XTL5000 - o5 Head - DEK setup

Post by LASD »

Is there anyone who has an XLT5000 with remote mount o5 Head with DEK box and Astro Siren Amp setup that works? If so, could someone please post a list of the cables, DEK and Siren amp model numbers. I have been reading for days and cannot find a post where all the info is compiled in one place.

Which cable is used to connect the Siren amp to the XTL5000?
Which cable is used to connect the DEK to the o5 control head? (I think it's "HKN6189B" But I just want to verify)
If anyone has a basic diagram of the setup, that would be of great help.

Thanks for any and all help on this.

HKN6189 is remote head to DEK cable

It uses the standard Astro Spectra Siren AMP and Siren Cable.

Edited the part #, the 6189 is the correct.

Got everything up and working properly. Interesting I was under the impression from some posts I read on the BastBoards that only the siren amp marked with "ASTRO" would work with the xtl5000. I have both the "ASTRO" and "SPECTRA" siren amps; I tried the SPECTRA model first and it works fine. I'll post the model numbers of all the parts I used.
