AC distribution, grounding, and shielding techniques. If the X.Sum is being installed into a larger studio or as a expander to a host console, it may be necessary to retain the services of someone experienced in these matters. - Page 12 Electronic equipment such as power amplifiers, power supplies (especially wall mount type), video monitors, computers, certain synths and samplers must be located away from the X.Sum and its associated cables. It may be necessary to alter the positions of certain equipment that you feel would cause buzzes or hums in the mixer system.

Operation Section Signal Flow Diagram When any future reference is made to the controls or switches of the X.Sum, it will be assumed that they have been set to their neutral positions. Use this channel signal flow diagram shown below in Figure 3 as a reference when reading the descriptions of the controls, switches, and connectors [1] through [16] in this chapter. -

Chapter 3 Operation Section Master Section 5. Master Level Control This pot acts as the master volume to the Mix-A output. The operation of this control does not affect the operation of the Monitor level [7]. 6. Master Mono Switch When depressed, this switch sums the left and right signal together, creating a mono composite for the Mix-A. - Page 19 An input channel cannot function in stereo unless the right input is connected. The 16 stereo input channels of the X.Sum will work with either balanced tip- ring-sleeve (TRS) ¼" plugs as or unbalanced tip-sleeve (TS) ¼" plugs.
- Page 20 Ring = Low (-) Sleeve = Ground Note - All active-balanced output circuits of the X.Sum were designed for balanced lines and should only be connected to balanced inputs. If that is not possible and it is necessary to connect to an unbalanced input, care must be taken not to connect the low (-) terminal to ground.

- Page 23 Wiring and Other Wiring & Other General The following information is not specific to the operation of the X.Sum, but rather general information regarding the “care and feeding” of an audio system. A general discussion about AC, AC grounding, audio grounding, EMI, and quality wiring is discussed in this section.
- Page 24 Chapter 4 Wiring and Other Clock noise and AC Clock noise is one of the greatest enemies of the audio racks AC system. If a computer or any microprocessor based device (most samplers and effects are) emits or somehow couples its clock signal with the neutral or earth of its own power cable, it will contaminate your AC system and carry the clock noise into other equipment;...
- Page 25 The occurrence of EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) in a contemporary studio system should be of great concern and not overlooked when installing the X.Sum. EMI is defined as any unwanted signal which adversely affects the operation of the X.Sum or your audio system.
