SSL X-Desk Delima?!?!!!?

[lordward]

Ok, I've searched the forum but couldn't find answers to my specific problem which is:

On the X desk everything is connected Sub D, no problem. I've got my ins' n outs' connected to the patchbay and all is well. HOWEVER, in order to use the CENTRE section and hook up master bus inserts and headphones to the cue you also need to connect to a Sub D in the rear of the X desk..... no problem.... except I cannot for the life of me find and documentation of which pins are connected to which function! I've search ssl.com and found no answers there. I'm hoping someone here can clarify.

In the manual it only says:

CENTRE OUT
D-Sub 25 way female
INS SEND L+R MIX L+R CUE L+R FX SEND 1
Provides master MIX Insert Send MIX Bus Output CUE Bus Output FX 1 Bus Output
FX SEND 2
FX 2 Bus Output

CENTRE IN
D-Sub 25 way female
INS RET L+R EXT L+R ST RET 1 L+R ST RET 2 L+R
Master MIX Insert Return External Stereo input Stereo Return 1 Stereo Return 2

But who, what, where and how?

Pin outs are in the install guide - download at Solid State Logic | Music

Uhhmmm... could you point me to the page? Install or User guide? I can only find this:

INS SEND L+R MIX L+R CUE L+R FX SEND 1
Provides master MIX Insert Send MIX Bus Output CUE Bus Output FX 1 Bus Output
FX SEND 2
FX 2 Bus Output
CENTRE IN
D-Sub 25 way female
INS RET L+R EXT L+R ST RET 1 L+R ST RET 2 L+R
Master MIX Insert Return External Stereo input Stereo Return 1 Stereo Return 2

I guess I could just hook up the sub d in a sequence of 8 and then figure out for myself which is what....

P42 and 43 of the Install Guide.

Thank you kindly! Don't know how I oversaw that.

I think this maybe because the 3 languages are in succession before the connection pages ...I made the same mistake.
