To download the latest version of 6200 Designer, a Windows GUI
application interface for the 6200, go to: www.airtoolsaudio.com
7. Press the NEXT button once and the menu should read “Lowest Cntrlr Level, ADC1: xxx Min: 000”. This menu is showing
you the current pot position “ADC: xxx” and the current minimum calibration setting “Min: xxx”.
8. Turn your pot fully counter-clockwise and then turn the ADJUST knob so that the “Min: xxx” value is equal to the displayed
“ADC: xxx” value.
9. Press the NEXT button once and the menu should read “Highest Cntrlr Level, ADC1: xxx Max: 255”. This menu is showing
you the current pot position “ADC: xxx” and the current maximum calibration setting “Max: xxx”.
10. Turn your pot fully clockwise and then turn the ADJUST konb so that the “Max: xxx” value is equal to the displayed “ADC:
xxx” value.
NOTE: The above steps assume you are calibrating ADC1 (Analog Control Input 1). Follow the same steps to calibrate ADC2
(Analog Control Input 2) substituting ADC2’s menus where appropriate.
Assigning a Parameter to an Analog Control Input
Assignment of parameters to an Analog Control Input is done within 6200 Designer. Refer to the online help module within
6200 Designer for more information.
Digital (AES) Out
The 6200 features two AES format digital outputs each of which can transmit a combination of channel 1 or channel 2’s
content or each channel’s content exclusively. Additionally, a HomerLink jack is provided as a rear panel real estate sensitive
means of providing AES/EBU input as well as outputs on a single CAT-5 connection. HomerLink is a Symetrix developed
format for transferring 4 channels of AES/EBU bidirectionally over a single CAT-5 cable. HomerLink allows the 6200 to
integrate with the AirTools Studio Matrix system.
AES OUT CONNECTION
Connect the AES OUT jack of your choice to your downstream equipment’s AES IN jack using a standard 110 Ohm AES cable
terminated with the appropriate XLR jacks.
AES OUT MODE
Typically, an AES jack will carry two audio signals, most often a stereo Left/Right pair. However, in the case of the 6200, this
could also be a 1/2 dual mono pair. Some broadcast consoles in particular would rather receive the exact same signal on one
AES jack, this essentially being a 1/1 pair. The 6200’s AES outputs can be configured to accommodate all scenarios. The
following steps walk you through configuring AES OUT 1’s output format.
1. Press the HOME button to ensure that we are starting from the top.
2. Press the NEXT button once.
3. The display should read “Section to Edit, - Channel 1 Menu -”.
4. Turn the ADJUST knob clockwise until the menu reads “Section to Edit, - Setup Menu -”.
5. Press the NEXT button once.
6. Turn the ADJUST knob clockwise until the menu reads “- Setup Menu, -- AES Assignment --”.
7. Press the NEXT button once.
8. The menu should read “AES Out 1 Mode, Channel 1/Channel 2”. This selection sends channel one out of AES-1 “L” and
channel 2 out of AES-1 “R”. As mentioned previously, some consoles prefer to see the exact same signal on the AES
outputs “L” and “R” channels. To make this adjustment, turn the ADJUST knob to the desired setting.
9. If you turn the ADJUST knob twice clockwise, the menu should read “AES Out 1 Mode, Channel 1/Channel 1”. This is the
option we want to send channel 1’s audio on both the AES “L” and “R” channels. Other options available are “Channel 2/
Channel 1” and Channel 2/Channel 2”.
NOTE: The above steps assume you are configuring AES OUT 1. AES OUT 2 can be configured in the same manner.
