Connection Procedures
As supplied from the factory, the console requires no logic connections
to function. Therefore an orderly installation begins with the audio wiring.
Note this manual is organized by module type (inputs, outputs, monitor
modules, etc.); each chapter contains detailed wiring instructions for its
module type. Proceed through the manual, chapter by chapter, until all
modules have been wired to suit your particular installation requirements.
Once proper audio operation is verified, go back to each individual chapter
and proceed with control wiring.
Digital Audio Connections
CABLE - All AES/EBU input and output digital audio connections are
balanced and should be made using a high quality digital audio cable. Be
sure to select a digital audio cable with an integral drain wire of the same
wire gauge (AWG) as the twisted pair. Typical AES/EBU digital audio
cable has a very low characteristic capacitance per ft (pF/ft), and a nominal
impedance of 110Ω. High quality digital audio cable offers better signal
transmission performance versus typical analog audio cable, especially
over long cable runs. Check the cable manufactures data sheet to be sure
the cable you plan to use will work in your application.
CONNECTORS - All AES/EBU connections are made with the
supplied DB-25 male mating connectors. These crimp style connectors are
the insulation displacement type and will accept wire gauge 24 - 22AWG.
SPDIF INPUTS - The SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) or
“consumer” digital audio interface is a two wire unbalanced signal
typically on a single RCA style connector. To connect SPDIF devices to
the D-600 simply wire the SPDIF center conductor (HOT) to the SLD-600
“HI” input pin and SPDIF shell (ground) to the SLD-600 “LO” input.
Connect the SLD-600 “SHIELD” at the console end only.
Analog Insert Points
Certain module signals have insert patch points in their signal chains
to allow outboard audio processing. These include MONO MIC INPUTS
(MMD-600) and OUTPUT MODULES (OMD-600).
Normally these points are internally bridged at the factory (via PCB-
mounted programming switches) prior to shipment. If you intend to use
outboard signal loops at these points, you must reprogram these switches.
See pages 2-3 (mic inputs) and 4-3 (output modules) for details.
