Connections
• When setting up the DriveRack Studio, make connections as follows:
• Always make connections prior to applying power to the unit.
• Connect the output from the sending device (mixer) to either of the two XLR
inputs connectors shown below.
• Make output connections from any one of the six output XLR connectors shown
below to the input of the selected mastering recorder, monitor pairs, power amps,
etc.
• If you will be "pinking" the room through the use of the RTA, connect the selected
RTA microphone to the front-panel XLR input, and press the RTA input button.
• IMPORTANT- It is imperative that the power amps /and or active monitors are turned off prior to cycling
power to the DriveRack Studio. Always make sure that these devices are the last item turned on and the first
turned off.
Once all of the connections have been made and the unit is powered up, you can
navigate through the entire signal path of the DriveRack Studio from the front panel
of the unit. The display provides you with a clear and concise overview of each
aspect of the signal path from the input to the output section.
