Additional X-Racks can be connected via this connector, allowing additional inputs

is detailed in Section 5.2 of the X-Rack Owner’s Manual; if the connector listing is

 

 

 

 

not present in your manual, a more recent copy may be downloaded from the Solid State Logic website

(www.solid-state-logic.com).

 

 

 

 

Only one XR622 master module is required per system – connecting two or more X-Rack units fitted with

 

XR622 modules together will cause serious gain errors and distortion (though it will not damage the system

 

electronics).
