Patch bay:
In the
studio,
the 160XT may be
connected
to
a
patch
bay
to allow it
to be used anywhere
in
the studio
system.
Do not
ground
Pin
2 (or 3) of
the
XL-type
output connector (distortion can re-
sult).
If
yo
ur
stu
dio is not fully balanced
,
you
should leave
pin
2
disconnected
or
u
se
the
¼"
ph one
jack
output, which is single-€nded. An-
other option
is
to install
an output
tran sformer,
which

Figure 7: Connecting 160XTs for Sound
Reinforcement
D. Sound
reinforcement:
To
compress a live
mix
or
to protect loudspeak-
ers,
connect
the 160XT
between
the
source (mix-
ing board or
distribution amp) and
the power
amp(s).
If
multi-way loudspeakers with low-
level
electronic crossovers
are used, the
160XT(s) should go
after the
crossover(s).
Fig-
ure 7
shows
three
160XTs
used in
a
tri-amped
(multi-way) setup. For a stereo system, you can
separately stereo couple
the
two
high band
crossovers, low band
crossovers,
etc. (see
next
page). If
limitations require
that
you
u
se
a sin-
gle
160XT
before
a crossover, adding an equal-
izer to the
side chain
may provide
some
additional protection to
your
high frequency
component (see "Specific Applications,"
pag
e
21).
