ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Rear DIP Switch Options

The rear of the X-Panda unit features a 4-way DIP switch which allows you to change the Meter scaling of the signal LEDs on the channels.

Switch number “1” alters the meter scaling between:

0 dbfs= +18 dBu or 0 dbfs= +24 dbu

Note: that the default factory setting is set to +24 dBu

The Diagnostics 1,2, and 3 switches are for internal SSL factory use only and should not be engaged by the user without dire repercussions on a truly monumental scale. Well perhaps not that bad, but please don’t do it!

Cascading X-Panda and X-Desk

One of the most useful features of the X-Panda/Desk is the ability for multiple units to be cascaded together to build a bigger SSL system.

It is possible to connect an X-Panda and X-Desk units together by simply connecting the rear panel connection on the X-Panda “UNITE” to the “X-DESK LINK IN” on the X-Desk. You should connect your monitor loudspeakers and FX processors to the X-Desk as it will be the main audio MIX bus, as well as acting as the master sends for the CUE and FX busses.

Currently we recommend that you connect no more than 8 X-Desk/Panda combinations in a cascaded array.

As mentioned, once connected the MIX, CUE, FX 1&2 and AFL solo Busses are combined on the master X-Desk.

So for example:

If you engage SOLO on any channel, all other Channels in your cascaded X- Panda/Desk System will mute.

A single FX processing unit can be connected to the FX 1 or 2 output of the Master Desk yet can be fed audio from sends on any of the cascaded desks.

More advanced users may wish to consider the possibilities of such delights as parallel compression, differing FX destinations, extremely complex Cue sends and a whole host of other creative possibilities
