SONOSAX SX-R4 + User manual / Hardware description Page 10 of 12
3.2.11 External powering [ DC IN ]
SX-R4+ recorder can be powered from any external regulated DC source from 9 to18 Volts such as a main adapter or
any external battery pack such as lead acid or LiOn battery. The DC source must be capable to supply at least 1,5 A
under 12 Volts DC.
The average power consumption is approx 7 to 12 Watts depending on the configuration of the SX-R4+, this represents
a continuous current of approx xxmA under 12 Volts.
The [DC IN] connector handles the SMBus for external compatibles LiOn batteries.
DC IN wiring:
• Pin 1: negative ( - )
• Pin 2: SMBus Data*
• Pin 3: SMBus Clock*
• Pin 4: positive ( + )
* Leave unconnected when unavailable
Accessories:
• Hirose 4 pin cable connector: Hirose HR10-7P4P / SONOSAX ref SX-860217
• Main DC adapter 100-240VAC / 50 - 60Hz /12VDC with Hirose 4: SONOSAX ref SX-008450.
3.2.12 Powering peripherals [ DC OUT ]
The Hirose 4 pin connector supply a DC voltage to power peripheral equipments such as the SONOSAX SX-AD8+
microphone preamplifiers, a SX-M32 mixing console, RF systems or any other equipment requiring a 12VDC.
This output is configured in the [POWER] menu, it supplies either a voltage derived directly from the [DC IN] connector,
decoupled to avoid ground loop with connected peripherals, or a 12V regulated by the SX-R4+.
The maximal power output is 7,2 Watts, which represents a current of max. 0,6 Amp under 12 Volts.
DC OUT wiring:
• Pin 1: negative ( - )
• Pin 2:
• Pin 3:
• Pin 4: positive ( + )
