Locate all unbalanced audio equipment in the same rack if possible, to
minimize chassis ground potential differences. It may also be helpful to
insulate each piece of unbalanced equipment from its mounting rails in the
rack by means of nylon 10-32 screws and insulating washers between rails
and faceplates.
Once the system is properly grounded, proceed with the console
power supply installation and connection (next section).
Power Supplies
The D-16 console is powered by an Audioarts Model PSR-100 rackmount
power supply. This unit occupies two 19” wide rack spaces (total height
3-1/2”). Convection cooled, it requires ample ventilation space above and
below it.
Note that the power supply should be mounted in an equipment rack
within fifteen feet of the console (but no closer than 3 feet). Avoid locating
any high gain equipment (such as phono preamps, tape recorders, etc.) too
near the rackmount supplies, to avoid magnetic interference into that
equipment.
Once the supply is rackmounted, it should be connected to the console
using the factory supplied cable. The cable has two different types of
connectors on it: an 8-pin female connector that connects to the console’s
power supply connector, and an 8-pin male connector that plugs into the rear
of the rackmount PSR-100 power supply. The console’s power supply
connector is located at the rear of the console, at the right end of the
meterbridge bottom pan. If you are using one supply, connect it to the
console connector. If you are using two supplies (failsafe option), connect

If failsafe redundant sup-
plies have been ordered,
you will be installing two
units and an additional
rackmount panel.
