6 REAR PANEL
19. AUX IN
This is a balanced stereo input that can be used for a variety of purposes. It can be used to
bring in an external sub-mixer (for example, to expand the number of input channels for
sound modules, samplers, drum machines, etc., that may be being sequenced during
mixdown) or it can be used as a stereo effects return. By default, this signal feeds the main L/
R bus via the stereo AUX mixer channel prior to the master stereo fader. However, the AUX
IN can also be freely patched within the DPS24 and used as a record source if you wish.
20. EXPANSION SLOTS
These three slots can be used to accept a variety of optional expansion cards, such as:
* IB-24ADT : ADAT˛ Expansion card, adding 16 more channels of ADAT˛ digital input
output and an ADAT˛ SYNC OUT connector to control the transports of ADAT˛ machines
from the DPS24.
* IB-24LTC : SMPTE/EBU Time Code Reader/Generator card for synchronization with
other devices such as Tape machines and Video decks.
* The third expansion slot is reserved for future options.
21. GROUND TERMINAL
Connect this to some earthed metalwork if you experience any mains hum or interference as
it may help reduce it.
22. POWER SWITCH
This is used to switch the DPS24 on and off.
23. POWER CONNECTOR
This should be attached to a suitable cable connected to a mains power source.
