Rear Panel
This is where all the connections are made to the
Onyx 80 Series (except the headphones and lamps).
67. MIC Input
This is a female XLR connector, which accepts a bal-
anced microphone input from almost any type of micro-
phone. The microphone preamps feature our new Onyx
design, with higher fi delity and headroom rivaling any
standalone mic preamp on the market today.
The XLR inputs are wired as follows:
Pin 1 = Shield or ground
Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 = Negative (– or cold)
68. LINE Input
This is a 1/4" TRS connector, which accepts a balanced or
unbalanced line-level input signal from almost any source.
When connecting a balanced signal to the LINE inputs,
wire them as follows:
Tip = Positive (+ or hot)
Ring = Negative (– or cold)
Sleeve = Shield or ground
When connecting an unbalanced signal, wire them as
follows:
Tip = Positive (+ or hot)
Sleeve = Shield or ground
69. INSERT
These 1/4" TRS jacks provide a send and return point
for each channel. Use the INSERT jacks to connect
serial effects devices such as compressors, equalizers,
de-essers, or fi lters to each individual channel.
The INSERT points are after the GAIN, Polarity, and
Low Cut controls, but before the EQ and Fader controls.
The send (tip) is low-impedance, capable of driving any
device. The return (ring) is high-impedance and can be
driven by almost any device.
Special insert cables are available, specially designed
for this kind of insert jack. They are wired as follows:
“from tip”
this plug connects to one of the
mixer’s Channel Insert jacks.
“to ring”
tip
ring
sleeve
SEND to processor
RETURN from processor
(TRS plug)
Tip = Send (output to effects device)
Ring = Return ( input from effects device)
Sleeve = Common ground (connect shield to all
three sleeves)
Besides being used for inserting external devices,
these jacks can also be used as channel direct outputs;
post-GAIN, post-LOW CUT, and pre-EQ. This is an unbal-
anced direct out, in contrast to the DIRECT OUTS on
the rear panel, which are balanced direct outputs, post-
GAIN, post-INSERT, and pre-EQ.
