EN Dateq ONYX Manual Introduction 3 Dateq Onyx The Onyx is a 6-channel mixer with a clear and uncluttered appearance. It is highly suitable for use in -among other situations- conference centres, catering establishments, small discotheques and hotels. A total of three microphones and nine line signals can be connected. Channels 1 and 2 both have gain and dual tone controls to improve speech intelligibility.
Dateq ONYX Manual Installation EN Installing the Onyx The Onyx has been designed to be installed in a standard 19" rack mounting. This is why all the connectors have been located on the rear. The cabinet fits into an opening of 445 x 217 x 105 mm (W x H x D). See also the drawings below. The front panel is 3 mm thick.
EN Dateq ONYX Manual Connecions 5 Onyx connector board On the underside of the Onyx you will find the connectors for all the audio inputs and outputs. Also located here are the Euro mains socket with built-in mains fuse and the jukebox input. These connectors were deliberately placed on the underside because, in many cases, the Onyx will be installed in a standard 19" rack mounting. This arrangement ensures that the connectors do not take up unnecessary space in the rack.
Dateq ONYX Manual 6 Connections EN Connections BALANCED MASTER L/ R (A) Electronically balanced master outputs on XLR connectors for the left and right channels of MASTER A. This type of output guarantees perfect signal transmission even if long audio cables are being used.
