The Console Centre Section
The centre section of a J Series console is fitted, as standard, with two centre bays, one
eight modules wide and one ten modules wide (see opposite).
Located to the left of the centre section, the SL 952/953J Master Facilities Module
houses the master logic controls, monitoring and metering controls, auxiliary send and
echo return masters, communications facilities, power supply rail indicators and a test
oscillator.
Eight master control group faders are located below the SL952J.
The control panel and colour monitor for the J Series Studio Computer are mounted to
the right of the centre section. A tablet and pen, for access to the computer’s on-screen
menus and functions, are fitted in the fader tray below the control panel. A QWERTY
keyboard is provided in a pull-out drawer below the tablet. For more details please
read the J Series Computer Operator’s Manual.

layout, located at the front of this manual.
Power Supply Indicators
Working down from the top of the panels, one of the first sections you will meet has
six LEDs which display the current state of power rails within the console.
The 48 volt supply provides phantom power to the mic lines; the bipolar 18 and 22
volt, and the 5 volt supplies are for audio and logic circuitry respectively.
±14 volt supplies provide power for the fader motors and the meter back lights. There
are no LEDs to indicate the state of these rails, but the absence of meter illumination
will provide a clue if they are missing!
All LEDs should normally be illuminated, if not – PANIC!
