Connecting the Rubicon R8a
Lower your mixer’s master outputs to all the way off.
Connect the mixer’s Left Control Room output to the left-side Rubicon R8a LINE INPUT and the mixer’s
Right Control Room output to the right-side Rubicon R8a LINE INPUT.
Set the Rubicon R8a’s input Volume control to the 2 o’clock position.
Run an audio signal (like some music from a CD) through your mixer and raise the Control Room level
to a comfortable listening level.
Rubicon R8a Quick Connections
Note: Before plugging in and turning on, remember the “last on, first off” rule of power amplifiers (and pow-
ered monitors). When powering up your system, be sure that all the wires are connected, turn your mixer
and any other outboard gear on, and then last turn your Rubicon R8as' on. When powering down, turn your
Rubicon R8as' off first and then your mixer and outboard gear.
The Rubicon R8a connections can be made via one of the three rear panel Audio Inputs. You can use RCA
inputs for unbalanced -10dBV level signals, or either the 1/4-inch or XLR inputs for balanced +4dBu level sig-
nals. Follow the simple steps and diagram below for a quick connection using a standard recording console’s
control room outputs.
