PHANTOM POWER jack

This 2.5mm PIN jack offers the ability to power Rocktron MIDI foot controllers from a
7-pin MIDI cable which connects from the Rocktron MIDI foot controller to the MIDI
IN jack on the rear panel of the Xpression

. This eliminates the need to find an AC outlet

near where the footpedal would be placed during a performance, or the need to run an
extension cord out to the footswitch. Instead of inserting the AC adaptor into the
"POWER" jack of the footswitch as you would normally, plug it into the "PHANTOM
POWER" jack on the Xpression

. This will power the Rocktron MIDI foot controller

through pins 6 and 7 of the MIDI cable connecting the two units. The Rocktron
RMM900 7-pin MIDI cable must be used in this operation and is available from your
Rocktron dealer.

6

MIDI IN jack

This 7-pin DIN connector must be connected to the MIDI OUT jack of the transmitting
MIDI device via a standard MIDI cable, or to the MIDI THRU jack of the preceding
MIDI device (if the Xpression

is within a chain of MIDI devices). Pins 6 and 7 of this

connector carry phantom power to power a Rocktron MIDI foot controller (MIDI
XChange, All Access and MIDI Mate) when a 7-pin MIDI cable is used.
