The 160S is connected for operation using the rear panel XLR connectors. Note that the two rear panel
input sections have a push-switch which lifts the contact on pin #1 (ground). Keep this switch in the
OFF position (pin #1 connected) until all connections are made. Be sure that your input and output
cables are wired in the “pin 2-hot” configuration, which is printed on the rear panel of the 160S. For
more information on other types of connections, refer to the section entitled
Operating Notes
.
When connecting the 160S, refer to the following steps:
• Turn OFF all equipment BEFORE making any connections.
• Mount the 160S in a 2U rack space. (Optional)
The 160S requires a two rack-space height and a standard 19 inch rack-
space width. It can be mounted above or below anything that doesn’t
create excessive heat, since it requires no special ventilation. Ambient
temperatures should not exceed 113°F (45°C) when equipment is pow-
ered.
Caution:
Never remove the cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• Make connections via XLR connectors.
• Plug in AC power cable and power ON the unit.
Note
:
Check the line voltage printed on the rear panel of the 160S and verify that it
is correct for your area.
Two Basic Compressor Setups:
A
:
Channel One shows processing of a
group or aux master output. Signal goes
to the 160S input from the output/insert
send of the console, and returns to the
console via the input/insert return of
the same group/aux on the console.
B
: Channel Two shows connections for
processing a signal from a single chan-
nel. Input of the 160S is fed by the
channel insert output/send, and returns
to the console via the insert
input/return.
