500mA, but due to the internal DC/DC converter of the SX42 mixer, the peak current when the
unit is turned ON reaches 1A.
For the best performance we recommend to use the optional external power supply provided by
your nearest SONOSAX dealer or by the factory. Its SONOSAX part number is: SX 008420.
The DC IN connector is a coax-socket type connector and it can be reordered by your nearest
SONOSAX dealer or at the factory. Its SONSAX part number is: SX 860712.

Right Panel
The right panel includes: two balanced main outputs (OUT L and OUT R), a headphones output
(PHONES), a direct line1 to line4 output (OUT 1to4), an external return input (RET IN) and
another stereo output (SUB OUT). The user panel and the batteries compartment are also
located here as show hereunder:
4.2.1 Main outputs (OUT L & OUT R)
The two main output channels (L & R) are electronically floating balanced.
The output connectors are XLR type connectors where: PIN 1=GND, PIN2=HI (or +) and
PIN3=LO (or -).
The nominal level is +6dBu or -40dBu (see Output attenuator) and the output impedance is less
than 50 ohms. It can be internally adjusted by your nearest SONOSAX dealer or at the factory.
To connect to an unbalanced input like a consumer CD or MD player, make a bridge between
PIN1 and PIN3 and connect this to the GND of the other device. Then, use PIN2 as the
unbalanced signal output.
NOTE: Even if the SX42 mixer as an internal protection, avoid sending Phantom power (+48V)
into outputs.
4.2.2
Stereo sub output (SUB OUT)
This connector provides you a subsidiary unbalanced stereo output channel. The nominal
output level is +6dBu and can be internally adjusted by your nearest SONOSAX dealer or at the
factory. You can use this output to connect for example a consumer DAT or MD recorder.
NOTE: This output can also be internally adjusted to provide one or two mono channels.
Remark: In a mono channel the audio signal is the sum of Left and Right channels.
