3.5 Connection to XLogic Mic Amp Remote
The XLogic Mic Amp Remote (see drawing on page 2) is a 1U panel, approximately 100mm deep. Each unit will
control one or two XLogic Mic Amp units (eight channels in total). It connects to each XLogic Mic Amp by two
shielded RJ45 cables and is powered from the XLogic Mic Amp. Four 20 metre cables are supplied with each
remote unit. These cables can be extended up to a maximum length of 100 metres using standard shielded Cat
5 network cable(s) with a minimum conductor size of 26AWG. Use of 24AWG cable allows the cable to be
extended to a maximum of 200 metres. To ensure compliance with EU EMC regulations Solid State Logic
recommend fitting a ferrite bead close to each end of the cable.
Note that these cables carry +12 volts to power the remote unit and must not be connected to your ethernet network. Serious
damage to the ethernet repeater may result if this is done.
If several units are to be mounted in the same rack then the headphone monitor and talkback bus should be
connected between the units by connecting the ‘MON IN’ and ‘MON OUT’ connectors on adjacent units, using
the supplied RJ11-RJ11 cable (SSL Part No.66C67240). The drawing in Section 3.5 shows this.
The headphone output monitors any channel selected to ‘MON’ plus an external talkback input. The talkback
input can be connected to a line level console talkback output if required. This signal is bussed between units on
the monitor link cables. Use an RJ11 to female XLR adaptor (SSL Part No. 66C67241) to connect talkback to a free
MON IN or MON OUT connector. One adaptor cable is supplied with each unit.
Once these connection have been made apply power to the unit(s). Ensure that the yellow ‘REMOTE’ LED on
the right of the front panel is on. If it is off use a small screwdriver or similar to turn on the recessed ‘REMOTE’
switch below the LED.
Check that the motorised pots and the remote controlled switches (Phase, –20dB and Hi-Z) operate correctly
from the Mic Amp Remote control unit when ‘REMOTE’ is selected and that they can be controlled locally when
‘REMOTE’ is not selected.
Finally connect the male XLR connectors on the rear of the unit to the line level inputs of your console or recorder
and your microphones to the XLR inputs on the front of the unit.
