Master Section Connections (top left to right)
Control 2802 connects to your DAW via IP based networking
protocols,andassuchtherstconnectorofinterestinthe
master section is a standard RJ-45 CAT-5e Ethernet port,
which provides bi-directional high speed communication to
your DAW and carries MIDI automation data as well as control
surface protocols. There are two LEDs that indicate network
connection and activity.
The Main Speaker, Alt Speaker, Aux 1 & 2, Cue and Main Mix
outputs are on balanced male XLR connectors with <75 Ohms
output impedance and a maximum output level of +27dBu.
The DAW Mix, DAW F/B and External Stereo inputs are
on balanced female XLR connectors with >10k Ohms input
impedance and a maximum input level of +27dBu.
Two stereo FX Returns and the External Compressor
inputsareprovidedonbalanced1/4”TRSjack,withaninput
impedance of >10k Ohms and a maximum input level of +27dBu.
The External Compressor outputs are provided on balanced
1/4”TRSjackandhaveanoutputimpedanceof<75Ohmswith
a maximum output level of +27dBu.
The Main Mix Insertsarealsoonbalanced1/4”TRSjackwith

amaximumdrivecapabilityof+21dBu,whilethereturnjacksoffer
>10k Ohms input impedance with +21dBu of maximum input level.
The Mains Power input is a stand 3-pin IEC connector with
integrated fuse, it will accept line voltages from 100-240V ±10%.
The fuse is a T2A slow-blow.
The Headphone outputisanunbalanced,stereoTRS1/4”jack
connection with enough current drive to cause hearing damage
if driven hard – BE CAREFUL, protect your ears!
The External Talkback microphone input is a balanced female
XLR connector with >5k Ohms input impedance and a maximum
input level of +7dBu. Please note 48V phantom power can be
provided to this input.
Unbalancing Control 2802
To unbalance a Control 2802 line level input, link pin 3 to pin 1 at
the source. Please note that this must be achieved at the source
end, therefore the Control 2802 line input must be left wired
asbalancedtopreservesomeofthecommon-moderejection
performance(CMRR)oftheinputstage.Pleaserefertotherst
diagram at the bottom of the page.
To unbalance an output from Control 2802, link pin 3 to pin 1
at the output of the console.
Please note that this can also be achieved in a 1/4” TRS Jack
connectorbyconnectingtheringtothesleevewithinthejack
housing. To achieve an unbalanced output from the DB25
channel direct outputs you will have to do it at the terminating
end, assuming that the cable breaks out into tails. Please refer
to the second diagram at the bottom of the page.
Please note that when wiring your cables do not leave as much
exposed bare shield as can be seen in these diagrams. They
have been exaggerated for clarity.
