Sig nal Ground Binding Post
: The black Signal Ground binding post is located next to the Chassis
Ground binding post, and works in much the same way, providing comprehensive grounding options
for any installation. Some systems are built on a “star” grounding principle, where all the signal grounds
are brought directly to one central point and grounded to earth at the same location. The Signal Ground
binding post allows easy access to the signal ground system of the 160SL without having to remove the
cover of the 160SL and locate a good place to take the signal ground out of the box.
Note:
T
ypically the shorting link between chassis ground and signal ground should be left installed, unless another grounding scheme is used.
AC Power Switch: Located beside the AC Power connector, the AC Power switch turns the 160SL
ON and OFF. When the switch is in the DOWN position, revealing the red portion of the switch,
the AC power to the 160SL is ON. When the switch is in the UP position, no AC power is being
supplied to the 160SL, regardless of other power connections.
AC Power Connector:
The AC Power connector is a standard IEC 320 power inlet receptacle, for use with
any IEC-type power cord (included with the 160SL). Connect this cable to any 50Hz or 60Hz AC power
source of the correct line voltage for your area. Make sure this voltage is also correct for the voltage
marked on the back of the 160SL. Always make AC power connections with the AC power switch in the
OFF position (see above). The 160SL consumes a maximum power of 50 watts.
Warning:
Be sure to verify both your actual line voltage and the voltage for which your 160SL is wired, as indicated
on the back panel of the unit. Connection to an inappropriate power source may result in extensive damage
which is not covered by the warranty.
Ou tput Option Panel
: This panel is removed when an output option card is installed
in your 160SL. Connecting a custom designed digital output module in the option port
provides full 24-bit AES/EBU and S/PDIF output capabilities for the 160SL. The digital
outputs of the 160SL operate simultaneously with the analog outputs, providing the
possibility of running to three different devices at the same time: analog, AES/EBU, and
S/PDIF. For more information on the digital output option, contact dbx customer service.
Be sure to fill out your warranty registration card, provided in this manual, and return it
to dbx as soon as possible. This will enable us to notify you of other output options that
will become available in the future.
