otros aparatos (incluyendo ampli cadores) que puedan
producir calor.

9. No elimine o deshabilite nunca la conexión a tierra
del aparato o del cable de alimentación de corriente.
Unenchufe polarizado tiene dos polos, uno de los cuales
tiene un contacto más ancho que el otro. Una clavija con
puesta a tierra dispone de tres contactos: dos polos y la
puesta a tierra. El contacto ancho y el tercer contacto,
respectivamente, son los que garantizan una mayor

algúnobstáculo.

13. Desenchufe el equipo durante tormentas o si no va
a utilizarlo durante un periodo largo.

14. Confíe las reparaciones únicamente a servicios
técnicos cuali cados. La unidad requiere mantenimiento
siempre que haya sufrido algún daño, si el cable
de suministro de energía o el enchufe presentaran
daños, se hubiera derramado un líquido o hubieran
caído objetos dentro del equipo, si el aparato hubiera
estado expuesto a la humedad o la lluvia, si ha dejado
de funcionar de manera normal o si ha sufrido algún
golpeo caída.

15. Al conectar la unidad a la toma de corriente
eléctrica asegúrese de que la conexión disponga de una
unión a tierra.

16. Si el enchufe o conector de red sirve como
únicomedio de desconexión, éste debe ser
accesiblefácilmente.

2. Getting Started

This section shows you how to unpack, install, connect up, power up and
congure the XL48 unit.

◊ This equipment is supplied by a mains voltage that can cause electric

shock injury.

◊ Before installing, setting up or operating this equipment, make sure

that you have read and fully understand all of this section and the
“Important safety instructions” at the front of this manual.

2.1 Unpacking

Carefully unpack your XL48 equipment package.

Then, inspect the XL48 unit carefully for any signs of damage that may have
occurred during transit and notify the courier immediately if you discover any.

Check the contents of your XL48 equipment package. If there are any parts
missing, incorrect or faulty, please contact your local distributor or Midas at the
address at the front of this manual.

Please retain the original packing in case you should need to return the
equipment to the manufac turer or supplier, or transport or ship the unit later.

2.2 Installation

Before installing and operating this equipment, make sure it is correctly
connected to the protective earth conductor of the mains voltage supply socket
outlet through the mains lead.

Ideally a cool area is preferred, away from power distribution equipment or other
potential sources of interference.

Do not install the equipment in places of poor ventilation.

Do not install this equipment in a location subjected to excessive heat,
dustormechanical vibration. Allow for adequate ventilation around
the equipment, making sure that its fans and vents are not obstructed.
Wheneverpossible, keepthe equipment out of direct sunlight.

Mount in rack only.

Power

◊ The supply cord must be unplugged to ensure complete

de-energisation of the unit.

Electric elds

In accordance with Part 15 of the FCC Rules & Regulations, “… changes or
modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authorit y to operate the equipment.”

Should this product be used in an electromagnetic eld that is amplitude
modulated by an audio frequency signal (20 Hz to 20 kHz), the signal to
noise ratio may be degraded. Degradation of up to 60dB at a frequency
correspondingto the modulation signal may be experienced under extreme
conditions (3V/m,90% modulation).

2.3 Connecting up

Connect up the rear panel of your unit as required:

• Inputs:

• XLR mic/line inputs (up to eight).

• Parallel analogue inputs (eight).

• External word clock.

• Outputs:

• AES3 outputs. There are two sets of eight AES3 mono output channels

(1 to 8), one set are on connectors 1 to 4 and the other set are on
connectors 5 to 8.

• Analogue outputs (eight).

• ADAT outputs (optional) — for connecting, for example, a sound

card (for PC) or an ADAT recorder. At 44.1kHz and 48kHz sample
frequencies the two ADAT ports are identical and both provide eight
output channels (1 to 8). At 88.2kHz and 96kHz sample frequencies,
bothportsprovidefour output channels each (port 1 = channels 1 to 4
and port2= channels 5 to 8).

• Internal word clock.

• Mains power — connect the IEC connector of the mains cable into the rear

of the unit and then plug it into a mains power outlet.

2.4 Powering the unit on/o

As the XL48 has no power on/o switch the unit is powered on/o via the
mainsoutlet.

The internal power supply is of the switch mode type that automatically senses
the incoming mains voltage and will work where the nominal voltage is in the
range 100VAC to 240VAC.

A mains inlet is provided on the rear panel. The correct lead for connection in
the area to which the unit was shipped is supplied with the unit. The equipment
should only be plugged into the mains outlet using the supplied lead.

Handling the equipment

When lifting or moving the equipment, always take its size and weight into
consideration.

Completely isolate the equipment electrically and disconnect all cables from the
equipment before moving it.

Do not insert your ngers or hands in any gaps or openings on the equipment,
forexample, vents.

2.5 Conguration

After you have powered up the XL48 you can congure the clock source and
sample rate as required.

5.1 Connectors

To ensure the correct and reliable operation of the equipment, only high quality
balanced, screened, twisted pair audio cable should be used. The AES3 adapter
cable is to be 110Ohms.

To fully comply with national legislation including (but not limited to)
transposition of EC EMC Directive 2004/108/EC by EU member states and FCC Part
15 for the United States of America, only the supplied cable may be used with the
AES3 outputs.

XLR connector shells should be of metal construction so that they provide
a screen when connected and, where appropriate, they should have Pin 1
connected to the cable screen.

7. Using The XL48

To avoid electrical shock, never operate the equipment with the covers removed.
Do not operate the equipment or any of its parts if safety guards are ineec tive or
their eectiveness has been reduced.

When the unit is rst powered up it will be set to 96 kHz using the internal clock
(factory default setting). When a change is made to the sample rate and clock
setting it will remain stored during a power c ycle. For example, if you always
want the unit set at 48 kHz and using an external clock source, you don’t have set
up these options each time the unit is power cycled.

10.4 Equipment disposal

When this equipment has come to the end of its useful life, its disposal may
come under the DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic
equipment(WEEE).

Hazardous substances in WEEE contaminate water, soil and air and ultimately put
at risk our environment and health. The directive aims to minimize the impacts of
WEEE on the environment during their life times and when they become waste.

The WEEE directive addresses the disposal of products when they have reached
the end of their life and contributes to the reduction of wasteful consumption of
natural resources. This will help to reduce pollution, and protect the environment
and ourselves.

If this equipment carries a ‘crossed-out wheelie bin’
(shown left), please do not dispose of WEEE as unsorted
municipal waste but collect and dispose of in accordance
with local WEEE legislation. The horizontal bar underneath
indicates that the product was placed on the EU market
after 13th August 2005.

For WEEE disposal, see our website at midasconsoles.com
for information.
