Connectors4.
Let's begin with the rear panel where the majority of inputs and outputs
are located.
Power supply4.1
IEC receptacle
The mains connection is a standard IEC receptacle. An appropriate power cord is
supplied with the unit.
FUSE HOLDER
Before connecting the unit to the mains, ensure that the voltage setting matches
your local voltage. Blown fuses should only be replaced by fuses of the same type
and rating. Please also read the information given in chapter “Specications.”
POWER
Use the POWER switch to turn on the mixing console. The POWER switch
should always be in the “O” position when you are about to connect your
unit to the mains.
To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main cord plug.
When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible.
If mounting in a rack (XL1600 only), ensure that the mains can be easily
disconnected by a plug pull or by an all-pole disconnect switch on or near
the rack.
Please note: The POWER switch does not fully disconnect the unit from
the mains. To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main
cord plug or appliance coupler. When installing the product, ensure the
plug or appliance coupler is readily operable. Unplug the power cord
when the unit is not used for prolonged periods of time.
SERIAL NUMBER
This is the serial number of the mixing console.
Mono inputs4.2
MIC
The balanced XLR input connects to microphones, DI boxes and
multicores. (Multicores are cables that have multiple cores and
which run from the so-called stagebox to the mixer.)
Connect the microphone and mute all mixer outputs
before turning on the phantom power to avoid noise when
the microphone is turned on. Please wait for about one
minute when switching on the mic until the voltage is
stable. Only then turn on the input amplification.
Caution! Never use unbalanced XLR connectors (pins 1 and
3 interconnected) on the MIC input jacks, if you want to
use phantom power.
+48 V
Phantom power is used for operating a capacitor microphone. A control
LED lights up next to the switch when the phantom power supply is active.
Additional control LEDs are located in each Trim section of the mixer's
channels. As a rule, dynamic microphones can still be used with phantom
power, provided they are wired in a balanced conguration. In case of doubt,
contact the microphone manufacturer!
LINE
This is a ¼" jack connector which connects to line-level signal sources
(for example, keyboards, CD players and wireless microphone receivers).
The input is balanced (TRS connector) but can also be used with unbalanced
connectors (TS connector).
INSERT
The INS(ert) connector (¼" stereo jack connector) is used to connect to external
signal processors. Here you can hook up a compressor, noise gate or equalizer to
process the signal of a single channel. The insert jack is placed before the fader,
EQ and aux send. Please use an insert cable to connect to the insert point.
DIRECT OUT
This ¼" mono jack connector is a direct output which taps the signal after the
channel fader to route it to a multi-track recorder, for example. By modifying the
circuit board in the unit, the signal can also be tapped pre-fader (see chapter 6).
