D-Command with Fader..What cables do I need?

[postman56]

I had picked up a Blue D-command with the Fader Pack a while back and have decided to install it in my voice studios and booth and replace my aging Yamaha 02R.
It didn't come with a full set of cables so I thought I'd ask here and see if someone has a mapped out system or similar..
I plan on using a Rosetta 800 plus a Digi 192 with an anolog card as well for enough inputs, and have the HD sync and Apogee Big Ben.

Also I have the Xmon interface

Majority of my work is just stereo mix, I plan on running 8 mics out of the voice booth back to the control room along with video and headphone feeds.

Any suggestions for ease of use and functionality for I'm not completely clear on the optimum way to hook up an XMON since this D command is completely foreign to me would be greatly appreciated.

postman56,
Start here. Read it cover to cover a few times. There are sections describing the X Mon pinouts etc.

Will you be doing this yourself?

Hi Drew, yes I was hoping to hook it up my self, just have never worked with a Xmon Interface etc.

In that Doc, go to Appendix B and look it over. See what makes sense and what doesn't.

You're basically going to hook up your first two outs to the Main Input. Another pair to the Cue Input. Hook up your speakers to the Main Mon Outs, and/or Alt and Mini. The Cue out to your headphone amp.

That's the minimum.

This way, your headphone send flows through the X Mon (where it picks up your talkback mic) and goes to the booth.

You said no cables so you did not get the 15 pin cable that goes between the X-Mon and the Main unit?

Yes I've got e 15 pin cable that goes from the Main controller to the Xmon
Do I connect the second 192 through just the DB25 cable to one another?

Are you setting up for 2.0 or 5.1? for 5.1 I cross-wire the X-mon to follow SMPTE order (L, R, C, Lfe, Ls, Rs)

I usually put the monitor on the first 192 (analog 9-16 works well, leaving 1-8 for Inserts if I want them)

On the input side I go 192 > Patchbay > X-Mon (the patchbay leave an easy access point for calibration and testing)
