The X-Panda Mono Channel Strip Inputs – Channel Input (CH IP), Alternate Input (ALT) Each one of the 8 mono channel inputs (CH IP) on the X- Panda has a choice of two Line Inputs. The first input is traditionally sourced from the Output of a microphone pre amplifier, D.I box or perhaps even a line level instrument.
Outputs - Direct Channel Outs (CH OP), Post Fader Each Mono channel of the X-Panda has a Direct Output. The Channel Direct Outputs (CH OP) are primarily used to feed the inputs of your chosen recorder or DAW. On the rear panel connection panel of X- Panda they are labelled “CHAN OUT 9-16 (1-8)”.
Channel Pan, Fader Cut & Solo At the base of the X-Panda Mono channel strip you will find traditional analogue desk functions. The channel stereo “PAN” control, which controls the channels Left/Right positioning on the Stereo Mix bus. The analogue signal level FADER, for feeding the Stereo Mix Bus or controlling the CH OP (Direct Channel Output) level.

Stereo Inputs – Channel Input (CH IP) The X-Panda Stereo Input channels (CH IP) feature a +/- 20 dB gain stereo Level Trim, indented in the centre at Unity Gain and a pair of independent Phase Reverse “Ø”...

Using X-Panda with an X-Rack Summing System Although not essential, a natural partner for the X-Panda is an SSL X-Rack. While some of the more obvious X-Rack modules such as the Mic Amp (XR621) or the VHD Input modules (XR627) would be suitable for recording various sources, and of course the X-Rack EQ and Dynamics modules, Superanalogue (XR625) &...
Racking your X-Panda Supplied with the X-Panda are 2x Racking “ears”. These can be simply fitted to the Desk by the use of 3x screws per side (included) thus facilitating 19” rack mounting of the X-Panda. We recommend 4x screws for securing an ear equipped X-Panda into a standard 19”...
