Back Panel - Martin Audio DX0.6 User Manual

Back panel

1. Power. To turn the unit on, plug it in and press this
switch to "I". To turn it off, press this switch to "O".
When the unit is on, the LCD display on the front
panel lights up.
This unit remembers any setting changes, so when
you switch the unit on, the unit restarts with the same
settings as when you switched it off.
The unit uses relays on the outputs to prevent
unwanted pops and noise in the system when you
switch it on and off. When you switch it on, the unit
initializes and the relays switch. Any live outputs will
smoothly fade from silence to the configured output
levels.
2. Power lead socket. This IEC input is where you plug
in the detachable power cable supplied with your
processor. Plug the other end into an AC outlet. If the
cable has the wrong mains plug, either use a safety
approved IEC cable with the correct plug or ask a
qualified electrician to change the plug. Note that
the power cable has live, neutral and earth (ground)
connected.
Don't disconnect the earth
connection. This could be
dangerous.
The processor can accept voltages from 100V to
240V AC at frequencies of 50 to 60Hz. You don't need
to adjust anything on the unit.
3. Ethernet. The Ethernet port is a standard RJ45 port.
This allows you to connect to an Ethernet network
with dynamic or static IP. For details, see
your processor and computer (page
9
As with most Ethernet ports, there are two LEDs that
show the connection state and the network activity.
4. RS485. The upper RJ45 port (labelled IN) allows
you to connect to an RS485 network. If you have
several processors, you can use the lower RJ45 port
(labelled OUT) to "daisy-chain" the units. For details,
see
6).
The connection uses pins 1 and 2 which are colour
coded Orange/white and Orange on standard Cat5e
cable.
5. XLR Outputs. The six male XLR connectors provide
an impedance balanced line-level signal for each of
the output channels. Connect cables between these
connectors and the inputs of your power amplifiers or
powered loudspeakers.
Pin 2 is + or "hot", pin 3 is – or "cold" and pin 1
is ground. Connections to unbalanced sources should
have signal to pin 2 and ground to pins 1 and 3.
For example connection set ups, see
systems (page
6. XLR Inputs. The two female XLR connectors accept a
balanced line-level input from a mixer or other source.
Pin 2 is + or "hot", pin 3 is – or "cold" and pin 1 is
ground. Connections from unbalanced sources should
have signal to pin 2 and ground to pins 1 and 3.
For example connection set ups, see
