Aphex Studio Dominator 700 - 5 Installation; Unpacking; Input Sensitivity Set; Mounting

5.0 INSTALLATION
5.1 Unpacking
Your Studio Dominator was carefully packed at the factory,
and the container was designed to protect the unit from rough
handling. Nevertheless, we recommend careful examination of the
shipping carton and its contents for any sign of physical damage
which could have occured in transit. If damage is evident, do
not destroy the container or packing material. Immediately
notify the carrier of a possible claim for damage. Shipping
claims must be made by the consignee.
5.2 Input Sensitivity Set
Before installation the Studio Dominator must be set
for the correct input sensitivity corresponding to the desired
operating level (OVU). It may be set to either -10 or +4 dBm.
The switch for each channel ' is located inside the unit just
behind the input jacks on the main PC board. Simply slide the
switch to the desired position. Towards the power supply is
+4dBm, away is -10dBm. The +4dBm position is suitable for
operating levels from 0 to +lOdBm.
5.3 Mounting
The Studio Dominator occupies one standard rack unit of
space (1 3/4") 19
rr
wide, with a depth of 8 1/2rr. Allow at least
an additional 3" of depth for connectors. Be sure that there is
at least 1/2" of air space around the unit for cooling. Mount
with the cushioned rack screws provided.
5.4 Connectors
The audio inputs and outputs are made with standard XLR
type 3-pin connectors on the rear panel. Equal phase is
maintained from input to output, so the user may elect to use
either pin 2 or pin 3 as high to match his balanced system.
5.5 I/O Considerations
5.5.1 Impedances
The input is of high (160 kOhms) impedance and may be
easily driven by any output source. In the case of
certain situations that need to see a 600 Ohm load, a 600
ohm resistor may be tied across pins 2 and 3 on the input
