Table 2 – balanced i/O RJ45
‘LINE' inputs are unbalanced with “RCA” connectors.
Equipment with outputs of -10 dBV @ 10 KOhms
can be connected (home type or semi-pro).
The GAIN control is common for balanced line and
unbalanced line (Line 1 and Line 2)
; for this reason,
may be necessary to adjust the gain when switch
the input.
2.4.2 MICROPHONE INPUTS
Microphone inputs are electronically balanced, using
XLR connectors.
DX-816:
has 3 MIC faders, but at the rear panel you’ll
find
5 XLR for MICs
. This is because inputs MIC-’N’
and MIC-’Nb’ share the pre-amp. This allows to man-
age simultaneously two inputs with one fader. Chan-
nel-2 manages MIC IN 2/2b and Channel-3, MIC IN
3/3b.
DX-822:
Has 6 MIC faders. Like the 816, offer the op-
tion of use two mics over a same fader. Channel-2
manages MIC IN 2/2b; Channel-3, MIC IN 3/3b;
Channel-5 MIC IN 5/5b and Channel-6 MIC IN 6/6b.
If two microphones will be used on a same channel,
they must be dynamic type and preferably of same
brand and model.
Figure 4: Microphone inputs
The button
“48V”
at the front panel enables the
Phantom Power supply to the main mic inputs MIC-
1, MIC-2, and MIC-3 (and mic 4 ,5 and 6 for DX-822) .
Phantom power is not available on MIC-2b, MIC-3b,
MIC-5b and MIC-6b.
2.5 Audio outputs
Figure 5: Rear panel: outputs, phone lines, AoIP
The main output is
PROGRAM
(PGM)
.
Is the mix sig-
nal that will be emitted. The PGM mix is available in
several ways:
•
A RJ45 [4] connector
gives
balanced PGM.
Used
to carry out the analog signal to the audio pro-
cessor or to an STL. The audio processors Soli-
dyne 362HD and 542APC comes with RJ45 bal-
anced inputs, which simplifies the wiring. The
pinout is the same used for the balanced inputs.
Please refers to
2.3.1 - Line Inputs
•
The jack
TRS [6]
gives
unbalanced stereo
PGM.
•
PGM also is available via USB
at the computer
connected to Channel-6.
•
In models with the option AoIP, PGM is available
over Ethernet (PCM, MP3).
The
recording output
(REC) is available in multiple
ways: balanced stereo on RJ45
[5]
; unbalanced
stereo on TRS
[6]
; via USB Channel-7 and over Ether-
net in models with two AoIP modules.
NEVER USE MONO PLUG`S (TS) TO CON-
NECT STEREO TRS OUTPUTS
.
The nominal output level is + 4dBu @ 0VU. When
the balanced outputs are connected as unbalanced,
the level drops 6 dB, therefore 0VU = -2dBu.
If a device with an input level of -10 dBV is con-
nected to the console output, it may happen
that the output level is too high, causing satura-
tion. In these cases, a fixed attenuator should
be used to reduce the level (a resistive divider).
The
"Audio Out to Bal Line 1" [10]
output is only
available on units equipped with the optional
/AoIP
.
It is a balanced analog output that sends decoded
audio from incoming streaming.
