Union Audio Orbit.6 - Connecting the PSU to the Mixer

23
Connecng Europa to Orbit.6
Make sure the at face is facing le
when plugging into the socket on the
rear panel of the Orbit.6
ALWAYS ENSURE THE EUROPA POWER SUPPLY IS TURNED OFF BEFORE
CONNECTING THE DC POWER CABLE TO THE ORBIT.6 MIXER
The supplied DC lead is securely aached to the Europa by a threaded screw ring, and to the Orbit.6
by a 4 pin KYCON locking system. To connect the lead, line up the keyway on the chrome 5 Pin socket
with the plug on the Europa, push fully in and ghten the locking ring. Line up the pins on the Kycon
plug with the socket on the rear panel of the Orbit.6, the at face of the outer sleeve should be facing
le, then push the connector fully in unl it locks. To release the Kycon connector, pull back the
spring-loaded outer sleeve unl the plug withdraws from the socket. Never pull on the cable to
release the connector as this could cause damage to the cable or connector system.
Once both devices are connected, and the power supply is plugged into the mains, use the switch on
Europa to power up Orbit 6. It is normal on inial power-up for the channel meters to icker and the
VU meters to kick. Orbit.6 has built in output mung on the Master and Booth outputs to prevent
clicks and thumps through any connected speakers. The output mung will last approximately 12
seconds to allow the power rails to stabilise before un-mung.
It is a good idea to leave the mixer to warm up for 5 minutes before use to ensure the best
performance from the valves.
