1. Install the VOLT in your equipment rack using the 4 supplied screws. If only two screws are used
for installation, they MUST be installed in the bottom holes (A) of the rack ears. As a best practice,
leave a blank space above and below the unit for proper ventilation and cooling.
a. For balanced line-level analog audio, connect
XLR audio cables to the ANALOG LEFT IN and RIGHT IN
jacks (B).
b. For AES digital audio, connect
the dual female XLR “Studio Hub” adaptor cable provided to the
RJ-45 AES IN/SYNC jack (C).
c. For an existing Axia or Livewire system, connect an Ethernet cable from the Livewire network to the
Livewire jack (D).
