MATRIX 1-4 EXT INPUT
0dBu line level balanced
TRS jacks to connect external signals into the
matrix. Each matrix has its own input. There are
no level trims for these inputs.
LOCAL MONITOR OUT
Impedance balanced
stereo monitor output on TRS jacks. These can
connect to a stereo amplifier/speaker system for
local monitoring.
2-TRACK IN / OUT
Line level TRS jacks to
connect to a 2-track recorder such as MiniDisc, tape
or DAT. Connect OUT to the recorder input, and IN
to the recorder output. The connections are
balanced. Link ring (cold) to sleeve (ground) when
connecting to unbalanced equipment.
TB/OSC OUT
Impedance balanced TRS line level
output providing talkback, 1kHz oscillator or pink
noise when selected. Use this to patch the test
signal into console channels or other equipment.
MIDI
Two standard opto-isolated 5-pin sockets for
MIDI IN and OUT. The small slide switch selects
either the MIDI or RS232 connection. For normal
console operation it is recommended that the switch
is set to MIDI. The power up boot routine is quicker
in this position than RS232.
RS232
9-pin D-connector to connect to the serial
port of a PC for loading new console operating
software, archiving the settings or controlling the
snapshot memories. To enable RS232 set the slide
switch to the RS232 position. Set it to the MIDI
position when RS232 is not needed.
LAMP
4-pin XLR for plugging in a gooseneck lamp
to illuminate the control surface. Three lamp
sockets are provided along the back of the
meterpod. The right angled Littlite type is
recommended. The 4-pin XLR prevents any
confusion with the 3-pin audio connections.
SYS-LINK EXPANDER OPTION
The console is
provided with blanking plates fitted as standard.
The
ML3000
Sys-Link option kit is available from
Allen & Heath. It is fitted by removing the base,
blanking plates, and plugging in the circuit cards
provided. Fitting instructions come with the kit.
Two pairs of 37-pin and a pair of 9-pin D-connector
sockets allow two consoles to connect together as
master and slave to expand the number of channels
in the mix. These provide access to all the mix
busses and P/AFL system. They are balanced and
operate at –2dBu line level.
Two
ML3000
consoles may be linked as
master/slave. Alternatively the
ML3000
may be
connected as a slave to an
ML4000
or
ML5000
console.
Two 37-way audio and one 9-way logic cables are
required. The audio outputs of the slave console
plug into the master audio inputs. The slave
console SLAVE logic connector plugs into the
master console MASTER logic connector.
The Sys-Link connections conform to the Allen &
Heath Sys-Link II standard. You can connect to a
console fitted with Sys-Link I using special adapter
cables. Contact Allen & Heath for details.
Refer to the Sys-Link fitting instructions for further
details on this option.
