THE X-MIXER DIGITAL CONSOLE
ANALOG AUDIO
CONNECTIONS
There are no analog interstage patch points
within the X-mixer channels or outputs. To
use a patchbay, connect the line level out-
puts from the peripheral devices directly to
the patch bay and then normal these to the
appropriate Input channels. Likewise, X-
mixer‘s outputs may also be routed through
a patchbay normalled to standard peripher-
als such as On-Air processing gear, record-
ers, telephone hybrids, etc.
To use a mic input with a patch bay, use
an external mic amplifier. Connect the line
output of the mic amplifier to the patch bay
and then normal it to a console line level
input. Mic processors are connected in the
same manner.
When processors requiring mic-level
inputs are used, the microphone should con-
nect to the mic processor directly, with the
processor’s line-level output directly connect-
ed to an Input channel.
Unbalanced Analog Connections
Even though all analog inputs and outputs
are active and balanced, unbalanced consum-
er or “semipro” equipment can be connected
to the console For best results use an IHF-
PRO match box. If a match box is not avail-
able, unbalanced analog devices can connect
per the following illustration. Keep unbal -
anced cable lengths as short as possible.
When an unbalanced device must be con-
nected to a console analog balanced output,
and an IHF-PRO match box is not available,
do not tie the low (-) and shield pins together
to “unbalance” the signal. The low pin must
always be left “floating,” as shown below.

Pin numbering is always shown from
the wire entry end into contact
The X-mixer uses AMP MR series
connectors for ease of installation
and servicing. The connectors are
polarized so that they can not be
inserted backwards.
