2.Connect the audio output to the input of the chosen amplifier or other audio device.
Microphone Connections
The unit comes with an internal 12V supply for use as microphone phantom power. If this is not required or a separate phantom power supply is required then make sure the phantom power supply switch is set to the off position.
CAUTION: Make sure the phantom power settings are correct before connecting the microphone to avoid damage to equipment. Do not exceed 48v phantom power supply, exceeding this limit may result in damage to the equipment and create a hazardous situation.
If a separate phantom power supply is required connect it to the screw terminals labelled Power + and gnd.
Connect the microphone to the balanced input labelled Mic +, - and gnd.
Balanced Output Connections
If balanced audio output is required connect it to the screw terminals labelled balanced output left & right, hot & cold and ground.
Serial Control Connections

Operation
Power On
This button turns the display device on, the button lights to show the current status.
Power Off
This button turns the display device off, the butt on lights to show the current status.
PC1 & PC2
These button allow input selection of the two PC inputs. The button lights to reflect the press.
Video 1, 2 & 3
Same as PC1 & PC2 but for the video inputs.
AUX
Same again but for the auxiliary audio input. This can only be selected in AV & Audio modes.
Mute / Blank
Blanks the video and mutes the audio in AV mode, blank in video mode and mute in audio.
Mode
Toggles between the three modes, AV, Video and Audio.
Volume Up & Down
Used to control the volume of the line level output. This control is a master volume control and thus affects all of the input volume levels but does not change the differences in attenuation. Therefore, once the input with the highest attenuation level reaches minimum volume, the volume cannot be reduced any more regardless of the current input level. The same applies for increasing the volume.
Mic Mix
When selected, the switched audio is combined with the microphone onto the balanced output. By holding the mix button for
Mic Mute
Mutes the microphone input when selected.
Audio Breakaway
When the device is in audio breakaway mode, the input that is highlighted is the last button pressed, it does not necessarily reflect the full extents of the switcher’s current status.
For example if in AV mode that PC1 was selected then the mode was change to video mode and Video 1 was selected then video 1 would be displayed but the audio would still be set the PC1 and not be reflected on the display at all.
