Such operation can lead to damage of the device’s components due to lack of air flow through the device. The device may not be serviced, altered or modified without authorisation from Optocore or an Optocore authorised distributor / dealer. Only qualified service personnel may carry out repair and maintenance work on the device.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case you will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Optocore GmbH could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
The X6R-TP with the dual microphone input card removes the problem where only one of the FOH or Monitor engineers can have full gain control of a single microphone input channel. Every microphone input incorporates two independent microphone preamps meaning both can be adjusted individually.
Up to 8 TP devices can be used in one SANE CAT5 daisy chain to extend OPTOCORE FX fiber node with up to 64 audio inputs and 64 audio outputs and additional 100Mbit LAN ports. Microphone preamps on the TP device can be controlled from any node in the fiber network as well as from the console running Emulation Mode.

Word Clock Devices with Optocore/SANE modules are equipped with an internal, high quality, low jitter clock generator as well as Word Clock inputs and outputs. Any device on the network can act as the master of the network and pass Word Clock to networked Optocore/SANE devices.
R-series FX device. All device parameters like gain, phantom and pad can be accessed and modified using OPTOCORE CONTROL software, which runs on PC connected via USB or RS232 to any FX device or via LAN to any LAN or SANE port.

> 40 dB between 30 MHz up to 1 GHz. The shield of the cable should have contact to the connector hood. USB-Connection Use a USB-A to USB-B cable between the PC and the Optocore device. LAN-Connection Use a standard twisted pair cable (Cat-5, Cat-6) with RJ-45 connectors.
Optocore ring. In this example there are three Optocore X6R-TP units: one with two mic input cards, second one works as a dual mic device, third X6R-TP with one input and one output analogue card. There is also one V3R-TP with one output card.
Example 2 X6R/V3R-TP devices are used mostly as a channel extension to main fibre optic Optocore network nodes. In this example two FX devices are connected with dual ring redundant network. X6R/V3R-TP devices are used as an analogue extension. On the one end three TP devices extend the channel count of X6R-FX unit. This group of devices can be used as a stage box with 40 microphone inputs and 16 line outputs.
