Audio Connections

All connections to the AWS 900+ SE, with the exception of the two headphone jacks, are found on the lower rear
panels of the console. The headphone sockets are located on the centre-section knee panel.
The console rear panel carries a label which identifies all the connections on the connector panel, and provides
the pinout for each one (see facing page). This information is also provided in the Appendices section of this
manual.

Line Level Input/Outputs

All other analogue inputs and outputs can be connected via a patchbay. It is recommended that the cable shield is
connected at the console end and disconnected at the patch row to avoid ground loops. Wiring to the installation
should normally have the shield connected to the patch row. The shield connection of all jacks should be linked
together (note that patch rows with solid metal front panels will automatically do this) and then linked to a common star
point on the patchbay. This starpoint can then be returned – via a thick grounding cable (6mm sq. or greater) – to the
chassis stud on the rear of the AWS 900+ SE console. This will reduce the risk of earth loops within the installation.
Note that the shields of all analogue inputs and outputs other than the microphone inputs are connected directly
to the chassis of the AWS900+.
