User's Manual ACCESSING INTERNALS 6.1. Opening the device Required: Torx T10 screwdriver. Power off the device and detach all cables to avoid short-circuit or damage. Detach the device from the rack-mount kit. Remove the four top screws and the top cover by pulling it upwards: ... -
Page 13: Variable Db25 Pinout
FLX-AES3 6.4. Variable DB25 pinout Historically, there are two different pin assignments for the AES/EBU DB25 connectors around, commonly known as "Yamaha" and "Tascam" style. The FLX- AES3 supports both pinouts by means of internal jumpers. Pinout can be set for both ports independently, meaning you could use the FLX-AES3 as cabling adapter. -
