Operating the Rubicon R10s

11

The Ins and The Outs

The R10s features both balanced and 
unbalanced line level inputs and outputs 
so that connection with passive or active 
satellites is easy. It is recommended that 
you use the balanced line inputs and out-
puts to interface the R10s with active mon-
itors like the Rubicon 5a or 6a’s. See page 
16 for a detailed cable wiring diagram.

UNBALANCED INPUTS

Unbalanced connections can be made 
using the female RCA connectors.

Note:

 In order to get the lowest amount of 

induced noise and hum, use the Balanced 
connectors whenever possible.

BALANCED INPUTS

If you want to connect your mixer using 
balanced line level signals, use the female 
XLR connectors.

 UNBALANCED OUTPUTS

 

These female RCA connectors send unbal-
anced line level signals to powered satellite 
speakers or an amplifier connected to pas-
sive satellites.

 BALANCED OUTPUTS

 

Male XLR connectors that send the balanced line 
level signals to powered satellite speakers or an 
amplifier connected to passive satellites.

SUB BYPASS JACK 

The Sub Bypass jack provides a switch closure 
to activate R10s’s internal mute circuit.  By using 
a standard footswitch that you can buy at your 
local music store or by making a cable with a 
switch, or even by  wiring a switch permanently 
in the mix area, the R10s can be easily turned on 
and off. 

AC INLET 

Connect the supplied IEC power cable here.  Be 
sure that the power switch is in the OFF position 
when connecting the AC cord.
