Connecting Two Mixing Consoles
This is the most basic OX8 set up and allows the
MAIN PA and MONITOR consoles to have ac-
cess to the stage microphone signals.
The MAIN PA console connects to the DIRECT
output and supplies 48V phantom power to the
mics and active direct boxes.
The MONITOR console uses the ISOLATED out-
put and is therefore electrically decoupled from
the first console. The MONITOR console may be
powered from a separate AC-mains circuit with-
out creating ground loops.
Connecting Three Mixing Consoles
This advanced setup connects three consoles to
an OX8.
The MAIN PA console connects to the DIRECT
output and the MONITOR console to the auxil-
iary DIRECT with LIFT output. In order to avoid
hum and buzz from ground loops these consoles
should be powered from the same AC main cir-
cuit or a power distribution system designed to
prevent ground loops from forming.
A third RECORDING console connects to the iso-
lated output and is therefore electrically decou-
pled from the MAIN PA and MONITOR consoles.
The RECORDING console may be powered from
a separate AC mains circuit without creating
ground loops.
