WEEE & RoHS Directives - Sonifex Statement

Sonifex S2-CDASE - WEEE & RoHS Directives - Sonifex Statement - 1

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive was agreed on 13 February 2003, along with the related Directive 2002/95/EC on Restrictions of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS).

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) aims to minimise the impacts of electrical and electronic equipment on the environment during their life times and when they become waste. It applies to a huge spectrum of products. It encourages and sets criteria for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment. All products manufactured by Sonifex Ltd have the WEEE directive label placed on the case. It gives a contact for individuals who are unsure about the correct procedure when the product has reached its "end of use".

Sonifex Ltd will be happy to give you information about local organisations that can reprocess the products, or alternatively all products that have reached "end of use" can be returned to Sonifex and will be reprocessed correctly free of charge.

Sonifex Ltd has phased out the use of certain hazardous substances identified in the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. The RoHS directive limits the use of certain hazardous substances currently used in EEE manufacture, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and halide-containing compounds PBB (polybrominated biphenyl) and PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ether). Elimination of these substances will result in more environmentally friendly recycling of electronic equipment. For the products which Sonifex manufacture, the main area where products were affected was in the use of lead for manufacturing and assembling electronics circuit boards.

Sonifex Ltd practices lead-free (LF) manufacturing processes. LF solder is used on the surface-mount PCB manufacturing processes and for hand soldering. The printed circuit boards (PCBs) used are either gold plated, or immersion tin plated, both of which use no lead. Historically the PCBs were hot air solder levelled (HASL) PCBs which used tin/lead based solder.

The manufacturing processes include the assembly of purchased components from various sources. Product is offered as RoHS compliant, or LF, only after sufficient evidence is received from the component manufacturers that their components are RoHS compliant. Sonifex Ltd relies solely on the distributor, or manufacturer, of the components for identification of RoHS compliance. Thus whilst every effort is made to ensure compliance, Sonifex Ltd makes no warranty, or certification, or declaration of compliance concerning said components.

Sonifex Ltd defines "Lead Free" as pertaining to any product, which has been manufactured by Sonifex Ltd using components which have been declared by the manufacturers as

1 Introduction

S2 is a new breed of radio broadcast mixer. Using the latest technology components, S2 offers digital audio quality with analogue reliability in a modular format. S2 has both digital and analogue input channels, together with simultaneous analogue and digital outputs.

Following on from the Sovereign range of audio mixers, 52 combines all the features needed of a radio broadcast mixer in a stylish, flush mounting chassis: a wide range of input and output channels, PFL/Cue, fader-start operation of equipment, automatic monitor muting on mic live, light switching remote outputs, optional EQ on input modules, gram amp input options and 2 main audio buses, allowing you to broadcast on the PGM bus while recording on the AUD bus, with bus output selection on each module.

Sonifex S2-CDASE - Introduction - 2
INTRODUCTION

Innovative Design

- The S2 chassis is available in 5 channel width sections, allowing 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 channel width mixers. This means S2 can be used for small newsrooms or large on-air situations. The following table shows the model number along with the total channel width.

1 INTRODUCTION

Sonifex S2-CDASE - INTRODUCTION - 1
INTRODUCTION

- The Script Space (S2-7SS) occupies an area of 7 channel widths, and is designed to hold documents/scripts for the mixer operator when desk space is at a premium. It is most commonly placed in the centre of the mixer, although it can be positioned anywhere within the mixer chassis. It has a hole in the rear of the front section to allow a keyboard/mouse cable to pass through and a 10 channel Script Space (S2-10SS), is also available.

Fig 1-2: S2-75S Script Space.

  • Blank channels (S2-CB) can be used to fill spaces in the chassis not occupied by active channels.
  • Modular "pop-up" input and output channels means that the mixer can be maintained simply and quickly. Input channels can be individually removed and repaired whilst still on-air.
    • The angle of the meterbridge can be varied and set for best viewing position.
  • Any channel can be in any position so that customizing the mixer for your own purposes is easy.
    • Large backlit buttons allow you to see the status of the mixer at all times.
  • The fitted rear panel hides all cable connections but can be simply removed for maintenance.
    • The modular design of the desk gives you the flexibility to expand it at a later date.

INTRODUCTION 1

Superb Audio Quality and Unquestionable Reliability

  • The S2 uses the latest Crystal semiconductor technology to allow input and output of digital audio signals up to 24 bit, 96kHz sample rate.
  • The analogue signal paths use low noise circuitry to provide superb audio performance well capable of satisfying radio listeners worldwide.
  • The high reliability and build quality of 52 minimizes the chance of failure, avoiding lost air time. Each channel is individually checked twice before being assembled into the finished chassis and the whole unit is tested before shipping.
  • ALPS long throw 100mm faders give a smooth, repeatable response and the Neutrik XLR connectors used are an industry standard.
  • The use of VCAs controlled by the faders ensures tight stereo tracking and eliminates mechanical and electronic noise.
  • S2 has a separate 1U power supply providing regulated, ripple-free power to the mixer.
  • High quality stainless steel is used for the chassis and screws to prevent corrosion in high humidity environments.

INSTALLATION NOTES

2 Installation Notes

Atmosphere

The S2 mixer should be installed in an area which is not subject to excessive heat or cold. Also, you should avoid installing it in atmospheric conditions which are dusty, smoky, or dirty, or where there is moisture or vibration.

Do not use any liquids to clean the fascia of the mixer: a soft dry brush is ideal. Use a clean cloth moistened with water or ethyl alcohol to clean the trim and scribble pads. Other solvents may cause damage to paint or plastic parts.

Electromagnetic Radiation

Avoid using the S2 mixer close to strong sources of electromagnetic radiation such as, video monitors or high power electric cabling. This may cause degradation of the audio quality due to induced voltages in connecting leads and chassis. The S2 power supply should also be sited at least 1 metre from the mixer.

In all cases the S2 mixer and power supply should be installed and serviced by qualified personnel.

Dimensions and Cut-Out Sizes

The S2 mixer consists of a stainless steel chassis with plastic side and top mouldings and aluminium front trim. The dimensions for the mixer below include the mouldings and trim. The cut-out size is for reference only and should be checked with your mixer.

INSTALLATION NOTES

Fig 2-2: Mixer Cut-Out Details

Channel Configuration

Each of the channels can be re-configured by jumpers, which are displayed in the "Channel Options and Jumper Settings" section of each chapter. You should ensure that you are thoroughly familiar with the settings available for each channel before attempting installation of the mixer. This is because some options may involve moving jumpers on several channels to change the configuration of the mixer.

Connectors and Cabling

Many of the problems associated with installing and maintaining a mixing console are due to the use of poor cables or faulty connections. It is recommended that, wherever possible, pre-wired cables are purchased from recommended manufacturers. If you need bespoke cables making, please ensure that a qualified engineer carries out the work.

Applications

This section of the handbook provides examples of how to configure the different types of modules for typical applications:

Controlling an On-Air Light Using the Output Modules

The On-Air light, also known as Mic Live, is used to indicate to everyone inside or outside of the Control Room and/or Studio that microphones are live and on-air.

Two sets of latching relay contacts, activated by a control room mute, are available on the 15 way D type socket on the rear panel of the PGM and AUD modules for the Control Room On Air light and Studio On-Air light respectively. See the Remote Connector pin-outs of the relevant modules for details.

Shown below is an example of connecting one of the latching relay contacts on the PGM or AUD modules to a Sonifex RB-LC3. The remote connection on the RB-LC3 is active low.

Controlling a Mic Cue Light using the Input Modules

The mic cue light is used to indicate to a guest, etc., situated in a talks studio, that they should speak. The cue light is usually green, and there is usually one per microphone. This should not be confused with a mic live light, which is red and there is one per studio or control room, also known as "On Air light" (see above).

Opto-isolated outputs for a mic cue light are provided on the remote connectors of the Mic/Mic and Mic/Line modules. See the Remote Connector pin-outs of the relevant modules for details.

NOTE: It is vital that mains voltages are NOT connected to any of the connectors.

Enabling Talkback On Mic Modules

Talkback is used for off-air communication between studios, or between the Presenter, the Studio guests and callers on the telephone line. The presenter's microphone module can be configured to be the talkback source to the studio guests and telephone callers by connecting pin 9 to pin 7 on the presenters Mic/Mic or Mic/Line modules remote connector. This talkback audio also appears on the talkback output connector on the control room monitor module as a continuous feed. It can be used for routing talkback to other destinations.

Cough Switch and Talkback On Mic Modules

A cough switch is used to momentarily mute the output of a live microphone channel when you wish to clear your throat. Closing pin 8 to pin 7 on a Mic/Mic or Mic/Line modules remote connector performs the cough function when the module is live, i.e. when the mic input is selected, the channel is routed, the channel is ON and the fader is up. This function can be used for the presenters mic but is more usually only provided for the studio microphones.

The cough switch performs the function of talkback to the presenter when the module is not live. In this case, when a studio guest presses his cough switch the microphone module is put in to PFL, which routes the pre fade mic signal to the control room monitoring where it can be heard by the presenter via his headphones or monitor loudspeakers. The presenter can talk back to the studio by using the Studio T/B button situated on the studio monitor module. For the presenter to hear the talkback from the studio automatically, either or both the control room monitor loudspeakers and the headphones should be set to Auto Cue/PFL. While the Cough switch is enabled, if PGM and/or AUD are enabled then they will flash quickly to indicate that Cough is enabled.

Using Voice Processors On Mic Channels

The Insert point on Mic input channels is useful for hooking up an outboard effects unit to be used with the microphone, for example, a voice processor. The insert send signal is always available as a line level balanced output. The insert return signal is enabled by placing jumper J10 on the channel, over pins 1 & 2. The insert return function is disabled in Line mode except when jumper JS. Mic on Line Input, is set.

Remote Start and Stop

When an input module is being used in line mode (e.g a Mic/Line on input 2 or a Dual Stereo module) it is usually necessary to control external equipment by means of the remote start and stop functions. See the relevant modules for pin out details.

If your equipment has a remote facility for "Fader Start" then this normally requires a latching contact to start, opening the contact will cause the equipment to stop. In this case it is only necessary to use the start remote, but you will need to make the contact latching

INSTALLATION NOTES 2

If your equipment has remote facilities for "Play", "Stop", "Re-Cue", it will be necessary to use both start and stop remotes. In this case you will need a momentary start. It should be noted that pins 2 & 5 on the input modules remote connector is common to start and stop and should be connected to the common pins on your equipments remote connector. Pins 1 & 4 on the remote should be connected to the "Play" pins on your equipment, and pins 3 & 6 should be connected to the "Stop" pins. Sometimes it may be useful to connect the mixer stop remote to the "Re-Cue" pin.

Adding Telco Channels

When adding a Telco channel to the mixer there are certain requirements that need to be met for the correct operation of the cleanfeed buses. Depending on whether you have 1, 2 or no telco channels filled, you may have to alter the cleanfeed bus termination on the digital PGM and AUD Output channels. If the console is supplied without Telco channels then both cleanfeed mix buses will need to be terminated. With one Telco channel, only the unused cleanfeed bus will require termination. With two Telco channels no termination is required. Please refer to that section of the handbook for further info.

The jumpers J11 and J12 on the Telco channel determine which of the two true cleanfeed buses the channel uses. There can only be a maximum of two telco channels in each mixer and they must not share a cleanfeed bus. If you have only one telco channel, the jumpers are fitted over pins 1 & 2 of J11, using cleanfeed bus 1. If a second telco channel is present in the mixer, then this second channel will have the jumpers fitted over pins 2 & 3 of J12, using cleanfeed bus 2 only.

Removing & Replacing Channels

When installing the mixer it may be necessary to change certain characteristics of a channel to suit your specific needs, e.g. jumper settings, Internal gain pots, etc. To do this the channel must be removed from the chassis to gain access to the jumpers and pots. Particular care must be taken when performing this procedure.

To remove a channel, first disconnect any attached cables from the rear of the channel, and remove the two screws from the front panel of the channel. The channel should now be lifted slightly from the chassis with the aid of springs situated at the two fixing points, with enough room to grab both ends of the channel, so that you can carefully lift it from the chassis. Be careful not to lay the channel across the mixer, as the underside of the channel PCB may cause scratching.

Once the necessary changes have been made, ensure that the main bus cable is still firmly attached and carefully position the channel directly above the space where it was removed from, holding it at a tilt, so that the fader end of the mixer will make contact with the chassis first. Slowly lower it down into the mixer, making sure that the main bus cable is

Connecting A Split Desk

There are three cables used when connecting an S2 mixer split desk configuration. A 16 way IDC cable which connects the two meterbridge distribution boards, A 60 way jacketed IDC cable which connects the two main mixer bus cables and an earth braid cable which connects the two chassis'. When shipped, these three cables will already be attached to one of the mixers and will require attaching to the other mixer. The procedure to do this is described below.

Connecting The Mixer Bus Interconnect Cable

On the under side of the mixer chassis are two slots at each end. These are where the mixer bus interconnect cable feeds through (Fig 2-13). The first thing to do is to remove the channel from the end of the mixer where the cable is going to be connected. If the interconnect cable is to be connected to the left handside mixer then this will be the right most channel of the mixer. If the interconnect cable is to be connected to the right handside mixer then this will be the left most channel.

Once the channel has been removed, pull the cable through the slot making sure that the cable has not twisted coming from the first mixer. Pull it through so that about 2 inches (5 cm) of the cable jacketing is inside the chassis. Connect the screening wire to one of the clamping plate screws and screw in the plate to the underside of the chassis to secure the cable, and stop it from moving (Fig 2-14).

Connecting The Meterbridge Interconnect Cable

To connect this cable some of the panels on the meterbridge will require removing to locate the meterbridge distribution board. Once located, find the IDC header labelled on the distribution PCB as "From Output Module". At the back of the mixer chassis there is a slot just above where the output modules sit. Feed the Meterbridge Interconnect cable through the slot and plug it into the header. Once this has been done, replace the meterbridge panels that were removed earlier to locate the distribution board.

Connecting The Earth Braid

As with the other cables, this will already be connected to one of the split desks. Simply connect the other end of the cable to the other desk, by unscrewing the outer M4 nut and removing the shakeproof washer. Then place the solder tag of the earth braid cable on the bolt and then replacing the shakeproof and M4 nut.

Rear Panel

It is important to connect the mains supply in accordance with the information given. Ensure that the rear panel mains voltage statement on the separate power supply indicates that your equipment is suitable for your mains supply voltage and that the mains supply fuse is correctly rated. The fuse as supplied is correct for the voltage setting.

The power cable supplied carries an EARTH conductor, which is connected internally to the equipment chassis ground. This connection through a properly wired power Connector is essential for safe operation. Disconnection of this earth connection may render the Equipment unsafe, with a consequential possible electrical shock hazard from exposed metallic parts.

Safety of Mains Operated Equipment

CE This equipment has been designed to meet the safety regulations currently advised in the country of purchase and it conforms to the safety regulations specified by use of the CE Mark.

This equipment will operate in a horizontal position.

WARNING: The power must be switched off at the supply or the power lead must be disconnected before attempting to remove the panels or cover. Removal of the panels and cover can expose dangerous voltages. The cover is connected to the chassis ground of the equipment by means of fixing screws. It is essential to maintain this earth-ground connection to maintain a safe operating environment.

In addition, to provide an Electromagnetic Shield, contact between the cover and the chassis must be maintained when in use.

The power supply is switchable between 230V & 115V.

Warning: There are no user serviceably parts inside the machine. If you should ever need to look inside the unit, always disconnect the mains supply before removing the equipment covers.

The rear panel of the equipment carries the Serial Number of the machine. The operating voltage of the S2 power supply is selectable at the fuse carrier on the power inlet port of the S2-PSU unit. Ensure that the machine operating voltage is correct for your mains power supply.

Power Cable and Connection

An IEC power connector is supplied with the S2, which has a moulded plug, attached – this is a legal requirement. If no moulded plug has been supplied with your S2, please contact your supplier, because an IEC connector is always supplied from the Sonifex factory.

The safety specification of your S2 power supply complies with local requirements and must be earthed through the mains connector.

If for any reason, you need to use the 52 with a different power cable, you should use the following wiring guidelines.

NOTE: The colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals of your plug.

Wire Colour Connection
Green and Yellow wire:must be connected to the terminal marked with E the colour green or green – yellow.
Blue wire:must be connected to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
Brown wire:must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

Fuse Rating

The S2 is supplied with a single fuse in the live conducting path of the power infeed at the power supply. For reasons of safety it is important that the correct rating and type of fuse is used. Incorrectly rated fuses could present a possible fire hazard, under equipment fault conditions.

Important Notes:

Please note that ALL connections to the mixer should be made before powering up the S2-PSU, otherwise this could trigger the over-current protection. If the over-current protection kicks in, then the unit needs to be powered down for approximately a minute to reset the over-current protection.

This 1U sized S2-PSU is incompatible with S2-PSUS power supply switchers with a serial number of 16948 or earlier. The S2-PSUS has been redesigned (from April 2011) to work with both 1U and 2U S2-PSU power supplies, but this is only for S2-PSUS switchers with a serial number higher than 16948. Contact Sonifex if you need to replace a 2U S2-PSU and are using an S2-PSUS power supply switcher - either a new version of the S2-PSUS will be required or a 2U S2-PSU power supply will need to be specifically requested.

The fan is started and run briefly every few minutes to check that it is in operation and to ensure that it doesn't freeze through lack of use over time.

The S2-PSUS is a passive power switcher which takes the power feeds from 2 x S2-PSU units and switches between them in the event of failure. Two trailing leads 0.5 m in length connect to 2 x S2-PSU units. With LED failure indicators and GPI alarms the S2-PSUS is the perfect dual redundant power supply module.

Functionality

As an intelligent unit, the S2-PSUS detects changes in the DC levels supplied to the S2. A failure in any one of the VD, +VF , -VF or +48V power rails, defined by calibrated limits, results in switching to the secondary power unit. If the glitch was temporary and the primary power unit recovers, the S2-PSUS will switch back. Once it has switched back, the unit has to remain stable for one minute for the power supply to be deemed stable again.

A failure count is incremented every time the unit returns and fails within the minute period. Once three failures have occurred the rail is no longer used and the unit will only use the secondary power supply. If the secondary power supply fails, the unit will enter 'Joint Mode' and attempt to complete the power rail set from the primary power supply. Again, if the secondary power supply recovers, it is given a minute to stabilize. Three or more failures on the same rail will result in a permanent failure to that rail. If the same rail fails in both supplies, the unit will cut all power to the mixer except in the case of the phantom power +48V rail.

Two indicator LEDs on the front of the unit are used to display which power supply is currently supplying the mixer. There are also eight LEDs that display the status for each of the rails.

The LED will stay illuminated when the rail is stable. If the LED flashes quickly (1/4 second), then the level is too high on that rail or if the LED flashes slowly (1/2 second), then the level is too low on that particular rail. If the unit is in 'Joint Mode', then both active LEDs will be

Resetting the S2-PSU States

The S2-PSUS detects when a power supply has been removed or unplugged. If this occurs, the S2-PSUS assumes the power supply has been serviced and all failure statistics are refreshed. If a rail has failed permanently, removing or unplugging the supply will allow the rail to be fully tested again, once reinstated. Removing both power supplies will reset the S2-PSUS, indicated by the alternating front led sequence.

Usage Advice

The unit has been designed to give the user as little down time as possible. If an S2-PSU rail reaches an unrecoverable state, please remove and service it. If an extreme fault occurs (total loss of power) on the +VD rail, the switch over can cause a reset of digital modules which will result in a small audio glitch.

There are alarm outputs on the rear of the unit, created using opto-isolator switches. These alarm outputs mimic those on the front panel and there is also an alarm relay which operates as a warning for total unit failure. This will come on if the both power supplies have failed.

Power Input Connectors

Two trailing leads 0.5m in length are used to connect 2 x S2-PSU units to the power switcher.

Power Output Connector

This 9 pin D type connector (see Fig 2-9) is used to route power to the Mixer from either the master or slave power supply. It has the same connections as the output from the PSU (see above).

text_image S INPUT CHANNELS 4

4 Input Channels

There are eleven different input channels available for installation in the mixer as well as a blank channel and script space.

The modules carry some common features, such as the ability to select the output as PRG and/or AUD and each button on a module can be programmed in different modes, depending on your requirements. The channels are each covered in the following chapters, but a summary follows:

S2-CML Mic/Line Input Channel

The Mic/Line Input channel is a mono input with a button switch to select either Mic or Mono Line. If the Mic input is used for the presenter's mic it can also become the talkback mic. The talkback function will be retained when the channel input is switched to Line. Equalisation is fitted as standard on this channel and is enabled by the EQ button, providing 7dB cut and boost at HF (6.5kHz) and LF (100kHz). The Mic input has a jumper selectable high pass filter to remove low frequency intrusions. A Pan control is available to facilitate stereo imaging. A balanced line level insert send and return is available for the Mic input but is disabled in Line mode.

Channel coarse gain is set by internal presets for mic and line – fine gain is trimmed by the front panel Trim control providing ± 12dB of gain. The channel has a Pre Fade Listen (CUE/PFL) facility that can be automatically disabled when the fader is opened. There are logic remote input controls for Mic Cough muting and Reverse Talkback, and output controls for Mic cue lights and Line remote start/stop by fader or ON button. The remote outputs on the 9 way D type plug are fed from NPN opto-isolators. The Mic Input provides a jumper selectable output to facilitate either Control Room or Studio Muting and Timer functions. In addition the Line input can be configured with all the features of the Mic input when used as a Mic input with an external mic amp.

S2-CMM Mic/Mic Input Channel

The Mic/Mic Input channel has all the features of the Mic/Line Input channel except that the Line Input is replaced by a second Mic Input.

S2-CS Dual Stereo Line Input Channel

The Dual Stereo Input channel has two balanced stereo inputs with a button switch to select between them. Each input is on XLR connectors with internal coarse gain adjustment. Fine gain is trimmed by the front panel Trim control providing ± 12dB of gain. A Balance control is available for small adjustments of the stereo image. The channel has a Pre Fade Listen (CUE/PFL) facility that can be automatically disabled when the fader is opened.

S2-CSE Dual Stereo Line Input with EQ Channel

This channel is the Dual Stereo Input channel as above but fitted with equalisation, providing 7dB cut and boost at HF (6.5kHz) and LF (100Hz).

S2-CSG Stereo Line with Gram Input Channel

This channel is the Dual Stereo Input channel fitted with a RIAA input amplifier on the second input. Input connections for this are unbalanced on phono sockets. This channel is also available with equalisation, type number S2-CSGE.

S2-CDS Digital Dual Stereo Input Channel

The Digital Dual Stereo Input channel has two 24-bit 96kHz digital inputs with a button switch to select between them. Either input can be configured to be balanced AES/EBU on standard XLR, or S/PDIF on phono sockets, selected by internal jumpers. The digital signals are converted to analogue and from this point the channel functions are the same as the Dual Stereo Line Input channel.

S2-CDSE Digital Dual Stereo Input with EQ Channel

This channel is the Digital Dual Stereo Input channel as above but fitted with equalisation, providing 7dB cut and boost at HF (6.5kHz) and LF (100Hz).

S2-C6SS 6 Way Stereo Line Source Select Channel

The 6 Way Stereo Line Source Select channel has 6 balanced stereo inputs on a 25 way D type connector selectable by a 6 way mechanical Interlocking switch bank. The switch bank also controls 6 sets of remote outputs allowing each source to have a set of start/stop remotes. The channel is fitted with EQ as standard and other functions similar to the dual stereo input channel.

S2-CT Telco Input Channel

The Telco Input channel controls the connection to the telephone balance unit (hybrid). It has only one mono input with EQ fitted as standard. Equalisation is enabled by the EQ button, providing 7dB cut and boost at HF (6.5kHz) and LF (100Hz). A Pan control is available to facilitate stereo imaging. A balanced line level output is provided for the cleanfeed back to the hybrid.

Channel coarse gain is set by an internal preset and fine gain is trimmed by the front panel Trim control providing ± 12dB of gain. The channel has a Pre Fade Listen (CUE/PFL) facility that automatically routes talkback to the caller when selected. PFL can be automatically disabled when the fader is opened. There is a logic remote output to place the hybrid "on hold" by using the LINE HOLD button. The remote output on the 9 way D type plug is fed from an NPN opto-Isolator.

Sonifex S2-CDASE - S2-CT Telco Input Channel - 1

text_image S INPUT CHANNELS 4

S2-CSMM Stereo Mix-Minus Channel

The Stereo Mix-Minus channel has one balanced stereo input and a balanced stereo mix-minus output, on XLR connectors. The channel is intended for use where a remote stereo source, such as another studio connected via ISDN, requires a stereo cleanfeed return. The cleanfeed is generated by the mix-minus method from either the PGM or AUD outputs, depending on the routing selection.

The outputs on this channel can also be configured by jumpers as a mono sum of mix-minus on the left channel and continuous talkback on the right channel (for use with some ISDN codec applications and telephone balance units).

Equalisation is fitted as standard on this channel and is enabled by the EQ button, providing 7dB cut and boost at HF (6.5kHz) and LF (100Hz). Coarse input gain is adjusted internally. Fine gain is trimmed by the front panel Trim control providing ± 12dB of gain. A Balance control is available for small adjustments of the stereo image. The channel has a Pre Fade Listen (CUE/PFL) facility that can be automatically disabled when the fader is opened.

There is a logic remote output function controlled by fader or ON button. The remote function can be configured to be either momentary (500mS) or latched. The remote outputs on the 9 way D type plug are fed from NPN opto-isolators.

S2-PG S2 Penny & Giles Conductive Plastic Fader

The Input and output channels of an S2 mixer can optionally be fitted with high quality Penny & Giles faders.

Panel Controls

PGM and AUD Selection

Selecting the PGM, AUD buttons routes the channel audio output to the PGM and/or AUD mix buses. The buttons are illuminated in green to indicate the routing status. Changing the status of the PGM button is inhibited when the channel is "live".

MIC/LINE Selection

Selecting the MIC/LINE button changes the channel input connection between Mic and Line. The button is illuminated in red to indicate when Line is selected. The operation of the button is inhibited when the channel is "live".

Equalisation Controls

The HF and LF controls are used to adjust the equalisation of the signal. The HF control boosts and cuts the signal by ±7dB at 6.5kHz. The LF control boosts and cuts the signal by ±7dB at 100Hz. The EQ button places the equalisation in and out of the signal path. The button is illuminated in yellow when the EQ is active.

TRIM Control

The Trim control provides an additional ±12dB of gain to fine tune the input signal level.

BAL/PAN Control

The Bal control is used to pan the mono input signal in the stereo image. Full anti-clockwise pans the signal to the left and increases the signal by 3dB (right channel reduces by 70dB); full clockwise pans the signal to the right and increases the signal by 3dB (left channel reduces by 70dB).

CUE/PFL Selection

Selecting the CUE/PFL button routes the pre-fader input signal to the monitoring system where the signal can be heard via headphones and/or loudspeakers. The level may be checked on meters and adjusted via the TRIM control and panned via the BAL/PAN control. The button is illuminated in green when CUE/PFL is active. There is a jumper option to cancel the CUE/PFL selection when the fader is raised. This button works with both a momentary and latched operation. If held down,

the selection is cancelled when released, otherwise the button is alternate action.

S2-CML MIC/LINE CHANNEL WITH EQ 5

ON Selection

The ON button works in conjunction with the fader and is used to control channel remotes, routing, timers, etc. The button shows various states. When unlit the channel is off. Flashing red indicates that the channel has been selected to ON but remains unropped i.e. neither PGM or AUD is selected. Steady red indicates that the channel is ON and "armed", ready for the fader to be raised. Raising the fader changes the illumination to green indicating that the channel is live. Alternatively, with the button until the fader may be raised and the channel can be operated simply by selecting ON. The illumination in this case toggles between unit, channel OFF and green, channel ON. Remotes, etc, are triggered when the fader is up and the channel ON button shows green.

Fig 5-1: S2 Mlc/Line Input Board Layout

Remote for Mic Cue Light

The remote output for the Microphone input (Input 1) can be used to operate a Mic Cue light when the channel is ON and the fader is up. This should not be confused with a Mic Live light. The Mic Cue light is used for indicating to presenter or guest that they should talk into the microphone. Jumper J1 is placed over pins 1 & 2. This is the default setting and produces a latched remote output.

Remote for Line

The remote output for the Line input (Input 2) can be used for starting a machine such as a CD or MD player. The default setting produces a momentary remote output. If a latched output is required then a jumper should be placed over pins 1 & 2 of J2. The remote stop output for the Line input is always momentary.

Continuous Momentary Start

The continuous momentary start function is rarely used on the Mic/Line channel and therefore J3 should be left in the default setting.

CUE/PFL Cancel

The CUE/PFL function is normally an alternate action. Press the button to select and press again to de-select. However it may be desirable to have the fader up signal cancel a Cue/PFL selection. Placing a Jumper over J4 pins 1 & 2 will enable a previously selected Cue/PFL function to be cancelled when the fader is up and the channel is ON. The default setting is none (not fitted).

Mic Signalling on Line Input

In certain circumstances it may be desirable that a line input is treated as mic input by the

S2-CML MIC/LINE CHANNEL WITH EQ 5

Placing jumper J5 over pins 1 & 2 will enable the muting functions on the line input. The default setting is none (not fitted).

Phantom Power

If you will be using a phantom powered microphone, jumper J6 must be placed over pins 1 & 2. If a normal microphone is used the jumper should be left over pins 2 & 3. With phantom power selected a voltage of +48V is applied to pins 2 & 3 of the XLR connector. The voltage is applied through 6kB resistors limiting the current to 14mA. The default setting is with the jumper over pins 2 & 3.

Microphone LF Response

The default setting of J7 is with the jumper over pins 1 & 2 which gives a full LF response to the microphone. However, if your studio is acoustically poor and suffers from a lot of low frequency rumbles the LF response of the microphone can be rolled off at 125Hz, 6dB per octave, to reduce these acoustic problems. This is achieved by removing jumper J7. Jumpers JB and J9 are not fitted to the Mic/Line channel.

Enabling the Insert Point

The Insert point is useful for hooking up an outboard effects unit to be used with the microphone, for example, a voice processor. The insert send signal is always available as a line level balanced output. The insert return signal is enabled by placing jumper J10 over pins 1 & 2. The insert return function is disabled in Line mode except when Jumper JS, Mic on Line Input, is set. The default setting of J10 is none (not fitted).

Jumpers J11 and J12 are not fitted to the Mic/line channel.

Mic Live Muting

The microphone input can be set to mute the control room or studio monitors. The default setting of J13 over pins 1 & 2 will enable a live microphone to mute the control room monitors. If it is required to mute the studio monitors the jumper should be shifted to pins 2 & 3. If no muting is required, the jumper should be removed. When a line level mic is used on Input 2, J15 sets the muting function. A jumper over pins 1 & 2 will mute the control room monitors and over pins 2 & 3 will mute the studio monitors. Line input (input 2) muting is only enabled when jumper JS. Mic on Line Input, is set. The default setting of J15 is none (not fitted).

Timer Auto Start

The dual timer in the meterbridge can be set to start automatically from a fader open/ channel On signal. Jumper J14 determines which timer is set to auto-start. A jumper over pins 1 & 2 will start Timer 1, shifting the jumper to pins 2 & 3 will start Timer 2. The default setting of J14 is none (not fitted). Please note that the Timer Auto Start is only available on the Line Input.

Presets

Two presets are available for adjustment of the input gain for the mic and line levels.

The mic preset, P1, provides 59dB of gain adjustment, allowing an input range of -7dB to -66dB. The preset should be adjusted to give 0dB output for the chosen microphone in use. The level is preset for -50dB input when shipped.

The line preset, P3, provides 16dB of gain adjustment, allowing an input range of +6dB to -10dB referenced to 0dB output. The preset should be adjusted to give 0dB output for the chosen source, and will cater for professional equipment with nominal output levels up to +4dB and non-professional equipment with nominal output levels down to -10dBV. The level is preset for 0dB input when shipped.

Presets P5 & P6 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion). They are factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

A third preset, P9, sets the VCA fader gain to 0dB when the fader is fully open. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment, unless it has been found necessary to replace the fader or other VCA components.

Button Mode Settings

To make the S2 modules as flexible as possible, every button on each channel can be set to a number of different modes. These will aid in the use of the mixer and allow for extra functionality. To make use of these modes, you must enter a setup mode which is exactly the same for every module. It is only necessary to perform this procedure once.

To enter the setup mode, hold down the PGM and AUD buttons together for 5 seconds. After which all the buttons will start a recurring flashing sequence, at this point it is ok to release the PGM and AUD buttons. This sequence indicates the mode which each button is currently set to. One flash equals mode one, two flashes equals mode two etc. To change the mode for a particular button simply press it once and watch the number of flashes increase. Once the maximum mode number has been reached it will simply wrap around to mode one and continue as before. To exit this setup procedure press and hold both the PGM and AUD buttons as before for 2 seconds and the module will start operating as normal.

PGM and AUD Selection

Selecting the PGM, AUD buttons routes the channel audio output to the PGM and/or AUD mix buses. The buttons are illuminated in green to indicate the routing status. Changing the status of the PGM button is inhibited when the channel is "live".

MIC 1/MIC 2 Selection

Selecting the MIC 1/MIC 2 button changes the channel input connection between MIC 1 and MIC 2. The button is illuminated in red to indicate when MIC 2 is selected. The operation of the button is inhibited when the channel is "live".

Equalisation Controls

The HF and LF controls are used to adjust the equalisation of the signal. The HF control boosts and cuts the signal by ±7dB at 6.5kHz. The LF control boosts and cuts the signal by ±7dB at 100Hz. The EQ button places the equalisation in and out of the signal path. The button is illuminated in yellow when the EQ is active.

TRIM Control

The TRIM control provides an additional ±12dB of gain to fine tune the input signal level.

BAL/PAN Control

The BAL/PAN control is used to pan the mono input signal in the stereo image. Full anti-clockwise pans the signal to the left and increases the signal by 3dB (right channel reduces by 70dB); full clockwise pans the signal to the right and increases the signal by 3dB (left channel reduces by 70dB).

CUE/PFL Selection

Selecting the CUE/PFL button routes the pre-fader input signal to the monitoring system where the signal can be heard via headphones and/or loudspeakers. The level may be checked on meters and adjusted via the Trim control and panned via the Bal control. The button is illuminated in green when CUE/PFL is active. There is a jumper option to cancel the CUE/PFL selection when the fader is raised. This button works with both a momentary and latched operation. If held down, the selection is cancelled when released, otherwise the button is alternate action.

ON Selection

The ON button works in conjunction with the fader and is used to control channel remotes, routing, timers, etc. The button shows various states. When unlit the channel is off. Flashing red indicates that the channel has been selected to ON but remains unrouted i.e. neither PGM or AUD is selected. Steady red indicates that the channel is ON and "armed", ready for the fader to be raised. Raising the fader changes the illumination to green indicating that the channel is live. Alternatively, with the button until the fader may be raised and the channel can be operated simply by selecting ON. The illumination in this case toggles between unit, channel OFF and green, channel ON. Remotes, etc., are triggered when the fader is up and the channel ON button shows green.

Remote for Mic 1 Cue Light

The remote output for the Microphone 1 input can be used to operate a Mic Cue light when the channel is ON and the fader is up. This should not be confused with a Mic Live light. The Mic Cue light is used for indicating to presenter or guest that they should talk into the microphone. Jumper J1 is placed over pins 1 & 2. This is the default setting and produces a latched remote output.

Remote for Mic 2 Cue Light

The remote output for the Microphone 2 input can be used to operate a Mic Cue light when the channel is ON and the fader is up. This should not be confused with a Mic Live light. The Mic Cue light is used for indicating to presenter or guest that they should talk into the microphone. Jumper J2 is placed over pins 1 & 2. This is the default setting and produces a latched remote output.

CUE/PFL Cancel

The CUE/PFL function is normally an alternate action. Press the button to select and press again to de-select. However it may be desirable to have the fader up signal cancel a CUE/PFL selection. Placing a jumper over J4 pins 1 & 2 will enable a previously selected CUE/PFL function to be cancelled when the fader is up and the channel is ON. The default setting is none (not fitted).

Phantom Power Mic 1

If you will be using a phantom powered microphone, jumper J6 must be placed over pins 1 & 2. If a normal microphone is used the jumper should be left over pins 2 & 3. With phantom power selected the voltage of +48V is applied to pins 2 & 3 of the XLR connector. The voltage is applied through 5kR resistors limiting the current to 16mA. The default wire is with the

S2-CMM MIC/MIC CHANNEL WITH EQ 6

frequency rumbles the LF response of the microphone can be rolled off, at 125kHz, 6dB per octave, to reduce these acoustic problems. This is achieved by removing jumper J7.

Phantom Power Mic 2

If you will be using a phantom powered microphone, jumper J8 must be placed over pins 1 & 2. If a normal microphone is used the jumper should be left over pins 2 & 3. With phantom power selected a voltage of 148V is applied to pins 2 & 3 of the XLR connector. The voltage is applied through 6kB resistors limiting the current to 14mA. The default setting is with the jumper over pins 2 & 3.

Mic 2 LF Response

The default setting of J9 is with the jumper over pins 1 & 2 which gives a full LF response to the microphone. However, if your studio is acoustically poor and suffers from a lot of low frequency rumbles the LF response of the microphone can be rolled off, at 125kHz, 6dB per octave, to reduce these acoustic problems. This is achieved by removing jumper J9.

Enabling the Insert Point

The Insert point is useful for hooking up an outboard effects unit to be used with the microphone. The insert send signal is always available as a line level balanced output. The insert return signal is enabled by placing jumper J10 over pins 1 & 2. The default setting of J10 is none (not fitted).

Jumpers J11 and J12 are not fitted to the Mic/Mic channel.

Mic Live Muting

The microphone inputs can be set to mute the control room or studio monitors. The default setting of J13 over pins 1 & 2 will enable a live microphone on Mic 1 input to mute the control room monitors. If it is required to mute the studio monitors the jumper should be shifted to pins 2 & 3. If no muting is required, the jumper should be removed. Similarly, J15 sets the muting function for the microphone on Mic 2 input. A jumper over pins 1 & 2 will mute the control room monitors and over pins 2 & 3 will mute the studio monitors. The default setting of J15 is none (not fitted).

Talkback Mic Selection

When the channel is enabled as a talkback MIC, the talkback input can be selected from either MIC1 or MIC2 using J16. This is independent of the active MIC input. To enable the microphone input to be added to the talkback bus, connect pins 7 (DV logic) and 9 (Talkback mic enable) on the remote connector. This is useful if, for example, you want to use the mic channel to talk to a caller connected to the cleanfeed output of the telco channel.

Presets

Two presets are available for adjustment of the input gain for mic 1 and mic 2 levels. Mic 1 preset 01 and mic 2 preset 02 provide 50dB of gain adjustment, allowing an input

Sonifex S2-CDASE - S2-CMM MIC/MIC CHANNEL WITH EQ - 1

Sonifex S2-CDASE - S2-CMM MIC/MIC CHANNEL WITH EQ - 2

A third preset, P9, sets the VCA fader gain to 0dB when the fader is fully open. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment, unless it has been found necessary to replace the fader or other VCA components.

Button Mode Settings

To make the S2 modules as flexible as possible, every button on each channel can be set to a number of different modes. These will aid in the use of the mixer and allow for extra functionality. To make use of these modes, you must enter a setup mode which is exactly the same for every module. It is only necessary to perform this procedure once.

To enter the setup mode, hold down the PGM and AUD buttons together for 5 seconds. After which all the buttons will start a recurring flashing sequence, at this point it is ok to release the PGM and AUD buttons. This sequence indicates the mode which each button is currently set to. One flash equals mode one, two flashes equals mode two etc. To change the mode for a particular button simply press it once and watch the number of flashes increase. Once the maximum mode number has been reached it will simply wrap around to mode one and continue as before. To exit this setup procedure press and hold both the PGM and AUD buttons as before for 2 seconds and the module will start operating as normal.

Each button and their corresponding modes are listed below.

Remote for Line 1 Input

The remote output for the Line 1 input can be used for a start and stop function wired to other studio equipment such as CD or MD players. The default setting for J1 is none (not fitted), which produces a momentary remote contact. If your equipment requires a latching contact for remote start then a jumper should be placed over pins 1 & 2 of J1. The remote stop for Input 1 is always momentary.

Remote for Line 2 Input

The remote output for the Line 2 input can be used for a start and stop function wired to other studio equipment such as CD or MD players. The default setting for J2 is none (not fitted), which produces a momentary remote contact. If your equipment requires a latching contact for remote start then a jumper should be placed over pins 1 & 2 of J2. The remote stop for Input 2 is always momentary.

Continuous Momentary Start

The continuous momentary start function can be used for equipment that only ever requires a remote start but not a stop. Placing a jumper over J3 pins 1 & 2 enables the function. When enabled the operation of the ON button is changed to a continuous start button. With the fader down, the button shows red. With the fader up, the button shows green and each press of the ON button will trigger a momentary start from the remote contacts. The default setting for J3 is none (not fitted). It is not possible to configure a latching remote start output when the continuous momentary start option has been selected.

CUE/PFL Cancel

The CUE/PFL function is normally an alternate action. Press the button to select and press again to be select. However it may be desirable to have the fader up signal cancel a CUE/PFL selection. Placing a jumper over J4 pins 1 & 2 will enable a previously selected CUE/PFL function to be cancelled when the fader is up and the channel is ON. The default setting is none (not fitted).

Jumper JS is not fitted to this channel.

Timer Auto Start

The dual timer in the meterbridge can be set to start automatically from a fader open/channel On signal. Jumper J6 determines which timer is set to auto-start. A jumper over pins 1 & 2 will start Timer 1, shifting the jumper to pins 2 & 3 will start Timer 2. The default setting of J6 is none (not fitted).

The presets should be adjusted to give 0dB output for the chosen source, and will cater for professional equipment with nominal output levels up to +4dB and non-professional equipment with nominal output levels down to -10dBV. The levels are preset for 0dB input when shipped.

Presets P15 & P16 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion). They are factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

A seventh preset, P17, sets the VCA fader gain to 0dB when the fader is fully open. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment, unless it has been found necessary to replace the fader or other VCA components.

General Purpose I/O

Two I/O pins are available on the remotes connector that can be configured for general purpose use. They are completely configurable and can be set as inputs or outputs, latching or momentary and active high or active low.

The setup procedure for configuring the pins is described in the following steps. Since the settings are stored in non-volatile RAM, this only needs to be done once.

  • To initiate setup, press and hold down the PGM button while pressing the AUD button five times. Once completed, all the buttons will turn off and after a short while will display the current setting for GPIO 1's function (pin 8 on the remote connector).
  • Using the PGM button, cycle through the following options (shown in the table below) until the desired setting is selected. For example to set GPIO 1 to a latching, active high input, press the PGM button until only the CUE/PFL button is illuminated ON. This setting is then applied by pressing the ON button. The PGM button will flash quickly for about a second to indicate that the setting is stored.

Panel Controls

PGM and AUD Selection

Selecting the PGM, AUD buttons routes the channel audio output to the PGM and/or AUD mix buses. The buttons are illuminated in green to indicate the routing status. Changing the status of the PGM button is inhibited when the channel is "live".

LINE/GRAM Selection

Selecting the Line/Gram button changes the channel input connection between Stereo Line on XLR and RIAA on phone. The button is illuminated in red to indicate when Gram (RIAA) is selected. The operation of the button is inhibited when the channel is "live".

Equalisation Controls (S2-CSGE only)

The HF and LF controls are used to adjust the equalisation of the signal. The HF control boosts and cuts the signal by ±7dB at 6.5kHz. The LF control boosts and cuts the signal by ±7dB at 100Hz. The EQ button places the equalisation in and out of the signal path. The button is illuminated in yellow when the EQ is active.

TRIM Control

The TRIM pot provides an additional ±1.2dB of gain to fine tune the input level.

BAL/PAN Control

The BAL/PAN control can be set to function as either a Balance or Pan control, depending on the setting of J12 & J13. As a balance control, full anti-clockwise shifts the signal to the left and increases the signal by 6dB (right channel reduces by 6dB); full clockwise shifts the signal to the right and increases the signal by 6dB (left channel reduces by 6dB). As a pan control, full anti-clockwise pans the signal to the left and increases the signal by 6dB (right channel reduces by 70dB); full clockwise pans the signal to the right and increases the signal by 6dB (left channel

be checked on meters and adjusted via the Trim control and balanced via the Bal control. The button is illuminated in green when CUE/PFL is active. There is a jumper option to cancel the CUE/PFL selection when the fader is raised. This button works with both a momentary and latched operation. If held down, the selection is cancelled when released, otherwise the button is alternate action.

Fader

The 100mm VCA fader provides unity gain when fully open. The channel input signal is routed to the outputs whenever the fader is open, the ON button is selected and either or both of the routing buttons are selected.

ON Selection

The ON button works in conjunction with the fader and is used to control channel remotes, routing, timers, etc. The button shows various states. When unlit the channel is off. Flashing red indicates that the channel has been selected to ON but remains unrouted i.e. neither PGM or AUD is selected. Steady red indicates that the channel is ON and "armed", ready for the fader to be raised. Raising the fader changes the illumination to green indicating that the channel is live. Alternatively, with the button unit the fader may be raised and the channel can be operated simply by selecting ON. The illumination in this case toggles between unit, channel OFF and green, channel ON. Remotes, etc., are triggered when the fader is up and the channel ON button shows green.

Channel Options, Jumper Settings and Presets

The Stereo Line and Gram channel with and without EQ can be configured in a number of different ways depending on the jumper options set on the board. The on-board processor's software is configured by jumpers J1 to JS and channel identifying links. The Stereo Line and Gram channel without EQ is identified by having links LK6 and LK11 fitted. The Stereo Line and Gram channel with EQ is identified by having links LK7 and LK11 fitted. Other, customer specific, options can be programmed into the software by special order. Special logic options will be identified by having links LK9 and LK10 fitted.

The standard options available are:

  • Select momentary or latched start for Input 1.
  • Select momentary or latched start for Input 2.
  • Enable continuous momentary start from ON button.

Remote for Line 1 Input

The remote output for the Line 1 input can be used for a start and stop function wired to other studio equipment such as CD or MD players. The default setting for J1 is none (not fitted), which produces a momentary remote contact. If your equipment requires a latching contact for remote start then a jumper should be placed over pins 1 & 2 of J1. The remote stop for Input 1 is always momentary.

Remote for Gram Input

The remote output for the Gram input can be used for a start and stop function for turntables. The default setting for J2 is none (not fitted), which produces a momentary remote contact. If your equipment requires a latching contact for remote start then a jumper should be placed over pins 1 & 2 of J2. The remote stop for the Gram input is always momentary.

Continuous Momentary Start

The continuous momentary start function can be used for equipment that only ever requires a remote start but not a stop. Placing a jumper over J3 pins 1 & 2 enables the function. When enabled the operation of the ON button is changed to a continuous start button. With the fader down, the button shows red. With the fader up, the button shows green and each press of the ON button will trigger a momentary start from the remote contacts. The default setting for J3 is none (not fitted). It is not possible to configure a latching remote start output when the continuous momentary start option has been selected.

CUE/PFL Cancel

The CUE/PFL function is normally an alternate action. Press the button to select and press again to be select. However it may be desirable to have the fader up signal cancel a CUE/PFL selection. Placing a jumper over J4 pins 1 & 2 will enable a previously selected CUE/PFL function to be cancelled when the fader is up and the channel is ON. The default setting is none (not fitted).

Jumper JS is not fitted to this channel.

Timer Auto Start

The dual timer in the meterbridge can be set to start automatically from a fader open/channel On signal. Jumper J6 determines which timer is set to auto-start. A jumper over pins 1 & 2 will start Timer 1, shifting the jumper to pins 2 & 3 will start Timer 2. The default setting of J6 is none (not fitted).

Jumpers J7 to J10 are not fitted to this channel.

Presets

text_image S2-CSGE/S2-CSG STEREO LINE AND GRAM CHANNEL WITH & WITHOUT EQ 8

The RIAA Gram input level (Input 2) is fixed.

Presets P15 & P16 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion). They are factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

A fifth preset, P17, sets the VCA fader gain to GdB when the fader is fully open. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment, unless it has been found necessary to replace the fader or other VCA components.

General Purpose I/O

Two I/O pins are available on the remotes connector that can be configured for general purpose use. They are completely configurable and can be set as inputs or outputs, latching or momentary and active high or active low.

The setup procedure for configuring the pins is described in the following steps. Since the settings are stored in non-volatile RAM, this only needs to be done once.

  • To initiate setup, press and hold down the PGM button while pressing the AUD button five times. Once completed, all the buttons will turn off and after a short while will display the current setting for GPIO 1's function (pin 8 on the remote connector).
  • Using the PGM button, cycle through the following options (shown in the table below) until the desired setting is selected. For example to set GPIO 1 to a latching, active high input, press the PGM button until only the CUE/PFL button is illuminated ON. This setting is then applied by pressing the ON button. The PGM button will flash quickly for about a second to indicate that the setting is stored.

The 100mm VCA fader provides unity gain when fully open. The channel input signal is routed to the outputs whenever the fader is open, the ON button is selected and either or both of the routing buttons are selected.

ON Selection

The ON button works in conjunction with the fader and is used to control channel remotes, routing, timers, etc. The button shows various states. When until the channel is off. Flashing green indicates that there is no valid digital input. Flashing red indicates that the channel has been selected to ON but remains unrouted i.e. neither PGM or AUD is selected. Flashing red and green indicates that both of the above states are valid. Steady red indicates that the channel is ON and "armed", ready for the fader to be raised. Raising the fader changes the illumination to green indicating that the channel is live. Alternatively, with the button until the fader may be raised and the channel can be operated simply by selecting ON.

The illumination in this case toggles between unit, channel OFF and green, channel ON. Remotes, etc, are triggered when the fader is up and the channel ON button shows green.

Remote for Digital Input 1

The remote output for Input 1 can be used for a start and stop function wired to other studio equipment such as CD or MD players. The default setting for J1 is none (not fitted), which produces a momentary remote contact. If your equipment requires a latching contact for remote start then a jumper should be placed over pins 1 & 2 of J1. The remote stop for Input 1 is always momentary.

Remote for Digital Input 2

The remote output for Input 2 can be used for a start and stop function wired to other studio equipment such as CD or MD players. The default setting for J2 is none (not fitted), which produces a momentary remote contact. If your equipment requires a latching contact for remote start then a jumper should be placed over pins 1 & 2 of J2. The remote stop for Input 2 is always momentary.

Continuous Momentary Start

The continuous momentary start function can be used for equipment that only ever requires a remote start but not a stop. Placing a jumper over J3 pins 1 & 2 enables the function. When enabled the operation of the ON button is changed to a continuous start button. With the fader down, the button shows red. With the fader up, the button shows green and each press of the ON button will trigger a momentary start from the remote contacts. The default setting for J3 is none (not fitted). It is not possible to configure a latching remote start output when the continuous momentary start option has been selected.

CUE/PFL Cancel

The CUE/PFL function is normally an alternate action. Press the button to select and press again to be select. However it may be desirable to have the fader up signal cancel a CUE/PFL selection. Placing a jumper over J4 pins 1 & 2 will enable a previously selected CUE/PFL function to be cancelled when the fader is up and the channel is ON. The default setting is none (not fitted).

De-emphasis

Placing a jumper over pins 1 & 2 of J3 will decode 50/15 s emphasis when indicated by certain channel status bits in the incoming digital audio data.

Disabling PFL When no Input is Detected

When J11 is fitted, if a digital input is not detected on the selected input, then PFL is disabled/muted.

Timer Auto Start

The dual timer in the meterbridge can be set to start automatically from a fader open/channel On signal. Jumper J6 determines which timer is set to auto-start. A jumper over pins

AES/EBU, S/PDIF Select for Input 1

Input 1 can be either balanced AES/EBU or unbalanced S/PDIF. The default setting for J7, pins 1 & 2, is AES/EBU input via XLRs. Shifting the jumper to pins 2 & 3 enables the S/PDIF input on phonos.

AES/EBU, S/PDIF Select for Input 2

Input 2 can be either balanced AES/EBU or unbalanced S/PDIF. The default setting for J8, pins 1 & 2, is AES/EBU input via XLRs. Shifting the jumper to pins 2 & 3 enables the S/PDIF input on phonos.

Presets

Two presets are available for adjustment of the input level trim, left and right, for the digital inputs. Presets, P1 (left), P2 (right) provide 15dB of gain adjustment, to compensate for level differences in the digital input circuitry. These are preset on final test and should not require further adjustment.

Presets P15 & P16 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion). They are factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

A fifth preset, P17, sets the VCA fader gain to CdB when the fader is fully open. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment, unless it has been found necessary to replace the fader or other VCA components.

General Purpose I/O

Two I/O pins are available on the remotes connector that can be configured for general purpose use. They are completely configurable and can be set as inputs or outputs, latching or momentary and active high or active low.

The setup procedure for configuring the pins is described in the following steps. Since the settings are stored in non-volatile RAM, this only needs to be done once.

- To initiate setup, press and hold down the PGM button while pressing the AUD button five times. Once completed, all the buttons will turn off and after a short while will display the current setting for GPIO 1's function (pin 8 on the remote connector).

- Using the PGM button, cycle through the following options (shown in the table below) until the desired setting is selected. For example to set GPIO 1 to a latching, active high input, press the PGM button until only the CUE/PFL button is illuminated ON. This setting is then applied by pressing the ON button. The PGM button will flash quickly for about a second to indicate that the setting is stored.

  • As before, press the ON button to apply the setting, noticing that the PGM button flashes.
  • The module will now display the current setting of GPIO 2's function. This is changed in exactly the same way as GPIO 1, selecting from the options in the above table.
  • Once the ON button is pressed, this setting is stored and the action can be selected.
  • After the next ON button press, the module will exit the setup procedure and the module can now be used as normal.

Button Mode Settings

To make the S2 modules as flexible as possible, every button on each channel can be set to a number of different modes. These will aid in the use of the mixer and allow for extra functionality. To make use of these modes, you must enter a setup mode which is exactly the same for every module. It is only necessary to perform this procedure once.

To enter the setup mode, hold down the PGM and AUD buttons together for 5 seconds. After which all the buttons will start a recurring flashing sequence, at this point it is ok to release the PGM and AUD buttons. This sequence indicates the mode which each button is currently set to. One flash equals mode one, two flashes equals mode two etc. To change the mode for a particular button simply press it once and watch the number of flashes increase. Once the maximum mode number has been reached it will simply wrap around to mode one and continue as before. To exit this setup procedure press and hold both the PGM and AUD buttons as before for 2 seconds and the module will start operating as normal.

Each button and their corresponding modes are listed below.

PGM

Mode 1: Normal. The program bus can be selected as normal.

Mode 2: Always on. The program bus is permanently selected.

Mode 3: Always off. The program bus is permanently deselected.

AUD

Mode 1: Normal. The audition bus can be selected as normal.

Mode 2: Always on. The audition bus is permanently selected.

Mode 3: Always off. The audition bus is permanently deselected.

Mode 2: Latched. Cue/PFL is selected as normal, but will only work with a latched operation.

Mode 3: Momentary. Cue/PFL is selected as normal, but will only work with a momentary operation.

Mode 4: Normal with remotes. Cue/PFL is selected as normal, with both a momentary or latched operation and will also activate the remotes if the channel is not live.

Mode 5: Latched with remotes. Cue/PFL is selected as normal, but with only a latched operation and will also activate the remotes if the channel is not live.

Mode 6: Momentary with remotes. Cue/PFL is selected as normal, but with only a momentary operation and will also activate the remotes if the channel is not live.

ON

Mode 1: Normal.

Mode 2: Operates as normal, but the remote start function is only activated by the ON button, and generates a START whenever the button is pressed while the fader is up.

Mode 3: Always on and no LED indication. The channel cannot be turned off and the On button LEDs are never active.

Mode 4: Always on. The channel cannot be turned off.

Mode 5: Always on. The LEDs in the ON button are controlled via GPIO.

Mode 6: Always on. The LEDs in the ON button are controlled via GPIO and the remote START/STOP functions are generated by the ON button only, but are dependent on the GPIO state. This mode allows the module to interact with the VCS playout system.

Panel Controls

PGM and AUD Selection

Selecting the PGM, AUD buttons routes the channel audio output to the PGM and/or AUD mix buses. The buttons are illuminated in green to indicate the routing status. Changing the status of the PGM button is inhibited when the channel is "live".

Input Selection

The interlocking switch bank selects one of six stereo inputs. The LED in the buttons indicates the currently selected input. The switches select the individual balanced stereo inputs as well as the remote outputs.

Equalisation Controls

The HF and LF controls are used to adjust the equalisation of the signal. The HF control boosts and cuts the signal by ±7dB at 6.5kHz. The LF control boosts and cuts the signal by ±7dB at 100Hz. The EQ button places the equalisation in and out of the signal path. The button is illuminated in yellow when the EQ is active.

TRIM Control

The Trim control provides an additional ± 12dB of gain to fine tune the input signal level.

BAL/PAN Control

The BAL/PAN control is used to balance the stereo image. Full anti-clockwise shifts the signal to the left and increases the signal by 6dB (right channel reduces by 6dB); full clockwise shifts the signal to the right and increases the signal by 6dB (left channel reduces by 6dB).

CUE/PFL Selection

Selecting the CUE/PFL button routes the pre-fader input signal to the monitoring system where the signal can be heard via headphones and/or loudspeakers. The level may be checked on meters and adjusted via the Trim control and balanced via the Bal control. The button is illuminated in green when CUE/PFL is active. There is a jumper option to cancel the CUE/PFL selection when the fader is raised. This button works with both a momentary and latched operation. If he held down, the selection is cancelled when released, otherwise the button is alternate action.

ON Selection

The ON button works in conjunction with the fader and is used to control channel remotes, routing, timers, etc. The button shows various states. When unlit the channel is off. Flashing red indicates that the channel has been selected to ON but remains unropped i.e. neither PGM or AUD is selected. Steady red indicates that the channel is ON and "armed", ready for the fader to be raised. Raising the fader changes the illumination to green indicating that the channel is live. Alternatively, with the button until the fader may be raised and the channel can be operated simply by selecting ON. The illumination in this case toggles between unit, channel OFF and green, channel ON. Remotes, etc, are triggered when the fader is up and the channel ON button shows green.

Cue/PFL Cancel

The Cue/PFL function is normally an alternate action. Press the button to select and press again to de-select. However it may be desirable to have the fader up signal cancel a Cue/PFL selection. Placing a jumper over J1 pins 1 & 2 will enable a previously selected Cue/PFL function to be cancelled when the fader is up and the channel is ON. The default setting for J1 is none (not fitted).

Continuous Momentary Start

Source Remotes

The remote outputs for the six sources can be used for a start and stop function wired to other studio equipment such as CDs or MDs. The default setting for J3 is none (not fitted), which produces a momentary remote contact. If your equipment requires a latching contact for remote start then a jumper should be placed over pins 1 & 2 of J3. The remote stops are always momentary. It is not possible to configure a latching remote start output when the continuous momentary start option has been selected.

Timer Auto Start

The dual timer in the meterbridge can be set to start automatically from a fader open/ channel On signal. Jumper J4 determines which timer is set to auto-start. A jumper over pins 1 & 2 will start Timer 1, shifting the jumper to pins 2 & 3 will start Timer 2. The default setting of J4 is none (not fitted).

Presets

Two presets are available for adjustment of the input gain, left and right, for all six line inputs. Presets, P1 (left), P2 (right) provide 16dB of gain adjustment, allowing an input range of 14dB to -10dB referenced to 0dB output. The presets should be adjusted to give 0dB output for the chosen source, and will cater for professional equipment with nominal output levels up to 14dB and non-professional equipment with nominal output levels down to -10dBY. The levels are preset for 0dB input when shipped.

A third preset, PS, sets the VCA fader gain to 0dB when the fader is fully open. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment, unless it has been found necessary to replace the fader or other VCA components.

Presets P3 & P4 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion). They are factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

Panel Controls

PGM and AUD Selection

Selecting the PGM, AUD buttons routes the channel audio output to the PGM and/or AUD mix buses. The buttons are illuminated in green to indicate the routing status. Changing the status of the PGM button is inhibited when the channel is "live". Selecting the PGM button also routes the channel to one of the two true cleanfeed buses. When selecting the AUD button only, a cleanfeed is generated via the channel mix-minus system. When both PGM and AUD are selected the channel operates in the true cleanfeed mode, sending the PGM signal to the cleanfeed bus.

Equalisation Controls

The HF and LF controls are used to adjust the equalisation of the signal. The HF control boosts and cuts the signal by ±7dB at 6.5kHz. The LF control boosts and cuts the signal by ±7dB at 100Hz. The EQ button places the equalisation in and out of the signal path. The button is illuminated in yellow when the EQ is active.

TRIM control

The TRIM control provides an additional ± 12dB of gain to fine tune the input signal level.

BAL/PAN Control

The BAL/PAN control is used to pan the mono input signal in the stereo image. Full anti-clockwise pans the signal to the left and increases the signal by 3dB (right channel reduces by 70dB); full clockwise pans the signal to the right and increases the signal by 3dB (left channel reduces by 70dB).

CUE/PFL & T/B Selection

Selecting the CUE/PFL & T/B button routes the pre-fader input signal to the monitoring system where the signal can be heard via headphones and/or loudspeakers. The level may be checked on meters and adjusted via the TRIM control and panned via the BAL/PAN control. In addition, talkback is routed back to the caller via the cleanfeed system. This enables the presenter/technical operator to communicate with the caller prior to putting the caller live to air. The button is illuminated in green when CUE/PFL is active. There is a jumper option to cancel the CUE/PFL selection when the fader is raised. This button works with both a momentary and latched operation. If held down, the selection is cancelled when released, otherwise the button is

button is selected and either or both of the routing buttons are selected.

LINE HOLD Selection

The LINE HOLD button works in conjunction with the fader and is used to control channel remotes and routing. The button shows various states. When unlit the channel is off. Flashing red indicates that the channel has been selected to LINE HOLD but remains unroouted i.e. neither PGM or AUD is selected. Steady red indicates that the channel is holding the telephone line and "armed", ready for the fader to be raised. Raising the fader changes the illumination to green indicating that the channel is live. Alternatively, with the button until the fader may be raised and the channel can be operated simply by selecting LINE HOLD button (Note though that this will cause dial tone and the dialling of the call to be heard on-air). The illumination in this case toggles between unit (channel off) and green (channel on). Remotes are triggered when the LINE HOLD button is on.

Channel Options, Jumper Settings and Presets

The telco channel with EQ can be configured in a number of different ways depending on the jumper options set on the board. The on-board processor's software is configured by jumpers J1, J4 and channel identifying links. The telco channel is identified by having links LK21 and LK22 fitted. Other, customer specific, options can be programmed into the software by special order. Special logic options will be identified by having links LK23 and LK24 fitted.

The standard options available are;

  • Select momentary or latched Hybrid hold.
  • Enable or disable Cue/PFL cancel from fader.
  • Cleanfeed selection - jumpers J11 & J12 must be set the same for a telco module
  • Select timer option.
  • Mute Cleanfeed on Talkback enable.

Remote for Hybrid Hold

The remote output of the Telco channel can be used to hold the line on a telephone hybrid when the channel is ON and the fader is up. The hybrid is also put on hold when the Cue/PFL & T/B button is selected. Jumper J1 is placed over pins 1 & 2. This is the default setting and produces a latched remote output. If your hybrid requires a momentary contact then remove J1.

CUE/PFL & T/B Cancel

The CUE/PFL & T/B function is normally an alternate action. Press the button to select and press again to de-select. However it may be desirable to have the fader up signal cancel a CUE/PFL & T/B selection. Placing a jumper over J4 pins 1 & 2 will enable a previously selected CUE/PFL & T/B function to be cancelled when the fader is up and the channel is ON. The default setting is none (not fitted).

Jumpers J5 to J10 inclusive are not fitted to the Telco channel.

Cleanfeed Bus Output Select

The jumpers J11 and J12 determine which of the two true cleanfeed buses the channel uses. There can only be a maximum of two telco channels in each mixer and they must not share a cleanfeed bus.

If you have only one telco channel, the jumpers are fitted over pins 1 & 2 of J11 and J12, using cleanfeed 1. J2 on the S2-ODP should also be fitted to terminate cleanfeed 2.

If a second telco channel is present in the mixer, then this second channel should have the jumpers fitted over pins 2 & 3 of J11 and J12, using cleanfeed 2 only. In this case J2 on the

Jumper J2 is not set on the telco channel, so that the talkback is mixed to the cleanfeed output. Then to operate, press the PFL button on the telco module so that the mic input, which is connected to the talkback bus, is routed to the cleanfeed bus sent to the caller.

Presets

The line input preset, P3, provides 16dB of gain adjustment, allowing an input range of +6dB to -10dB referenced to 0dB output. The preset should be adjusted to give 0dB output for the chosen telephone hybrid, and will cater for professional equipment with nominal output levels up to +4dB and non-professional equipment with nominal output levels down to -10dBV. The level is preset for 0dB input when shipped.

The cleanfeed output level preset, P4, provides 10dB of gain adjustment, allowing an output level from -6dB to +4dB and should be adjusted to suit the level expected by the hybrid in use. The level is preset for 0dB output when shipped.

Presets P5 & P6 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion). They are factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

Two presets are used to set up the cleanfeed mix-minus null when the channel is routed to AUD only. With the channel routed to AUD only and a signal of 1 kHz applied to the input and adjusted to register OdB on the console output, P7 (left) and P8 (right) are adjusted for minimum signal at the cleanfeed output connector.

A further preset, P9, sets the VCA fader gain to 0dB when the fader is fully open. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment, unless it has been found necessary to replace the fader or other VCA components.

Terminating The Cleanfeed Buses

Depending on whether you have 1, 2 or no telco channels fitted, you may have to alter the cleanfeed bus termination on the digital PGM and AUD Output channels. Please refer to that section of the handbook for further info.

General Purpose Inputs

One input pin is available on the remotes connector that can be configured for general purpose use. It is completely configurable and can be set as latching or momentary and active high or active low.

The setup procedure for configuring the pin is described in the following steps. Since the settings are stored in non-volatile RAM, this only needs to be done once.

- To initiate setup, press and hold down the PGM button while pressing the AUD button five times. Once completed, all the buttons will turn off and after a short while will display the current setting for the inputs function (pin 8 on the remote connector).

• Press the ON button to apply the setting.
• The module will exit the setup procedure and the module can now be used as normal.

Button Mode Settings

To make the 52 modules as flexible as possible, every button on each channel can be set to a number of different modes. These will aid in the use of the mixer and allow for extra functionality. To make use of these modes, you must enter a setup mode which is exactly the same for every module. It is only necessary to perform this procedure once.

To enter the setup mode, hold down the PGM and AUD buttons together for 5 seconds.

After which all the buttons will start a recurring flashing sequence, at this point it is ok to

Panel Controls

PGM and AUD Selection

Selecting the PGM, AUD buttons routes the channel audio output to the PGM and/or AUD mix buses. The buttons are illuminated in green to indicate the routing status. Changing the status of the PGM button is inhibited when the channel is "live". Selecting the PGM button also routes the PGM main output via the mix minus system to the cleanfeed output. Similarly, selecting the AUD button routes the AUD main output to the mix minus system. When both PGM and AUD are selected the mix minus is derived from the PGM output.

Equalisation Controls

The HF and LF controls are used to adjust the equalisation of the signal. The HF control boosts and cuts the signal by ±7dB at 6.5kHz. The LF control boosts and cuts the signal by ±7dB at 100Hz. The EQ button places the equalisation in and out of the signal path. The button is illuminated in yellow when the EQ is active.

TRIM Control

The TRIM control provides an additional ± 12dB of gain to fine tune the input signal level.

BAL/PAN Control

The BAL/PAN control can be set to function as either a Balance or Pan control, depending on the setting of J12 & J13. As a balance control, full anti-clockwise shifts the signal to the left and increases the signal by 6dB (right channel reduces by 6dB); full clockwise shifts the signal to the right and increases the signal by 6dB (left channel reduces by 6dB). As a pan control, full anti-clockwise pans the signal to the left and increases the signal by 6dB (right channel reduces by 70dB); full clockwise pans the signal to the right and increases the signal by 6dB (left channel reduces by 70dB).

CUE/PFL & T/B Selection

Selecting the CUE/PFL & T/B button routes the pre-fader input signal to the monitoring system where the signal can be heard via headphones and/or loudspeakers. The level may be checked on meters and adjusted via the TRIM control and balanced via the BAL/PAN control. In addition, talkback is routed to the cleanfeed output. This enables the presenter/technical operator to communicate with the remote source prior to going live to air. The button

Remote for Line Input

The remote output for the Line input can be used for a start and stop function wired to other studio equipment such as CD or MD players. The default setting for J1 is none (not fitted), which produces a momentary remote contact. If your equipment requires a latching contact for remote start then a jumper should be placed over pins 1 & 2 of J1. The remote stop is always momentary.

Continuous Momentary Start

The continuous momentary start function can be used for equipment that only ever requires a remote start but not a stop. Placing a jumper over J3 pins 1 & 2 enables the function. When enabled the operation of the ON button is changed to a continuous start button. With the fader down, the button shows red. With the fader up, the button shows green and each press of the ON button will trigger a momentary start from the remote contacts. The default setting for J3 is none (not fitted). It is not possible to configure a latching remote start output when the continuous momentary start option has been selected.

CUE/PFL Cancel

The CUE/PFL function is normally an alternate action. Press the button to select and press again to de-select. However it may be desirable to have the fader up signal cancel a CUE/PFL selection. Placing a jumper over J4 pins 1 & 2 will enable a previously selected CUE/PFL function to be cancelled when the fader is up and the channel is ON. The default setting is none (not fitted).

Jumper J5 is not fitted to this channel.

Timer Auto Start

The dual timer in the meterbridge can be set to start automatically from a fader open/channel On signal. Jumper J6 determines which timer is set to auto-start. A jumper over pins 1 & 2 will start Timer 1, shifting the jumper to pins 2 & 3 will start Timer 2. The default setting of J6 is none (not fitted).

Jumpers J7 and J8 are not fitted to this channel.

Cleanfeed Output Selection

The default setting for jumpers J9 and J10 is over pins 1 & 2 which gives stereo cleanfeed outputs. There may be a situation where only mono cleanfeed is required with a continuous feed of talkback from the studio. Placing jumper J9 over pins 2 & 3 places mono cleanfeed on the left cleanfeed output and placing jumper J10 over pins 2 & 3 places the continuous talkback feed on the right cleanfeed output.

Presets

Two separate sets suitable for adjustment of the line between axis left and right. Separate 11

Sonifex S2-CDASE - S2-CSMM STEREO MIX MINUS CHANNEL WITH EQ - 1

Sonifex S2-CDASE - S2-CSMM STEREO MIX MINUS CHANNEL WITH EQ - 2

Eight presets are used to adjust the cleanfeed null for the left and right channels. Cleanfeed is derived from the PGM or AUD output buses and are set up as follows. With the channel routed to PGM only and a signal of 1kHz applied to the input and adjusted to register 0dB on the console output, P5 (left) and P6 (right) are adjusted for minimum signal at the cleanfeed output connectors. The input signal frequency is then changed to 100Hz and P7 (left) and P8 (right) are adjusted for a level of -45dB at the cleanfeed output connectors. Change the routing to AUD only and repeat the set up using presets P9, P10 at 1kHz and P11, P12 at 100Hz. This will be set up during final test and should not require further adjustment, unless the channel position changes within the frame when minor adjustment may be required to maintain best performance.

Two presets are available for adjustment of the Cleanfeed gain, left and right. The presets P13 (left), P14 (right) should be adjusted to give 0dB output for the chosen source.

Presets P15 & P16 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion). They are factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

A further preset, P17, sets the VCA fader gain to 0dB when the fader is fully open. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment, unless it has been found necessary to replace the fader or other VCA components.

General Purpose I/O

Two I/O pins are available on the remotes connector that can be configured for general purpose use. They are completely configurable and can be set as inputs or outputs, latching or momentary and active high or active low,

The setup procedure for configuring the pins is described in the following steps. Since the settings are stored in non-volatile RAM, this only needs to be done once.

- To initiate setup, press and hold down the PGM button while pressing the AUD button five times. Once completed, all the buttons will turn off and after a short while will display the current setting for GPIO 1's function (pin 8 on the remote connector).

- Using the PGM button, cycle through the following options (shown in the table below) until the desired setting is selected. For example to set GPIO 1 to a latching, active high input, press the PGM button until only the CUE/PFL button is illuminated ON. This setting is then applied by pressing the ON button. The PGM button will flash quickly for about a second to indicate that the setting is stored.

  • As before, press the ON button to apply the setting, noticing that the PGM button flashes.
  • The module will now display the current setting of GPIO 2's function. This is changed in exactly the same way as GPIO 1, selecting from the options in the above table.
  • Once the ON button is pressed, this setting is stored and the action can be selected.
    • After the next ON button press, the module will exit the setup procedure and the module can now be used as normal.

Button Mode Settings

To make the S2 modules as flexible as possible, every button on each channel can be set to a number of different modes. These will aid in the use of the mixer and allow for extra functionality. To make use of these modes, you must enter a setup mode which is exactly the same for every module. It is only necessary to perform this procedure once.

To enter the setup mode, hold down the PGM and AUD buttons together for 5 seconds. After which all the buttons will start a recurring flashing sequence, at this point it is ok to release the PGM and AUD buttons. This sequence indicates the mode which each button is currently set to. One flash equals mode one, two flashes equals mode two etc. To change the mode for a particular button simply press it once and watch the number of flashes increase. Once the maximum mode number has been reached it will simply wrap around to mode one and continue as before. To exit this setup procedure press and hold both the PGM and AUD buttons as before for 2 seconds and the module will start operating as normal.

Each button and their corresponding modes are listed below.

PGM

Mode 1: Normal. The program bus can be selected as normal.
Mode 2: Always on. The program bus is permanently selected.
Mode 3: Always off. The program bus is permanently deselected.

AUD

Mode 1: Normal. The audition bus can be selected as normal.
Mode 2: Always on. The audition bus is permanently selected.

A change was made to the hardware and firmware of the S2-ODPF/S2-ODP modules around January 2008. Modules prior to this date are likely to be Version 1, modules after this date are likely to be Version 2. Externally, the only way to check the Version number of this module which has been fitted into your S2, is to look at the layout of the connectors on the rear panel. If the POWER and OUTPUTS AND REMOTES connector is at the bottom of the panel (see page 99), then you have a Version 2 module. If these connectors are nearer the middle of the panel (see page 92), then it is Version 1.

Panel Controls

Mono Output Selection

The Mono compatible output can be used to feed a mono transmitter or any station output monitoring system that requires a mono signal such as a background music system. The Mono output can be derived from either the PGM or AUD outputs by selecting the appropriate button.

Lock Indicator

The illuminated lock indicator shows that the digital output is locked to the onboard master clock, incoming Word clock or AES/EBU, S/PDIF compatible sync signal. If sync is lost then the indicator will flash. The channel automatically searches for a sync signal on the Word Clock, or the selected digital input, and automatically locks to a valid sync clock. To disable locking to the AES/EBU or S/PDIF Input, simply remove jumpers J10 and J11.

Fader (S2-ODPF only)

The 100mm VCA fader provides unity gain when fully open.

Cleanfeed Terminations

If the console is supplied without Telco channels then J1 and J2 will be fitted to terminate the cleanfeed mix buses. With one Telco channel only J2 is fitted and with two Telco channels no jumpers are fitted. There is no default setting.

Synchronisation Mode and Sample Rate

The following jumpers, J3 to J9, are used for setting the Sync Mode and Sample Rate of the digital output.

In Master mode, the digital output sample rate is simply set by, and locked to, the internal on-board clock generator. No sync signal is used or required.

In Auto mode the sample rate follows the sync input. When the sync signal is not present the sample rate will be set by, and locked to, the internal on-board clock generator at a frequency determined by the jumpers.

In Auto Lock mode, the sample rate follows the sync input. If the sync signal is removed then the sample rate will be set by, and locked to, the internal on-board clock generator at the closest frequency available to the previous sync input. When there has been no sync input detected the output will lock to the on-board clock generator at 32kHz.

In Slave mode, the sample rate follows the sync input. When the sync signal is not present the digital output is muted.

Sync Select

The pair of jumpers, J10 and J11, select the sync source between AES, pins 1 & 2, and S/PDIF, pins 2 & 3. The default is AES/EBU. Both jumpers need to be altered for this to work correctly.

Digital Output Mode

Jumper J12 selects the digital output mode between AES/EBU, pins 1 & 2, and S/PDIF, pins 2 & 3. The default is AES/EBU.

Presets

Presets P1 & P2 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion) through the VCA stage. They are factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

Preset P3 sets the VCA fader gain to 0dB when the fader is fully open. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment, unless it has been found necessary to

Preset P8 sets the gain through the limiter that feeds the analogue to digital converters. Preset P9 sets the threshold. Presets P6 & P7 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion) through the limiting stage. They are all factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

ADC Calibration

For optimum performance, the module should be calibrated when it has been powered up for approximately 10-15 minutes. The circuitry and chipsets contained in the module will warm up during this time and the performance will deteriorate unless calibrated (the noise floor and dynamic range will be 1-2dB down on their best). The calibration cycle calibrates the gain and the zero reference of the A/D converter.

To calibrate, hold down the PGM button and press the AUD button 5 times. The lock LED on the front panel will flash quickly for 2 – 3 seconds and will return to it's previous state. The calibration procedure is now complete.

Button Mode Settings

To make the 52 modules as flexible as possible, every button on each channel can be set to a number of different modes. These will aid in the use of the mixer and allow for extra functionality. To make use of these modes, you must enter a setup mode which is exactly the same for every module. It is only necessary to perform this procedure once.

To enter the setup mode, hold down the PGM and AUD buttons together for 5 seconds. After which all the buttons will start a recurring flashing sequence, at this point it is ok to release the PGM and AUD buttons. This sequence indicates the mode which each button is currently set to. One flash equals mode one, two flashes equals mode two etc. To change the mode for a particular button simply press it once and watch the number of flashes increase. Once the maximum mode number has been reached it will simply wrap around to mode one and continue as before. To exit this setup procedure press and hold both the PGM and AUD buttons as before for 2 seconds and the module will start operating as normal.

Each button and their corresponding modes are listed below.

PGM

Mode 1: Normal. The PGM bus can be selected as the mono output source as normal.

Mode 2: Always on. The program bus is permanently selected as the mono output source.

Mode 3: Always off. The program bus can never be selected as the mono output source.

Cleanfeed Terminations

If the console is supplied without Telco channels then J1 and J2 will be fitted to terminate the cleanfeed mix buses. With one Telco channel only J2 is fitted and with two Telco channels no jumpers are fitted. There is no default setting.

Synchronisation Mode and Sample Rate

The following jumpers, J3 to J6 and J9 on V2, are used for setting the Sync Mode and Sample Rate of the digital output.

In Master mode, the digital output sample rate is simply set by, and locked to, the internal onboard clock generator. No sync signal is used or required.

In Auto Lock mode, the sample rate follows the sync input. If the sync signal is removed then the sample rate will be set by, and locked to, the internal on-board clock generator at the closest frequency available to the previous sync input. When there has been no sync input detected the output will lock to the on-board clock generator at 32kHz.

In Slave mode, the sample rate follows the sync input. When the sync signal is not present the digital output is muted.

Sync Select

The pair of jumpers, J10 and J11, select the sync source between AES, pins 1 & 2, and S/PDIF, pins 2 & 3. The default is AES/EBU. Both jumpers need to be altered for this to work correctly.

Digital Output Mode

Jumper J12 selects the digital output mode between AES/EBU, pins 1 & 2, and S/PDIF, pins 2 & 3. The default is AES/EBU.

Presets

Presets P1 & P2 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion) through the

S2-ODPF/S2-ODP DIGITAL OUTPUT PGM CHANNEL WITH & WITHOUT MASTER FADER (VERSION 2) 15

Presets, P5 (left) and P4 (right), set the peak digits through the conditioning circuits to the analogue to digital converter. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment.

Preset P8 sets the gain through the limiter that feeds the analogue to digital converters. Preset P9 sets the threshold. Presets P6 & P7 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion) through the limiting stage. They are all factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

Button Mode Settings

To make the S2 modules as flexible as possible, every button on each channel can be set to a number of different modes. These will aid in the use of the mixer and allow for extra functionality. To make use of these modes, you must enter a setup mode which is exactly the same for every module. It is only necessary to perform this procedure once.

To enter the setup mode, hold down the PGM and AUD buttons together for 5 seconds. After which all the buttons will start a recurring flashing sequence, at this point it is ok to release the PGM and AUD buttons. This sequence indicates the mode which each button is currently set to. One flash equals mode one, two flashes equals mode two etc. To change the mode for a particular button simply press it once and watch the number of flashes increase. Once the maximum mode number has been reached it will simply wrap around to mode one and continue as before. To exit this setup procedure press and hold both the PGM and AUD buttons as before for 2 seconds and the module will start operating as normal.

Each button and their corresponding modes are listed below.

PGM

Mode 1: Normal. The PGM bus can be selected as the mono output source as normal.

Mode 2: Always on. The program bus is permanently selected as the mono output source.

Mode 3: Always off. The program bus can never be selected as the mono output source.

AUD

Mode 1: Normal. The AUD bus can be selected as the mono output source as normal.

Mode 2: Always on. The audition bus is permanently selected as the mono output source.

Mode 3: Always off. The audition bus can never be selected as the mono output source.

Note: If both buttons are set to mode 2 (Always on) then the mono output will be a mix of both PGM and AUD buses.

A change was made to the hardware and firmware of the S2-ODAF/S2-ODA modules around January 2008. Modules prior to this date are likely to be Version 1, modules after this date are likely to be Version 2. Externally, the only way to check the Version number of this module which has been fitted into your S2, is to look at the layout of the connectors on the rear panel. If the OUTPUTS AND REMOTES connector is at the bottom of the panel (see page 113), then you have a Version 2 module. If these connectors are nearer the middle of the panel (see page 106), then it is Version 1.

Panel Controls

Meter Display Selection

When the meters in the meterbridge are plugged up to the "Monitor Meter" position they will display the selected signal from the electronically interlocking PGM, AUD, or CR MON buttons. The CR MON signal source is the presenter's headphone on the control room monitor channel, pre talkback and level control. This signal could be PGM, AUD, EXT 1, EXT 2, or PFL, as selected by the presenter.

Lock Indicator

The illuminated lock indicator shows that the digital output is locked to the onboard master clock, incoming Word clock or AES/EBU, S/PDIF compatible sync signal. If sync is lost then the indicator will flash. The channel automatically searches for a sync signal on the Word Clock, or the selected digital input, and automatically locks to a valid sync clock. To disable locking to the AES/EBU or S/PDIF input, simply remove jumpers J10 and J11.

Fader (S2-ODAF only)

Presets P1 & P2 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion) through the VCA stage. They are factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

Preset P3 sets the VCA fader gain to 0dB when the fader is fully open. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment, unless it has been found necessary to replace the fader or other VCA components.

Presets, P5 (left) and P4 (right), set the peak digits through the conditioning circuits to the analogue to digital converter. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment.

Preset P8 sets the gain through the limiter that feeds the analogue to digital converters. Preset P9 sets the threshold. Presets P6 & P7 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion) through the limiting stage. They are all factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

Gain can be altered using P4 and P5 on board versions S2-OP-04 and above, as P8 is no longer fitted on these boards.

Synchronisation Mode and Sample Rate

The following jumpers, J3 to J6 and J9 on V2, are used for setting the Sync Mode and Sample Rate of the digital output.

In Master mode, the digital output sample rate is simply set by, and locked to, the internal on-board clock generator. No sync signal is used or required.

In Auto mode the sample rate follows the sync input. When the sync signal is not present the sample rate will be set by, and locked to, the internal on-board clock generator at a frequency determined by the jumpers.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      1. 100.

Sync Select

The pair of jumpers, J10 and J11, select the sync source between AES, pins 1 & 2, and S/PDIF, pins 2 & 3. The default is AES/EBU. Both jumpers need to be altered for this to work correctly.

Digital Output Mode

Jumper J12 selects the digital output mode between AES/EBU, pins 1 & 2, and S/PDIF, pins 2 & 3. The default is AES/EBU.

Presets

Presets P1 & P2 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion) through the VCA stage. They are factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

Preset P3 sets the VCA fader gain to 0dB when the fader is fully open. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment, unless it has been found necessary to replace the fader or other VCA components.

Presets, P5 (left) and P4 (right), set the peak digits through the conditioning circuits to the analogue to digital converter. This is preset on final test and should not require further adjustment.

Preset P8 sets the gain through the limiter that feeds the analogue to digital converters. Preset P9 sets the threshold. Presets P6 & P7 are for altering the audio waveform symmetry (i.e. distortion) through the limiting stage. They are all factory set on final test and should not be adjusted further.

Gain can be altered using P4 and P5 on board versions S2-OP-04 and above, as P8 is no longer fitted on these boards.

Button Mode Settings

To make the 52 modules as flexible as possible, every button on each channel can be set to a number of different modes. These will aid in the use of the mixer and allow for extra functionality. To make use of these modes, you must enter a setup mode which is exactly the same for every module. It is only necessary to perform this procedure once.

To enter the setup mode, hold down the PGM and AUD buttons together for 5 seconds. After which all the buttons will start a recurring flashing sequence, at this point it is ok to release the PGM and AUD buttons. This sequence indicates the mode which each button is currently set to. One flash equals mode one, two flashes equals mode two etc. To change the mode for a particular button simply press it once and watch the number of flashes increase. Once the maximum mode number has been reached it will simply wrap around to mode one and continue as before. To exit this setup procedure press and hold both the PGM and AUD buttons as before for 2 seconds and the module will start operating as normal.

Each button and their corresponding modes are listed below.

PGM

Mode 1: Normal. PGM can be selected as the meter feeder as normal.

Mode 2: Always on. PGM is permanently selected as the meter feed.

Mode 3: Always off. PGM can never be selected as the meter feed.

AUD

Sonifex S2-CDASE - METERBRIDGE MODULES - 2

20 Meterbridge Modules

The meterbridge area can house different styles of metering, dual timer, PFL/Talkback speaker, switcher and talkback modules. S2's meterbridge modules are freely assignable so that you can position them exactly where you want them.

Meterbridge Module Types

Three styles of dual meter panels, for displaying signal levels, are available for mounting in the meterbridge: Dual VU panel S2-MVU, dual PPM panel S2-MPPM, and dual true PPM panel S2-MPPT*. The S2-ML53 is an LED meter for displaying both VU and PPM scales. Illuminated LEDs on each meter panel indicate the monitoring source.

A meterbridge panel, S2-MPH can be linked to a dual meter panel and used to display phase information on the selected source.

A meterbridge loudspeaker panel, S2-ML, can be used to monitor PFL and Reverse Talkback via separate level controls. The speaker will mute in a "mic live" situation.

A comprehensive dual timer display, S2-MT, is available for timing events triggered from mlc or line input modules. The timer can also display the real time and date synchronised to a standard time broadcast.

Two talkback panels are available. The S2-MTB6 can be used for communicating with up to 6 other mixers or dedicated talkback systems, and the S2-MTBS is used for interfacing with a Sonifex Station Master.

One, or two source select panels, S2-M6SS, can be used to expand the number of input sources monitored using the EXT 1 and EXT2 buttons (6 for each), as well as a general input source selector for other applications.

A 1 button switch panel, S2-MSB1, and 3 button switch panel, S2-MSB3, are 1 channel wide meterbridge panels, with 1 and 3 buttons respectively which can be used for bespoke control of the S2, or for your own purposes, e.g. for equipment control.

* Please note that the S2-MPPT has been discontinued.

Meterbridge Distribution Board

The Meterbridge Distribution Board is situated in the rear section of the meterbridge metalwork and is the interface between the channel area of the desk and the meterbridge modules. Six connectors on the board provide power and various signals to the meterbridge modules and it is therefore possible, where space permits, to install 1 x S2-ML, 1 x S2-MT, and up to three of your chosen style of meter panels. Meters can be configured to display PFL, PGM, or Monitor, which is the signal selected by the buttons on the PGM output module. The sixth connector provides power only for customer option meterbridge units. The meterbridge distribution board has active circuitry allowing a basic mixer set up with one set of meters displaying the PGM output, or PGM output interrupted by PFL.

Overview

Each of the dual timers can be used for timing events triggered by Timer 1, Timer 2, or the Mic fader open signal. In addition the upper timer is used for displaying the time of day and the lower timer for displaying the date. The illumination pattern of the red LEDs indicates the timer display mode.

The date and time can be synchronised to a very accurate internal clock or optionally from an external source, MSF, DCF, SMPTE, or RS232 time code string.

Panel Controls

START / STOP

When the display is in Timer 1, Timer 2 or MIC timer (manual) mode, this button causes the timer to start, if currently stopped, or stop, if currently running. This button has other functions when the display is in other modes, which are described below.

RESET

When the display is in Timer 1, Timer 2 or MIC timer (manual) mode, this button causes the timer to be reset, but only if that timer is not currently running.

MODE

Changes the current display mode from TIMER 1, to TIMER 2, to MIC, to TIME (or DATE) back

Attenuation The reduction of a signal level. Attenuation is usually measured in dB.

AES Audio Engineering Society.

AES/EBU Professional digital audio standard covering frame format, connections and interfaces. Interface is usually on XLR sockets and plugs.

Balance The relative levels of the left and right channels of a stereo signal.

Cleanfeed A cleanfeed is the signal produced by the telco module, which is used as the output to be fed back to a caller on a telephone line. A true cleanfeed is the sum of all the other signals, which constitute the programme output, except for the caller's audio.

Clipping The onset of severe distortion in the signal path, usually caused by the peak signal voltage being limited by the circuit's headroom.

CMRR Common Mode Rejection Ratio. This is the ratio of the extent to which a differential amplifier will cancel noise, which is present on both inputs, compared to its ability to amplify the wanted signal.

Cross-talk This is the amount of an unwanted signal which appears, or is induced, on a different or unassimilated signal. The problem is usually most prevalent with adjacent channels.

CUE See PFL

dB (decibel) A ratio of two voltages or signal levels, expressed by the equation dB=20LOG(V1/V2)

Adding the suffix "u" denotes that the signal is relative to 0.775V RMS. Adding the suffix "v" denotes that the signal is relative to 1V RMS.

De-emphasis Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis are techniques used to improve the overall signal to noise ratio in communication channels. The frequency response of the channel is weighted with a 6 dB per octave slope prior to transmission (pre-emphasis), and then the inverse of this weighting is applied at the receiving end (de-emphasis) to restore a flat frequency response.

Gain The degree of amplification, or attenuation applied to a signal.

Hybrid A device that allows a telephone line to be connected to a broadcast desk in such a way that the caller may hear the programme output without the caller's voice being re-introduced onto the phone line. Essentially a two to four wire converter.

LED Light Emitting Diode.

Mix-minus Another method of producing a cleanfeed, except that the caller's voice is removed from the signal electronically. Due to phasing problems at the signal band edges, the mix-minus method often produces a lower grade signal to the true cleanfeed method.

PAN This controls the levels (usually of a mono signal) sent to the left and right outputs and is an abbreviation of "panorama".

PFL (CUE) Pre Fade Listen, also called CUE. A function that allows the operator to monitor the pre fader signal independently of the programme output.

Pre-emphasis see De-emphasis.

S/PDIF Sony/Phillips Digital Interface. Domestic digital audio interface standard using phono connectors or optically using fibre-optic connectors.

TBU See hybrid.

T/B Talkback (and reverse talkback, Rev T/B). This is the ability for two or more studios to communicate with each other off-air.

Telco TELEphone COmmunication. The telco module is used by the presenter to talk to telephone callers via a hybrid or TBU.

THD

Total Harmonic Distortion.
