be used).

It is recommended that you make new audio cables for these devices. The console blade provides the
following connections:
The two mic connections on the left are preamplifier inputs. Preamp outputs are provided on the RJ-45
on the top row to the immediate right of the mic 2 preamp input XLR. The
pinout is shown at the right.
This must be connected to an analog input, usually #1 which is to the
immediate right of the preamp output RJ-45. This can be done with a short RJ-
45 jumper. The left and right channels of analog input #1 are then configured
in WheatNet-IP navigator for the blade to be individual mono channels with
the names “Mic 1” and “Mic 2.”
The remaining digital inputs and outputs can be connected to local sources and destinations as noted
above. Note that the analog and AES outputs are in parallel. Analog and AES input and output wiring is
as follows:
Dedicated outputs are provided for control room and studio (monitor) as well as headphone and cue.
Note that you will need to make a cable from the headphone output (1/4” TRS) to the D9 female
connector on the rear of the E6 control surface to feed the headphone jack on the surface. Alternatively,
a jack mounted elsewhere (rack panel or cabinet tabletop) can be connected to these jacks.
Follow the instructions in Sections IV and V to install Nexgen and the WheatNet-IP driver on the Nexgen
workstation in the production room. Use the WheatNet-IP Navigator software, discussed in Section V, to
