DTOX Series | Quick Start Guide
DTOX-32 AES/EBU D-sub <> XLR Breakout Panel
The DTOX-32 breakout panel is the ideal extension for digital multichannel interfaces.
It includes two sets of D-sub to 4 x XLR male and 4 x XLR female each, replacing common breakout cables D-sub to XLR
by a professional, solid, stable rack-mounted system. DTOX-32 is pin-compatible to TASCAM (=RME) and Yamaha formats.
Rack Mount
The DTOX-32 (also DTOX-16) has removable rack-mount-brackets and can
be mounted in front or back position.
Changing the Pinout at the D-sub 25 Connectors
There are two selectable pinout standards for the 25-pin D-sub connectors of the DTOX-32: the TASCAM-compatible one
and the YAMAHA-compatible format. If not ordered specifically, the DTOX-32 is set to the factory default TASCAM (RME).
The respective format is changed by an internal connector inside the panel. To change the format it is required to
opening the housing with a medium size cross recessed screwdriver (PH-2 size).
First bring the DTOX-32 in a position with the XLR
connectors facing towards you.
Loosen all 8 screws on the top side of the chassis.
Remove the upper part of the chassis.
Now the circuit board with 4 sockets is visible.
2 are in use and 2 are free.
To change the pinout standard grip from both
sides under the ribbon cable and lift it up smoothly,
unplugging the connector from the socket.
By plugging into the other connector, you choose the
alternative standard. After that, assemble the DTOX-32.
Before you mount the DTOX-32 back into the rack,
you may sign the checkboxes between the D-sub
connectors on the rear of the chassis with a permanent
marker to remember the selected standard.
