Module Overview

The CRS-55 module is the R-55 console operator’s monitor module.

It allows the operator to listen to the console’s two stereo (PGM & AUD)

outputs, two mono (MONO & PRE) outputs, and an external stereo line

level input brought directly into the module.

A recessed front panel multi-turn trimpot adjusts talkback level.

The CRS-55 module also houses three console monitor circuits, which

follow the source selection switches. They are:

CONTROL ROOM (CR)—a dedicated output designed to drive a

separate, user provided power amp/speaker system in the main control

room;

STUDIO—a second stereo output intended for a remote (i.e., non CR)

studio power amp/speaker system;

HEADPHONE (HDPN)—an additional output (w/built-in power amp)

that drives the console operator’s headphones. There are two types of

headphone output: the -2dBu unbalanced output at the module’s DB-25

connector, and the headphone jack mounted in the right-hand corner of the

console, which is actually the output from a built-in headphone amplifier.

The CRS-55 module has a talkback switch. When the talkback switch

is pressed (it is momentary action) the console operator’s microphone

signal will interrupt the regular monitor signals being sent to the studio.

All user wiring to and from the CRS-55 module takes place at the DB-

25 multi-pin connector mounted at the top of the module and located

underneath the hinged meterbridge. All audio connections are stereo line

level analog signals. A pinout drawing on page 4-5 shows all wiring

connections at a glance.
