Power To power your Noise Engineering module, turn off your case. Plug one end of your ribbon cable into your power board so that the red stripe on the ribbon cable is aligned to the side that says -12v and each pin on the power header is plugged into the connector on the ribbon. Make sure no pins are overhanging the connector! If they are, unplug it and realign. Line up the red stripe on the ribbon cable so that it matches the white stripe and/or -12v indication on the board and plug in the connector.

Design Notes Xer Dualis is a project that was started long, long ago. We’ve had many ideas for compact mixers (you may have seen some prototypes if you’ve been to any of our in-person demos over the years) but coming up with a final module that worked well and did what we wanted it to proved a challenge. XD changed size a number of times (it was 4 at one point, then 12, then 8, then, finally, 6 HP), and its features varied, too.
