1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. General Information

This manual gives general functional and technical information on the Seeport

port-

able mixer, The mixer has 4 outputs. A separate manual is available for the Seeport

which has 2 outputs.

Seeport has been designed with much thought to the user. With its modular design, it

offers versatility and an extensive range of functions, some which are not so typical

in small mixers, making it suitable for many types of applications. Typically these

include radio and television studio work, OB vans, film sound, location recording and

TV post production.

The ergonomic design and surface layout of Seeport has been much appraised over

the years, incorporating a high functional level into a compact, yet uncluttered user

surface.

Seeport is available in three frame sizes and with a range of different modules. Full

details of all modules are given in this manual.

Built to very high standards both mechanically and electronically, Seeport is robust

and extremely reliable in operation. All faders used are Penny & Giles long throw

(104 mm) conductive plastic. The frame mechanism provides a neat suitcase type

carrying solution. Weight has also been taken into consideration in the design, a 7/4

weighing approximately 9.5kg.

Various options are available for Seeport. These are covered in section 4.

Further technical information is provided in the Seeport Service Documentation. This

is provided with each Seeport delivery or is available from Seemix Sound on request.

The following drawing is an example of an 7 channel configuration. The 4-output version is

available in three frame sizes, housing 7, 11 or 15 input modules.

3.1 Mic/Mono Line Input Module, I3809

3. MODULES

GAIN

+/-20 dB fine gain adjustment on mic and line inputs.

PHANTOM ON/OFF

Switch for selecting 48 V phantom power.

PHASE(X/=)

Phase reversal switch.

MIC GAIN

10-50 dB gain on mic input.

High pass filter, 12 dB/octave. 80 Hz and 140 Hz cut off frequencies.

MIC / LINE

Mic/Line input selector. (Separate XLR-type connectors).

LOW

Parametric equalizer low end. +/-12 dB, 50 Hz to 1kHz peak/dip.

Q=1.3 at max peak/dip.

HIGH

Parametric equalizer high end, +/-12 dB, 600 Hz to 10 kHz

peak/dip. Q=1.3 at max peak/dip.

AUX 1-4

Aux output pre/post selectors and level pots. AUX 1 and AUX 2 have

center off switches and no pots.

PAN

Pan potentiometer for panning signal between A and B, plus C and D

outputs.

PAN OFF

Deactivates pan pot. Signal is sent equally to all 4 outputs.

S/N SWITCH

With this switch in the S position, a phase reversal of the signal is

sent to outputs B and D. This provides therefore the ’S’ signal of an

MS configuration on both A/B and C/D outputs. The ’M’ signal would

be fed from a separate mic channel (in N, normal position). In this

way, two faders can be used for controlling an MS signal. Note: The

pan pot must be set centred for both channels when used in MS con-

figuration.

PEAK

Overload LED.

A, B, C, D

Switches for routing channel to respective output(s). Affects stereo

outputs only, leaving AUX and PFL active.

ON AIR LED

This is lit when the fader is open and any one or more of the A, B, C

or D switches are depressed.

PFL

Pre-fade listen, with LED. Jumper settings determine whether PFL is

cut when channel is On Air, or is independent of On Air status. Other

jumper settings determine whether PFL monitoring as automatically

SIGNALISATION.

When the fader is open, and any of the A, B, C or D-switches are on, the

fader start relay for the channel will be closed when the channel is in LINE

position. In MIC position, the CUE1 or CUE2 signalling bus may be fed

(jumper dependent).

JUMPER SETTINGS.

The following jumper settings are available for the module.

• INSERT option

• CUE1 or CUE2 or no CUE when on air.

• PFL control - activating channel PFL button overrides monitor selec-

tion and activates PFL monitoring. (Cue 2 and PFL Ctrl cannot be

used simultaneously.)

• PFL muted by ON AIR, or PFL independent of ON AIR

The positions of these jumpers are indicated in the diagram below.

GAIN

+/-20 dB fine gain adjustment.

X/=

In ’X’ position, phase reverses left input channel.

HIGH PASS

High pass filter, 12 dB/octave. 140 Hz cut off frequency.

MONO L/R

When both switches are in the right position (as shown) the

channel is stereo. When the L position is used, the left input

signal is sent to both A/B and C/D channels. When the R

position is used the right input signal is sent to both A/B and

C/D channels. If both switches are used, both left and right

inputs are sent to both A/B and C/D channels.

LOW

Shelving filter low end, +/-12 dB.

HIGH

Shelving filter high end, +/-12 dB.

MS DEC

Switches an MS decoder into the channel. With switch in the

MS DEC position, a signal recorded in MS format can be

decoded through the channel to give stereo at the A/B and

C/D outputs. The ’M’ signal uses the left input connector, the

’S’ signal the right.

AUX 1-4

AUX output pre-post selectors and level pots. AUX 1 and

AUX 2 have center off switches and no pots.

AUX send signal can be either mono (sum of left and right

input channels) or stereo (left goes to Auxes 1 and 3, right to

Auxes 2 and 4). This choice is jumper selectable.

BAL

Stereo balance potentiometer. Adjusts balance between A

and B, plus C and D outputs.

PEAK

Overload LED.

A/B, C/D

Switches for routing channel to respective outputs. Affects

stereo output only, leaving AUX and PFL active.

ON AIR LED

This is lit when the fader is open and either or both of the A/B

or C/D switches are depressed.

PFL

Stereo pre-fade listen, with LED. Jumper settings determine

whether PFL is cut when channel is On Air, or is independent

of On Air status. Other jumper settings determine whether

PFL monitoring as automatically activated when button is

depressed.

SIGNALLING.

When the fader is open and either of the A/B or C/D-switches are on, the

fader start relay for the channel will be closed.

JUMPER SETTINGS.

The following jumper settings are available for the module.

• INSERT option

• AUX sends mono or stereo

• PFL muted by ON AIR or PFL independent of ON AIR

• PFL control - activating channel PFL button overrides monitor selec-

tion and activates PFL monitoring

3.3 Telephone Hybrid Module TH3802

3. MODULES

GAIN

+/-20 dB fine gain adjustment

Equalizer +/-12 dB, 150 Hz to 4,8 kHz peak/dip.

AUX 1-4

Aux output pre-post selectors and level pots. AUX 1/2 has a center

off switch and no pot. The post fade point is before the A, B, C and

D switches.

SEND LEVEL

Level potentiometer for return signal to incoming caller. The LE-

VEL LED indicates that the SEND level limiter is active.

SEND BUTTONS

Interlocking switches for selecting return signal to caller. Caller

may be sent either AUX1 or AUX2 signals (jumper selectable), or

an external signal (EXT) connected at the back of the module.

”SET” OFF

”SET” OFF LED indicates that the telephone set is disconnected.

This is activated by the CONNECT button or by CUE1 or CUE2

(jumper selectable). CUE1 or CUE2 may be activated by any other

channel when on air (eg. For red light). This therefore avoids ring-

ing interuption when for example a local mic is live.

CONNECT

This button activates the hybrid function itself and connects the

line to the channel. It also disconnects the telephone set (100ms

after making the channel connection) as mentioned above. Relea-

sing the connect button breaks the connection to the mixer chan-

nel and re-connects the telephone set (again after 100ms) to

enable off air conversation. NB: The set will only be re-connected

when the relevant CUE signal is not present, e.g. local mic which

controls red light is off air.

CALL

The call LED gives a visual indication of the presence of an

incoming call. This is useful when ringing has been deactivated by

one of the cue busses when on air.

PAN

Pan potentiometer for panning signal between A and B, plus C and

D outputs.

PAN OFF

Deactivates pan pot. Signal is sent equally to all 4 outputs.

A, B, C, D

Routes signal to A, B, C and D mix busses.

ON AIR LED

This is lit when the fader is open and any one or several of the A,

B, C or D switches are depressed.

PFL

Pre-fade listen, with LED. Jumper settings determine whether PFL

is cut when channel is On Air, or is independent of On Air status.

The drawing in the upper left corner of the module shows the

connections on the back panel.
