Rear Panel Functions 

 

1. 

Mains Power

 - is connected via a standard IEC socket.  A compatible power 

cord is supplied with the unit. 

2. 

Mains Fuse

 - is located in a finger-proof fuseholder adjacent to the mains inlet.  

Always replace this fuse with the correct type as shown on the rear panel 
legend. 

3. 

Power Switch

 - a double pole rocker switch isolates both live and neutral 

connections. 

4. 

Remote Interface  

- Standard units have MIDI In / Thru and Out connections 

via  5 pin DIN sockets. See page 25 for more information. Optional interfaces 
include RS232, RS422 and RS485. Please see information sheet provided with 
the option for more details. 

5. 

XLR Inputs and Outputs

 - Separate 3 pin XLR connectors are provided for 

each audio input and output.  All terminations are fully balanced where pin 2 = 
Hot, pin 3= Cold and pin 1 = Screen (shield).  See page 32 for more information. 

6. 

Digital Output 3+4 Switch

 - pressing this recessed switch will route the AES 

digital format of outputs 3 and 4 via output 3's XLR connector, if the AES/EBU 
option is fitted. 

7. 

Digital Output 1+2 Switch

 - pressing this recessed switch will route the AES 

digital format of outputs 1 and 2 via output 1's XLR connector, if the AES/EBU 
option is fitted. 

8. 

Digital Input Switch

 - pressing this recessed switch will change XLR Input A to 

a 2 channel AES digital format input, if the AES/EBU option is fitted.
