Axxent GPX 2500 Operation Manual

GPX-2500 setup and operation

When opening the box, you should find:
• The mixer GPX-2500
• The 19" rack mount brackets (pre-installed)
• Equalizer protective cover plate (pre-installed)
• Two adapters: phone/RCA for the front line inputs
• Powercord
Unit dimensions:
435 mm x 280 mm x 88 mm (without rack mount brackets)
Weight: 10.4 kg net, 13 kg shipping
After unpacking the mixer please plug in the delivered
power cord into the power input jack of the unit. Before
connecting the mixer to the wall outlet, make sure that the
"POWER" switch on the right of the front side is in "OFF"
position. Also the main volume control (MASTER) should
be set fully counterclockwise ("0" position).
Attention: Due to safety reasons the case never should
be opened by the user. Beside, this also may void any
warranty claims!
Now you may connect the mixer to a wall mains outlet.
Please make sure you first switch on the GPX-2500 and then
the power amplifier. This way you avoid annoying audible
transient noise.

On the left hand side you will find the 3 pin XLR female con-
nectors (1), the microphone inputs for connecting balanced
microphones. Close by on the right is a recessed push
button (2) for activation of phantom power when using
condenser microphones. When dynamic microphones
are hooked up, the switch remains in the "OFF" position.
Please note, that the microphone inputs on the front and
on the rear side are used in parallel. This means that you
may either use the front- or the rear inputs, not both of the
XLR input pairs simultaneously.
Beneath the XLR inputs you will find two 1/4" phone jack
inputs (3). These are line level inputs, for example to con-
nect a stereo keyboard or a device for playback music. The
left phone jack is a stereo type (TRS) e.g. tip = left chan-
nel, ring = right channel input. When
using mono phone plugs connect
left and right plugs as printed on the
housing. In case you want to use a
cable with RCA connectors, we have
enclosed two suitable adapters in the
packaging for your convenience.
