5.1 Connecting and powering up the mixer

If you are using a remote AudioRack then connect it with a Cat5 digital snake. Use STP (shielded twisted
pair) Cat5e or higher spec cable up to 100m (330') long. Cable with both foil and braided screens provide
shielding from interference and are generally more rugged. Stranded core cables are less prone to
damage when kinked or repeatedly coiled. Plug into the dSNAKE port. If you are connecting a second
AudioRack plug it into the EXPANDER port of the first.
Once an AudioRack is recognised,
the dSNAKE icon will appear in the
screen toolbar:
