We also reserve the right to make changes in the interest of further product development. This product complies with the European Electromagnetic Compatibility directives 89/336/EEC & 92/31/EEC and the European Low Voltage Directives 73/23/EEC & 93/68/EEC. This product has been tested to EN55103 Parts 1 & 2 1996 for use in Environments E1, E2, E3, and E4 to demonstrate compliance with the protection requirements in the European EMC directive 89/336/EEC. [. . . ] This is done by breaking the signal path after the hi-pass filter and before the rotary fader. With nothing inserted, the jumper plugs must be plugged in as shown so that the send signals are passed on to the return inputs. These plugs are provided with the console. To insert external equipment, first unplug the jumpers. Keep them in a safe place to use again in the future if needed. Use RCA phono cables to connect the insert send (SND) to the equipment input, and to connect the equipment output back to the insert return (RTN). Make sure the equipment is set to operate around 0dBu and has 0dB (unity) gain from its input to output. RTN SND RTN Important ! Make sure the jumper plugs are pressed fully in. To ensure the fine standard of sonic performance for which the XONE:V6 has been designed, use only the highest grade professional cables. Avoid the use of domestic grade cables. A note about cables 14 XONE:V6 User Guide Microphone Connectors MIC INPUT The microphone input is used for the DJ microphone. A hi-pass filter is built in to reduce low frequency handling noise, popping and proximity effect. An insert point is provided for patching in processors such as a compressor. Mic input MIC INSERT Balanced XLR, pin 2 hot. We recommend you use a rugged, professional grade, dynamic microphone specifically designed for the vocal application. This should be low impedance (less than 600 ohms), balanced and have a cardioid (directional) response to avoid feedback problems. Phantom power MIC TO BOOTH An internal option jumper is provided to select +30V to the XLR pins for use with microphones which require phantom power. Check the mic manufacturer's specification regarding these power requirements. WARNING Do not connect unbalanced sources or cables to the XLR input when phantom power is applied. To avoid loud clicks always turn the mic level down before plugging or unplugging phantom powered microphones. Insert Unbalanced TRS (stereo) jack wired tip = send, ring = return, sleeve = common ground. With nothing plugged in the signal is passed through internal switch contacts within the socket. Adjust the external equipment to operate around 0dBu and with 0dB (unity) gain from its input to output. XONE:V6 User Guide 15 MASTER INSERT Master Connectors The master mix to feed the house system is available on two pairs of sockets, XLR and TRS. A pre-EQ insert point is provided for patching in processors such as house equaliser and protection limiter. R MASTER OUT -2dBu L Insert Unbalanced TRS (stereo) jack wired tip = send, ring = return, sleeve = common ground. With nothing plugged in the signal is passed through internal switch contacts within the socket. Adjust the external equipment to operate around -2dBu and with 0dB (unity) gain from its input to output. R MASTER OUT Electronically balanced, wired pin 2 hot. Output level is +4dBu when the MASTER level control is fully clockwise and the VU meters read `0'. Note that this can be changed to 0dBu by resetting internal option jumpers. [. . . ] To change this to +6dB gain fit JP5 and JP9 only. For 0dB gain remove all four jumpers.

This keeps the jumper available to be re-used later in the future if needed. JP2 JP1 Phantom power 30V phantom power is disabled when JP1 is fitted. Plug the jumper on to JP2 instead if you wish to turn phantom power on. WARNING Do not connect unbalanced sources or cables to the XLR input when phantom power is applied. [. . . ]
