Block Diagram (case top panel illustration)
Block diagram (as supplied on Performer top panel) explained:
How to read a functional block diagram, or at least this one! Basically inputs flow
from the left to outputs on the right. Such ‘block diagrams’ are not intended to
be a complete picture of the product, but more of a simplified representation of
the signal flow and control functions. On left margin are descriptions of the
inputs and controls including impedances, nominal and max levels, gain range
etc. Check where you intend to connect, confirm impedances and levels are
suitable for your source, then follow the signal path through the device to the
output you wish to use. For example: On the Mic/Line input, the XL ‘Mic Input’,
depending on gain setting, can be seen to have +24dBu max input capability.
Line inputs, not needing the gain capabilities of a mic input, show the ‘Line Input’
with an internal -20dB pad,
before the preamp,
showing how it is able to accept
up to a +44dBu input level!
The diagram further shows the phantom power is
only available at pins 2 & 3 of the XL connector. You can also confirm that the
Performer follows the accepted standard for Pin 2 High/Positive on an XL
connection. The block diagram can be very useful in helping to trouble shoot
system problems
.
Note:
The jumper function converts the Network Return 1/4” TRS output from a 2
channel - ‘stereo pair’, -2dBu nominal, to a single channel/mono balanced +4dBu
nominal output.
