ORIGIN Master Section
About the ORIGIN Master Section and centre section rack layout.
The ORIGIN Master Section is designed to be the heart of a flexible, configurable central layout. The 6U 19" rack width is designed
to be re-positionable for different application priorities. As standard, the master section is fitted in the bottom 6U of the 12U central
rack layout and there are two 3U panels blank panels above. The Master Section is cabled such that it can be placed in any of the
rack slots from the lowest 6U to the top 6U and therefore the blank panels may be re-arranged to support other third party devices
such as keyboards, or controllers. Additionally custom 19" panels, such as switch panels, or trays for controllers may be fitted and
cable access is available through an access hole at the rear of the base of the cavity (see diagram below).
It is possible to fit shallow audio devices, such as 500 series rack modules, into the upper areas of the centre racking, care should
be taken that any devices fitted do not introduce overheating issues, either because of their own power consumption, or because
they restrict airflow, see the IMPORTANT INFORMATION below.
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
HEAT AND VENTILATION
As shown in the drawing below, ventilation through the internal cavity of the centre section is very important. Any device which is
tted into the racking which signicantly restricts airow through the central cavity could create overheating issues for the
electronics in the Master Section. Deep units which could signicantly obstruct airow should have at least a 1U ventilation
panel underneath their rack position to allow airow through the Master Section.
ELECTRICAL NOISE AND INTERFERENCE
Any third party electronics mounted in the centre section racking could expose the Master Section to electrical noise/interference
and compromise the audio performance of ORIGIN. Obviously, SSL cannot be responsible for any issues that may arise because
of this and owners should remove any devices causing such issues to preserve the audio performance of the console.
MOVING THE MASTER SECTION
Though the Master Section is designed to be re-positioned, it is not designed for continuous changes of position, it is moveable to
configure the console for different applications, not to be moved for each session.
