Assembling and Wiring the Hardware

Warning

Avoid damaging components by electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Before you touch or mount electronical components, make sure you do not carry any electrostatic charges. Earth yourself using a grounded metal object (heater, rack) to divert electrostatic charges immediately before you touch electronical components.

Warning

In a 19"-rack, in order to ensure the air flow for cooling the device, at least one empty rack unit (1 U) is required above and below the XS Core and XS Multi-I/O Box.

If more heat-emitting devices are mounted in the rack, more space for ventilation is necessary. Do not cover the perforated metal plates on top and on the sides of the cases.

Generally, avoid operating devices which produce much heat close to the XS Core and Multi-I/O Boxes.

5 Assembling and Wiring the Hardware

In the following you can find information on the mechanical assembling and wiring of an 52/SX Mixing Console.

5.4 System Wiring

The 52/SX mixing system consists of 3 main parts, which are connected via an industry standard CAT5 or CAT6 shielded network cable. These parts are:

· XS Core: This unit includes the DSP Audio Engine and the Control Engine.

· XS Multi-I/O box: This unit includes all input and output connectors for analog and digital audio, USB and GPIO.

· Control modules: These are the user interface of the mixer with all faders, control knobs, push buttons, OLED

displays and TFT displays.

General Information

Please use at least shielded CAT5 cables continuous for wiring. But DHD recommends to use shielded CAT6 cables for longer distances. The maximum length of the Ethernet cable between two modules is 100 meters (e.g., between the XS Core and Control module or between the XS Core and XS Multi-I/O Boxes).
