Connecting PA systems, recording units, etc.

Via the audio outputs you can connect e.g. a PA system, a recording unit, etc.

Connect the desired unit as follows:

￿The signals of the floor channel are available at the XLR-3M audio

output AUX OUT 1 and the 9-pole sub-D socket AUX OUT 2 .

￿The signals of up to three interpretation channels are available at the

outputs AUX OUT 3-4-5 of the 9-pole sub-D socket.

￿If an SDC 8000 AO analog output unit is connected to the DATA OUT

socket of the central unit, additional channels can be output via the analog output unit’s XLR-3M audio outputs.

Pin assignment of the 9-pole sub-D socket (AUX OUT 2-3-4-5)

When connecting external equipment to the 9-pole sub-D socket (AUX OUT 2-3-4-5 ), please observe the following pin assignment:

The audio signal of the floor channel is always available at the two outputs AUX OUT 1 (XLR-3M audio output) and AUX OUT 2 (pin 1 and 6 of the 9- pole sub-D socket). This assignment cannot be changed!

The channel assignment for the three other audio outputs can be changed as described in the section “Assigning a channel to an audio output” on page 95. You can assign these outputs any interpretation channel or the floor channel.

Note!

The audio signal of the channel assigned to the output AUX OUT 4 (pin 3 and 8 of the 9-pole sub-D socket) is also available at the headphone output of the central unit!

Connecting an SDC 8000 AO analog output unit to the central unit

You can output additional interpretation channels via the SDC 8000 AO analog output unit’s transformer balanced XLR-3M audio outputs or via the unbalanced phono sockets next to the XLR-3 outputs.
