(11)
IN - This balanced XLR audio input
connects to the audio outputs of
your external equipment, such
as instruments, microphones,
and line-level outputs. The audio
signals are then passed on to the
inputs of the 500-series modules.
(12)
AUX IN - This balanced XLR audio
input is used if your module has
this capability.
(13)
AUX OUT - This balanced XLR
audio output is used if your
module has this capability.
(14)
OUT - This balanced XLR audio
output sends the output of the
module to the balanced audio
input of your external equipment.
Use the AUDIO switches if you
want to send the audio output
directly to the input of the next
module in line. In this case the
signals are sent internally and no
XLR patch cords are required.
(15)
COMP BUS - These switches are
used for those compressors that
allow linking together for stereo
or multi-channel compressor
applications. Only certain
compressors have this feature,
and our current MIDAS 522
compressor/limiter does not.
(16)
Rack Ears - The supplied rack ears
can be screwed to the sides of the
L6 to allow it to be rack-mounted
in a 19" 3U space. The feet on the
lower horizontal panel have to be
removed for the L6 to be fi tted
into a rack, if there is no free rack
space below. The handle and the 4
other feet (vertical) can be left in
place, as the rack ears cover them.
