28 – Balanced XLR Outputs

Each output channel has an electronically balanced XLR connector for

connection to system amplifiers. Each output channel can output different

frequency ranges depending on its assignment and cross-over settings.

Care must be taken to assure that each output is

connected to an appropriate amplifier and loudspeaker to

avoid damage or unexpected results. Note that a new

preset may change the assignment of channel and its

frequency range. For instance an output assigned to Hi

frequency speakers in one preset, may be assigned as a

sub output in another. See chapter “Configurations of the

DC-One” for connection examples.

29 – AES/EBU Digital Input

In addition to the analog audio inputs, an AES/EBU digital stereo input is

provided and selectable in the Setup menu. The input conforms to IEC

standard 60958 Type I. Connections must be made with three-conductor,

110-Ohm, twisted pair cabling and an XLR connector.

30 – Balanced XLR Thru

Each analog audio input is connected to an electronically buffered and

balanced output as a through connector. The signal does not go undergo any

digital conversion or processing. These connectors are used to pass input

audio to a second DC-One used as a slave or to other audio inputs in the

system.

31 – Balanced XLR Inputs

Each input has an electronically balanced, locking XLR connector. In stereo or

dual modes, connections to both inputs must be made. In mono modes, only

one connection need be made, typically to Input A.

32 – -6dB Pad

Input levels to the DC-One can be reduced -6dB prior to the A/D converter to

compensate for higher-level output from mixers and other audio devices. For

ideal signal to noise performance when connecting the DC-One to high output

level devices engage the -6dB pad rather than turning down the output of the

connected device. The DC-One’s Input Level Meters (2) will indicate incoming

signal level and whether attenuation is required.
