Eight RJ-45 connectors are for audio inputs. The first four RJ-45 jacks are set up as
analog inputs which can be setup as four stereo, eight mono, or any combination stereo
and mono. The last four RJ-45 jacks are set up as AES digital inputs.
Both Console BLADEs have eight RJ-45 connectors for audio outputs. The first four
RJ-45 jacks are set up as analog stereo outputs, and the last four RJ-45 jacks are set up as
AES digital outputs. The “Console” template, by default has a signal map that automatically
cross connects the surfaces Program, Headphone, Cue, and Studio sources to the desig
‑
nated outputs. The Digital outputs follow the Analog outputs and cannot be independently
connected to different audio sources.
An RJ-45 or four 1/4” jacks are provided for headphone and cue outputs.
Four XLR male connectors are provided for control room and studio outputs.
Console BLADEs have two more RJ-45 connectors to provide 12 logic ports, which
can be individually designated during set up as inputs or outputs. These ports are where
you 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 anything
to this port.
Consult the wiring diagram on page 1-39 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 e - Mix Engine DSP
WheatNet‑IP
e is a special device that contains the mix engine and signal processing
needed for a control surface. One WheatNet-IP
e is needed for each control surface.

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.
As for the control surfaces, there are a variety of models (E-1, E-4, E-5, E-6) and sizes
(from as few as 4 to as many as 28 faders) to choose from. These look like traditional
audio consoles and perform similar kinds of functions and more. Consult the specific
control surface manual for detailed information.
