Main (Left, Right and Mono) Mini XLR Outputs
The Solice Mini mixer is a two buss mixer and thus has two main balanced
outputs. The balanced outputs are located on the rear panel of the mixer and
utilize “mini” size 3 pin male XLR connectors. These outputs offer exceptional
headroom with a clipping level of approxi23dBv. Based on a nominal
output level of 0dBV, you still have 23dB of headroom before clipping occurs.
These balanced outputs are also very low noise for use with today’s modern
digital recorders. They offer an output impedance of 50 ohms and are designed
to operate into loads of 600 ohms or greater.
Auxiliary Output
The auxiliary output is a line level, balanced output. It can be used to feed
various devices such as a transmitter to transmit audio to a boom operator.
External Power Connection
The Solice Mini mixer is powered from any source of external DC with a voltage
range of 10 to 18Vdc. The Solice Mini is a negative ground chassis. External
power is applied to the Solice Mini mixer via the 4 pin male external power
connector located on the rear panel of the mixer. Pin 1 is Ground and Pin 4 is
10 to 18Vdc. The mixer will operate from +10 to +18 volts DC without any
adjustment or compromise in specifications. There are no advantages to
operating the mixer from 18 Vdc over that of 12Vdc as found on some other
designs. The mixer typically consumes approximately 7 watts (650mA @
13.8Vdc). The mixer will consume up to a worst case of about 10 watts when all
LEDs are lit. This is unlikely in normal use.
DO NOT SUPPLY THE SOLICE MINI MIXER WITH DC VOLTAGES THAT ARE
IN EXCESS OF 18VOLTS DC! DAMAGE TO THE MIXER WILL RESULT AND
THIS DAMAGE WILL NOT BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY.
Slate Output
The slate output feeds live slate microphone balanced audio at line level. This
can be used with some digital mixer/recorders that have a communications input.
When used this way, the slate microphone can be used for a communication
input and thus, you will not have to use an additional microphone for this
purpose.
