Getting Inside the Digital X Bus

What You Need

You only require three tools to perform this procedure:

•  A new condition #2 Philips head Screwdriver  (Figure A, below left).

•  Flathead “Jeweler’s” Screwdriver (Figure B, below right)

•  Anti-static Wrist Strap

Before You Start

You’ll need to do the following things before starting to open up your Digital X Bus:

•  Make sure the console is completely shut off and unplugged from any AC power source.

•  Unplug all audio and sync cables from the rear panel.

•  Unplug any USB peripherals, mouse, keyboard, or anything other cables attached to the 

rear panel.

•  Place the Digital X Bus on a surface larger than the console, away from any carpeting or 

static-prone area(s). This surface will need to extend beyond the rear side of the Digital 

X Bus by at least two-three feet (or one meter) of distance, because the rear panel will 

eventually slide out (like a drawer) and you will need to make sure it is supported and 

doesn’t fall out of the mixer.

•  Put on the anti-static wrist strap and connect the end of the cord to the metal chassis of the 

Digital X Bus (Figure C).

Note: We recommend using an area that provides access to all sides of the Digital X Bus, 

such as a table in the middle of a room…or something similar.
