Connecting Mix1,2 Outputs; Connecting Auxiliary Outputs - ALLEN & HEATH XONE 464 User Manual

Connecting Mix1 and Mix2 Outputs
INSERT Both MIX1 and MIX2 provide insert points for left and right channels. You do
not need to plug anything into the insert socket for normal operation. It is a break point
that lets you plug in an external signal processor such as a limiter or equaliser if required.
Plugging in a jack breaks the signal path after the buss mix amp and before the master
fader. The signal is unbalanced and operates at a nominal –2dBu line level. Use a TRS
jack wired as shown above to connect the SEND to the processor input and the RETURN
from the processor output. The sleeve provides the common ground for cable screening.
Use a TRS Y-adapter and two standard jack leads or wire two leads to a TRS plug.
L,R XLR OUTPUTS The Mix1 and Mix2 main left and right outputs are on balanced XLR
connectors.
balanced equipment for maximum interference rejection on long cable runs. To connect
to unbalanced equipment link Pin 3 to Pin 1 in the XLR plug as shown. Alternatively use
the unbalanced RCA phono outputs. Signal level is a nominal +4dBu (0 on the meters).
These outputs typically feed the main amplifier/speaker systems or stereo DJ to large
FOH console.
Typically this could provide a music only zone or clean feed.
L,R RCA OUTPUTS These are intended for connection to recorders but can be used as
additional zone feeds, or as an alternative to the XLR outputs, for example when
connecting to domestic hi-fi amplifiers.

socket. These are impedance balanced to reduce noise pickup on long cable runs.
Connect to balanced or unbalanced equipment as shown above. Nominal operating level
is –2dBu but gain is available using the send master control to drive +4dBu if required.
Use pre-fade auxes to feed stage monitor, foldback and cue systems. Use post-fade
auxes to feed effects processors such as reverb, and to provide independent zone,
cleanfeed and recording feeds.
