Local Rack Rear - SoundCraft VI6 User Manual

Local Rack Rear

The rear of the Local Rack gives access to the cards in the card frame, and to the XLR breakout box.
Primary Power Supply
The primary power supply connects directly to the IEC inlet and provides a full range ac inlet, converting
100V to 240V ac to 24V dc. The Local Rack can hold up to two power supplies, providing seamless redun-
dancy for those that require it. The rack fan control connection is also provided by one of the power sup-
plies.
XLR Breakout Box
This provides connectors for analogue and AES/EBU audio, and interfaces to the Line In cards, Line Out
cards, Mic card and AES/EBU Card within the Local Rack card frame. All the connectors on the Breakout
Box are of the XLR type.
It is possible to order the console without this part, in this case the user will have to provide suitable
cabling and connectors to interface with the appropriate Local Rack cards. A complete pin list is given later
in this chapter.
The Breakout Box connector labelling references are used by the patching system (see chapter 11) when
the user wishes to patch the connectors to input channels or output busses.
Audio I/O Cards
The following cards are supported.
1 X Mic/Line Input card providing four electronically balanced Mic/Line Input channels, each
with digitally-controlled analogue gain, a 80Hz low-cut filter, and phantom power.
2 X Line Input cards, each providing eight line input channels.
3 X Line Output cards, each providing eight line output channels.
