Outside Your MX36: Rear Panel Connections
1: Mains Inlets: The IEC mains inlets are unswitched, and feed two independent power
supplies operating in redundancy mode. Either power supply is capable of powering the
entire unit indefinitely, but we recommend using both, connected to different mains circuits in
mission-critical situations!
2: Main AES Outputs: These two XLRs carry the four main output channels as two AES pairs
formatted as 1+2 and 3+4.
3: AES Outputs Wordclock Sync Input: Connect an external wordclock source to synchronise
the AES outputs. Front panel LED shows when valid clock is present and in use.
3: A/B/C AES Inputs: Digital audio inputs arranged in three groups of two pairs each for A, B
and C sets; 1+2, 3+4. Independent sample rate conversion on every input socket.
4: Main analogue output XLR sockets: These carry the four main output channels - the sum
of the A-B-C selectors.
5: Microphone Input: Plug in a balanced mic to use for announcements — this socket is
mirrored on the front panel (both sockets are connected in parallel).
6: Stereo Line Input: This pair of XLRs is a balanced stereo input is mirrored on the front
panel with an unbalanced 3.5mm stereo jack (unbalanced) run in parallel. Use to connect a
laptop or mobile sound source for background music feeds, or even another analogue stereo
console.
7: A/B/C Analogue Inputs: Balanced inputs arranged in three groups of four each for A, B
and C sets.
8: Dante Primary and Secondary Ports: Networked audio connections — 1: Primary, 2:
Secondary. See page 34 for details of Dante I-O channel mapping.
9: Control Ethernet Port: Connection to this port is currently limited to firmware updates
only.
11: GPIO Port: For future expansion.
