INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of another great

Phonic product. The A2800 distribution mixer provides

an easy, convenient way to split your input signals

into up to 8 outputs on a single unit. Individual left and

right controls on each output channel ensure users

are given maximum control over your mixes, while

output level meters on each channel enable constant

monitoring of output levels for each independent

output.

Phonic strives to design and build products that are

practical in real-world situations. The A2800 provides

an ideal manner to distribute signals throughout public

address systems, communication systems, hotels,

discotheques, restaurants and theatres.

We know how excited you are to get started – hooking

up your mixer is probably your number one priority

right now – but before you go and do anything crazy,

we suggest you take a few minutes to take a look

through this manual. It contains a few helpful hints

and tricks that could help you better utilize the A2800’s

features and get you headed in the right direction.

FEATURES

• Extraordinarily low-noise 2 in, 8 out line distribution

mixer

• Pan / balance control on each output channel for

exible routing

• Flexible use as an output level matching preamp

or DI box

• Link in and out connectors for easy expansion of

16 or more outputs

• 5-segment output level meters for all channels

• 3-segment input level meters on each the left and

right inputs

• Individual left and right volume controls on input

channels

• Rugged construction with premium components

for long-lasting life

INSTALLATION

The A2800 ts into one standard rack unit. This

means it can be installed in a typical 19” rack. Be

sure to leave at least 1 rack unit of space between

this product and any other product that may emit

heat. It’s also advisable to ensure you have at least

5” (12.7 mm) of space at the rear of the unit to ensure

sufcient airow can reach the device.

POWER

The power rating of your product is completely

dependent on the region in which you purchased

it. The Phonic A2800 will conform to local power

requirements. If you purchased this unit overseas,

be sure to check that local power ratings conform to

those required by the unit.

WARNING: It is of utmost importance that you check

local voltage levels are suitable for your A2800 before

you plug it in and turn it on.

OPERATION

The concept of the A2800 is easy enough to

understand. Phonic have provided a single stereo

input that can have each the left and right channel

levels individually controlled. There are then 8

individual outputs, each of which has its own level

control and pan control. This being the case, you’re

actually able to utilize these outputs as 8 mono

outputs or 4 stereo outputs. Simply set the pan

control of one channel to the left, and another to the

right, and there you have it – a stereo mix.

CONNECTIONS

Phonic advises that you make all input and output

connections to the A2800 before activating the unit.

Use balanced connections wherever possible as to

provide maximum immunity from interference. When

turning on your system, start with devices connected

to input connectors, followed by the A2800, and

finally any output devices that need activating.

Repeat this process in reverse when turning off

your system.

FRONT PANEL

1. Left and Right Input Level Controls

These controls adjust the incoming signals from the

left and right inputs (located on the rear of the device).

These allow users to individually adjust the incoming

signals from each input channel.

2. Level Meters

Above each input and output channel you will nd a

level meter. These give constant indications of audio

levels. The input channels feature 3-segment meters

on each of the input channels (left and right). Output

channels all have 5-segment meters.

3. Level Control

Each output channel features a nal rotary control

allowing total control over your mix level.

4. Pan Control

This pan control is available on each of the output

channels. Use it to adjust the degree of the left and

right input signals the channel receive.

Pro-tip: to create a stereo channel, simply pan one output

channel to the left, and another to the right. Done! You now

have a stereo mix.

5. Power Switch

Turn the A2800 on and off using this switch.

REAR PANEL

6. Main Inputs

These combo jacks accept both balanced and

unbalanced signals from XLR and ¼” TRS phone

jack connectors. This is the main left and right input

of the A2800 and can consist of either a stereo signal

or two individual mono signals.

7. Link In & Out

These ¼” TRS phone jacks are for linking to other

A2800 units, enabling users to distribute signals to

up to 16 outputs when using two units.

8. Link Switch

This switch decides whether the LINK connectors are

inputs or outputs. Phonic advises that you adjust this

switch and make all connections before connecting

to the mains and activating the device.

9. XLR Outputs

Output channels 1 through 4 on the A2800 consist

of XLR connectors.

10. ¼” Outputs

Output channels 5 through 8, on the other hand,

consist of ¼” TRS phone jack connectors.

11. Power Connector

Connect the A2800 power cable to this socket. On

the lower part of this socket you will nd a small

compartment that holds the A2800 fuse. Be sure to

replace this with an identical fuse for your region to

ensure the A2800 powers on and operates correctly.

NB. Be sure to double check local power levels are identical to

those required by the A2800 before connecting and activating.

Connecting inappropriate power levels will be detrimental to the

unit.
