Connections

AC Power Cord

Insert the molded receptacle of the AC power cord into the AC power inlet on the 
back of the BASIS 922dz. Plug the AC line connector into the AC outlet. The power 
supply will accept from 100 to 240 Volts AC, 47 to 440 Hertz, without any changes. 
If a different type of IEC power cord is required than supplied with your 922dz, con-
tact QSC’s Technical Services Department.

CobraNet

Connect one end of a category-5 cable terminated with a RJ45 plug into the 

CobraNet

 receptacle. Insert the RJ45 plug into the receptacle with the lock-tab 

oriented toward the bottom of the BASIS 922dz and push firmly until the connector 
locks into place (usually an audible “click” can be heard). Connect the other end to 
the appropriate CobraNet network port.

QSControl

Connect one end of a category-5 cable terminated with an RJ45 plug into the 

QSControl

 receptacle. Insert the RJ45 plug into the receptacle with the lock-tab 

oriented toward the bottom of the BASIS 922dz and push firmly until the connector 
locks into place (usually an audible “click” can be heard). Connect the other end to 
the appropriate QSControl.net network port.

Digital Audio Inputs

Four pair of AES/EBU inputs are provided through a DB-25 style connector. Connec-
tion pin-out is printed on the rear label for reference. AES/EBU sample rate must 
be 48KHz and is internally synchronized.

Omni In

The

 

six

 Omni In

 

connectors are two-pin terminal block connectors. They accept 

contact closure, TTL logic signals, 0-5 VDC control voltages, or 10k ohm variable 
resistors. The contact closure and logic devices accommodate on/off or state-
change events; the variable resistor input provides full 8-bit resolution allowing for 
incremental-change events. Refer to the illustrations for connection recommenda-
tions. NOTE! +48 volts is the absolute maximum that can be applied to the + pin 
without damage. Voltage is with respect to chassis or the - pin.

Logic Out

The

 

four 

Logic Out

 

connectors are two-pin terminal block connectors. They pro-

vide CMOS logic level compatible signals for external devices.

Relay Out

Two sets of relay contacts are provided, 

RELAY OUT 1

 and 

RELAY OUT 2

. Con-

tacts are floating and rated for 30VDC, 1A. There is one common terminal, one nor-
mally-closed contact terminal and one normally-open contact terminal. These are 
labeled as 

C, NC

 and 

NO

 on the rear panel. When the relay is not energized, the

 

C

 

terminal is connected to the 

NC

 terminal and the 

NO

 

terminal is not connected; 

when the relay is energized the 

C

 to 

NC

 connection is opened and the 

to 

NO

 con-

nection is closed.

be a switch or 
relay contacts. 
These inputs can 
operate software

tive (-) terminal is 
at chassis poten-
tial.
