6 Microphone Input
One microphone input is provided with
electronically balanced, transformer-less
circuitry configured for optimum low noise
performance. The input impedance is
greater than 2k
Ω
and suitable for
microphones in the 200
Ω
to 600
Ω
range.
Input is via the 3-pin plug in screw terminal
type connector (Phoenix type) located on
the rear panel. A facility to provide 15V
phantom power is included that is
activated by setting the internal jumper J5
to the ‘ON’ position.
When setting the jumper please ensure that you:
• Remove the mains cable from the rear of the product before removing the top panel.
• Only reassemble the unit using screws identical to the original parts.
6.1 Paging Access Contacts
Paging contacts for each individual microphone input are provided on the rear panel. These
contacts control which zones the microphone will be active in. This provides the facility for
paging microphones, such as
the Cloud CPM-4, to be
connected to the CX163. The
access contacts work on a
short-to-ground system, which
is compatible with the majority
of paging microphones.
These contacts can be
bypassed via the
configuration of the internal
jumpers detailed below:
