FOH Rack
Analog Inputs and Outputs
(Balanced 1/4-inch TRS Connectors)
Connect the analog inputs and outputs of external proces-
sors to any of these 8 analog output and input pairs. (16 inputs
and output pairs are available if the IOx option is installed.)
Connect any analog output destination (such as a recording
device or broadcast feed) to any of the outputs in this section.
Connect any analog sound sources (such as a CD player) to
any of the inputs in this section.
Digital Inputs and Outputs - IOx Option only
(AES/EBU Connectors)
Connect the two-channel digital inputs and outputs of ex-
ternal processors to any of the 4 AES/EBU digital output and
input connectors in this section.
These connectors support 24-bit, 48 kHz digital signals. In-
put signals with other sample rates are sample-rate converted
to 48 kHz.
2-Track Analog Inputs and Outputs
(Balanced 1/4-inch TRS Connectors)
Connect a 2-track analog playback source to the 2-Track
analog inputs.
Connect a 2-track analog recording device to the 2-Track
analog outputs.
2-Track Digital Inputs and Outputs
(AES/EBU and S/PDIF Connectors)
Switch the 2-Track digital I/O between AES/EBU and S/PDIF
by moving the 2-Track Digital Format selector switch to the
corresponding position. Only one of these digital formats may
be active at a time.
Connect a 2-channel digital playback source to the 2-Track
AES/EBU or S/PDIF input.
Connect a 2-channel digital recording device to the 2-Track
AES/EBU or S/PDIF output.
These connectors support 24-bit, 48 kHz digital signals. In-
put signals with other sample rates are sample-rate converted
to 48 kHz.
Monitor Outputs
(Balanced 1/4-inch TRS Connectors)
Connect a monitor amplifier or powered monitors to the
Monitor Output connectors.
The Monitor Outputs and the Headphone Output on the
front of the console are fed by the Solo/Monitor bus
Com Mic Connector
Plug a dynamic or condenser microphone, or any compati-
ble intercom system microphone into this connector.
Com Mic Gain
Turn the Com Mic knob to adjust overall Com Mic gain.
MIDI Input and Output
Connect a compatible MIDI device to the MIDI In and MIDI
Out ports. Snapshots receive and send MIDI commands, and
generate and respond to MIDI Time Code.
Word Clock
If you are integrating digital devices with your VENUE system,
make the necessary Word clock connections and settings. For
details, see “Synchronizing External Digital Source Devices”
on page 23.
