DB and RJ connections are in
parallel so you can choose your preferred connector type) for audio outputs. Only the first
four RJ-45 ports are used. These can be set up as four stereo, eight mono, or any com-
bination up to a maximum of eight discrete channels. These are setup as analog outputs.
Two RJ-45 connectors provide 12 logic ports, which can be individually designated
during set up as inputs or outputs. Use these ports to wire the various external switches,
indicators, and control functions you need in your facility.
There are two RJ-45 jacks for Ethernet. One is for 1 Gigabit Ethernet – connect this
one to your network. The 100 Megabit Ethernet port is not used – do not connect any-
thing to this port.
Consult the wiring diagram on page 1-38 for detailed information.
The unit has a standard IEC power connector. The BLADEs have an internal power
supply that will accept 100-240 volts 50/60 hertz AC power.
Model 88cb, 88cbe - Console BLADE
The WheatNet-IP
88cb and 88cbe Console BLADE models provide comprehensive
access points for typical control room audio I/O.
