Orbit 6’s Master and Booth Output XLR connectors are located on the le-hand side of
the rear panel. There is also a pair of Mix Insert patch points for connecon to external
audio processors (compressors, limiters, graphic EQ etc).
Master Out – The Master Output XLRs are electronically balanced, with Pin 2 hot
(posive phase), Pin 3 cold (negave phase), and Pin 1 ground. When the Master Level
control is fully clockwise, with the Meters reading –4VU the output level is
approximately +6dBu.
Important please read!
The Master Out XLRs must only be used on equipment ed with fully balanced
inputs. Never unbalance these outputs by connecng Pin 3 to ground, or use an XLR
to RCA type adaptor. For unbalanced operaon connect only to Pin 2 and Ground and
leave Pin 3 oang.
Booth Out – The Booth Output XLRs are electronically “EBOS” balanced, with Pin 2 hot
(posive phase), Pin 3 cold (negave phase), and Pin 1 Ground. When the Master Level
control is fully clockwise, with the Meters reading –4VU the output level is
approximately +6dBu. These XLR outputs can be used balanced or unbalanced by
connecng Pin 3 to Ground.
Master Insert – The Master Inserts are ed with 1/4” TRS Jacks and follow the
standard convenon of Tip = Send, Ring = Return, and Sleeve the common Ground.
The connector’s normalising contacts by-pass the insert when nothing is plugged in.
Any External Processor should have a nominal operang level between –2dBu to
+18dBu. Be aware that any external equipment plugged into these sockets will have
an impact on audio delity, and we strongly recommend using only studio grade
equipment.
