Page 7: 1073Opx Introduction
Up to eight 1073OPX units can be connected and controlled remotely, giving up to 64 Mic Preamplifiers, Line Level, or DI inputs, all managed from a single computer. The unit always powers up with all settings, levels and states as they were at power-down. -
Page 8: Rack Mount Instructions (English)
Rack Mount Instructions Elevated Operating Ambient- If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (30°C) specified by the manufacturer. -

180 phase flip. The DI circuit within the 1073OPX is a transformer-less class-A design. This uses an FET transistor to increase the impedance to 650Kohms, perfect for guitars, basses and keyboards. When connecting an instrument directly to the unit using the DI, set the level at +40db gain and adjust gain levels from this point. -

Front Panel POWER: Switches the unit on or off. The button will light when the unit is HP LEVEL: Controls the volume of the headphones and rear monitor outputs and attenuates from -35 to 0dB. Pressing the HP LEVEL control knob will cycle through the monitor sources indicated by the adjacent LEDs: Off/cut;... - Page 11 -25: Provides 25dB of attenuation to the input (applies to mic/line/DI, whichever is selected). The button will light when the pad is applied. LoZ: The default microphone input impedance is 1.3kΩ. Pressing the LoZ button will reconfigure the input for 300Ω input impedance. The button will light when LoZ is selected.

Page 13: Ad/Da Usb/Dante Card (Optional)
AD/DA USB/Dante card (Optional) The 1073OPX USB/DANTE card provides a digital interface for the 1073OPX and has 8 A/D preamplifier converters and 2 D/A monitor converters. By default, the post-gain amplified signal from the Mic/Line input is routed to the A/D inputs. If this digital board is not fitted, then the Sample Rate and Sync Source LEDs on the front of the unit will not light or function. -
Page 14: Monitoring
IN L and MONITOR IN R. These can be used to feed a monitor path from your audio interface into the 1073OPX unit. The Signal is fed into the units MON audio path and can be attenuated by -35dB via the HP LEVEL control. -
Page 15: Latency Free Monitoring
Latency Free Monitoring The 1073OPX monitor path can be fed from a combination of preamplifier output and monitor input signal sources. This enables latency free monitoring of preamp signals, allowing operators to record overdubs by listening to the input source directly pre-DAW. Users can blend the mic, line or DI preamplifier signals directly with the monitor or digital monitor signal for quick latency-free monitoring. - Page 16 Example 1 MON is selected and channel 1 gain encoder has been pressed. This activates channel 1 preamplifier output into the left monitor path. However, since the MONO button has also been pressed, both preamplifier output 1 and the monitor (MON) signal is sent as MONO to the headphone left and right and monitor (MONITOR OUT L &...

Page 17: Summing
Summing The Monitor output XLR connectors at the rear of the unit follow the front HP LEVEL monitor signal selection. This function gives users the ability to use the unit as a 4x stereo input analogue summing mixer. Users can pass audio signals through the 1073 line-level preamplifiers, combining them into the monitor path through the Left and Right Monitor output XLRs on the rear of the unit. -
