Let's begin with the rear panel where the majority of inputs and outputs are located.
Power supply
4.1
IEC receptacle
The mains connection
is a standard IEC re-
ceptacle. An appropri-
ate power cord is sup-
plied 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 “Specifications.”
POWER
Use the POWER switch to turn on the mixing console. The POWER
switch should always be in the “Off” 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 discon-
+
nect the unit from the mains. To disconnect the unit
from the mains, pull out the main cord plug or appli
-
ance 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 inputs
4.2
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 connec-
+
tors (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 configuration. 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 micro-
phone 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 con-
nect to external signal processors. Here you can hook up a com-
pressor, 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).
