●Servo-balanced description

1, Typical Balanced Output

Fig1. Balanced connector

Balanced signal output is transmitted along with its phase reversed signal (RING) and the output signal

level will be amplified by the differential Amp as twice.

Fig2. Balanced Signal Output Flow

If the balanced output is connected Unbalance jack, the actual inside connection would be TIP & Sleeve

only so the output signal level will be the same as TIP. That means the output level is half (-6 dB) of

Balanced output. (See Fig3)

Such level loss has large influence to not only noise level but also level setting between equipments.

Fig 3. Unbalanced Signal Output with Balanced connection

2, Servo-Balanced Output

To minimize such sound level loss due to the different type of connectors, Servo- Balanced Output

controls its gain level in automatically to keep the same level between unbalanced and balanced type

signal.

Fig 4. Unbalanced Signal Output with Balanced connection

When unbalanced signal being input, Servo system is automatically recognized that there’s no signal is

feeding from RING and feed amplified signal back to TIP and that makes it flow without any SPL

attenuation in any condition.

Servo-Balance technology makes you free from the connector type problem between unbalance and

balance. Easy and simply hook your equipment up, that possible between of different I/O signals.

■ Connections Descriptions.

1) Microphone

• Microphone connects to Input 1/2 on the front panel of Windy6.

• Please note that mictophone should be connected by XLR type only.

• Select “Inst“ on the control panel as input source.

• Adjust gain using Knob on the front panel to control the input level.

2) Instrument

• Instrument connects to Input 1/2 on the front panel of Windy6

• Please note that instrument should be connected by TRS/TS type only.

• Select “Inst“ on the control panel as input source.

• Adjust gain using Knob on the front panel to control the input level.

3) Phone

• Headphone connects to HP connector on the front panel of Windy6.

• Using Mix Level knob, the headphone output can be monitored both output 1/2 and 3/4 simultaniously

or selectable. (Left: output 1/2 100% , Mid: 1/2 50%, 3/4 50%, Right: output 3/4 100%)

• Headphone output level can be controled by headphone volume knob.

- 8 -

4) MIDI controller

• MIDI OUT in your MIDI controller connects to MIDI IN of Windy6.

• If you use an external MIDI instrument, MIDI OUT of Windy6 conects to MIDI IN of your MIDI device.

5) External out board effect

• Your external processor can be connected via Insert connector.

- Input 1 -> Insert 1, Input 2 -> Insert 2

• Y-typed canble is required to use Insert connector with your external processor. Connects between

Windy6 insert and in/out of your device. (Tip : send / Ring : return)

6) Studio monitor

• Speaker connects to out put 1/2, 3/4.

• It is able to select a single stereo or dual stereo output from 1/2 and 3/4.

•. SPDIF out(out 5/6) connects to SPDIF supportable device.

- 9 -

7) Computer

• IEEE1394 cable connects between computer‘s IEEE1392 port and Windy6‘s IEEE1392.

• laptop should use with 4/6PIN connector that includes the package.

• Laptop should conennect with the external adaptor that includes in packsge for correct working.

●Using multi device

• Windy6 supports multi-device function that allows to use 2 more Windy6 at the same time.

• No1 Windy6 connects to computer and other 1394 port connects to No2 Windy6 1394 port to use

mutiple Windy6 simutaniouly.

• To use Multi device function should require DC adaptor for correct working.
