Chapter 3, Installing Your RT.X100 Xtreme and Connecting Your Devices
Connections to a sound card with an external
breakout box
Some sound cards have an external audio breakout box (sometimes referred to as
a “rack”) to simplify connecting other devices. If you have an external audio
breakout box, you connect the audio input and output on your RT.X100 Xtreme
breakout cable differently than explained in the previous section.
°To connect to an external audio breakout box:
1 Connect the light blue connector labeled TO AUDIO CARD IN on your
RT.X100 Xtreme breakout cable to the
LINE IN jack (or corresponding jack)
on the front panel of your audio breakout box.
2 Connect the light green connector labeled TO AUDIO CARD OUT on your
RT.X100 Xtreme breakout cable to the
FRONT jack (or corresponding jack)
on the rear panel of your audio breakout box.
The following illustration provides an example of typical connections to an
external audio breakout box:
¦NoteIf the audio input and output cables on your RT.X100 Xtreme breakout
cable aren’t long enough to reach your audio breakout box, simply use extension
cables. These can be purchased at any electronics store.
