EURORACK PRO RX1602
4.2 Audio connections
You will require several types of cables for the various kinds
of connections possible. The following illustrations show you
how to wire different cables. Always use high-quality cables.
The audio inputs of the RX1602 are electronically balanced to
avoid hum problems.
Of course, you can also connect equipment featuring un-
balanced outputs. To this end, use either mono jacks or connect
ring and sleeve of the stereo jack (bridge pin 1 and pin 3 when
using XLR connectors).

5. AUX CHANNELS MODIFICATION
All monitor and effects signals are tapped into post mute and
pre fader, which resembles the function of a pre fader aux
channel on conventional mixing consoles. If you prefer to use
the aux channels mainly for effect applications, we suggest to
alter them to post Fader. The difference is that you extract the
respective channels’ signal from the effect mix, too, when you
turn the LEVEL-control to minimum. You can do this modification
for each channel individually, the choice is yours.

The following modifications put your soldering
skills to the test. Only attempt to implement them
if you feel you have enough past experience.
Consider hiring professional help. Regardless of
who implements these modifications, they
effectively void all warranty claims.
+
A piece of advice for the brave: bridge endings that
are to be soldered should not be put into the drill
holes. Instead, bridge endings should be soldered
above the drill holes in a flat fashion! A bridge should
be somewhat upwardly curved between both of
the bases.
1. Power down the unit and unplug the power cord before
you remove the cover from the rest of the housing!
2. The positions in question are found on the part of the circuit
board located perpendicular to the front side. Please
observe figure 5.1.
+
Hold the unit so that you can read the FX/MON
insignia on the circuit board. Soldering points
should match those in the illustration.
3. Separate the “pre fader” conductor path.
4. Solder a “post fader” bridge.
5. Repeat this step on as many channels as desired.
