Connections

AC Power Cord

Insert the molded receptacle of the AC power cord into the AC power inlet 
on the back of the RAVE 522ua. Plug the AC line connector into the AC out-
let. 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 the one supplied with your 522ua, contact 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 RAVE 522ua 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 RAVE 522ua 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.

Analog Universal Audio Inputs

Eight balanced audio inputs are provided, 

CH 1 INPUT

 - 

CH 8 INPUT

They accept everything from mic level to line level signals and are 
equipped with software-sele48V phantom power. Plug the input 
signal terminal block connectors into the input receptacles. Connection 
pin-out is printed on the rear label for reference. Refer to the illustrations 
for balanced and unbalanced connections. Use balanced audio inputs 
whenever possible.

Each input has software-sele48V phantom 
power. Use caution when connecting equipment (par-
ticulary unbalanced equipment).

Analog Outputs

Eight balanced audio inputs are provided, 

CH 1 OUTPUT - CH 8 OUTPUT.

 

Plug the output signal terminal block connectors into the output recepta-
cles. Connection pin-out is printed on the rear label for reference. Refer to 
the illustrations for balanced and unbalanced connections. Use balanced 
audio inputs whenever possible.

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 accommo-
date on/off or state-change events; the variable resistor input provides full 
8-bit resolution allowing for incremental-change events. Refer to the illus-
trations for connection recommendations. 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 provide CMOS logic level compatible signals for external devices.

Analog audio input and out-
put- balanced connection.

Logic Out connections. 
Negative (-) terminal is at 
chassis potential. Positive 
(+) terminal logic level is 
switched using software.

CobraNet and QSControl 
connection. Accepts rug-
gedized or normal shell-
less RJ45 plugs.

Omni In connections. Vari-
able input must be 10k ohm 
variable resistor. Contact 
closure input can be a 
switch or relay contacts. 
These inputs can operate 
software “devices”. Nega-
tive (-) terminal is at chas-
sis potential.

Analog audio input and 
output- unbalanced con-
nection. Note jumper wire 
between - and ground.
