Help me install XLR option on Restyler?

I bought the Symmetrical output kit to mount in my Restyler… but there’s no guide on how to do it… not a single picture with an arrow pointing to the right spots on the PCB… I don’t even know if I have to disassemble the main board to do it… :sob:

anybody tried this ?
can you give me a step by step guide on how to do it ??

Best regards

Sorry, no clue at all.

How is the Restyler working out for you in you setup?

I have a chain of fx on my master insert on the desk : Restyler / Elysia Xpressor 500 / Elysia Xfilter 500…

Restyler has hard bypass and is not noisy… wonderfully creative and fun tool… easy to make sweet rhythmic filterings !

I was totally gasing for this, but alas, it won’t fit in my flight case with the rest of my gear. Just a couple inches too tall…

Did you try contacting Rodec or Sherman? I never did that to mine. The 1/4" are TRS balanced anyway.

I really dig mine. Great sounding a and a lot of fun to use.

@tsv I wrote mails to both Sherman and Rodec…haven’t heard anything yet… the TRS Outputs are balanced but for convenience I need XLR… will keep searching :o))

Gotcha. That’s too bad they haven’t yet responded. I’ll have a look at mine.

I found this picture of the XLR assembly.


I then opened up my unit. There’s the main PCB that attaches to the front panel and then an I/O PCB that attaches to the back.

After removing the bottom grey panel (4 black screws on bottom) you can easily remove the I/O board secured by the XLR screws, 2 additional screws and the 1/4" nuts. You don’t need to touch the front panel PCB.

There are two 3 way headers on there that I bet are your XLR output points. They are not labeled left right but you have a 50% chance of getting it right :).




WOW :joy:

that was way beyond the call of duty
THANK YOU… I’m no electrical engineer - but now I think I can handle it !

tsv if you were here - I’d buy you beer :+1:

Cool! Let me know how it goes.

first try late last night was not successful… I installed the board and plugged in… NO sound from xlr’s… plugged back to the TRS’ and now one channel has dropped 6db on those…

Caught up at work next 3 days… grrrrr… will report back sunday when I have the time to switch the cords 'round … but THX again for helping…solution must be right around the corner :slight_smile:

Darn!

When you get a chance can you post a pic of the XLR pcb? I can’t see it very well from what I’ve found online.

Thank s

will do…and thx again…hard work 'till Sunday :neutral_face:

finally had some time to look at it again…
could it be that the XLR output board needs power?
there’s an extra (red) lead coming out of the psu (no extra ground though)
and there’s a “3 legged” (white) plug on the XLR board… but only “2 legs” from PSU…and no ground…
connecting the 2 audio leads the wrong way round would only cause left/right to be reversed - right ?



And again - than for all and any help… 'tis driving me nutz

Hey

Yeah the board needs power for sure. It looks like you have That Corp balanced line drivers on there.

The red wire from the power is straight AC so it would have to be rectified, regulated and filtered to DC before the chips could take it. Don’t connect that red wire to the new board!

That makes it a little more complicated. Let me have a look at the I/O board again. I’m thinking one cable carries power and one carries the signal.

Cheers

Hmmmm makes sense… What does seem odd is that they sell the kit stating that installation is “plug and play” yet don’t supply any real installation info :frowning:
But thank you for taking time to try and sort me out… I’m such an electrical idiot :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Yeah it’s pretty lame that they didn’t supply instructions nor respond to emails.

I finally got a reply from Herman (Sherman)

" open the bottom, unsrew the small board.

locate the 2 sockets.

the closest to the cinch is the signal socket, the closest to the flatcable is the power.


Hope this works out

Herman "

will try tonight

So… with the help from Herman the Sherman, I now got it right!
plugging them the wrong way doesn’t harm the board… it just doesn’t work.

There are 2 identical plugs on the XLR board… 1 is the signal, the other is power… if you buy this option just go ahead and try… you have a 50% chance of getting it right on first try :joy:

Glad for at du fik det op og køre!
