Audio Connection - Solid State Logic Duality SE Installation Manual

Section 4
Audio Connections – No Patchbay
All audio connections are made at the rear of the console. The majority of line level input and output connections are
made using high quality 25-pin D-type female connectors – some ancillary circuits are accessed using 1/4" jack and XLRs.
All Microphone inputs are via 3-pin XLR female connectors.
• All audio circuits are balanced.
• All cable screen pins are connected to the console chassis.
• All XLRs are wired using pin 2 as the non-inverting leg ('2-hot').
• The binding posts for the 25-way D-type connectors use the UNC 4-40 thread.
The audio cabling for the channel bays can be routed down the back of the nearest leg; it is possible, with care, to locate
all cabling for a 48-channel console within one leg. The Centre section cabling can be routed down its own leg or split
between the nearest channel bays.
Refer to Appendix C page 44 for the connector pinouts.
Channel connections
The I/O connectors for each 24-channel bay are arranged into three repeating 8-channel groups. Each group consists of
