OXYGEN 5 SERIES INTRODUCTION
1 OXYGEN 5 SERIES INTRODUCTION
The Oxygen 5 is a specially designed On-Air broadcast console. Although the design has been carefully budgeted, no
compromises has been made in either quality or features, particularly in the areas of switching, signalling, fader start/stop
and communication. Electronic components have been selected from the best on the market.
Faders, potentiometers and switches are by ALPS. Most all of the switches have led indicators and all similar functions
are grouped and colour coded, with additional fader knobs with different channel colour coding. Long throw faders give a
smooth, repeatable response. VCA control for input module sliders is available as an option.
Oxygen 5 modularity: The console is fully modular, which means flexibility in the configuration. The Mono, Stereo, Telco
and Multi input modules can be placed anywhere in the chassis. A partially loaded Oxygen 5 can be completed using low
cost ‘blind’ modules. The modular approach to the design means that module replacement, or expansion of the system
can be carried out quickly and efficiently. A SUB module is available as an option. It offers a stereo Sub-Group output
slider-controlled and integrates a fully-featured audio compressor which can be applied to Sub output itself or to any
stereo source for ‘talk-over’ use. All modules are internally connected by a strong bus cable which clips into place -
removal of the cable and two screws allows each module to be easily removed
Self Contained. The Oxygen 5 is a complete and self contained piece of hardware, requiring no additional items in order
to be operated. All most popular functions are built-in, such as fader start/stop, Talk Back, loudspaker mouting, etc
Signaling and communications. Oxygen 5’s wide range of functions provides the most immediate and complete
broadcast control. For instance, it provides: Start/Stop commands, Studio - Control Room speakers cut-off, phantom
microphone powering. All input/output connections are balanced on 1/4" jacks. The Oxygen 5 has also extensive
possibilities for signaling and communications. The announcer/technician/producer/director can communicate with the
announcer studio or to the callers connected to the Telco modules for private communications. MONO and TELCO
modules allow also to control two relays activating ON-AIR lamps
1.1 OXYGEN 5 – AVAILABLE FRAME SIZE
Oxygen 5 console is available in two frame sizes: the frame 18, which can contain 18 overall modules, and the frame 26.
A script try (10 module wide) can be fitted for both versions. The frames are inox steel + aluminium made, with wood
finishing touch. Each console has always one output module (Master/ Monitor) to the far right which controls the
Studio/Control Room monitoring, pre-fade listen and talkback functions. The meter bridge contains at least two VU / PPM
meters (PFL/Master Left/Right).
