XLR Outputs
These 14 male XLR connectors provide balanced line-level signals that represent the end of the mixer,
where the signals enter the real world. Connect these to line-level inputs of your main PA system, stage
monitors, external eects devices, headphone ampliers, and/or whatever else you desire. The PA/monitor
speaker system could either be passive (powered by external ampliers) and/or powered (with built-in power
ampliers). You may run separate mixes since all outputs are independent of each other and are completely
routable via the Master Fader control software. Pretty cool, huh?!
They are wired as follows, according to standards specied by the AES (Audio Engineering Society):
XLR Balanced Wiring:
Pin 1 = Shield (ground)
Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 = Negative (– or cold)
AES Output
This male XLR-style connector provides professional, balanced stereo digital output from the DL32R.
Connect this output to the AES digital inputs of an amplier, system processor, audio distribution
system or recording devices. Like the analog outputs, you may select the signals to send to the AES
output via the Master Fader control software.
Resist the temptation to use a standard audio-grade XLR cable. AES digital audio data
is transmitted at far higher frequencies and require a special cable.
It is wired as follows, according to standards specied by the AES (Audio Engineering Society):
AES Balanced Wiring:
Pin 1 = Shield (ground)
Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 = Negative (– or cold)
1/4" Monitor L/R Outputs
These 1/4" connectors allow you to send balanced or unbalanced line-level outputs to a wireless in-ear
monitor system or a pair of studio monitors. These could either be passive studio monitors powered
by an external amplier, or powered studio monitors with built-in power ampliers. If monitor outputs
are not needed, these connectors may be changed to output any signals on the mixer via the Master
Fader control software.
To connect balanced lines to these inputs, use a 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) plug. “TRS” stands for
Tip-Ring-Sleeve, the three connection points available on a stereo 1/4" or balanced phone jack or plug.
TRS jacks and plugs are used for balanced signals and stereo headphones and are wired as follows:
1/4" TRS Balanced Mono Wiring:
Sleeve = Shield
Tip = Hot (+)
Ring = Cold (–)
