5. Einrichtungsanweisungen

The SES-XLR-AB can be configured in two primary ways: switching between two inputs to one output, or one input to two outputs.

5.1. Two Inputs to One Output Configuration

1. Connect your first audio source (e.g., microphone, mixer output) to the A female XLR input port using a male XLR cable.
2. Connect your second audio source to the B female XLR input port using a male XLR cable.
3. Connect the single male XLR output port of the SES-XLR-AB to your destination device (e.g., mixer input, audio interface) using a female XLR cable.
4. Use the A/B selector switch on the top panel to choose which input source (A or B) is routed to the output.

5.2. One Input to Two Outputs Configuration

1. Connect your single audio source (e.g., microphone, mixer output) to the single male XLR input port of the SES-XLR-AB using a female XLR cable.
2. Connect your first destination device (e.g., mixer input, audio interface) to the A female XLR output port using a male XLR cable.
3. Connect your second destination device to the B female XLR output port using a male XLR cable.
4. Use the A/B selector switch on the top panel to choose which output destination (A or B) receives the audio signal from the input.

Note: Ensure all XLR cables are balanced for optimal performance.

6. Bedienungsanleitung

Operation of the SES-XLR-AB is straightforward:

1. Ensure all audio connections are secure before operating.
2. To switch between the A and B paths, simply toggle the physical switch located on the top panel of the unit.
3. The switch provides a clear tactile indication of the selected path.
4. Since the unit is passive, there is no power button or indicator light. The switch functions purely mechanically.
