Midas XL3 Iref

[boogui]

Hello,
I'm currently working on a project to use old XL3 preamp/EQ (XL301 board) and fit them in a rack. I have a question regarding the I ref signal. Is it an input or output, what is the purpose of it ?
As i will use a custom power supply, do i need to connect it somewhere ?

Thanks for any explanations.

have a good day

Iref supplies Q3, Q4 & Q5 which are constant current sources for the LEDs on the channel. Connect a 1k 2W resistor between Iref on pin 2 and V- on pin 5, and all will be good.

Hello,
same to me. I wanna use a XL301 Channelstrip with a custom power supply. Do you have any suggestions for the PSU? I‘m a little bit confused about the 0VA Connections, what are they for? Did you bring your Channelstrip to a good working state?
Thanks a lot for your help!!
