source inputs: 2 mic, 10 stereo analog line,
nput Sources.
2 AES3.
The X-MIX-14-
22 supports 22 audio source inputs: 2 mic,
10 stereo analog line, 10 AES3. For maxi-
mum user flexibility, any of these source
inputs to the console can be assigned to any
input fader channel. The X-MIX-14-22 also
has 2 extra mic preamps for converting 2
line channels to mic level.
Input Fader Channels
The console is available in two models.
Both are 14 channels. The X-MIX-14-14
has the base 14 inputs. The X-MIX-14-22
has 22 inputs (includes the option board).
Any of the 14 or 22 source inputs can be
assigned to any of the 14 input fader chan-
nels
Every channel has a single input, channel
on/off control (with built-in logic interface),
fader level control and assignment selectors
(to Cue, and three output buses). Analog
line input channels can be set for -10 dBu
to +4 dBu via dip switches or PC setup soft-
ware.
Each input has its own individual connec-
tor with both audio and logic signals for
ease of cabling. Source control logic can be
selected to be momentary or sustained for
flexibility.
Telco Functionality
The console can be configured in setup to
support one hybrid for a single caller. The
Telco functionality can be assigned to any of
the 10 analog source inputs.
If an input is assigned Telco functionality,
then the front panel fader channel controls
automatically change to support that mode.
Outputs
T h e c o n s o l e f e a t u r e s 3 o u t p u t b u s e s
(Program, Audition, and Mono). Each of the
stereo audio buses (Program and Audition)
has its own AES-3 digital output as well as a
stereo analog output. The Mono output bus
has an analog output only. Each analog output
signal is +4 dBu balanced.
The console also has an "Assignable Output"
which is setup as either a Record output fol-
lowing the telephone system or as a cue out-
put for an external cue amp and speaker.
Monitoring
Powerful monitoring and communication
controls for a Control Room (CR) are provid-
ed. Separate volume controls, with speaker
muting logic for the CR are provided for the
CR headphone, monitors, and Cue signal. A
CR warning logic output is also provided.
The console contains a flexible Talkback sys-
Meter Panel with (2) Program bus meters, (2) Audition bus

tem. The front panel talkback button acti -
vates an output from the CR mic with logic
to feed another studio. An audio input into
the cue system with logic provides an input
and control for talkback from one or more
other studios.
Timer
The digital timer is located in the meter
panel. The timer is controlled automatically
by the channel logic or manually though the
control surface's Start, Stop, Hold, and Reset
buttons.
Remote Line Selector (RLS)
The console features a 6x2 routing switcher
for remote input selection. Each of the 6
inputs can be setup in the software to accept
any combination of the console inputs
including mics. Only the Telco functionality
can not be assigned to the remote line selec-
tor.
Power Supply
The power supply is an external module to
reduce power supply related hum and noise
in the console. It is a "line lump" type with a
6 foot AC cord and a 6 foot DC power cord.
The power supply has outputs at (+)(-)
12VDC and (+)5VDC. It is an international
series supporting AC line voltages from 100-
240VAC and 50/60Hz.
