3.2 LEFT SIDE PANEL
Cut-Out for shoulder strap
FEATURES FUNCTIONS / DESCRIPTION
XLR inputs 1 to 4 Configured in the [INPUTS] menu as:
• Analogue: electronically balanced Mic/Line input
• AES42: transformer balanced digital Mic input with 10V Phantom (mode 1)
• AES3: transformer balanced digital input
Pin 1 = Ground / Pin 2 = High (+) / Pin 3 = Low (-)
Line inputs 5 & 6 – TA-3 Configured in the [INPUTS] menu
• Two independent line inputs, electronically balanced
Pin 1 = Ground / Pin 2 = High (+) / Pin 3 = Low (-)
Line outputs – TA-3 Configured in the [OUTPUTS] menu:
• Stereo or 2 channels unbalanced analogue line outputs
Pin 1 = Ground / Pin 2 = Left / Pin 3 = Right
Optional connector Either RJ45 for Audio over IP In/Out such as AVB, Ravenna interface
or optional analogue balanced output
3.2.1 XLR inputs [ IN1 to IN4 ]
The four XLR connectors can be independently configured as analogue Mic/Line input, AES42 input for digital
microphone or as AES3 digital line input. The input mode and settings such as 48V Phantom, Primary Gain, LF Cut,
Phase Reversal, Delays, Track Assignments etc are configurable in the [INPUTS] menu.
The four rotary faders 1 to 4 on the front panel primarily control the volume of these four XLR inputs; the level range of
the faders is individually definable in the [INPUTS SETUP] menu.
3.2.2 Line inputs [ IN5 - IN6 ]
Line inputs 5 & 6 are electronically balanced. All settings and parameters such as LF Cut, Phase Reversal, Delays,
Track Assignments etc are configurable in the [INPUTS] menu.
The two rotary faders 5 & 6 on the front panel are dedicated to these two inputs and can not be assigned to other tracks.
3.2.3 Subsidiary Stereo / 2 channels output [ LINE OUT ]
The [LINE OUT] TA-3 connector outputs two unbalanced analogue channels. Through the [OUTPUTS] menu any
combination of tracks can be routed to output either a stereo mix or two independent mono mixes to feed cameras,
external recorders, wireless systems or any other destination whenever a sub-mix is required. It can also be used to
feed an alternate monitoring system.
3.2.4 Optional Connector
The Optional Connector is an optional output either analogue or digital such as:
• Audio over Ethernet RJ45. Internal interface to stream multiple audio channels using protocols such as AVB,
Ravenna or else (no yet developed). These interfaces are proprietary boards manufactured by SONOSAX.
• Analogue balanced XLR-5M.
