All connections to Outstations can be made using standard 3-pin XLR
(mic) cables. TheatreCue
can be set up and operated over a combined
total distance of up to 1000 metres (3000ft) when using the highest possi-

cable exists.
Up to 8 Main Units can be linked also, providing for control of up to 112
Outstations if required (refer figure 2).
