Chapter 2: Installing XMON 6
Installing the USB-to-MIDI Adapter
The included USB-to-MIDI adapter allows supported control surfaces to communicate with the workstation on which the XMON
EUCON software is installed.
To install the USB-to-MIDI adapter:
1 Connect the USB end to a USB port on the workstation on which you will be installing XMON EUCON software.
2 Leave the MIDI IN and OUT jacks unconnected for now (these will be connected after installing the breakout cable.
Network Connections
The workstation on which you will be installing XMON EUCON Software must be connected to the control surface network. If you
are installing XMON EUCON on the same workstation as one of your DAWs or other EUCON-aware applications, the required
Ethernet connection between devices is already in place. If you will be installing XMON EUCON on a dedicated (non-DAW)
workstation, you must connect that workstation to your control surface network.
For example, with S6 you must connect the workstation to the S6 Ethernet switch. After connecting the Control Cable Breakout
Adapter, install WSControl and XMON EUCON Software on the workstation (explained later in this guide). Make sure the work-
station is recognized and connected to S6 in the
Settings > Workstation screen.
Connecting the Control Cable Breakout Adapter
The Control Cable Breakout Adapter lets the XMON EUCON Software Application communicate with and control the XMON
hardware. It also provides an audio connection for the XMON Talkback 1 and a Headphone jack.
To connect the Control Cable Breakout 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.
Headphones
To connect headphones:
Use a 1/4-inch TRS cable (not included) to connect the Headphone Out on the Control Cable Breakout Adapter to a headphone
amp, or connect headphones directly.
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 1 requires a mic preamp be-
tween the S6 and XMON. If using a condenser mic, the mic pre needs to provide phantom power.
Talkback 2
Connects via DB-25 cable to the XMON TB/LB/UTIL port. Talkback 2 provides +18V phantom power.
