Connection Requirements

Power Connections
Each VENUE component requires its own power connection
for primary and redundant power (if applicable).
Make sure your power source is correctly rated for the number
of units you are connecting. A surge-protected power source
(not included) is highly recommended.
VENUE Profile power supplies are capable of operating at 50 to
60 Hz across a voltage range of 100 to 240 V.
FOH Link Connection
Connection between the VENUE Profile console and the
Mix Rack or FOH Rack is made with the provided FOH Link
cable. For replacement cables, contact Digidesign Customer
Service or your VENUE dealer.
For more information, see the VENUE FOH Rack Guide.
Audio Connections
All VENUE Profile system analog audio inputs and outputs
(except Headphones) are balanced XLR or balanced 1/4-inch
connections.
All external digital audio inputs and outputs are AES/EBU
(XLR), ADAT (Lightpipe) or S/PDIF (RCA) connections.
For more information on audio connectors and specifica-
tions, see Chapter 26, "Audio Specifications."
Snake Connections
VENUE Mix Rack Systems
For Mix Rack, an analog multicore snake (not provided) is rec-
ommended to bring inputs from stage to the mix position,
and return outputs back to the stage for monitor and mains
amplification.
VENUE Profile Systems
Connection between the FOH Rack and the Stage Rack is made
with the Digital Snake cable (not included). Cables can be pur-
chased directly from Digidesign or assembled by your pre-
ferred vendor. For Snake cable specifications and require-
ments, see the VENUE Stage Rack Guide.
