Connecting the Control Cable Breakout Adapter
The Control Cable Breakout Adapter lets the XMON EUCON Software Application communicate with and control the XMON

To connect the Control Cable Breakout Adapter and USB-to-MIDI adapter:
1 Connect the 15-pin end of the Control Cable Breakout Adapter to the Control port on the back panel of the XMON hardware.
2 Connect the MIDI OUT cable from the USB-to-MIDI adapter to the MIDI IN port on the Control Cable Breakout Adapter.
3 Connect the MIDI IN cable from the USB-to-MIDI adapter to the MIDI OUT port on the Control Cable Breakout Adapter.
4 MC Pro and System 5-MC Only: Use a 1/4-inch TRS cable (not included) to connect the Headphone Out on the Control Cable
Breakout Adapter to the
Headphone jack on your control surface:
MC Pro Connect to the Headphone jack on the back of the MC Pro
System 5-MC Connect to the Headphone jack on the bottom of the System 5-MC frame.
Connecting a Talkback Microphone
The XMON EUCON Software Application supports both of the Talkback channels (1 and 2) available on XMON.
Talkback 1 Connects as part of the 15-pin Control Cable. Does not provide phantom power.
Talkback 2 Connects via DB-25 cable to the XMON TB/LB/UTIL port. Talkback 2 provides +18V phantom power.
Use the following instructions to connect Talkback as appropriate for your talkback mic requirements.
To connect a Talkback microphone:
1 Do one of the following, depending on your control surface:
• On MC Pro/S5-MC, connect an XLR cable to the
Talkback Microphone output.
• On S6, connect an XLR cable to the
Talkback Thru port on the back of the Master Module.
2 Do one of the following, depending on the type of microphone you want to use for talkback:
48V To use a microphone that requires 48V phantom power, connect the other end of the cable to the input of a phantom power
supply (not included). For 48V, you must use an external phantom power supply. Connect the output of the phantom power supply
to the
Talkback input (Talkback 1) on the Control Cable Breakout Adapter.
18V To use a microphone that requires 18V (such as a low-power condenser), connect the other end of the XLR cable to the Talk-
back 2 Microphone
input on the back panel of the XMON hardware (on the TB/LB/UTIL DB-25 connector).
