INSTALLATION 

The ART CX310 may be used in a wide variety of applications and environments. Enclosed in a 1U 

(1.75 inches high) rack-mountable, all-steel enclosure, the unit is designed for continuous 

professional use. The depth is 6.5 inches, exclusive of the power cord. Mounting location is not 

critical. However, for greater reliability, we recommend that you not place the unit on top of power 

amps or other sources of heat. 

AC POWER HOOKUP 

The CX310 has an internal power supply designed to operate from 105 to 120VAC at 50/60Hz. 

Export units are configured with a different power cord and the voltage switch is set for the country of 

destination. Before plugging the CX310 into the AC mains, make sure that all of the equipment 

following the crossover outputs are turned off or that all of the outputs are turned down. 

INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS 

The CX310 has XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack connectors for each input and output. All connections 

are active balanced although the 1/4" phone jack connections can easily be converted to unbalanced 

operation by using two-conductor phone plugs. Inserting a plug into a 1/4" jack disconnects the 

associated XLR connector.
