Power Connection

The console is fitted with auto-sensing power supplies which will function at any voltage from 100 to 230 volts ±10%
without adjustment.
Three IEC mains power-leads may be supplied: one with a UK 3-pin fused plug fitted, one with US-style 3-pin mains plug
fitted and one with a european 3-pin plug. Please select the appropriate lead for the local power outlets.

Thermal Considerations

The console is cooled by fan-assisted convection from the front inlet (below the front buffer) to the exit in the rear panel.
It is VERY important that these ventilation grills are not obstructed in any way – particularly if the console is going to be
mounted into additional furniture.
CAUTION. The heatsink fins on the console rear panels can reach temperatures of approximately 30 degrees
Celsius above the ambient room temperature.

Rear Panel Connections

All connections to the console – apart from the headphone and iJack sockets – are located on the rear panel.
• D-Sub connectors are all high-quality 25-way female
• The screw pillars utilise the standard UNC-440 thread
• All connections are balanced and are wired to the AES59 Analogue Standard (also known as the Tascam standard)
• XLR connectors are wired with pin 2 'hot'

D-sub to XLR Breakout Leads

When connecting directly to external equipment – amplifiers, effects units, meters etc. – adapter leads that convert the
console's DB25 female connectors into 8 x XLRs are likely to be useful. Refer to the table on page 4 for notes on where
these adapter leads might be required.
