- Tip = Signal Phase (“+” or “hot”).
- Screen = Ground.
Phones and Tape Outputs.
These outputs are unbalanced, stereo signals, on TRS jack connectors. The mating
connectors should be wired as follows:
- Sleeve = Ground (screen)
- Tip = Left channel
- Ring = Right channel.
Balanced XLR Outputs.
The outputs are via balanced, 3 pin male XLR connectors. The mating connectors
should be wired as follows:
- Pin 1 = Ground (screen),
- Pin 2 = Signal Phase (“+” or “hot”),
- Pin 3 = Signal Non-Phase (“-” or “cold”).
If an unbalanced output is required, pins 1 and 3 should both be connected to ground.
Ventilation.
The unit generates a moderate amount of heat internally, which should be allowed to
dissipate by convection through the grills in the front panel, which must not be
obstructed. Do not locate the unit where it will be subject to external heating, for
example, in the hot air flow from a power amplifier or on a radiator, or in direct
sunlight. Ensure that air is able to circulate freely around and under the unit. The Fat
Tracks power supply and power transformer has been mounted to the back of the unit
to dissipate the heat created by these parts away from the main console and circuitry
and ensuring that the unit stays cooler and maintains longevity.
The FAT TRACK has been designed for operation free standing on a tabletop.
