Analog/Digital Audio Inputs
The Fusion supports both analog and digital audio inputs. The right side of the Fusion has eight analog XLR inputs.
The AES digital input connector is on the left side of the Fusion and requires the optional breakout cable.
Each of the eight analog inputs can be used with a mic- or line-level signal. See the
Right Side Description
{
p.27
}
for the location of these connectors.
The Fusion has an optional AES input cable, with a DB-15 connector. This cable connects to the left side of the
Fusion. See the
Left Side Description
{
p.26
} for the location of this connector.
The DB-15 connector fans out to four separate XLR style inputs. Each input is a stereo pair (Input 1,2; Input 3,4;
Input 5,6; Input 7,8). You can use any combination of these inputs with your Fusion. The input number is written
on each cable. You can assign these inputs to any channel or combinations of channels.
A breakout cable can be purchased from Zaxcom as an option, or through many retailers. A wiring diagram for
the connector is provided in this manual if you want to manufacture your own breakout cable (see Chapter 9).
CAUTION:
Prior to connecting any analog input to the Fusion, you should ensure the mic/line input connectors
are setup correctly in the
Input Configure page (Analog Inputs selected)
{
p.80
}. When connecting
microphones, you should always connect them with the Fusion powered down (turned OFF).
The
Input Configure page (Analog Inputs selected)
