This product complies with the European Electromagnetic Compatibility directives 89/336/EEC & 92/31/EEC and the European Low Voltage Directives 73/23/EEC & 93/68/EEC. This product has been tested to EN55103 Parts 1 & 2 1996 for use in Environments E1, E2, E3, and E4 to demonstrate compliance with the protection requirements in the European EMC directive 89/336/EEC. [. . . ] With nothing inserted, the jumper plugs must be plugged in as shown so that the send signals are passed on to the return inputs. Use RCA phono cables to connect the insert send (SND) to the equipment input, and to connect the equipment output back to the insert return (RTN). Make sure the equipment is set to operate around 0dBu and has 0dB (unity) gain from its input to output. RTN SND RTN Important ! Make sure the jumper plugs are pressed fully in. To ensure the fine standard of sonic performance for which the XONE:V6 has been designed, use only the highest grade professional cables. Avoid the use of domestic grade cables. A note about cables 14 XONE:V6 User Guide Microphone Connectors MIC INPUT The microphone input is used for the DJ microphone. A hi-pass filter is built in to reduce low frequency handling noise, popping and proximity effect. An insert point is provided for patching in processors such as a compressor. Mic input MIC INSERT Balanced XLR, pin 2 hot. We recommend you use a rugged, professional grade, dynamic microphone specifically designed for the vocal application. This should be low impedance (less than 600 ohms), balanced and have a cardioid (directional) response to avoid feedback problems. Phantom power MIC TO BOOTH An internal option jumper is provided to select +30V to the XLR pins for use with microphones which require phantom power. Check the mic manufacturer's specification regarding these power requirements. WARNING Do not connect unbalanced sources or cables to the XLR input when phantom power is applied. To avoid loud clicks always turn the mic level down before plugging or unplugging phantom powered microphones. 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. Adjust the external equipment to operate around 0dBu and with 0dB (unity) gain from its input to output. XONE:V6 User Guide 15 MASTER INSERT 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. R MASTER OUT -2dBu L 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. Adjust the external equipment to operate around -2dBu and with 0dB (unity) gain from its input to output. R MASTER OUT 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. 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. XLR output L R WARNING! FOR BALANCED CONNECTION ONLY. FOR UNBALANCED OPERATION USE JACK OUTPUTS TRS output Impedance balanced, wired tip hot. [. . . ] This requires that the console be unplugged and removed from its installation furniture. All the jumpers are accessible without removal of any internal assemblies. Before starting Unplug the power unit. Ensure you have a suitably sized, clean work space with adequate lighting. Take care not to damage the panels or internal assemblies during the process. [. . . ]
