Mount the jacks and hardware:
1. Install the digital input jacks that you will be using.
Do not install a USB Adapter or an I2S cable or Adapter at this time.
2. Install a male XLR connector in each of the two output locations.
3.
Mount an RCA jack in each of the two output locations. Position the red washer on the
outside of the right jack and the white washer on the outside of the left jack.
4. Install the DPDT toggle switch in the “RCA/XLR” location.
Position the switch so the toggle alternates between the “RCA” and “XLR”.
5. Install the fuse in the power connector. Note that there is also a place for the spare fuse in the
fuse holder.
6. Install the power connector from the inside of the panel. Orient the connector such that the
fuse is on the bottom, and secure with two 4-40 x
⅜ ” screws and nuts.
7.
Install the solder lug on the inside of the panel, in the hole adjacent to the power connector.
Secure with a 4mm screw and nut. Orient the solder tab away from the power connector and
form the solder tab at a 90-degree angle away from the panel.

Wire the power connector:
8. Wire the safety ground:
This wire will be used a single-point chassis ground buss to which other wires are soldered.
•
Strip the insulation from the 2½” piece of #18 solid wire so that it is bare.
•
Connect one end of this wire to the top (center from the outside) terminal on the power
connector.
•
Dress the wire straight to the side and then down toward the solder lug. Connect the wire
to the tab on the solder lug.
•
Solder both ends of the wire.
•
Tin the wire by flowing solder over the whole length.
The “hot” and “neutral” pins will be wired later.
