Owner’s Manual
Chapter 4: Setting Up The System
This chapter shows you how to set up a PRO6 Live Audio System to its default
configuration.
Note: If you want to set up the PRO6 Live Audio System using a configuration other
than the default, please contact Midas Technical Support for details.
Initial set-up procedure
Initial system set-up basically comprises:
• Unpacking and checking the equipment — see “Unpacking the equipment” on
page 27.
• Making up a rack — see “Making up a rack” on page 27.
• Connecting up the equipment — see “Wiring instructions” on page 28.
• Powering the equipment — see “Powering the PRO6 system” on page 30.
• Initial patching — see “Setting up the I/O rack devices” on page 71. It is
important to set up the type of snakes connected in the system.
• Configuring the DL351 unit — see “Setting up the DL351 Modular I/O unit ID” on
page 32.
Unpacking the equipment
After carefully unpacking the equipment, check it against the packing list shown in
“System components (standard supply)” on page 8.
Save all packing materials, as they will prove useful should it become necessary to
transport the equipment later.
Inspect the equipment carefully for any sign of damage incurred during transportation.
It has undergone stringent quality control inspection and tests prior to packing and was
in perfect condition when it left the factory. However, if the equipment shows any signs
of damage, notify the transportation company without delay. Only you, the consignee,
may institute a claim against the carrier for damage during transportation.
Making up a rack
In the standard supply, the rack supplied with the PRO6 Live Audio System is fully fitted
with the DL351 Modular I/O and DL371 Audio System Engine units. However, should
you wish to re-configure the system to suit your own needs, take note of the rack
requirements as detailed in the following subsection.
Outboard equipment rack requirements
To ensure the correct installation and function of the outboard equipment, any rack has
to meet the following general requirements:
• Shock mounting (for non-installation environments): The rack must provide
adequate shock protection of the units it houses by incorporating
appropriately-designed shock protection methods. For example, a foam-suspended
rack or a frame suspended on anti-vibration mounts.
