In the event of a fault during the warranty period the unit must be returned to your local distributor who will arrange for it to be shipped to Solid State Logic for repair. All units should be shipped to Solid State Logic in their original packaging.
Safety Earth Connection Any mains powered item of Solid State Logic equipment that is supplied with a 3-core mains lead (whether connectorised or not) should always have the earth wire connected to the mains supply ground. This is the safety earth and grounds the exposed metal parts of the racks and cases and should not be removed for any reason.

Mains Supply and Phases Solid State Logic equipment is designed for connection to single phase supplies with the Neutral conductor at earth potential - category TN - and is fitted with a protective fuse in the Live conductor only. It is not designed for use with Phase (Live) and Neutral connections reversed or where the Neutral conductor is not at earth potential (TT or IT supplies).

Note that where the mains voltage is a nominal 230V, the ‘240V Setting’ should be used – not the ‘230V Setting’! Page 6 Mains Input Module 2 3 0...
3.0 Installation Voltage Selection Before connecting the mains supply ensure that the voltage range selector next to the IEC socket on the rear of the unit is correctly set. The input setting must be confirmed before applying power. The input module can be configured to be one of 4 voltage settings.
Mic Amp unit. If the console if wired with DL connectors then a DL to 25 way ‘D’ type male adaptor cable will be required. Interconnecting cables may be ordered from Solid State Logic or supplied by the facility. See the block diagrams opposite. Appendix B contains pinouts for all connectors. Appendix B also includes wiring information to build an adaptor cable to connect the audio and control DLs to 25 way ‘D’...

5 network cable(s) with a minimum conductor size of 26AWG. Use of 24AWG cable allows the cable to be extended to a maximum of 200 metres. To ensure compliance with EU EMC regulations Solid State Logic recommend fitting a ferrite bead close to each end of the cable.

Configuring the XLogic Mic Amp There are a number of internal link settings, most of which should not normally require adjustment – see Appendix A for a full listing. Those links that change the operation of the unit are described below. Setting the Channel Displays If the unit is connected to an XL 9000 console the 5 address bits on the 25 way ‘D’...

The XLogic Mic Amp is a 1U rack mounting unit containing four ultra high quality microphone amplifiers, utilising Solid State Logic’s Super Analogue technology. The unit can be controlled locally, from the XLogic Mic Amp Remote unit or from an XL 9000 console, allowing the mic amp to be placed close the microphone in order to eliminate the signal degradation caused by long mic cables.

Appendix A – Internal links and fuses Fuses (Mains Inlet) The mains inlet contains a single 1 amp 1.25" time delay fuse (SSL Part No. 35FJJ310). To change it disconnect the mains inlet, then using a small screwdriver prise open the mains selector cover. This contains the fuse. Test and replace with the same type and value if necessary.

THD + Noise In all cases THD is essentially unmeasurable, being less than the inherent noise of the amplifier until the output level exceeds +20dBu. Note: All THD+N measurements at gains above +30dB made using 40dB resistive pad to minimise effect of generator noise at low signal levels.
XLogic Mic Amp Owner’s Manual Appendix D – Calibration Information The XLogic Mic Amp is factory calibrated and should only need calibration if a potentiometer or other component has been replaced or if it is suspected that there is a problem with calibration. In all of the following instructions it is assumed that the top cover has been removed and that power has been applied.
