Audio and Control Wiring

All audio I/O connections to the AUDIOARTS 08 console are made via XLR, RCA
and R J -45 connectors located on the rear panel of the console.
Two XLR female connectors are provided to bring balanced mono microphone level
signals into the console for control by the first two (microphone) faders. These XLR
connectors are wired "pin 2 hot."
Six RJ-45 connectors are provided to bring balanced stereo line level signals into the
console for control by (line) faders three through six and eight. Four pairs of RCA jacks
are provided to bring unbalanced stereo line level signals into the console for control by
(line) faders three through six.
The MXM-TB OUT RJ-45 connector is provided to bring the stereo balanced line level
MXM output and the mono unbalanced line level TB OUT out of the console.
A stereo balanced CALLER input signal is provided on the CALLER IN RJ-45 con-
nector for fader seven. One pair of RCA jacks (CALLER) is provided to bring in an un-
balanced stereo CALLER signal. Note that most phone hybrids are mono, so if you are
using fader seven for a phone caller you will need to wire the mono caller signal to both
left and right inputs in parallel. If you are not using fader seven for a caller input you can
use it for a stereo source.
One pair of RCA jacks (EXT) is provided to bring an additional stereo line level signal
into the console for use by the monitor circuits.
One pair of RCA jacks is provided to bring stereo program output out of the console
as unbalanced -10dB signal. Two XLR male connectors are provided to bring the stereo
program output out of the console as balanced line level +4dBu signal.
One pair of RCA jacks is provided to bring the stereo monitor output out of the con-
sole as separate (left and right) unbalanced line level signals at a nominal level of -2dBu
(equivalent to one side of a balanced +4dBu output).
One pair of RCA jacks is provided to bring the mono cue (L) out of the console and
the talk in (R) to the console as an unbalanced line level signal (nominal -10dBu).
The TALLY OUT RJ-45 connector is provided to hook up an interface to an Air Tally
light. This output comes from a set of relay contacts and is designed to switch a low DC
voltage (30 VDC maximum) at a moderately low current (2 ADC maximum) to activate
a DC light, or to activate an external DC relay which can then be used to activate an AC
operated light. Never bring AC power into the console on this or any other connector.
The USB type B connector in the center of the rear panel is used for interfacing with
a computer (see page 2-5 for details).
A 5-pin DIN connector is provided to accept console power from the external power
supply.
There is also a phantom power 2.5mm +48V IN power jack as a way to connect external
power source (not provided) for condenser microphones and direct boxes.
