Jukebox input
This input can be used to interrupt the signal of channels 2-5 of output A and/or B. In this case only the
signal of channel 1 (microphone) and channel 6 (stereo line) will still be passed on.
The jukebox input is only active if channel 6 is routed to output A and/or B. If channel 6 is routed to
output A only, then the signals of channels 2-5 which are routed to output A will be interrupted when
the jukebox input becomes active. The same applies to output B.
The jukebox input can be used in 3 ways:
n.o.
Connect a switch with a make-contact (normally open) between Tip and Ring. Jukebox
becomes active as soon as the contact is made.
n.c.
Connect a switch with a break-contact (normally closed) between Sleeve and Tip/Ring (i.e.
interconnect Tip and Ring). Jukebox becomes active as soon as the contact is broken.
voltage
Connect a DC voltage of 5-24V between Sleeve (-) and Tip (+). Jukebox becomes active
as soon as the voltage is applied.
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. These outputs are
equipped with relays to prevent connected equipment from 'plopping' when
the unit is being switched on and off.
Unbalanced outputs on cinch connectors. These can be used to connect the
Onyx to an amplifier or recorder.
Cinch connectors for the stereo channels. Each channel has two identical
inputs at line level (Line 1 and Line 2) for connecting equipment such as CD
players, keyboards and recorders. The input selector on the front panel can be
used to select which input is to be active. Channel 6 is fitted with a jukebox
input which can be used to interrupt channels 2-5.
Combined mono Mic/Stereo Line channel with an electronically balanced
microphone input on an XLR connector and a stereo cinch input at line level (-
14 dB sensitive). If the microphone is being used in unbalanced mode, pins 1
and 3 should be connected to the shield of the microphone cable.
This channel has two electronically balanced microphone inputs on XLR
connectors (Mic Front and Mic Rear). If the microphone is being used in
unbalanced mode, pins 1 and 3 should be connected to the shield of the
microphone cable.
Mains fuse. Dimensions 5 x 20mm (small), 315mA slow.
Euro mains socket. The Onyx operates at a mains voltage of 230V.
For all cinch connectors:
