1. Hardware Configuration

Out of the Box:

a. What Comes Supplied With My 9000 Series Unit?

Generally, ALL 9000 Series mixers are packaged with the following accessories:

6

•

IEC Power cord

•

Removable control block connector (for Volume 1-2 & control In/Out 1-4)…

•

Rack-mount

ears

(Yey!)

•

Blank panels for all module slots

except

for module slot #1.

•

Quick Start Guide for MIXER & MATRIX modes

•

CD-ROM containing operations manuals (pdf) for Mixer & Matrix modes, plus

GUI & Excel programming software and Maintenance PC application.

•

5 Year Warranty

•

There are additional phoenix connectors provided as well. However, these may

vary slightly by model:

o

M9000

: (2) 3-conductor Phoenix connectors (for

Channels 1 & 2 balanced line
outputs)………………………………………....................

o

A-9060DH, 9120DH & 9120DL

: (1) four-conductor

phoenix connector (for Channels 1 & 2 speaker
outputs)……………………………………………………..

o

A-9060S, 9120S & 9240S

:

(1) Balanced Phoenix connector (Channel 2 line
output)………………………………………………………
(1) Two-wire phoenix connector (Channel 1 Speaker
output)……………………………………………………………..

b. What State is the 9000 Series in when it is first Powered On?

•

Currently, the 9000 Series in all its forms comes out of the box

set to MIXER

Mode

.

However, when first powered on,

all

inputs feed

all

outputs (how many

depending on which modules are installed).

This enables you to test the audio

through-put (all sources and all zones) without the need for programming. Once
audio has been verified, you can proceed to program the unit for your particular
needs.

Note: When starting the unit in MATRIX mode, this also occurs,

BUT-be aware-this is a one time only offer-

ONCE YOU’VE ENTERED THE

MENU OR BEGIN TO CHANGE ANY PARAMETER, THE UNIT GOES TO
MATRIX MODE AND AUDIO ROUTING DISENGAGES (until you program the
signal routing events into it).
