Audio Connections - DigiDesign D-Control Manual

Audio Connections

D-Control monitoring is based on the XMON analog interface, which is remotely controlled from the D-Control monitoring sec-
tion. All external analog audio inputs and outputs for control room monitoring and studio communication are connected to the
XMON interface.
XMON provides 18V phantom for its three external mic inputs (External Talkback Mic, Listen Mic 1, Listen Mic 2).
All audio connections are made with standard DB-25 connectors. The back panel of the XMON is shown in Figure 49.
