Power Supply Installation
One of the primary reasons that the power supply of the XTRAMIX X6 is external is to
insure that the power circuitry enclosed within the power supply chassis maintains a safe
distance from the active electronics of the X6. For that matter, any device that has a strong
magnetic or RF power field should be kept at a reasonable distance from the X6 and its
audio cables.
Because the power supply does not use a cooling fan, it is silent and can be located in the
same room as the mixer. However, it is important that the ventilation holes are not
obstructed and that the unit is operated in free air to prevent overheating. Allow a
minimum of 4” (100mm) of clearance from all ventilation holes.
The Model PS7 external power supply that is included with your mixer is an auto-ranging
supply that can operate with mains voltages of 100 VAC, 120VAC, 220 VAC, 230 VAC, or
240 VAC 50/60 Hz. This power supply does not require a voltage selection switch.
Use only the PS7 external power supply that is supplied with your X6 mixer. Using any
other power supply or power source will most definitely damage the X6.
Your X6 is supplied with a 10’ (3m) gray DC power cable. Before connecting this cable
between the power supply and the X6 make certain the power switch is set to the “OFF”
position. To connect the power supply to the mixer, fit the 10 position connector on the DC
power cable to the chassis mount receptacle on the rear of the X6 labeled “DC POWER
INPUT”. Then fit the 6 position white connector on the DC power cable to the PS7 power
supply connecter labeled “DC OUTPUT”.
The respective connectors are keyed so the plug and the receptacle can fit in only one
direction.
