LOCAL (BOOTH) MONITOR OUTPUTS

   A pair of 3 pole TRS jack sockets provide left 

and right outputs from the console local monitor system.  These are impedance balanced 
and can be connected to balanced or unbalanced equipment as shown above.  Nominal 
operating level is –2dBu but gain is available to drive +4dBu if required.  Independent 
control is provided for the local and the headphones monitor systems.  This output 
typically feeds the DJ booth monitor with the music only mix, and Cue if required. 

HEADPHONES 2 OUTPUT

   Two outputs are available for stereo headphones, one on 

the front panel, the other on the rear panel.  This is convenient for permanent installation 
or when two headphones are required at the same time, for example presenter and guest 
in a broadcast application.  The same signal is available from both.  Headphones are 
available in many different styles, impedances and volume ratings.  To get the best from 
your system we recommend that you use high quality closed ear headphones in the 
range 30 to 600 ohms.  8 Ohm headphones are not recommended. 

 WARNING

     

Some headphones are more sensitive than others and can 

produce higher output levels.  To avoid damage to your hearing start with the 
PHONES level control at minimum and turn up only as much as is needed to 
maintain comfortable listening level.  Do not drive headphones at high listening 
levels for long periods of time.

SYS-LINK OUTPUT

   The console is supplied with a blank plate fitted here.  An optional 

kit of parts is available to install a 25 pin D-connector and circuit card which provides all 
console outputs on a single connector.  This is convenient when connecting the 

XONE:464

 as an expander to another console.  Use a standard 25 pin one-to-one 

shielded cable to plug this output into any Allen & Heath console fitted with SYS-LINK 
input.  Alternatively wire a custom cable as required.  SYS-LINK operates unbalanced at 
–2dBu and is not intended for long cable runs.  Note that SYS-LINK input is not available 
on the 

XONE:464

.  Contact your Allen & Heath agent for further details. 

USER CONNECTOR

   The console is supplied with a blank plate fitted here.  A 25 pin D-

connector may be installed and custom wired to satisfy the particular requirements of the 
application.  The installation of this connector should be carried out only by qualified 
personnel.  Contact your agent for further details.
