SONOSAX SX-S - Manual (Page 11)

610. The mode switch defines whether you are listening to the input signal in stereo, mono, only to the left channel on both headphones or only to the right channel on both
headphones. The active mode is always indicated by the corresponding LED. If in Left / Right mode, pushing the channel switch 1 to 8 on the left will monitor the left
channel ; pushing the switch on the right will monitors the right channel. When you push the left button in L/R mode the left LED will light and vice versa. Push the mode
switch several times to go through all the different modes.
611. The slide switch is used to attenuate the input signals.
612. The 8 Stereo Inputs are made through a 25-pin Sub-D connector on the rear of the mixer.

617. 11. BALANCED TRANSFORMER OUTPUT MODULE
618.
619. When installed the electronically balanced outputs are rerouted to a pair of Bantam Jacks. The XLR Outputs are then transformer coupled Outputs.
620.
621.11.1 Operating level switch
622. The nominal operating level can be switched between 1.55 and 4.4 Volts at 600 Ohms.
623.
624.11.2 Output selector switch
625. A switch will select between the right Output or the AUX Bus.
626.
627.11.3 Limiter
628. A switch will select normal operation or a limiter which limits the level to the nominal operating level (1,55 or 4,4 Volts depending on the output level selected).
629.
630.11.4 Left and Aux / right LEDs
631. These LEDs illuminate to indicate limiter activity.

636. 12. SONOSAX SX-V
637.
638. The SX-V series is derived from the SX-S. The technology and the modules are similar.
639. The following are all the modifications concerning the SX-V.
640.
641.12.1 Power supply
642. The SX-V cannot accept batteries or accumulators inside. However, it can be powered with either 12V DC or through the mains outlet. The AC voltage range varies from
100 to 260V AC, 40Hz to 60Hz without any modification, which allows use of the console worldwide.
643.
644.12.2 Frame
645. There is only one frame size for the SX-V, that is 10 input modules. Needless to say that you can purchase a console with less modules, or even replace one of them
with a transformer output module.
646. The handle, the cover and the battery pack have been removed. Two optional brackets allow for an SX-V 19" rackmount to be fitted.
647.
648.12.3 Circuit
649. The INSERT IN, INSERT OUT & LINE OUT connectors have been removed.
650. The XLR AUX output is connected in parallel with a 1/4" jack.
651.
652.12.4 VCA option
653. The SX-V modules can be mounted with VCAs instead of plain faders. A DB25 computer type connector allows control of the VCA with an external DC voltage (for
example a video editor). The control voltage ranges from 0 to 5 volts. When used with an external controllers, the faders must be positioned at 0dB.

658. 13. TIPS ON USING YOUR MIXER
659.
660. The SONOSAX SX-S has been designed to ensure unsurpassed performance. However, bear in mind that a good sound recording greatly depends on the dynamics.
661. We thus recommend the following:
• Adjust the input gain level at maximum level BEFORE overload, that is with a modulation level between 0dB and +6dB on the modulometer (PFL ON)
• Input faders should be between 0dB and +10dB.
