Advanced installation 

 

 

 

2.1 Power supply 

  The  AC  voltage  variation  must  stay  smaller  to 

10%. Otherwise, uses an UPS. 
 

 

Always

 CHECK

 the correct position of the 

VOLTAGE SELECTOR 

(200/240 V o 100/130 

V, according to the country) 

 

AC  wires  do  not  have  to  be  mixed  with  audio 
wires, especially with analogical ones. 

Remember that all audio installation must 
have  a  trustworthy  grounding.  We 
recommend 

accomplishing 

with 

the 

effective  norms  -  Article  810  of  the  National 
Electricity Code (NEC); ANSI/NFPA Nº 70-1984 in 
USA;  IRAM  2379  and  2281-3  in  Argentina.  This 
norm  provides  information  and  guidelines  for  a 
consistent grounding. 

 

2.2 On mount ing 

  462dsp  can  be  mounted  in  a  standard  rack  of 

19”;  or  can  be  used  on  a  table.  Rubber  tops  are 
provided  with  the  unit.  Do  not  place  the  unit  on 
unstable surface or shelf; the apparatus could fall, 
causing damages to someone and to be damaged 
the unit. 

  The  ambient  temperature  must  stay  between 

5ºC and 40ºC. Avoid direct solar ray incidence on 
the processor or proximity of heat sources. 

  The openings and grooves allow the circulation 

of air inside the unit. These openings do not have 
to  be  blocked  nor  covered,  not  to  obstruct  the 
refrigeration of the internal components. 

  462dsp  has  internal  protection  against  RF 

fields,  which  allows  locate  it  next  to  transmitters 

(AM  or  FM).  Avoid  strong  electromagnetic  fields 
(power transformers, big motors, etc). 
 

2.3 Analogical audio connections  

Inputs  and  outputs  are  electronically  balanced. 
The  inputs  are  “bridging”  type,  with  impedance 
greater than 10 KOhms. The connectors used, as 
is  standard,  are  female  XLR-3  for  the  inputs  and 
male for the outputs. 

 

Take specially care with the phase.

 

 

  Use  one  pair  shielded  audio  cables  of  GOOD 

QUALITY,  preferably  with  double  shielding.  The 
maximum  length  recommended  is  30  meters, 
although in special cases it is possible to achieve 
100  meters  accepting  a  little  loss  at  high 
frequencies. 

  The  connection  of  this  cables  are  made  as  is 

standard. See the following table: 

Balanced input/output connections: 

1 = GND 
2 = balanced positive phase (+)   
3 = balanced negative phase (-) 

Unbalanced connection:  

Inputs: 

Signal = 2

;  

               

Ground = joint 1 and 3

 

Outputs:

 Signal to pin 2; leave 

pin-3 unconnected

.  

 

Ground

 

= pin 1
