Preface

This manual contains all the information that is necessary to prepare and

plan the installation of the mixing console and accessory components.

Please, read this manual carefully. We point out common mistakes and

problems that are connected with the installation and provide suggestions

to avoid such problems. You will save a lot of time and unnecessary start

up problems by investing a couple of hours in the reading of this manual.

The rst part of the manual contains everything about the power supply

units and crossover devices that are necessary for fail safe power supply

congurations and the implementation of the mains connections. Part 2

is about the audio installation. Besides detailed information about basic

principles of audio installation and the methods of grounding, this chapter

contains all pinning diagrams, pictures and graphics about the locations of

the connectors, and a detailed description of their functions.

Part 3 contains general information about the frame, the assembly of the

console, environmental considerations, the recommended maintenance,

and a couple of remarks about the operation of the console to ensure a

long and problem free lifespan.

This manual concerns the 5.1 surround sound

versions of the SRC51 console system for consoles

without patchbay

1. Frames

General Information

SRC51 console frames are available in many different versions. Almost any frame size with an even number of module slots is possible. The maximum,

overall width of a single frame is 3900 mm. Such a frame has 96 module slots. Several smaller frames can be combined to form a rig on a common, spe-

cial oorstand. All frames are basically oorstand versions, but up to a width of approximately 1500 mm, desktop and build-in version are possible.

Side View

Please refer to your order conrmation and the

drawings provided with the included informati-

on for the side view and oor plan of your parti-

cular console version. A side view/sectional view

of the frame is on the next page and on the last

page of this manual.

Frame Width

The width of the frames depends of the number

of modules of a particular console. The width of

a single slot is 40 mm. All input modules are ar-

ranged in a grid of 4 modules. Any number of in-

put modules that can divided by 4 is possible. The

width of the master section is 4 slots.

Master Section

The master section can be installed anywhere in

the console between or next to a block of 4 in-

put modules. The master section has a width of

4 modules slots.

Free space for the keyboard of the optional conso-

le automation system has to be considered when

the width of the master section is determined.

The location of the master section in the frame

must be determined with the order. It is not pos-

sible to change this position later.

Input Modules

The frame slots that are used for input modules are compatible with all types of input modules.

However, stereo modules and surround modules use the connectors and the patch bay jacks

differently. Please read the description of the particular modules for details.

Blindpanels, producer tables, remote areas, writing surface

Any even number of blind panels can be installed on the left and right side of the console,

between blocks of 4 input modules, and on the left and right side of the master section. The

only limit is the maximum width of a single frame. These options offer the choice to adapt

a particular frame exactly to the needs. The blindpanels can be standard, single slot or four

slot blindpanels or complete plates of any width. It is also possible to install custom supplied

equipment, like remotes or keyboards into these plates. Of course, the depth of the frame li-

mits this possibility. Blind panels of any size can be black anodized like the standard top plates

or powder coated.

It is possible to install standard channel motherboards under the blind panels if the total width

of the particular panel can be devided by four. This makes it possible to install input modules

when the particular blind panel section is no longer needed.

Variantes

All frames are basically oorstand versions. The oorstands are part of the

scope of supply. They are xed to ange plates on the left and right side of the

frame. Desktop versions or build-in version are possible for small frames up to

a width of approximately 1.5 meters. The standard wooden side panels are ma-

de of 30 mm bonded plywood panels with beechwood veneer. They are either

matte nished or stained black. Other versions are possible on special order.

Meterbridge

A meter bridge is standard for all consoles. LED PPM meters, VU meters and

plasma bar graphs are available for all versions of the SRC51 console system.

In addition, dynamics modules with or without meter in mono and stereo ver-

sions can be installed in the meter bridge of the SRC51 consoles.

2. Installation of the console

This chapter is only of importance if the console is not delivered and

installed by adt-audio or one of its representatives. In this case, the

console system is delivered by a forwarding agency. You will receive

several wooden boxes that contain the console, the oor stand, the power

supply units, and the accessories. To keep the total weight of the main

box as low as possible, the main box contains only the main frame of the

console, everything else is packed in additional boxes. Since the total

weight of the console frame box is considerable, it might be a problem to

unload the main case. As soon as we have shipped the console system, we

will inform you about the details of shipment. Please get in touch with the

local ofce of the forwarding agency to clear up all details about unloading

the boxes. The total weight of the entire system depends on the size of

the frame and on the versions of modules. In any case, the total weight of

a SRC51 console system will be between 80kg/176 lbs (16 channel) and

500 kg/1100 lbs (72 channel). Two persons can easily handle the power

supply, accessories and other boxes.

The packing depends on the shipping method and on the forwarder. With

airfreight, in most cases only a base plate for the console frame is needed

while the sides and the top of the console can be covered by stable foil

and/or cardboard.

Unpacking

Make sure that you have the following tools at hand:

A set of screwdrivers for Philips head screws,

metric Allen keys 1.5 to 4 mm, a Torx 10 screwdriver and a metrix pin

type socket wrench 10 mm

A set of metric wrenches, from 10 to 19 mm

A 10 mm and a 12 mm metric allen key for the screws that hold the

oorstand.

Please unpack all the other boxes before unpacking the main box. The rst

step of installing the console ist to prepare the oorstands and the screws

that x the oorstands to the ange plates on the left and right side of

the console’s frame. The screws and some other accessories are packed

together with the wooden side panels in the main box.

Open the main box with the console and remove everything apart from the

console that is xed to the base plate of the box with 4 M12 screws. You

can reach these screws from the bottom of the box. Remove the screws,

using an mm allen key, to free the main frame.

Check carefully to verify that the console was not damaged during transit.

If there is any damage, inform the forwarder before you continue. Do

not alter anything and make sure to take some pictures of the damage.

In most cases, transport insurance will cover any damage; this however,

depends on the details of the purchase. In any case, you are supposed to

inform the forwarding agency and us immediately. A mechanical damage

can be the cause for electrical problems, damaged or broken pcb’s or other

problems that might be hidden until you make a nal and complete test of

the entire system.

Depending on the size and the weight of the frame you might need up to 6

persons for the next step, the installation of the oor stand. There are two

separate oor stands, one for each side of the frame. They are xed with

2 M12 allen screws each thru the upper plate of each stand to the ange

plate on the left and right bottom of the main frame. It is the same point

that was used to x the main frame in the transport box.

adt-audio

SRC

Do not use the meter bridge as a handle or lifting point when lifting and/

or moving the console.

Use the ange plates and the side panels. In case that you need to transport the

frame thru windows, stairways, or if you have to lift the frame, it’s a good idea to

use the M12 screws for the oorstands as xing point for handles or ropes that

you might need for the transport. The ange plates on the console bottom are very

stable and can hold the entire weight of the console frame in any position.

Additional M12 threads in the side panels of the console can be used for M12

eyeball screws for easier handling of the frame. The eyeball screws are part of the

standard accessory kit.

The easiest way to install the oor stand is to sit the console frame on its

connector panel with the fader bank up (in the air). Depending on the weight of

the frame, 4 or 6 persons will be required to lift the frame. For safety, two persons,

(one on either end of the console) should securely hold the console in place at all

times when it is in this position. The bottom of the frame can now be accessed

easily. Attach the two oor stands to the ange plates and x them in place with

the M16 allen screws. Make sure that you include the washers and the snap rings.

After this part is accomplished, you can carefully tilt the entire frame up into the

normal operating position. Make sure that there are enough persons to handle the

weight of the console safely.

To avoid damage, the wooden side panels are packed separately. After the

installation of the oor stand, place the console into the nal position and unpack

the side panels. Usually the panels contain threaded inserts or have pre-drilled

holes. They are xed to the side panels by a couple of screws. The position of the

panels explains itself, just match the threaded inserts or pre-drilled holes with the

free holes in the side panels of the frame. In most cases, the small wooden panels

for the meter bridge will be already mounted. If this is not the case with your

console, remove the rear cover sheets on both sides of the meter bridge and x

the wooden panels with the wood screws included in the accessory kit.

In most cases, the armrest is already mounted when you get the console. If this is

the case, it is protected by a foil. Just remove the foil covering the armrest.

In case that the transport is very complicated, the armrest might not be mounted.

If this is the case you need to x it to the rectangular tube at the front of the

Left Rear with Floorstand

SRC

console frame. You will nd the necessary screws in the accessorie box.

The armrest has been prepared for mounting at the factory. It’s xed by

screws thru holes in the frame. Please check for the pre drilled holes in the

armrest, put it in place and x the armrest from the inside. If the modules

are installed, you need to remove modules to access the holes.

You are now ready to install the power supply. Read the rst chapter of

the manual that contains important information on the installation of the

power supply. Mount the power supply, make sure that it is switched off,

and connect the power cord to the mains socket.

If you have a failsafe power supply, you can use one of the two power

supply units for a rst check. Of course, you can also install the complete

power supply system. Mount both power supply units and the crossover

unit into a rack or put it into its permanent location. Make sure that

everything is switched off and connect all units to the mains supply.

Important note:

Make sure that you install the two power supply units to two different

fuses. If you do not do so, a

problem on one of the units that

is connected to this fuse will

disable the crossover system.

Switch all units on and check if

all control LED’s are working.

Switch everything off again and

install the included cables. With

a standard console, you will have

only one cable to connect the

power supply and the console.

With a failsafe unit, there are 2

additional cables to connect the

two power supply units to the

crossover device. The console

must be connected to the crossover device.

After you have installed all connections, double check for any transport

damage. Check if all the modules are properly installed in the frame. If

you are sure that everything is okay, switch the system on and check if

all control LED’s of the power supply are on. It is a good idea to install the

speaker system in the next step and make a quick test if all channels are

working.

It is a good idea to make a complete check of all console functions, before

you plug in your audio installation. If you do so, you are sure that the

console is working properly and any problem can only be caused by the

installation. This makes it a lot easier to nd the reasons for any problems.

Installing the audio cables

The entire connector bay is located inside the console and can be hidden

behind cover sheets with ventilation slots. The inlets for the audio cables

are in the rear bottom of the console frame.

3. Operating conditions

Environments

Environmental conditions have great inuence on the long-term stability

and reliability of the entire console.

Temperature

The recommended operating temperature range is from 10 °C to 45 °C.

The console will also operate at temperatures above and below this limit

of course. However, operating at temperatures outside this range for long

periods can reduce the lifespan of the console.

Under normal conditions, we recommend that you power down the console

if it is not in use. The console is ready for use within a minute. It will reach

a steady operating temperature within the rst hour of operation. There is

no reason to leave the system switched on constantly.

For some reasons it can be of advantage as far as the lifespan of the

console is concerned to leave the system powered on if, for example, the

temperature is not stable, and drops down far below 10 degrees at night.

In this case, it will take a longer period to reach its steady operating state.

Within the rst weeks of operation, the console should not run in

continuous operation. Failure of an IC, an electrolytic or other early failure

is most likely in the rst weeks of operation.

Soiling

The console and all its connectors should be kept as dust and dirt free as

possible. If drinks or other liquids are accidentally spilled onto the console,

the concerned modules must be immediately removed and cleaned. We

recommend the use of isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the console. Isopropyl

alcohol will not damage the components of the console. The sooner the

remains of any spilled liquid is cleaned, is the less risk there is of damage.

4. Maintainance

A SRC51 console requires no regular maintenance. Service is only

required, if there is a failure that makes repair necessary. Almost

all problems can be xed by exchanging a defective module.

Following our recommended procedures for the use and care of the

console will result in an extended lifespan of the console.

Console use

All electromechanical components of the console, such as potentiometers,

switches, faders, and relays are self-cleaning. However, self-cleaning

only occurs when the particular component is in use. The electrical and

mechanical lifespan of these components exceeds the useful life of the

system in any case. A rotary pot, for instance, that has a lifespan of 50000

rotation, will work properly for a period of more than 30 years if it is used

one time in an hour for 8 hours a day and 200 work days per year. Long-

term reliability is directly connected to continuous operation. Fine dust and

hardened grease, will be a problem for components that remain unused

for years. If it is not possible to use all the components of a console

constantly, we recommend that you actuate all pots and switches at least

one time per 6 months 3 to 6 times to keep the self cleaning process

adt-audio

SRC

running.

Testing the console

From time to time, (we recommend at least one time per year) all

functions of the mixer should be tested. Check every function, all the

inputs and outputs and all controls and switches of the entire console. If

you are not able to make any necessary repairs immediately, make a note

of all problems that were found for future repairs. With large, complex

consoles, it is a good idea to maintain a logbook at hand that is used to

note all problems in the studio. Since it is likely that most of the problems

will be discovered while working with the console, it is good idea to make

a quick note which includes all the details of the problems such as; the

particular channel, the source signal and any special setting that caused

the problem. This helps a service technician to locate problems. Many

problems that come up in a particular setting only, may not be easily

reconstructed after the end of a session. The more precise the notation in

the logbook, the more likely it is that problems that are caused by a bad

cable or anything else that is not a problem of a function of the console

itself, can be found and repaired.

Cleaning

Only non-corrosive cleaners such isopropyl alcohol should be used

for cleaning the console and its components. Isopropyl alcohol is he

best choice for all parts, including the plastic knobs and caps and the

pushbutton knobs, all electric components and the top plates. More

aggressive cleaners can cause problems because they might corrode

mechanical or electrical components. Do not use any kind of thinner –

you will have to replace all plastic parts that were exposed to the thinner.

Potentiometers and push buttons

Depending on the environmental situation at the location, the grease

inside the switches, rotary pots and slider faders begins to harden within

a period between approximately 6 years and 15 years. It is not possible

to determine an exact time when this occurs, since the environmental

inuence is different from location to location and the frequency of use of

the different components has an inuence on this condition as well.

It is very easy to prevent these effects just by following these simple

maintenance steps. We recommend that this be done after 6 six years of

operation.

Rotary pots and slider faders:

When the grease between bushing and shaft begins to harden, the pot will

run tight. Apply a small drop of penetrating oil between the shaft and the

bushing and turn the pot 5 to 10 times. Doing this will keep the pots in

good shape for many years.

Pushbutton switches

The grease in the pushbutton switches will also begin to harden. Since

it is the same process, this will usually happen at the same time and it

depends on the environmental conditions and the frequency of use. The

best way to maintain pushbutton switches is the use of a special lubricant,

type CRC3-36, brand CRC, Belgium. If you cannot get this oil, you can

order it from the factory.

This cleaner contains a non-aggressive, non-permanent solvent that

dissolves hardened fat and grease effectively. The second component is a

good, non-hardening, penetrating oil that protects the cleaned surface for

a long time. CRC3-36 comes as aerosols that make it easy to apply the

agent.

Using CRC3-36 with pushbutton switches is very easy. Remove a module

and put it on a table so that you can see the topside of the switches.

Press the knob of the aerosol tin carefully while you put the end of the

little tube that comes with the tin next to the locker block at the top of

the switch. By pressing the knob carefully, you can produce oil foam.

Apply approximately 1 cubic cm of this foam to each switch that has to be

cleaned. Wait some minutes before you operate each switch 5 to 20 times.

With this procedure, you can keep all the switches in a good shape for an

unlimited period.
