28 – Balanced XLR Outputs
Each output channel has an electronically balanced XLR connector for
connection to system amplifiers. Each output channel can output different
frequency ranges depending on its assignment and cross-over settings.
Care must be taken to assure that each output is connected
to an appropriate amplifier and loudspeaker to avoid damage
or unexpected results. Note that a new preset may change
the assignment of channel and its frequency range. For
instance an output assigned to Hi frequency speakers in one
preset, may be assigned as a sub output in another. See
“Configurations of the DSP 260”.
29 – AES/EBU Digital Input
In addition to the analog audio inputs, an AES/EBU digital stereo input is
provided and selectable in the Setup menu. The input conforms to IEC
standard 60958 Type I. Connections must be made with three-conductor,
110-Ohm, twisted pair cabling and an XLR connector.
30 – Balanced XLR Thru
Each analog audio input is connected to an electronically buffered and
balanced output as a through connector. The signal does not undergo any
digital conversion or processing. These connectors are used to pass input
audio to a second DSP 260 used as a slave or to other audio inputs in the
system.
31 – Balanced XLR Inputs
Each input has an electronically balanced, locking XLR connector. In stereo or
dual modes, connections to both inputs must be made. In mono modes, only
one connection need be made, typically to Input A.
32 – -6dB Pad
Input levels to the DSP 260 can be reduced -6dB prior to the A/D converter to
compensate for higher-level output from mixers and other audio devices. For
ideal signal to noise performance when connecting the DSP 260 to high output
level devices engage the -6dB pad rather than turning down the output of the
connected device. The DSP 260’s Input Level Meters (2) will indicate incoming
signal level and whether attenuation is required.
