Powering the STAxxx

Connection of 12 VDC power to the stereo adapter is optional. If no power source is connected to the STAxxx,
it operates from the unit‟s internal battery.

Using an External Power Source

When the 12 VDC input is connected to a power source, it supplies power to the unit when its power switch is in
the „OFF‟ position.
If batteries are installed in the unit and external power is connected, it will not be able to power down unless an
external power switch is available to remove the external power.

Using the STAxxx to Power the Unit

The adapter can be used to power the unit while it is in Mono mode and using a Mic-level input.

The Audio/Timecode Output Connection

The audio output connection is used to monitor the audio functions of its host unit or to allow timecode to pass
through the STAxxx. The unit‟s output setting
timecode is sent through the output.

Timecode Input

The timecode input is used to jam the unit‟s timecode generator. If the auto-load function
page {p.28}) is enabled, the timecode input of the stereo adapter can be used.
