Master Connectors
The master mix to feed the house system is available on two pairs of sockets,
XLR and TRS. A pre-EQ insert point is provided for patching in processors
such as house equaliser and protection limiter.
Insert Unbalanced TRS (stereo) jack wired tip = send, ring = return, sleeve
= common ground. With nothing plugged in the signal is passed through
internal switch contacts within the socket. The insert operates at -2dBu. Adjust
the external equipment to operate around -2dBu and with 0dB (unity) gain from
its input to output.
XLR output Electronically balanced, wired pin 2 hot. Output level is
+4dBu when the MASTER level control is fully clockwise and the VU meters
read ‘0’. Note that this can be changed to 0dBu by resetting internal option
jumpers. The XLR output is designed to operate with balanced equipment
such as speaker processors and amplifiers.
Only use the XLR output with balanced equipment. Do not short the
pin 2 or pin 3 signals to ground as this will degrade the performance. For
unbalanced connection use the TRS jack output.
TRS output Impedance balanced, wired tip hot. Output level is -2dBu
when the MASTER level is fully clockwise and the VU meters read ‘0’. The TRS
output can work with balanced or unbalanced equipment. It can be the main
house feed, or it can provide an additional zone or auxiliary feed when the XLR
output is used.
