  • Page 11: Basic Principles Of Mixing & Multitrack Recording

    Basic Principles of Mixing & Multitrack Recording The function of the X2 Mixer, or any recording console for that matter, is to provide control of volume, tone and spatial positioning of signals from microphones, electronic instruments, and tape machines, and then to route these signals to a monitor system and tape recorder so they can be recorded and heard.

  • Page 12: Mixdown

    0 VU on the meters of an analog multitrack tape machine, or -15 dB on the inserts of a digital multitrack tape machine, such as the Alesis ADAT. However, the transient peaks of instruments such as percussion may exceed this average level by 10 to 15 dB.
  • Page 13 Introduction X2 Reference Manual...

  • Page 14: 2: Guided Tour

    Recorder/Mix Systems The X2 is designed to be extremely flexible, as evidenced by the channel module design. This is where signals are mixed, EQ’d and routed to the Aux sends, Groups and Left and Right Master outs. Each channel provides a Tape In connector, where signals return from the multitrack recorder.
  • Page 15 SOLO and MUTE buttons. In the studio, the Group output usually is connected to the inputs of a multitrack recorder, such as the Alesis ADAT via the TAPE OUT jacks. During mixdown, the Groups may be “subgrouped” or assigned to the L-R Master mix, so that the Group modules can be used to adjust the master volume of like signals, such as multiple channels of drums or vocals.

    Aux Returns as additional line inputs. This is especially useful for keyboards that provide their own on-board signal processing, and therefore do not need to be routed to the other Aux Sends. X2 Reference Manual Guided Tour...

    Muting Automation The Master module comes complete with X2 Dynamic Mute Automation™. The display and accompanying controls let you record each individual press of a MUTE button anywhere on the console into the internal mute automation sequencer, synchronized to incoming ADAT Sync, MIDI Time Code or a MIDI Clock.

  • Page 20: 3: Connections

    The power supply comes with two cables. The first is a multi-pin adapter cable which connects between the power supply unit and the back panel of the X2. Do not use any multipin cable between the power supply unit and the X2 except that provided with the unit.
  • Page 21 You will find the X2’s power supply connector on the left side of the rear panel. Attach the female end of the AC power cord to the power supply unit and the male end to a good quality, noise-free AC power source of the proper rating.

  • Page 22: Avoiding Ground Loops

    In some cases, a “star grounding” scheme must be used, with the X2 at the center of the star providing the shield ground on telescoping shields, which do NOT connect to the chassis ground of other equipment in the system.

  • Page 23: Channel Inputs And Outputs

    Connecting the X2 Channel Inputs and Outputs Each of the 24 channel modules on the X2 contains an XLR balanced MIC Input connector, a 1/4" TRS balanced LINE Input jack, a 1/4" TRS balanced TAPE IN jack with a +4/-10 level switch, an unbalanced 1/4" TAPE SEND jack, and a TRS 1/4"...

  • Page 25: Tape Input

    Connecting the X2 Tape Input The Tape Input is a 1/4" balanced TRS connector which will accept either -10 dBV or +4 dBu, depending on the setting of the +4/-10 switch (see next section). The Tape Input is the normal source of the Monitor path. However, when the CHAN/MON REVERSE switch is pressed, the Tape Input is switched over to the Channel path (see section 6.0.5).

  • Page 26: Balanced Tape I/O

    The BALANCED TAPE I/O is a 56 pin ELCO connector designed to deliver eight channels of balanced +4 dBu tape inputs and outputs, such as that on the Alesis ADAT Digital Multi Track Recorder. There are three BALANCED TAPE I/O connectors provided which, when connected to three ADATs, provide the tape sends and returns of 24 digital tape tracks.

  • Page 27: Stereo Returns And Groups

    Connecting the X2 Stereo Returns and Groups Each of the four Group modules contain two 1/4" GROUP OUT connectors (for a total of eight Group Outs), two TRS 1/4" GROUP INSERT connectors (for a total of eight Group Inserts), and four 1/4" RETURN connectors (for a total of eight Stereo Returns).

    The ADAT SYNC is a 9-pin, D connector which is designed to connect to an ADAT system. The X2 uses the proprietary timecode found on an ADAT formatted tape to synchronize its Dynamic Mute Automation system to tape. For more information, refer to Chapter 5.

  • Page 31: Examples Of Connections

    Connecting the X2 Examples of Connections The X2 may be easily interfaced with most other professional recording and audio equipment. All inputs and outputs, with the exception of the microphone inputs, use 1/4" jacks. The microphone inputs are standard balanced XLR type jacks.

    Connect the tape machine’s outputs to the TAPE IN jacks of the same-numbered channels of the X2. Whenever you want to hear the playback of the machine, track 1 will appear on the Monitor section of channel 1, track 2 will appear on the Monitor section of channel 2, and so on (see section 6.1, Monitor Controls).

    ELCO connectors, a single ADAT can be connected to channels 1 through 8 on the X2, a second ADAT to channels 9 through 16, and a third ADAT to channels 17 through 24. This connection is basically the equivalent of wiring both the TAPE SEND and TAPE IN of each channel to an ADAT track, but uses +4 dBu balanced levels, instead of -10 dBV unbalanced.

    Control Room monitors. Interfacing to the Headphone Amp There are two different sets of Aux Sends on the X2. Aux 1 and 2, which are derived before the Channel FADER, are used primarily for setting up a separate cue mix for musicians to overdub to while listening to headphones.

    In order to ensure the cleanest signal with the least amount of background noise (hiss or hum), it is extremely important that proper level settings be maintained not only within the X2 itself, but throughout the entire audio system. Therefore, it’s best to observe the following guidelines when using the X2.

There are two basic stages to getting a low-noise, distortion-free signal flow from an effects device: Adjust the send level from the X2 to the effect device using the channel Aux Sends, the Aux Master, and the input controls of the effect device itself. This level should be as strong as possible without clipping the effect device.
