    Introduction Designed to integrate flawlessly with the E-Series Satellite Digital Audio Network router or WheatNet-IP Audio Over IP network, the E-6 control surfaces allow you to easily create large - or small - platform-based systems that are exceptionally user-friendly and flexible. The E-6 control surface has major market features: event recall, both bus-minus and mix-minus, and four aux mixes—all with dedicated talk-...

    Cutout dimensions (in inches) are shown in the drawings below for 6 available frame sizes. Do not connect the E-6 control surface to its power supply (and do not connect the power supply to the AC power line) until instructed to do so.

  • Page 14: Power Supply

    Rear view of the PSE-1 rackmount power supply The E-6 control surface is powered by a Wheatstone Model PSE-1 rackmount power supply. This unit occupies a single 19” wide rack space. Convection cooled, it requires ample ventilation space above and below it.

  • Page 15: Energizing

    I/O Connections All user wiring to and from the E-6 control surface is made via connectors located on the control surface’s rear panel. Two 2-pin “D-SUB 2V2” style connectors at the center of the control surface’s rear are for power supply connections. An external stereo, line level headphone signal plugs into the female DB-9 connector, located next to power supply connectors.

    Replacement Parts List ..............A-13 For the most part there are no user-replaceable parts in the E-6 control surface. Exceptions are those controls and components that in the course of normal use may need maintenance (i.e., faders, pots, ON switches, etc.). A complete list of available components is shown on the next page.
