AC Power Considerations, Connecting the Logic I/O

Connecting the LOGIC I/O

This is a 25-pin D-Sub connector. There are 10 logic inputs and 10 logic outputs. They are all active-low circuits. Use 22 gauge wire for these connections.

Note: Pins 12, 13, and 24 are not used at this time. They are reserved for future updates. Do not connect anything to these pins.

This is a 3-pin Phoenix-type connector specifically for connecting the optional remote control peripherals. Use a high-quality three- conductor shielded cable to make this connection, such as Belden 8451, 9451, or equivalent. The lower the nominal capacitance of the wire, the more distance you can have between the remote control and the DX810. This is in order to avoid transmission losses.

Strip the wire back about 1/4" inch. Insert the wire as far as it will go into the appropriate hole in

LOGIC I/O Pinout Connection

The logic inputs are active-low with internal pull- up resistors connected to +5 VDC. Use a normally open switch connected between the logic input and ground (pin 25). When the switch is closed, the logic input is active. Depending on the function assigned to the logic input, a toggle switch or a momentary switch may be used.

LOGIC INPUT Connection

The logic outputs are active-low, open-collector outputs with internal pull-up resistors. Connect the indicator or activation circuit between the logic output and +5 VDC (pin 1). When the output is active, the output is 0 VDC. The logic outputs can supply up to 10 mA of current each.

the supplied Phoenix-type connector. Then tighten down the screw with a small slot-head screwdriver. It is recommended that you use 18, 20, 22, or 24 gauge wire for the remote control connections. The guage used depends on the distance between the DX810 and the remotes.

The REMOTE BUS connector is wired as follows: Pin 1 = Ground (Shield)

Pin 2 = Data + (with +24 VDC power) Pin 3 = Data – (with +24 VDC power)

Note: See the instructions with the remote control for more information.

AC Power Considerations

The DX810 can accept an AC voltage ranging from 90 V to 240 V without having to reconfigure the primary wiring. This is due to the sophisticated design of the switching power supply. Each DX810 draws an average of 1 amp of AC line current at 120 VAC.

Warning: Always use a 3-conductor AC power cord with a safety ground connection. Never remove the ground pin or attempt to bypass it. This is very dangerous.

DX810 specifications

The Mackie DX810 is a versatile mixer designed for both live sound and studio applications, combining intuitive operation with a host of advanced features. This compact device, with its robust design, is perfect for musicians, sound engineers, and content creators alike, making it an essential tool for any audio setup.

One of the key features of the DX810 is its ten channels, which provide ample space for connecting multiple audio sources. Each channel comes equipped with a 3-band EQ, allowing users to tailor the sound to their specific needs. The built-in effects processor further enhances audio flexibility, offering a range of reverb and delay options. This makes it easier to create professional-quality soundscapes without the need for external equipment.

The Mackie DX810 also includes a feature called "Built-In USB Recording." This allows users to easily record their performances or practice sessions directly to a computer, streamlining the workflow for musicians and producers. Coupled with its low-latency monitoring capabilities, the DX810 is ideally suited for both live performances and studio recording.

Extensive connectivity options are another highlight of the DX810. With XLR, TRS, and RCA input outputs, it facilitates the integration of various audio sources, including microphones, instruments, and external effects units. The mixer also supports phantom power, enabling the use of condenser microphones, which is crucial for capturing high-quality vocals and acoustic instruments.

The DX810 is designed with ease of use in mind. Its layout features clearly labeled knobs and faders, ensuring that adjustments can be made quickly, even in high-pressure situations. The bright LED indicators provide visual feedback, allowing sound engineers to monitor levels effectively and avoid clipping.

Additionally, the robust construction of the DX810 ensures reliable performance in diverse environments, from intimate venues to large-scale events. Its portable design means that it can be easily transported, making it a favored choice for mobile sound engineers and gigging musicians.
