DM-3200
Applications Guide
Music Tracking
hen youre tracking a band in your studio,

there are certain features that musicians
and producers demand from a recording console.
The DM-3200 gives you eight aux sends so that you
can give individual cue mixes to each musician
and have some left over to buss to the two built-in
effects. It has a professional control room section
with talkback mic and slate functions as well as
three playback source selection switches.
For recording large ensembles you get 16 microphone preamps, each with analog insert, phantom
power (selectable in groups of four) and a 20dB
pad switch. Four assignable analog inputs are provided, for inserting your favorite tube compressor
on a console channel, or you can use the 4-band
EQ and dynamics found on every channel.
When the sound is dialed in, send that channel
to its own track with the Direct button or combine
inputs to the 16 busses. There are plenty of digital
and analog I/O options to combine stand-alone hard

recorders or computer-based DAW recorders. The
affordable DM-3200 handles all of the routing and
bussing you need in a professional studio, allowing
you to concentrate on running your session.
Post Production and Gaming
ixing inside of a computer is difcult enough

in stereo, and when you start working on
surround projects, managing and monitoring all
of the ins and outs becomes more like air trafc
control. The DM-3200 becomes your control center
for mixing large projects with dozens of channels.
It can mix your tracks with one snapshot, and with
two button presses youre ready to transfer them
to a dubber or video deck.
Just connect your DAW interface, like Digidesigns
192 Digital I/O for Pro Tools, to one of the digital
connections on the rear panel (or use our optional
IF-FW/DM FireWire interface card). The DM-3200
even acts as a HUI controller for Pro Tools, allowing
you to mix some channels in the DAW and others
in the console.
The DM-3200 is an outstanding choice for mixing in surround, with 5.1 and even 6.1 automated
panning. The 16 busses become two surround
busses in surround mode, allowing you to buss

channels to discrete stems. The optional IF-SM/DM
Surround Monitoring card provides downmixing
to stereo, individual output solo/mute and bass
management features to the console.

ike the DM-24, the DM-3200 makes a reliable

choice for sound reinforcement. Its 16 mic inputs give you plenty of channels for performances
or services, and more mic inputs can be added as
needed using external rackmount preamps with
digital outputs. Each of the 32 channels features
four-band parametric EQ, gating and compression
processing. Two built-in effects processors can access a variety of great-sounding effects processors,
including a reverb processor by TC Works.
If youre the one installing the DM-3200 into a
facility, you can program a variety of settings and
back up your programs to a Compact Flash card.
Recalling snapshots is done using dedicated buttons
on the front panel, so loading a mixer setting is as
simple as changing channels on a TV remote.
The rear panel of the DM-3200 is well-stocked
with balanced and digital I/O, allowing ample connectivity to crossovers, as well as CD and cassette
recorders such as our popular CC-222 mkII.

DR-100MKII
Portable linear PCM Stereo Recorder
The DR-100MKII, designed for professional recording applications in the field, offers high-quality recording directly in WAV or MP3 format
from a rugged metal chassis. You can choose between two pairs of built-in uni-directional and omni-directional microphones, XLR inputs
with switchable 48V phantom power, a separate mini jack line input and a digital input (SPDIF). This ensures that virtually all fields of
application are covered from music, speech and atmosphere recordings to meeting minutes and live concert recordings.
The recording level can be easily controlled by a twin hardware control rather than a menu option. Recordings can be started manually,
automatically by level, advanced (by up to 2 seconds), delayed (to prevent key presses from being recorded) or with the help of the
included remote control or an optional footswitch. A defeatable loudspeaker for playback is also included. You can make overdubs,
manually create a new file during recording, divide a recording and use locate markers. The unit is further equipped with switchable
automatic gain control and limiter, a switchable low-cut filter with three cutoff frequencies, line output, headphones output and USB
connector.
The DR-100MKII comes with a 2-GB SD card, remote control, windshield and soft case and can be powered either by the included
powerful lithium-ion rechargeable, two AA batteries, an optional batterie pack or an optional AC adapter. The second battery source is
used as redundance allowing to change batteries while recording. The built-in mic stand screw socket allows the unit to be mounted on a
tripod or microphone stand.

HS-P82
Professional Multi-Track Field Recorder
The HS-P82 offers 8 tracks of the highest quality recording, yet its built for the rigours of location recording with reliable solid-state
performance. The HS-P82 is built for location television and film production audio, with eight microphone inputs for big shoots or reality
programs. The standard XLR microphone inputs include phantom power and analogue limiting, with trims controlled from recessed
panel controls. In addition to the eight individual tracks, a stereo mixdown can be recorded for instant use during editing.
Audio is recorded at up to 192kHz/24-bit WAV format to a pair of CompactFlash cards. This solid-state media is completely reliable with no
moving parts, and you can record to both cards simultaneously for extra security. The Broadcast WAV files include iXML metadata for
quick import into nearly any video or audio editing system, either via the USB 2.0 connection or a standard card reader.
The HS-P82 offers several options for power supply. It runs on either AA or NP batteries, the included AC adapter, external DC input or a
V-mount adapter for Endura batteries. An internal slate microphone is available for naming takes. Functions like a 5-second prebuffer, front panel lockout and headphone output alert signal further inspire confidence.
For high-resolution music recording, a set of AES/EBU connectors is available for attaching pedigree A/D converters and preamplifiers.
SMPTE timecode in and out, video and word sync are provided. All of this is controlled from a color touchscreen interface which makes
operation fast and simple. For even more intuitive control, a fader unit and transport controller is available as an option (RC-F82).

DR-680
Setting trim and volume levels
1. Press the PAUSE button. This puts the recorder into record/pause so you can hear the inputs.
2. Press the 1-6 buttons and MIX button to select which tracks will be recording.
3. Press the TRIM button to set the preamp gain. Press one of the 1-6 buttons and turn the value knob to change
gain. Gain is changed in 1/2 dB increments unless you press and hold the value knob.
4. Press the LEVEL and PAN buttons to set the mix in your headphones in the same way.
Tips and Tricks

Even though mic inputs 5 and 6 are 1/4 connectors, you can
still send phantom power to them. You just need to connect an
XLR-F to 1/4 balanced cable and switch on phantom power to
use a condenser microphone.
The front panel VALUE knob and top-panel DATA knob have different functions. The top panel controls set things like menus and
set-and-forget record settings. The front-panel controls are things
youre more likely to need while recording, like microphone trim
and setting markers. You can lock the top section of the DR-680
to avoid accidentally pressing one of the buttons. This is especially useful when using the recorder in a case, like the CS-DR680
pictured below.
TASCAM keeps a list of tested SD cards on the DR-680 web
page. As of February 2011, there are several 32GB cards that
have been tested in the unit made by from SanDisk, Lexar
and Panasonic.
There are two recording modes on the DR-680. Either you
can record six microphones and a stereo mixdown, or you
six microphones and a S/PDIF digital input. Either way, the
card captures a total of eight tracks.

US-1800
Included Software
The following is a five-minute demo of the TASCAM
US-1800 that shows the top selling features of the product.
Use this document as a selling script or training tool.
What is it?
The US-1800 is the best choice for musicians who need
a lot of inputs 16 in total:

8 XLR mic inputs with Phantom Power and

TASCAM Premium mic pres
6 balanced 1/4 TRS line inputs, two of them
selectable to guitar/bass level for recording direct
Stereo S/PDIF digital input and output
This makes the US-1800 a clear choice for musicians

in a band. In addition, the customer gets:

Four balanced line outputs

MIDI input and output
S/PDIF stereo digital in and out
1/4 headphone output
High-speed USB 2.0 connection to a computer
96kHz/24-bit support for all 16 inputs and 4 outputs
Zero-latency direct monitoring
Steinberg Cubase LE5 software
TASCAM includes Steinbergs Cubase LE5, the

latest version of their software. Far from just a
starter program, this recording powerhouse offers
48-tracks of 96kHz recording, automated mixdown,
64 MIDI tracks, a library of VST plug-ins and an
upgrade path to the full version of Cubase.
Qualifying the Customer
Software Support
The US-1800 supports Mac OS X as well as Windows XP,
Vista and Windows 7 computer systems. The Core Audio
and ASIO drivers support virtually all workstations:
Pro Tools 9, Cubase, Nuendo, SONAR, Digital Performer,
Logic Pro, Live, Final Cut Pro, Fruity Loops, and Reason
TASCAMs US-1800 is based on USB 2.0 technology,

which offers several advantages over FireWire technology:

20% higher bandwidth than FireWire 400

USB 2.0 found on all modern computers
Most new Macs have a FW800 connector, which
requires an adapter to use a FW400 interface
When a customer asks for a computer interface, the

first thing to do is to ask if they are recording themself (where a 2-in interface like the US-144mkII might
be sufficient) or recording a band or drum set.
You might also ask them about their computers
condition if a single 4-year old PC is being shared
among a whole family, maybe a stand-alone recorder
like the 2488neo could be a better choice.
When you decide that the customer needs more than
two inputs, theres no better value than the US-1800.
No other interface offers so many inputs at such a
great price.

DR-680
The DR-680 brings multi-channel portable recording within reach of any musician for polished live, location and
surround recordings. Up to eight tracks can be recorded to solid-state SD card media at 96kHz/24-bit Broadcast WAV
quality. Six mic inputs provide phantom power and 60dB of gain for great-sounding recordings with your condenser
microphones. Record the six microphones along with a digital S/PDIF source for 8 track recording. Each mic input has
a selectable low cut filter and analog limiter for optimal sound.
Inputs can be monitored using a built-in mixer with level and pan controls for each input. The stereo mixdown can
even be recorded along with the six mics for quick stereo playback of the event. Theres even a built-in speaker to
check recordings without headphones.
In addition to WAV recording up to 96kHz, the DR-680 captures stereo audio at 192kHz/24-bit for audiophile-quality
masters. MP3 multi-channel (file) recording for minutes recording (2 stereo or 4 mono files) will be equipped in future

The MH-8 is the ultimate headphone amplifier for studio,

stage and installation. Each of the eight stereo outputs
gets 250mW per side with three switchable sources
available. Two stereo inputs can be shared to any of the
outputs, and individual stereo direct inputs are available
for each of the eight channels. A headphone out can
select any one of these inputs, or mix several together.
A set of foldback outputs allow you to chain other MH-8s
into a system.
For the ultimate in routing flexibility and power, nothing
beats the MH-8 headphone amp from TASCAM.

Tascam US-144MKII
US-144MKII
USB 2.0 Four-channel Audio/MIDI Interface
The US-144MKII seamlessly continues the worldwide success of its predecessor US-144 offering better recording quality from a unit
further reduced in size. Since it doesnt require an additional power supply, this portable audio/MIDI interface is perfect for creating 4
channel recordings from analogue and digital sources with a laptop computer.
XLR microphone inputs with switchable phantom power and high-quality preamps are the basis for good-sounding recordings, while input
signals can be listened to by headphones with zero latency. Line-level and digital sources or an instrument can be connected as well. And
there are separate level controls for the line and headphones outputs, a mono switch, MIDI input and MIDI output, as well as a coaxial
SPDIF output.
The US-144MKII supports sample rates up to 96 kHz at 24-bit resolution. While commercial audio CDs are produced at 44.1 kHz/16
this interface offers you more than double the sample rate which means more detail for your recordings. (If youre fine with two audio
channels and you dont need a digital I/O, have a look at the Tascam US-122MKII.)
Main Features
Provides four audio inputs and four audio outputs (two

analogue, two digital) for a Windows or Macintosh
computer
Two XLR mic inputs
Switchable phantom power (48 volt)
High-quality, low-noise mic preamps

he PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2 is

a 16-channel (16x0x2) digital mixer
that is designed for live events, live
and studio recording, and corporate,
institutional, and other installations.
Channels 1-8 are monaural channels, and channels 9-16 are configured
as odd/even stereo pairs (Channels
9/10, 11/12, 13/14, and 15/16). Each
channel features an XLR mic input and
a high-headroom Class A XMAX mic
preamp, balanced line inputs, and
48V phantom power. Channels 13-16
also include an unbalanced RCA input.
Levels for Channels 1-8 are set with
dedicated 60 mm faders, while Channels 9-16 have one dedicated, 60 mm
level fader for each odd/even channel
pair (Channels 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, and
15/16). A stereo 60 mm fader controls
level for the main bus.
The StudioLive 16.0.2 has four aux
buses, each with a dedicated, 60 mm
level fader; a talkback section with Class
A preamp and phantom power; LED metering; mixer Scene save and recall; and
channel-strip save/recall/copy/paste. A
stereo, 31-band graphic EQ is available
on the Main output bus. Each channel
shall accept an input signal from the
FireWire 400 bus.
The mixers Monitor bus feeds the
Monitor and Headphone outputs. A Solo
in Place button is provided, and the
Cue bus is switchable between AFL and
PFL. The Solo and Main buses and Main
FireWire return can be monitored via the
Monitor outputs.
A single set of 16 multifunction

buttons controls Solo for Channels
1-8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, and 15/16
and for Aux Sends 1-4; controls Mute
for Channels 1-8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14,
and 15/16 and for Aux Sends 1-4; and
switches Channels 1-8, 9/10, 11/12,
13/14, and 15/16 between the analog
inputs and the FireWire inputs. The
active function of these multifunction
buttons is selected using a set of three
button switches.
All buttons on the mixing surface
glow gently when inactive and brightly
when selected for easy viewing in lowlight conditions. The mixer also offers a
12 VDC, BNC lamp socket.
Main outputs are on both XLR and
balanced jacks, and a full-range
XLR Mono output is provided. The Aux
Send and Monitor outputs are balanced
jacks.
The mixer incorporates a built-in
16x16 FireWire recording/playback
engine and has two FireWire 400 (IEEE
1394) ports. In addition to providing computer connectivity, the ports
permit pass-through for connecting a
hard drive, and they allow a StudioLive 16.0.2 to be daisy-chained with a
PreSonus FireStudio-series recording
interface, providing additional inputs for
computer recording.

The StudioLive 16.0.2s Fat Channel

processing section offers 3-band quasiparametric EQ (with high/low Q switch on
the mid band and switchable shelving on
the low and high bands) and a compressor, limiter, and downward expander
on every channel, every aux, and the
main bus. A high-pass filter is available
for each channel, aux and effects bus.
Phase reverse is provided for each channel. In addition, the Fat Channel provides
panning, main assigns, and sends to
each aux and effects bus. The Fat Channels 16-segment, multipurpose LED
meters display the levels of all 16 inputs,
post-gain and pre-dynamics, pre-EQ, and
pre-fader; the gain reduction for all 16
inputs; the post- dynamics, post-EQ, and
post-fader output level of each of the 4
Aux Sends and Main Bus; the amplitudes
of each band of the graphic EQ; the send
level for each channel to each aux; and
the pan position of each channel in a stereo linked Aux bus. Channels and Auxes
can be linked in stereo as odd-even pairs
(Ch. 1-2, 3-4, etc.), and a horizontal LED
Pan meter displays the pan position for
the selected channel or linked channels.
The Fat Channel is available anywhere
there is a blue Select button; when a Select button is fully lighted, the Fat Channel is active on that channel, aux, etc.
Time-based effects such as delay and
reverb are delivered by two stereo 32-bit
effects processors, which are assigned
to dedicated effects buses and come
with 50 user-editable factory presets
and 49 empty locations for user-created
presets. Both internal effects returns
can be directly patched to any of the
analog Aux buses. An LCD display
gives access to the effects parameters,
graphic EQ, Scene store/recall, channel
strip store/recall, and system settings.
The StudioLive 16.0.2 provides MIDI
In and Out jacks, acting as a MIDI interface for a computer and providing MIDI
control over the mixers main output level
and effects output levels, effects preset
recall, effects assignments to the main
bus, and global mixer Scene recall. MIDI
can also be sent and received over the
FireWire bus, enabling these features to
be controlled with a sequencer or DAW.
The StudioLive 16.0.2 can be rack
mounted (10U), using an optional rack
adapter. The mixer operates on 100240 VAC and employs a standard IEC
power connector.

panning, subgroup and main assigns;
sends to each aux and effects bus; and
phase reverse for each channel. The Fat
Channels 16-segment, multipurpose
LED meters offer 4 modes for visually
monitoring the levels of all 24 inputs:
post-gain and pre-dynamics and prefader; post-dynamics and post-fader;
the amount of gain reduction; or the
fader settings for a saved Scene. These
meters can also be used to display the
output volume of each of the 10 Aux
Sends and FX buses as well as the
boost/cut for each band of the graphic
EQ. Channels can be linked in stereo as
odd-even pairs (Ch. 1-2, 3-4, etc.), and
a horizontal LED Pan meter displays the
pan position for the selected channel or
linked channels. The Fat Channel can
be inserted anywhere there is a blue
Select button; when a Select button is
fully lighted, the Fat Channel is active
on that channel, aux, etc.
Time-based effects such as delay
and reverb are delivered by two stereo,
32-bit floating point effects processors,

each user to create an individual local
mix. The system is networked using
standard Fast Ethernet (100MBps)
switches. Depenfing on the switch type
the network can handle 512 audio
channels. Each unit has two local inputs
for microphone or line signals and a
stereo master output. myMix units are
automatically detected on the network identified by the names of each myMix
and their respective input
channels.myMix can select individual
audio channels from the network and
mix up to 16 channels, which can be
altered in volume, tone, panorama, and
mute. An internal effects unit with 6
reverb presets and an adjustable delay
can be added to each input signal. The
stereo output signal is available on
balanced 1/4 jacks and on a 3.5mm
headphone jack. A 4-band fully
parametric EQ can be used for the
output signal. All settings of the mixer
are automatically stored in profiles. The
Recording function allows the recording
of the local mix as well as the individual
network signals in multi-track as time
stamped 24-bit WAV file on an optional
SD/SDHC card. Recorded files are
stored in a session folder and can be
played back and remixed. myMix is
powered by the included external psu or
via POE (requires 15 W minimum per

IEX-16L
16 Channel Line Input Expander for myMix System
16 Balanced Line Level Inputs on two DB25 Connectors
Adds 16 Channels to myMix System in a 1U, 19-inch package
Independent Audio Channel Selection on every myMix unit
Convenient Signal Feed from a Mixing Console or External Microphone Pre-Amps
Individual Digital Gain Adjustment (0dB, +6dB, +12dB) per Input Channel
Can be combined with other myMix Input and Output devices
Configuration of IEX-16L from any myMix in the network or through the dedicated Configuration Port
Works with 100MBps Fast Ethernet Switches
Allows the Use of multiple IEX-16L with unlimited Audio Channels on Network*
Ethernet AVB ready (IEEE1722 protocol)
The IEX-16L is a 16-channel input expander for the myMix system. Equipped with two DB25 connectors, it allows the
connection of up to 16 balanced line-level signals that can be fed from devices such as mixing consoles or external
microphone pre-amps. IEX-16L and a single myMix unit can be connected without the need for a switch.
The IEX-16L can be configured through any myMix device on the network, including input channel naming and stereo linking.
IEX-16L inputs are available as named channels for every myMix in the network. Unused inputs can be disabled. The local
inputs on myMix units can be used in combination with the signals of any number of IEX-16L. If the total channel count is 16 (=
8 multicast pairs) or less a standard 100Mbs non-managed switch can be used. Each myMix can control a maximum of 16
channels by selecting 8 multicast pairs from available network channels, allowing the ability to tailor the unit to the specific
needs of each user. These pairs can be two dual mono, or one stereo signal. A network operating more than 16 audio
channels (8 multicast pairs) requires a switch that has IGMP snooping capabilities.
*The total number of audio channels on the network is dependent upon the capacity of the switch. Input signals are streamed in pairs as
multicast packets. A typical value is 256 multicast groups, which would allow 512 audio channels on the network.

AURUS - the Direct-Access Console

When designing AURUS, the main objective was to combine the instant
access of a conventional analogue desk with the congurability, exibility
and electro-acoustic characteristics of an advanced digital console. The
result was AURUS the Direct-Access Console. AURUS is a portable console optimized for broadcasting, theatres, sound reinforcement, recording,
and live use supporting clear and intuitive operation.
Unlike other digital console control paradigms, AURUS features a massive
number of physical controls providing direct access to all commonly used
audio parameters. Depending on the precise conguration, up to 300 audio
channels and 96 assignable channel control strips can be implemented.
of displays and indicators, optimum view to the studio, to video displays, or to the stage.
TFT colour displays with extended horizontal viewing angle.
Control Panels
Operating panels based on 8-channel strip grid.
AURUS is purely a control surface, all the audio processing and I/Os
are situated in remote NEXUS Base Devices.
Monitoring
N-1 System
AURUS provides multiple independent and interdependent monitoring

paths that fully support a variety of multichannel formats (including two
inserts for external cinema processors).
Main-monitoring paths: Control Room Monitor and Alternative Monitor
(multichannel-enabled).
Monitoring sources: In addition to the PFL and solo buses, virtually all
signals within the system are accessible (i.e. NEXUS inputs, channel
outputs, mixing buses, or direct outs).
This system allows for complex feeds to be simply achieved as required,

for example, at sports events or conferences.
The maximum number of 96 N-1 buses can be individually congured.
The off-air matrix can be congured separately.
Controls
Ofine-Editor
Enables the AURUS system to be congured even if the console is not
physically present.
All set-up operations including channel assignments, sum or group conguration, etc. are undertaken using this straightforward standalone
editor software running on a Windows PC. The results can be stored as
a project to a memory stick.
Dual-concentric encoders allow control of two independent parameters

with an additional switch, in the space normally occupied by one rotary.
The combination of dual-concentric encoders with dynamic multi coloured fan-shaped LED bargraphs and alpha-numeric TFT displays
allows for both analogue-style indication and a precise numerical view
of the parameter values. The OLED displays are also capable of producing Arabic, Chinese, or Cyrillic characters.
Audio Processing
AURUS provides for individual distribution of audio processing (DSP)
resources as required. These distribution setups can be stored as
mixing-console projects.
Digital audio processing with 40-bit oating-point arithmetic and the
superlative NEXUS routing system analogue modules guarantee impeccable sound quality in recording, mixdown, and sound-reinforcement
applications.
Wireless Channel-Expansion Unit
An AURUS system comprises the following components:

Main console for operating and controlling audio signal
processing
Secondary console (option)
Router-integrated audio DSP for digital audio
processing
Remote control units for the console (option)
NEXUS audio network handles different audio formats and provides
extensive signal distribution possibilities.
System components are interconnected using bre-optic cables that
transfer all control and audio data including talkback and monitoring
signals for the consoles.
High quality controls: Smooth yet precise 100-mm faders, soft-step

dual-concentric encoders with integral button, and exclusively
low-noise, short-travel buttons with perceptible click, TFT and OLED
displays, multicoloured fan-shaped LED bargraphs, and high-resolution
TFT screens, etc.
Direct routing of buses to outputs without signal processing is also possible, for example, to conserve resources.
AURUS allows direct monitoring of specic processing modules output
signals within the channel.
AURUS is the rst mixing-console system to allow for simultaneous
mixdown in multiple multichannel formats.
This small portable remote-control unit connects over WLAN to the

AURUS. It adds 16 channel strips to the console and displays selected
console-interface areas, allowing for controlling faders, encoders, and
key functions and viewing the channel-strip displays and indicators.
The settings made on the tablet PC can be stored on the AURUS console.
Conguration
Audio Processor
The mixing-console structure is freely congurable (for example the

distribution of channels and buses or the assignment of audio channels
to channel control strips).
Thanks to this concept, the AURUS may (and usually will) have less control strips than audio channels.
Contains all the audio-processing components, the I/O-routing devices

and the NEXUS bre-optic or MADI audio interface modules that connect to the outside world.
Space-saving dual-concentric encoders are an innovation. Immediate

visual feedback of the audio parameter being adjusted is provided by dual
LED arc indicators or digital displays. The predetermined association of
encoders to parameters considerably simplies operation for new users;
the console literally has an intuitive feel.
AURUS Virtual Surface is a software programme running on a tablet PC

featuring a touch-sensitive screen.
True multichannel capabilities including monitoring, along with various

types of mixing desk automation, are standard features. Designed into the
heart of the system is the ability to use two fully-edged consoles with
separate project handling in one common audio network.
The meter bridges are constructed with precision hires TFT colour displays switchable between a variety of metering modes. Fur thermore, these
displays are also used for detailed views of audio-parameters and for conguring the console.
The use of NEXUS makes the excellent Stage Tec analogue-interface
components available to the AURUS. Therefore AURUS has direct access to
all the desirable NEXUS features such as outstanding converters, diversity
of digital formats and the extensive application opportunities afforded by a
digital audio network. If all this isnt enough, multiple AURUS consoles can
coexist within a single NEXUS network.

Synchronisation
Quality Characteristics
All NEXUS Base Devices and AURUS audio processors in the overall
system synchronise to a common clock source.
The NEXUS controller boards (XCPU, RCX) are tted with precision WCL
generators and can be used as studio master clock.
At sync-source failure, the overall system automatically switches to a
different source; if no valid external source is available, internal synchronisation is enabled.
AURUS is a perfect t in OB trucks and live applications. The principle

reasons for this are low console weight, the extremely compact audio
processor, the scalable routing matrix, and low power consumption,
resulting in low heat dissipation.
AURUS is easily adapted to a variety of applications, simply because of
its freely congurable channel and mix buses and a channel structure
that can be altered at virtually any time.
The AURUS and NEXUS modular concept supports truly customized
hardware congurations. If required, the system can be expanded with
special options.
Consistent use of bre-optic cables simplies installation. The system
is insusceptible to electromagnetic interference and ground-loops.
Freely Congurable Controls

Frequently performed control tasks in studio operation (e.g. pause
gongs, signalling, curtains, precongured sequence control, etc.) can
be dened using the exible and freely programmable control logic.

CRESCENDO
CRESCENDO in Brief
From the functionality and feature-set point of view the CRESCENDO mixing
console sits in between the AURUS and AURATUS. The console is a response
to the increased demand for slimmed down user interfaces with reduced
feature sets.
CRESCENDO is freely congurable both in respect to the number of channels and the number of buses. Congurations of up to 300 audio channels
and 128 summing buses are supported.
The number of mono, stereo, and 5.1 sums as well as stereo and 5.1 inputchannel linking are also freely congurable. Up to 96 aux or N1 (mix-minus)
buses can be dened. For example, this would allow for up to 96 separate
monitor mixes to be congured for a live show.
The CRESCENDO offers extensive snapshot and scene automation. This
functionality makes it the ideal solution for use in theatre applications.
The CRESCENDO console is available in various sizes with up to 48 channel strips and a master section. The control sur face operating depth of
625 mm, allows the CRESCENDO to be accommodated in smaller studios
without problems.
The function view on the channel display was redeveloped from scratch
for the CRESCENDO console specically. This now provides an excellent
over view of the status of the large
num ber of free ly con fig ur able
sends.
The central TFT display of fers
2 48 additional meters, so called
Free Meters. These are freely
assignable to any bus signal, AUX
etc. thus ensuring optimal monitoring.
In addition to concur rent
stereo output of 5.1 signals, the
con sole of fers a config ur able
downmix matrix. EQ and dynamic
settings are displayed graphically.
CRESCENDO mixing-console systems offer the following standard

features:
The CRESCENDO uses the

AURUS audio hardware, i.e. it is
actually an operating and control
surface connected to a NEXUS
STAR audio router. The STAR hosts
up to seven DSP boards (6-U plugin boards) plus a controller board
per console. The CRESCENDO and
the STAR router are interconnected by optical bre.
The NEXUS offers extensive
routing capacity (4,096 4,096 crosspoints) and can be equipped with
MADI and/or optical interface boards to provide connections to studio gear
directly or to NEXUS Base Devices.
Inside the NEXUS STAR the CRESCENDO RMD mixing boards have
access to all desired NEXUS inputs and outputs via the star-topology bus
structure.
For storing project congurations and automation data a PC, integrated
into the console, can be connected to the CRESCENDO RMC board.
CRESCENDO features a sophisticated auto-backup system which is activated in case of power failure: The console will restore the last status prior
to power failure and will be operable again in just a few seconds.
Projects can also be stored locally on the console to avoid data loss in
case the PC fails.

6 dual encoders on each channel strip for optimum instant access Simple intuitive
operation 96-KHz enabled Simultaneous stereo and 5.1 mixdown Superior
signal processing with 40-bit oating-point arithmetic Fully integrated into
the NEXUS audio network
AURATUS
The AURATUS is the fourth member of Stage Tecs family of digital mixing
consoles after the CANTUS, the CINETRA, and the AURUS. Compared with
its predecessors, the new console offers an extremely compact form factor
together with streamlined functionality. The basic idea behind the AURATUS
was to design a compact digital console that could be used in predened
workows in radio and TV production. Therefore, the AURATUS features not
only a hardwired bus layout but also a user interface optimised for quick and
simple operation. This ensures that even inexperienced users or self-drive
programme editors are assured a shallow learning curve and secure operation. All critical audio-channel parameters can simply be set using the dual
encoders on the channel strip familiar from the AURUS, or from the master
section.
The AURATUS offers many more features designed specically for the
broadcaster. Convenient audio-follow-video functions, a remote-controlled
fader (on/off) functionality, two freely assignable function keys per channel,
extensive cue-light signalling, eight separately congurable N-1 buses, and
two timers capable of counting down as well as up.
There is clearly a close resemblance to the AURUS. The Direct Access
Console was denitely the inspiration for the AURATUS design. This can be
seen clearly in its exceptionally at and compact design and inclusion of the
proven dual encoders and arc indicators.
Like all Stage Tec consoles, the AURATUS uses the NEXUS as an I/O
and routing unit. This, and the proven Stage Tec signal-processing features,
guarantees the legendary superior sound quality. AURATUS only requires
a single standard Base Device that houses the AURATUS plug-in board as
well as the console I/Os. This Base Device also acts as the connection to
the NEXUS audio network.

AURATUS
The AURATUS is the fourth member of Stage Tecs family of digital mixing
consoles after the CANTUS, the CINETRA, and the AURUS. Compared with
its predecessors, the new console offers an extremely compact form factor
together with streamlined functionality. The basic idea behind the AURATUS
was to design a compact digital console that could be used in predened
workows in radio and TV production. Therefore, the AURATUS features not
only a hardwired bus layout but also a user interface optimised for quick and
simple operation. This ensures that even inexperienced users or self-drive
programme editors are assured a shallow learning curve and secure operation. All critical audio-channel parameters can simply be set using the dual
encoders on the channel strip familiar from the AURUS, or from the master
section.
The AURATUS offers many more features designed specically for the
broadcaster. Convenient audio-follow-video functions, a remote-controlled
fader (on/off) functionality, two freely assignable function keys per channel,
extensive cue-light signalling, eight separately congurable N-1 buses, and
two timers capable of counting down as well as up.
There is clearly a close resemblance to the AURUS. The Direct Access
Console was denitely the inspiration for the AURATUS design. This can be
seen clearly in its exceptionally at and compact design and inclusion of the
proven dual encoders and arc indicators.
Like all Stage Tec consoles, the AURATUS uses the NEXUS as an I/O
and routing unit. This, and the proven Stage Tec signal-processing features,
guarantees the legendary superior sound quality. AURATUS only requires
a single standard Base Device that houses the AURATUS plug-in board as
well as the console I/Os. This Base Device also acts as the connection to
the NEXUS audio network.

SYSTEM SOFTWARE
TOUCH OPERATION
As no audio is processed in the PC , reliability

and continuity is guaranteed. User sets are
stored on an SD-card.
User setups (snapshots) can be loaded
from the GUI.
Monitoring & Snapshots

All the modules can be visualised and operated remotely on a PC controlled via
a touch TFT-screen. Customised screens can be created to provide operator
support, remote control and servicing. In addition to displaying installed panels,
the software can emulate panels that are not physically installed.
Getting started is easy: The GUI-software runs on any state-of-the-art
PC linked via Ethernet to the new TREM controller unit mounted in the
system frame. Once setup and running, the GUI simulates all the control
elements, so operators have full access to every control that is found
on the hardware consoles control surface including all metering, faders
and encoders. The result is a new found freedom of choice regarding
how big or small the physical control surface will be and how it will be
populated. Even a minimum desktop layout with just four channel strips,
two encoders and some buttons can have the full power of the ON AIR
24 console in the background.

NEXUS CONCEPT
NEXUS
Fiber-optic connections and power supplies are redundant. All module

boards can be hot swapped.
NEXUS is a distributed audio network. Networking several NEXUS

base devices with the help of fiber-optic connections or introducing
the NEXUS STAR allows routing of up to 4096x4096 signals.
Cascading multiple STARs results in an almost unlimited highly efficient
routing capacity with minimal wiring and maximum redundancy. Full system start up and reboot after power failure within a few seconds = audio
in network.
In addition to audio, the system distributes and generates various
serial formats such as RS232, RS422, RS485, MIDI, DMX, LTC and
machine control. This capability is especially valuable for simplifying
installations and giving control connections same the protection of
NEXUS resilience and redundancy as the audio.
Multiple control PCs can be connected to the NEXUS router and if needed,
set up as an Admin/Users network with user rights. PCs only needed for
configuration, no audio processing.
The system performs the required format conversion on the fly.
ON AIR 24 NEXUS COMPONENTS
The On Air 24 has a 19/1U interface core that connects directly to the Nexus XCMC, a combined DSP and
control card. Nexus provides the TDM routing and all the I/O in a
single or fiber networked racks.
The interface core provides I/O at the desk position for headphones, nearfield speakers and metering. It also provides the
interfacing hardware for the direct connection of a touchscreen
interface.

NEXUS BASE DEVICES

NEXUS base devices are 19 frames and range from 1 to 15 units
in height. Each 3U row is equipped with an active NEXUS backplane
and accommodates up to 20 plug-in boards while a 9U has a capacity
of 60 boards.
Each base device is equipped with an XCPU controller board for complete autonomy. Thus, the availability of basic functionality is assured
regardless of the presence or absence of optical lines and control
computers.
The NEXUS can also be used as an I/O router for STAGETEC mixingconsole systems. Multiple console systems can coexist on a single
NEXUS network.
All NEXUS inputs, outputs, and processing channels can be accessed
and operated from anywhere on the routing system. In the control
program, a single crosspoint simply connects an input to an output
it is up to the system to establish the most effective connection on
the base device network.

CONTROL SURFACE
The STAGETEC ON AIR 24 is simply a control surface plus talkback, monitoring and metering. Audio processing is performed on the XCMC slide-in
board accommodated in a NEXUS base device.
PROJECTS AND AUTOMATION

The ON AIR 24 is controlled by a global set of data, which is called
a project. This project encompasses the entire working environment: all data to control the console surface, the switching
status of the inputs and outputs, the input and output parameters,
assignment of the audio channels to the consoles fader channels,
audio processing setup as well as 99 snapshots. Therefore a project
contains all the data for a ready-to-use-console configuration. The
project file can be stored on a memory card. This enables the project to be used for future sessions and also enables projects to be
changed quickly and easily. Thanks to the reasonable price of SD
cards it is also a good medium for archiving project data.

Digital Audio Routing and Interconnect System
NEXUS - Digital Audio Routing &

Interconnect System
NEXUS is an audio network and a router at the same time. It also provides
for audio format conversion, A/D and D/A conversion, audio processing,
data transmission, loudness metering, control interfaces, multichannel
metering, amplier control, intercom, logical functions, and much more
The basic NEXUS principle: Fibre-optic links transfer all audio and control information in a digital format. NEXUS Base Devices are installed in
studios, in control rooms, and on stages. These Base Devices provide the
inputs and outputs required in the appropriate format via standard connectors. Using a convenient GUI any number of inputs can be routed to the
desired outputs the physical location of the input and output resource
and the format is irrelevant.
SDI
The XHDI 02 slide-in board provides an SDI interface and supports SD, HD
and HD-3 G video formats. The board receives, generates and processes
synchronous and asynchronous audio signals transported in a digital
serial video stream. The following specications have been implemented:
SMPTE 259M (SD), SMPTE 292M (HD), and SMPTE 424M/425M (3 G).
The XHDI 02 embeds and de-embeds metadata streams used mainly
during transport and processing of multichannel audio signals.
Use in combination with Stage Tecs Dolby E enabled components
allows for de-embedding and decoding Dolby E signals from an SDI
stream, processing them in the NEXUS, and nally re-embedding them
into the SDI stream. This is also supported for SDI signals clocked asynchronously. The XHDI 02 is also capable of compensating for the latency
intrinsic to Dolby E decoding and encoding using a video delay of 0-15
frames (SD) or 0-8 frames (HD/3 G).
Loudness Metering
Stage Tec is an active participant in the development of EBU R128- compliant
loudness metering. Latest-generation CPU boards for the NEXUS system
(XCPU 09) implement three different metering methods on the NEXUS
directly: Momentar y loudness with an integration time of 400 ms, Shortterm loudness with an integration time of 3 s and Integrated loudness
with custom integration time, using a gating function.
Analogue Audio
The XAD+, and XDA+ 8-channel analogue line-I/O boards offer an
exceptional dy namic range of 133 dB (A) and 131 dB (A), respectively.
Furthermore, the XMIC+ 32-bit microphone-input board achieves an
impressive 158 dB (A). The XMIC+ inputs can also be used as line inputs
without switching. This means that microphone clipping, or even microphone-gain adjustment, is now a thing of the past! The XMIC+ can be used
either in the classical way with a single digital output, or as a splitter with
up to four independent outputs per microphone input.
In just 4 HP, the HXAD and HXDA boards make available eight analogue
stereo inputs and outputs, respectively, via D-sub or RJ45 ports! Both converters are designed for maximum analogue levels of up to 15 dBu and are
suitable mainly for permanent installations.
Digital Audio
A wide range of interface boards is available for various digital audio formats. The boards convert audio and ancillary data to the NEXUS 24-bit
TDM format and are also be equipped with sample-rate converters for connecting asynchronous devices. The interface boards have been ofcially
certied for Dolby E signal transmission by Dolby Labs.
Audio Conversion
The NEXUS routing and transmission features also include other signals.
Dif ferent serial formats (RS 232, RS 422, RS 485, MIDI, DMX, LTC, etc.) and
control signals for external devices (e.g. amplier control, light control and
machine control) are generated and distributed.
All audio boards read and write the 24-bit audio format used on the internal
TDM bus. Therefore input audio of any type can be routed to any of the
NEXUS audio outputs. Thus, when using a NEXUS, complex and costly
format conversion ceases to be an issue.
Signal routing does not require signal-processor boards. However,
NEXUS DSP boards are available for whenever signal processing is needed.
Signals can be routed to DSP boards at any point with all the important
control elements for EQ, delay, dynamics, faders, etc..
Dolby E
Reliability
Dolby E signals are routed transparently and can also be processed discreetly on the NEXUS audio network. I/O interfaces to the NEXUS include
AES/EBU, MADI and SDI formats.
Stage Tec offers two Dolby E boards that allow for discreet processing
of Dolby E audio. The XDED decoder board decodes a Dolby E stream
and extracts the separate channels and forwards them to the NEXUS system as discrete audio signals. Asynchronous input signals can also be
decoded. The XDEE encoder board encodes up to eight discrete audio
signals from the NEXUS system in compliance with the Dolby E encoding
specications. Both boards use original Dolby Labs OEM modules.
Reliable operation is a core feature of the NEXUS. Systems can be congured with a high level of redundancy, and every Base Device includes
a dedicated controller board. The concept of distributed intelligence
prevents total failure in case of malfunction. Defects are immediately
indicated by the graphical alert system. Single boards can be replaced
during operation without affecting other system components (hot-swap
capability). Every board is available on the system within a few seconds
af ter installation.

The Digital All-Rounder
Innovation Makes The World A Safer Place

PANTURA is an intelligent P.A. system that has been designed for a variety of
applications including paging, public address, control, monitoring and emergency
alert systems. It is user-friendly, scalable and packed with innovative and functional
solutions regarding safety.
PANTURA Is Used Wherever

people gather in public places and venues such as shopping malls, schools, subway
stations, and arenas. PANTURA facilitates communication and provides information
and background music making it invaluable for public address applications.
Yet, PANTURA does more than just make everyday life more pleasant. One of its
main fortes is that it is a vital link to ensuring the safety of all people on the premises.
Urgent announcements, emergency calls and - in the event of clear and present
danger - evacuation calls will be broadcast to every corner of the premises.
Safety Guaranteed In Compliance With EN 60849

An evacuation system is the one element that must never break down, because
the safety of all people on the premises depends on it. PANTURA incorporates the
latest safety standards specified by EN 60849, and already complies with the
planned European EN 54-16 product directive.

System Overview
A simple system architecture with variable options was the main target of the developmentdepartment for the PANTURA voice alarm system.
The two basic components, the System Controller and the Speaker Matrix, allow users to design
a system that is tailored to their specific needs and applications. Anything is possible - from a
cost-effective solution to a fully redundant system architecture.
A Distinctive Feature: Paging Signals

are pre amplified before being routed dynamically to the various

speaker lines. For each announcement and each signal transfer to

the speaker lines, the system calculates the power required to

100V technology.
This keeps the investment and operating cost down, because fewer
amps occupy less space and generate less heat thus reducing

cooling requirements.
Another advantage of the dynamic power allocation approach is
System Architecture
that possible failures are of no consequence to the systems overall

reliability. No backup power amps are needed for multichannel
applications.
Central Components
As the main control unit, the System Controller is in charge of a
multitude of functions. Supplied with a digital voice memory
(up to 46 minutes), a single System Controller can connect up to 12
paging stations and four external audio sources, and to transmit up
to four call signals to the power amplifiers. In addition, the System
PANTURA System Controller
Controller is fitted with a line-level output to which an active speaker

system can be connected. This effectively acts as an additional and
separate line.
Error messages trigger an acoustic signal and appear on the System
Controllers display, as well as triggered a warning signal on the
paging station. All error messages are logged and can be printed
out for reference. The System Controller takes care of distributing
the system time and comes with an internal calendar for time-based
trigger functions.
The Speaker Matrix transmits all amplified signals to the required
speaker lines. Each Speaker Matrix can manage up to 32 lines.
Thus combining several Speaker Matrix modules with a System
Controller is all it takes to create a system to the customers

Small Footprint - Huge Possibilities

For Schools: Setup Of A Typical Announcement
And Emergency Paging System
Countless classrooms, a teachers lounge, a school hall, a gym, the schoolyard school installations require quite a few paging areas. Most institutions typically
require up to 40 zones to which general paging signals, the chime signal,
emergency announcements and individual calls are transmitted.
Thanks to PANTURA, all of these possibilities can be provided by a single
System Controller, two Speaker Matrix modules and two power amplifiers. In most
instances, the system can even use the available cabling and speaker network.
This affordable and compact solution provides permanent system monitoring
functions and even a redundant mode in the event of a component error.
In the event of an emergency, the fire alarm center will automatically be
assigned the highest priority to make emergency calls, and automatic system
wide announcements will be generated.
School Application
1-channel system with redundant power amplifier
System components:
Calendar Functions And Auxiliary Clocks
1x System Controller PCT 622L
The onboard calendar function can be used for repeated triggering of
2x Speaker Matrix PMT 32
a requested function at specific times, or according to a long term
2x power amplifiers/1x redundant power amp
schedule. Each individual calendar entry will be triggered at exactly the
64 speaker lines
required time. The most likely uses for this functionality are the school
chime and relay switching for external control.
Fitted with eight schedule lists, with up to 100 individual dates, the
calendar can be pre-programmed up to four years in advance. This is
particularly useful should you not want the school bell to chime during
school holidays.
You can also connect auxiliary clocks to
a PANTURA System Controller as well as
synchronize it with a DCF or GPS signal if
required.
Voice Intelligibility Is Essential For A Fail-Safe Evacuation System

and PANTURAs audio quality is such that this system delivers clear and excellent quality during
everyday use. Other high quality uses include background music in the gym, music during school
festivities as well as timer based recurring voice messages.
Huge Voice Memory

A non-volatile Flash memory with a capacity of up to 46 audio minutes is available for announcements, evacuation messages and chimes. Four separate audio channels can be played back simultaneously, with each channel accessing any desired signal of the common audio pool. And again,
safety takes centre stage, because the voice memory is monitored in compliance with EN 60849.
Whats more: these functions come as standard on the PANTURA system, making it ideal for
hospitals, administration buildings, theatre halls, retirement homes, etc. It is, quite simply, the perfect
system for any straightforward or intricately networked application.

Comprehensive Emergency Management

Each time an automatic fire detection system reports an alarm, the System Controller activates an
emergency input. The PANTURA system provides a variety of emergency control options. Users can
prepare various chimes and warning messages for different emergency paging areas.
Silent Alarm/Verification
If the building includes a manned control station, an automatic alarm signal may first generate a
silent alarm. This allows the operator to verify the emergency and to initiate or abort the evacuation
procedure. If an evacuation is neither manually initiated, nor aborted, it will be triggered automatically
at the end of the verification time.
Triggering An Early Warning In Adjacent Areas
Whenever an evacuation procedure is initiated for a specific area, an early warning can be transmitted to the neighboring areas if required. The signal distribution for such early warnings can be
programmed using the adjacent area list.
It is always advisable to a have a log printer attached as it will log the date and time of the silent
alarm, an evacuation alarm and the abortion of the emergency situation.
Pantura
Big And Flexible
One of PANTURAs main features is its scalability. Simply by cascading basic

modules, users can configure complex systems perfectly adapted to the requirements
of for example shopping malls and office sites spread over several buildings, for
anything to do with announcements, public address and emergency paging.
Up to 30 Speaker Matrix modules, for a total of 240 areas, can be managed by a
single System Controller.
So How Big Were You Thinking?

There is one other important aspect besides the overall system size: the number of
signals to be transmitted simultaneously. In small-scale systems, two concurrent
signals are in most cases sufficient, yet the bigger the premises, the more people
there are that need to be reached. The PANTURA series caters for these requirements with two types of System Controllers: the PCT 622 for six paging stations, two
audio inputs and two simultaneous signals; and the PCT 1244 with twice that number.
Redundant Network
In large, decentralized systems, two System Controllers
can be linked to a global system via fiber optic cables.

entire system. Such a system can handle up to 24 paging

stations, eight simultaneous signals and up to 480 different
areas!
Two Independent Configuration Memories
zone 1-16
offices
The System Controller has two independent memory

banks where configuration data, programs and audio
tracks are stored. This system allows users to upload new
configuration data without disrupting the systems operation, with the liberty to switch to the new configuration
as and when necessary. Another advantage of this dual
bank system is that users can easily revert to the previous
configuration.

Permanent Monitoring For Absolute Safety

An emergency system needs to monitor the status of both the external signal lines and its internal
signal processors and lines. Only such a stringent watchdog system ensures that each and every
signal reaches the area it is meant for, no matter what. PANTURAs systems monitoring functionality
is based on a 20kHz pilot signal.
In compliance with EN 60849, the following components are monitored on a permanent basis:
Speaker lines with impedance/earth leakage measurements
Short circuited speaker lines are shut off
Paging stations (with onboard speakers) by means of acoustic microphone monitoring
Digital audio signal path
Control path
Storage media (like text memory)
Program flow (via watchdog circuits)
Status monitoring of the power amplifiers with automatic redundancy switching
External error signal inputs
All monitoring functions are carried out irrespective of whether or not a signal is being transmitted at
the time of measurement.

Dynamic Power Management And Redundancy

The System Controller knows the output power of all power amplifiers and the power requirements of each and every line. This
allows it to control the routing of multi-channel systems to ensure
that all lines remain accessible even when no power amplifier can
drive all lines simultaneously. At the same time, the system takes
care of bypassing defective amplifiers.
Need A Cost-Effective System With Redundancy?

PANTURAs system redundancy can be customized for each
installation, depending on the requirements. This may include
the amplifier power and network integrity - or even double wiring
throughout the premises. A multi-channel PANTURA system
can provide absolute reliability without the need for additional
redundant power amplifiers!
Additional standard safety measures include the full time monitoring of all system components inclusive of all speaker lines.
Emergency Circuit
Four control inputs on the PMT 32 Matrix units allow users to
switch the line relays in groups of eight from an external device.
This is even supported when both the System Controller and the
Matrix unit are down.
A trigger on the incoming hardware controlled emergency bypass
line is given the highest priority. Well ahead of any priority
hierarchy programmed using the software.
If necessary, an external emergency microphone can be routed
to all lines in order to evacuate all areas should the Controller be
offline.
PANTURA complies with safety level 3 of the German
VDE 0833-4 spec.
Errors Are Immediately Discernable,

because they are indicated in several ways: on the System
Controllers display, via a key on the paging station, via an external relay and by a log printer. Of course, any failure that may occur
is also indicated by means of an acoustic signal. This allows the
operator to repair or replace the defective module or connection
in minimal time.

Stage Tec in Japan Just a few months after
the World Championship in Athletics 2007 one
of the most popular radio stations on Japans
mainland, FM 802, opened four new on-air
and production studios. Each studio is lavishly
equipped with an AURUS console. Although
this was quite a novelty since it was the rst
AURUS installation at a Japanese radio station
the operator already knew that the console
would meet all reliability, artistic and exibility
requirements as well as providing technical perfection. Many years of positive experience with
the mixing console in other Japanese installations, for example at the New National Theatre
in Tokyo, the iMedio Media Centre in Osaka,
and Japans largest private TV company Fuji TV,
had already spread the fame of Stage Tec systems in Japan.
At the Prefectural Culture Centre in Ibaraki
an AURUS and NEXUS has recently been
installed for a completely different application,
live sound reinforcement. A main console, plus
a por table slave desk for studio and FOH use,
integrated into a NEXUS network is supporting
the manifold events held in the Culture Centre.
One main focus of the system design was the
mobile NEXUS Base Devices used as stage
boxes, which provide rst-class microphone
inputs.
RTM staff with AURUS, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
AURUS and AURATUS in Malaysia Radio Television Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur have altered
their broadcasting centre: Two existing AURUS
consoles have moved to new studios; the gaps
they left behind were lled with two AURATUS
desks. Thanks to the compact and clearly
arranged digital consoles, news features can
now be produced even faster than before. In
addition, the new consoles are real spacesavers in these small, cramped news and liverecording studios.
Just a few months before, RTM took delivery
of Malaysias largest AURUS. This console is
used for recording and all kinds of events in the
big Auditorium Perdana.

the skills of the present staff for all three media

types, particularly at smaller sites.
However, a tri-media studio requires different systems to traditional studios. This is
because a single operator must be familiar with
all three types of media. For example, an interview might be broadcast on TV and on radio.
Moreover, a feature might be put online initially; later, it may grow to become a TV report
due to the high level of user interest. This
exibility can only be achieved if the required
technical prerequisites are met. Not forgetting
that the studio also has to be straightforward
to operate.
AURATUS in use at WDR TV, Siegen, Germany
In Siegen, WDR established a TV studio and

a radio studio, both including a control room;
however, the assignment of studios to control
rooms is not xed. The radio studio, which is
actually a usefully large talks studio, can also
be used in combination with a third control
room, the so-called bi-media BIM control room.
For this purpose the studio table, including all
the installed kit, can be revolved. This gives eye
contact through the BIM control-room window.
A small additional voice cubicle is available for
dubbing or news reading tasks.
Of course, the audio network also reects
this exibility. Each of the three control rooms
is equipped with a 24-fader AURATUS and
accesses a common NEXUS network consistAURATUS in use at WDR TV, Siegen, Germany
ing of ve Base Devices. Each control room is

assigned one Base Device of its own, which
also accommodates the AURATUS processor
board. The remaining Base Devices are used as
net work nodes and are therefore linked to all
other Base Devices. In addition, they provide
inter faces to all the important station signals
such as external lines and codecs.
Thanks to the NEXUS extensive logic operations, the radio studio can be rapidly assigned
to the BIM control room. During normal operation, the studio microphones are connected
to the XMIC boards in the in the radio studio
control room NEXUS and are routed to the corresponding AURATUS. As soon as the radio studio is assigned to the BIM control room, those
sources and the return paths are automatically
delegated to the AURATUS in the BIM control
room. Red-light and yellow signalling control is
also reassigned.
This entirely new concept of variable control-room and studio utilisation is an example
of true pioneering spirit. Based on their technical concept and the combination of NEXUS and
AURATUS, WDR have created a solution that,
due to its exibility, allows for virtually any type
of utilization in the future.

The technical advantages of the AURATUS

RTL requirement. Since all the studios will be
equipped with u-shaped furniture, RTL wanted
its new mixing desks to adapt to this form. This
could not be easier for the modular AURATUS:

1,300 signal sources to any of the 2,300 destinations. Nowadays, the NEXUS STAR approach
is far more elegant and compact: The router
accommodates up to 16 slot-in boards with
256 inputs and 256 outputs each. This allows
for routing a maximum of 4,096 inputs to 4,096
outputs, resulting in more than 16 million crosspoints.
And if even this huge routing capacity is
insuf cient, multiple NEXUS STAR units can
be cascaded. The inputs can be routed freely
to any of the outputs, so point-to-point lines
as well as point-to-multipoint sets can be
created.

Various requirements were imposed on the

complex at Stuttgart: It had to be adaptable
to the most diverse production demands, it
should be capable of being operated quickly

be absolutely reliable. However, thanks to the
freely congurable CANTUS/NEXUS system,
the installation was completed in record time
and still met all the requirements!

event has been held every spring and in recent

years it has been regularly recorded and broadcast by Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR). For the last
four years, a NEXUS audio network has supported the event by interconnecting the stage,
the FOH mixer, and the BR OB truck. In 2008,
the conguration was complemented by a touring AURUS console in the FOH role, using special heavy-duty bre, plus a TRIAGON console
used as monitor mixer, thus assuring excellent
sound at the main venue in the Wackerhalle.
In addition the attendant NEXUS on one hand
acted as a stage box for hooking up microphones and on the other also distributed all

OB Trucks
A NEXUS audio network with four stationary
and three mobile Base Devices is also part of
the truck's inventory. All intercom units connect directly to the system via the NEXUS, so
no extra cabling is required.
For maximum reliability, the audio network
has been designed with a high degree of redundancy. All NEXUS Base Devices are equipped
with backup power supplies and cabled via
double optical interfaces. This ensures uninter rupted operation even in case of broken cabling

The choice of NEXUS is the rst step in
moving on from using copper multicore cable
to the latest user friendly bre optic technology. The use of bre optics for multichannel
audio reduces rigging times and thus delivers
signicant operational cost savings. A second
aspect, particularly critical on OB vehicles, is
the weight savings compared with traditional
copper cabling. In addition, optical bres totally
eliminate hum caused by ground loops.
In addition to the points mentioned, other
aspects such as reliability and expandability
made the BBC opt for a NEXUS. All main lines
are run redundantly. If a line failed for any reason, the NEXUS would automatically switch to
the corresponding backup line.

Bayerischer Rundfunk, Munich, Germany

The BR broadcasting service commissioned
SALZBRENNER STAGETEC MEDIAGROUP to
carry out the expansion of the entire audio
equipment on their OB vehicles. The previous
successful co-operation in 2002 when the audio control room of the Herkulessaal in Munich
was completely modernised was a decisive factor in the decision. Audio routing on the radio
and TV OB vehicles is based on a NEXUS system with almost 800 inputs and outputs and
has no extra patchbays.
OB Truck WDR TV, Cologne, Germany
Other requirements included hot-swap capabilities for console hardware and redundancy
on the audio network. Finally, weight is a critical factor when it comes to OB vehicles. For
the hd8, only 800 kg was allowed for the audio
equipment. No problem for AURUS and NEXUS
thanks to their compact size, they are lightweight units. In addition, AURUS needs only
limited cooling, so the existing air-conditioning
system did not require expansion.
A key factor for opting for AURUS and
NEXUS were the convenient SDI and HD-SDI
boards. So about half of the embedders and
de- embedders existing on the truck are now
provided by the NEXUS system.
A specialty about our OB trucks is the
fundamental wiring concept, says RTBF's
strategics projects & TV outside-broadcasting
manager Alain Ausloos about the difference to
conventional vehicles. Whether video or audio:
All signals are transmitted from the trucks over
optical multicore lines. This was a major advantage of AURUS and NEXUS because optical
transmission is a standard feature.
Intercom signals, too, can be forwarded
transparently via the NEXUS, so subscriber
units do not require dedicated lines. And this
is not where integration of the intercom system

Live Events
NEXUS Does Magic with the Witches of Oz
In March 2009, the musical Wicked will go
on big American tour accompanied by a big
NEXUS. Wicked is a large, internationally
acclaimed US production with about 15 million
spectators since its debut in 2005. In Germany,
it was staged as Wicked Die Hexen von Oz
in Stuttgart. Five NEXUS Base Devices and a
NEXUS STAR core router make up the new and
completely digital audio network for Wicked.
The NEXUS provides interfaces for the more
than 75 wireless and wired microphones and
is also used for handling all other I/Os as well
as MIDI and GPI signals.
On Air with the AURUS Classical music is
booming. This is especially true when top-class
orchestras like the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra per form on stage. To meet the international
demand of their supporters and fans for live
shows, the Philharmonic Orchestra initiated a
new feature starting on 6 January 2009: The
digital concert hall offers live broadcasts
of concerts over the internet and in immaculate HD quality. The start of this project was
a special performance of Antonn Dvorks
Slavonic dance in G minor and the rst symphony by Johannes Brahms, conducted by Sir
Simon Rattle. The broadcast signal was mixed
and delivered on an AURATUS console in the
new orchestra-owned broadcasting studio 6.
The Philharmonic Orchestra audio engineers
are familiar with STAGETEC audio systems: A
comprehensively congured AURUS with the
accompanying NEXUS network has been in use
in studio 3 since 2006. The customer opted for
an AURUS not least because of the perfect integration into the existing system, says planning
engineer Stefan Ludewig who supervised the
project for STAGETEC.
AURUS: Best for Musical Until recently
it was not uncommon for promoters to build
a completely new venue for a new musical
show, or at the very least to refurbish. Today,

takes the shows on tour. Examples are the
Best of Musical 2006 and Best of Musical
2007 events that present excerpts from contemporary musicals.
The shows are produced using two AURUS
consoles. A 48-fader unit is used for the FOH
mix and another 32-fader system for the onstage monitoring mix. An orchestra of 30
musicians, a 20 background singers, and nine
soloists rely on the monitoring system. This
requires 126 input signals to be processed
by the consoles. Each soloists performance
is picked up using a small hidden microphone
and transmitter unit.
Inputs and outputs are furnished by four
NEXUS Base Devices stationed stage left, stage
right, and at the two console positions. NEXUS
STAR routers, each tted with seven DSP cards
are at the heart of the network. Every AURUS
channel has its own fully featured dynamics
section and this helps keep down the number
of outboard devices to the bare minimum.
Another good reason for choosing AURUS. Just
three external stereo reverbs are needed for
AURUS in use at Best of Musical, Stage Entertainment, Germany
the orchestra, choir and soloists.

Due to the co-operation with Stage Entertainment, musical-specic solutions quickly
made their way into the AURUS software. For
example, scene automation can now include
AURUSs layer structure. The new automation function allows the layers to be dened
dif ferently for each snapshot. In each layer
the operator can dene which input signals
are controlled by which control strip. In this
way the most important inputs in a scene can
be kept on the console surface regardless of
which layer is selected. Less critical signals
can be moved to lower layers. Unlike VCAs
or DCAs, this approach also provides instant
access to the desired channels signal processing parameters without the need to search for
the channel rst.
Conversely, there are also virtual VCAs for
those who prefer that approach. Simulation of
this functionality was also inspired by the cooperation with Stage Entertainment. Yet another new function integrates complex dynamic
parameter changes into the snapshot automation. Dubbed SnapMix, this enables dynamically automated mini-mixes to be saved and
recalled as events in the snapshot list.
Just like any other snapshot the SnapMix
action can be invoked at the press of a button.
SnapMix offers a real advantage especially in
musicals and wherever an operational sequence
of actions must be performed repetitively and
with absolute accuracy. Since there is no external timecode in this application, AURUS uses
an internally generated time reference for this
function.

Alexandrinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg, Ruia
In the Empire of the Tsar The Alexandrinsky

Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia, radiates with
a rare light. The sumptuous auditorium, which
was extensively renovated according to the original design from the year 1832, is luxuriously
appointed with red velvet and gold leaf.
Construction work and technical changes
were so extensive that the Alexandrinsky, the
oldest theatre in Russia, was closed for two
years. However, thanks to this, the building
could reopen early in 2007 in its full glory
with pristine sound. In the main auditorium a
very unusual location was chosen for the new
AURUS. It is sited directly above the Tsars box
with a marvellous view over the meticulously
refurbished stage. Without doubt, this is the
most beautifully situated AURUS in the world.

Impressive AURUS Installation at Berlin

Philharmonic Berlin Philharmonic owns several audio-control facilities; one of the major
ones is Studio 3. This is where the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra concerts and many more
events in the great hall are recorded. In addition to stereo recordings mixed directly to
tape, multitrack systems play an important
role because they allow surround mixes to be
produced. The studio is also available for CD
productions and for rental as a studio for radio
and the recording industry.
After almost 15 years of operation, an extensive studio overhaul was scheduled for 2006. In
this context, a modern digital solution was to
replace the somewhat outdated analogue console. With regard to the prominent name of the
building, the orchestra it houses, and the guest
pro ducers working here, quality demands
were accordingly high. Starting with the newly
designed acoustics and not forgetting the technical equipment, the aim was to create a representative and state-of-the-art studio providing
optimal working conditions.
The console of choice was an AURUS
because its interface is closely related to analogue console concepts. Head of the audio
department at the Philharmonie, Klaus Peter
Gross, comments: We particularly like the

large number of touch-sensitive controls on
the channel strips that allow many channel settings to be made instantly. AURUS embraces
operating concepts that have been developed
and proven successful during many years of
analogue working. Other factors considered
included the exible integration of the NEXUS
into the existing cable network, the much more
convenient surround support, and the snapshot automation functions. Another key benet is the ofine editor for the AURUS as there
are frequently multiple productions going on
at the same time yet in a time-shifted matter:
while one team sees to the current series of
concerts, another one is already busy preparing the next one.
These manifold production possibilities
require a big AURUS: seven fader panels with
eight channel strips each. With an overall width
of 2.73 metres, this is the biggest AURUS console available in the standard version with two
legs.
New Year Concert Mixed on the AURUS In
2008, the famous Vienna Philharmonic New
Year concert was mixed on an AURUS console.
Since the ORF attaches great importance to a
5.1 mix, the AURUS was the obvious choice
it enables stereo and surround mixes to be
produced simultaneously in parallel. Thus, the
numerous international stations broadcasting
the event were able to select their appropriate
for mat from three 5.1 sums and four stereo
sums.
Theater Gera A Promising House The

connects to a smaller, contemporary glass construction. During the refurbishment works to
the historic building this was used as a provisional solution, hosting the events scheduled
for the season. Today, the glass foyer is used
as a space for experimental theatre and by the
administration.
Philharmonic, Berlin, Germany
The main stage was moved back to the

Great Hall where the magnicent stucco and
golden decoration were preserved during renovation. A big stage with impressive machinery,
an incredibly fast stage revolve and a huge
orchestra pit make this venue ideal for the
most diverse events.
The halls audio system can be used in
various ways, depending only on the type or
genre of the performance at hand. An opera
per formance may require a sonorous thunder
ef fect in the second act, while the musicians
and singers need no sound reinforcement. Contemporary compositions, extravagant productions or rock/pop concerts, on the other hand,
are totally dependent on a high-quality public
address system. Thus a venue with the exibility of the one in Gera needs both a control
room and a PA console in the hall.
The Theater Gera found a creative solution
to this requirement: For events requiring a PA
system, the control rooms sliding door can be
opened. The AURUS console is then be wheeled
into the back of the hall with a minimum loss of
seats and with the audio cue system now doubling as PA console. The 32-channel AURUS
console can be expanded with a mobile 16strip channel module for direct access to additional channels. In this way, 48 channel strips
and eight layers for up to 96 audio channels
become available. That should sufce even for
mixing large- scale events involving all 32 radio
mics, additional microphones, and external
sources.
The multiplicity of sockets for optical connections proves to be a highly practical and
exible solution. The main hall, the separate
concert hall, the production studio and even
the foyer are tted with several optical sockets
providing a direct link to the central NEXUS
audio network.

An optical patchbay in the machine room

allows users to link each optical line to the two

Berliner Ensemble Back in the nineties, the
Berliner Ensemble theatre at the Schiffbauerdamm was one of the rst owners of a NEXUS
audio network. This network was used in conjunction with an analogue console for some considerable time. When a modern digital console
was nally acquired, the extensive distributed
net work that includes seven Stage Tec Base
Devices was initially updated to the current
Matrix 5 status and adapted to the structure
of the state-of-the-art STAR router. A second
step extended the overall system with a 48fader AURUS console precision installed in the

Berliner Schaubhne The Schaubhne in
the Lehniner Platz is considered to be the
avantgarde theatre in Berlin and is an excellent venue for high calibre dance productions.
The theatre is home to three halls separated by
sliding steel panels. These halls can be used
separately or in varying combinations including
one large hall. This high degree of exibility is
reected by the Stage Tec installation, which
comprises four AURUS consoles and a NEXUS
audio network including two STAR routers and
eight Base Devices just for the audio side of the
set-up. Two xed AURUS consoles are used in
the control rooms while the remaining two are
portable and can be hooked up to connecting
points inside the halls whenever the production
requires it.

creating a distributed audio network. With its

the system makes all audio I/Os available
AURUS in use at New Opera Oslo, Norway
where they are needed for example, backstage or at the control room. All components
are interconnected using optical bre, so all
sources and targets are accessible anywhere
on the system. For example, events staged in
the foyer can receive the same high standards
of audio support as large musicals requiring a
host of microphone channels. During live radio
and TV broadcasts from the New Opera House,
the mobile Base Devices are used as stage
boxes for legacy analogue as well as digital
ex ternal OB trucks. In addition to those Base
Devices, three large NEXUS STARs lie at the
heart of the audio network.
The Opera House has three identically congured AURUS consoles integrated into the
NEXUS network. They are relatively compact
to save space in the control rooms and the hall.
Each AURUS provides 24 faders with 8 layers
to access all required sources. Yet, there are
dif ferences with respect to the DSP power the
three consoles provide: While the two systems
in the main and small halls each contain the
maximum of seven DSP cards for up to 300
audio channels, the console in the control room

is tted with four DSP cards giving a nonetheless respectable 170 audio channels.
When classical opera performances are
on the programme, all sound-reinforcement
re quirements are served by the 24-fader
AURUS in the control room. Musical and contemporary music performances, on the other hand,
usually require a larger front-of-house console
positioned at the acoustic sweet spot. This
requirement is satised by an extra 40-fader
AURUS controller used in addition to the control- room console. Given the compact footprint
of both consoles, they can even be set up side
by side for 64-fader operation.
The highlight in September was the rst
opera production on the main stage: Don
Carlos performed by the Metropolitan Opera
from New York. Just like in the opening season,

schedule. The two AURUS consoles were set
up in no time: Just unpack from the transportation crate, connect the optical cable to the

AURUS is up and running.
Sound designer Scott W. Edwards on the

speed of installation and how fast we could put
the two AURUS consoles into operation. From
the rst moment, we really felt right at home
with the console. It has been exemplary in operation and just as intuitive as an analogue desk.
But, the AURUS gives us huge exibility, many
more audio channels, and of course a brilliant sound. It really does combine the best of
both worlds.

Of course, such versatility requires appropriate technical equipment. New set designs, everchanging sound-reinforcement situations, and
varying audio and video applications all necessitate adaptable technology. Also, if possible,
the technology should be operable with little or
no acclimatisation time for visiting sound engineers. This is why the AURUS digital console
was chosen: Its benets include a high degree
of exibility, short set-up times, and fast and
intuitive operation.

The AURUS has proven its excellence, in
particular, on the studio theatre stage. Experimental projects are performed here, often
demanding far more from the audio equipment
than a classical drama. Amplied musical
instruments, miking of voice and vocals, and
surround-sound experiments combined with
the variable geometry of stage and seating are
a part of the studio programme. Accordingly,
the technology is adaptable: Lighting rigs allow
for ying loudspeakers in many ceiling positions. There is no direct connection between
speakers and power ampliers; instead, a
patchbay adds exibility. Combined with the
AURUS, which supports up to 128 buses e.g.
for feeding speakers and surround mixes ,
this set-up allows for almost limitless staging
options in the studio space.
Bavarian State Opera, Munich, Germany
After the old audio system had been in use
for twenty years, the ofcials of the renowned
Bavarian State Opera, home to the secondlargest stage in Europe, opted for a complete
change. A fully equipped CANTUS system was
installed in the control booth with a second
console in the recording studio. The notewor thy
points about this project are the por table slave
console and the extra external master section
that provides for entirely remote- controlling
the system from various locations.
A NEXUS audio network comprising twelve
Base Devices spread all over the building
was implemented for exible routing of audio
signals between the production studio, the
opera hall, the rehearsal room, and the control
booth.
Hanover Opera, Germany Two large CANTUS
desks each with 90 audio channels, a portable
slave console, and an extensive NEXUS audio
net work were installed in the playback and
production studios of the Hanover Opera. The
small slave console is to support the rehearsals in the hall and can be installed in seven different places. The very rst mission of CANTUS
and NEXUS was a real marathon Wagners
Mastersingers of Nuremberg.
Semperoper, Dresden, Germany This historic
opera operates with a NEXUS system comprising four Base Devices. These are located in the
production and playback studios and on stage.
An extra portable unit is reserved for exible
use and can be connected to the network at
various locations all over the building using
optional lines. The engineer in charge remembers the rst show: that was a ZDF Gala on
13 September, 1996. It went directly on air
and went truly smoothly.
In 2007, two AURUS consoles with 32 and

40 faders respectively will supplement the
NEXUS network.
Stadttheater (Municipal Theatre) Bern,
Switzerland Sonic quality and operational
convenience were not the only key criteria
when the Stadttheater completely revamped
its audio system; even more important was the
ability to switch between rehearsal and show
set tings instantly. This could be achieved by
specify ing a exible CANTUS/NEXUS solution including a CANTUS console and a slave
console, plus three stationary and two mobile
NEXUS Base Devices. Since the theatre was
originally built in 1899, historic preservation
was an issue; however, thanks to the use of
optical bres for networking, the installation
could be accomplished comfortably.
Another requirement was to integrate the
choir hall used for adding live audio to the main
production. CANTUS and NEXUS proved to be
the only solution with sufciently low latency to
allow for live additions via the network whilst
simultaneously enabling the choir hall to monitor what is going on in the main hall! With this
solution, it is even possible to produce separate productions in the local audio studio while
normal theatre work continues.
Berlin Concert Hall, Germany The real
challenge of the audio-system redesign at Konzerthaus was to provide the exibility required
to allow multiple radio stations to record the
same event. A complex CANTUS/NEXUS system turned out to be a perfect solution: Five
Base Devices are distributed over the three
main stages while the two in-house production studios are equipped with one Base Device
each. An extra mobile Base Device enhances
exibility.
Cologne Opera, Germany The challenge
with this installation was that although it was
scheduled to be undertaken during a break, it
had to be accomplished in a very short time
since the audio support was urgently needed
for rehearsals. All the systems were up and
running after just two days thanks to excellent
planning. The core components of the installation are CANTUS main and slave desks that
communicate via bre-optic lines. The mobile
slave console can be connected at four dif ferent spots in the building.
The premiere of the audio system at Cologne
Opera was celebrated with an appropriately
named piece dedicated to the great Maria
Callas: Master Class. Nomen est omen.

This net work provides an intercom plat form for
all government security forces and the police.
The Reichstag, in particular, was furnished
with plenty of equipment: Digital microphones
featuring TrueMatch A/D converters, a large
NEXUS router, and two CANTUS consoles are
components of a fully digital network. Even a
directional sound-reinforcement system could
be implemented using the NEXUS internal
gain/delay matrix. An optimum degree of reliability could be achieved by consistently implementing redundancy components and control
features.

Swiss Parliament media centre, Bern, Switzerland Outdated technology, insuf cient
workplaces: Journalists have suffered from bad
working conditions at the Swiss parliament
the Bundeshaus (Federal House) for quite a
while. The same was true of the local production
facilities used by the SRG (Swiss Broadcasting
Ser vice) who were responsible for broadcasts
18 I
from the Bundeshaus. Modernisation was

urgently needed. Thus, a new information centre named Bundesmedienhaus was erected
close to the historic parliament buildings dating
back to the 19th century.
The centre houses not only modern workplaces, but also a new central multimedia control room with an AURUS/NEXUS system. This
is where all video and audio is now made available for TV broadcasts.
The core of the new control room is an
AURUS with 32 channel strips, 80 audio channels, and 64 buses in a mainframe. This console can be extended to 48 channel strips in
the future. A star-topology network comprising a NEXUS STAR and nine Base Devices is
used for routing audio and video between the
plenary assembly hall, the main control room,
and the control room.
A special requirement of the installation is
that the broadcast audio must be made available in multiple languages because German,
Italian, French, and Rhaeto-Romanic is spoken
in Switzerland. For this reason, the AURUS is

used rst to create a programme feed containing the hall microphone signals an approach
similar to large international productions. The
commentary voice-overs in the four languages
will be added to the feed later. The four commentary signals are recorded directly to the
audio tracks of the cameras, thus ensuring
audio/video synchronicity for subsequent mixdowns. The NEXUS SDI board is the perfect
partner for this approach. The NEXUS XSDI
board allows for de-embedding the audio from
the video stream, processing it, and re-embedding it to the video without any latency. The
XSDI board is capable of working as a deembedder and an embedder, simultaneously
and in real-time.

Leading edge Convention centre with NEXUS

Long, polished limos glided past, helicopters
were circling overhead, and vigilant security
guards were everywhere. The atmosphere was
electric. High ranking visitors, among them
Vladimir Putin and George W. Bush, assembled at the NCC for the APEC Summit, held in
Vietnam for the rst time in November 2006.
This was an event of enormous importance for
Vietnam, which had shortly before received
the immensely signicant conrmation of its
admission to the World Trade Organisation.
The newly opened National Convention
Centre NCC had been chosen for the summit. To
make the event a real success, the implementation of a digital audio network was required. It
was the classical virtues of the NEXUS that
made it the ideal solution for such a convention-centre environment. Because communication between units is based entirely on optical
bres, a NEXUS network simply eliminates the
problems inherent with copper wiring for
example, interference or signal deterioration
on long cable runs. The modular architecture
of the optical network is particularly installation friendly, allowing for signicant manpower
savings. At the NCC, just four thin bres handle
the duplex transmission of 128 audio channels
including control data and even provide cabling
redundancy! Another decisive argument for the
NEXUS was the converters on the TrueMatch
boards, which offer 32-bit resolution and a
dy namic range of 158 dB for unsurpassed
audio quality. Altogether, a total of 64 XMAD
TrueMatch microphone-input boards are avail able at the NCC.

plus a NEXUS STAR. In addition to the variety of
formats this conguration supports, a key benet of this integrated solution, typical of Stage
Tec systems, is that the NEXUS internal audioprocessing features can be used. For instance,
all delay lines are set using the NEXUS DSP.
This provides for latency-free audio while preventing inadvertent changes to other settings,
for example, the console set-up.
A side note: The Birds Nest planners were
so convinced by AURUS and NEXUS that the

acionados are rather excited about the structure of the new stadium. However, the OB eet
that will supply the world with audio and video
from Beijing makes broadcasting pros no less
enthusiastic: Broadcasters from Asia, America,
and Europe are sending their agship vehicles
to the Games. HDTV and 5.1 are the standard
formats that will be used at the Olympics.
One of the most impressive units was a new
HDTV truck belonging to CCTV, Chinas state
TV station. The vehicle accommodates more
than 25 cameras and includes a generously
equipped control room that makes perfect use
of the available space with a dedicated extension. The AURUS/NEXUS system implemented
here is more than appropriate for the surround- sound specications: The console has
48 faders and 96 audio channels and accesses
ve NEXUS Base Devices, two of which are
available as mobile stage boxes outside the
vehicle. The total number of I/Os is 300300,

of fering excess capacity even for HDTV surround sound.

This HDTV truck, made by Sony China as
general contractor and built by Sony U.K.,
maked its debut at the Summer Games.
At about the same time, Hunan Economic
TV, a Chinese regional station, received their
HDTV OB truck packed with Stage Tec technology. This fast vehicle houses eight cameras and
also includes an AURUS in the control room.
With its 40 faders and 96 channels, it is hardly
less powerful than the prominent CCTV acquisition. The two stationary NEXUS Base Devices
are supplemented by a mobile ultra-compact
1-U NEXUS Base Device that was specically
designed for sport broadcasing use. In total
around 250 250 I/Os are available on the
truck. Hunan ECTV is a partly commercial station and broadcasts a 24/7 programme for
the people living alongside the Yangtze River
more than 64 million people.
Tpc tv productioncenter sent an OB vehicle
with STAGETEC systems aboard to the Olympic
Games. The Zurich-based TV production company HD-1 truck is a legendary unit a true
pioneer in HDTV broadcasting. This 36-ton
vehicle houses an AURUS with 128 audio
channels plus a NEXUS matrix offering 700
600 I/Os. It was accompanied by the F 3,
a Norddeutscher Rundfunk truck equipped
with a 250-channel AURUS, and Italian RAIs

already in use during the Olympics. In this giant
building designed by Dutch and German architects Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren, the E14,
E15, and E17 control rooms were equipped
with AURATUS XL consoles and an appropriate NEXUS network. Each of the three consoles
offers 84 audio channels two of them with
24 fader control surfaces, the third with 32
faders.
A custom conguration was required in
order to achieve highly exible utilisation of the
studios. To be able to congure the NEXUS network quickly and conveniently from the control
room, the control computer, which is normally
an external device, was integrated into the
AURATUS desks. The operators accessed the
NEXUS conguration software using a special
panel equipped with a trackball and keyboard

central TFT, which had been equipped with
Premiere of AURATUS XL in Japan At a presentation of the AURATUS XL, a larger version

of the AURATUS digital mixing console, the
people at the Italian broadcaster RAI were so
enthusiastic about the new design that they
promptly rented the prototype to broadcast
the Athletics World Championships at Osaka
in Japan. The console was in continuous operation for three weeks during August 2007: 16
hours a day. This was a truly successful acid
test! Soon after the original AURATUS had
been released in January 2007, many broadcasters began asking for a version featuring significantly more audio channels and the concept
of the AURATUS XL was born. Providing 140
channels, the prototype used in Osaka offered
around three times as many channels as the
standard version AURATUS.
Winter Olympics 2006, Turin, Italy In Turin,
almost 70 NEXUS Base Devices, 9 CANTUS
consoles, and 3 AURUS desks ensured exquisite sound. For example, BRs F3 OB truck handled the speed-skating contests at Turin. The
audio-control facility of the truck is equipped
with CANTUS and NEXUS. The same is true
for the BRs F2 truck where coverage of the
cross- country skiing contests taking place at
Pragelato was produced.

Winter Olympics 2006, Turin, Italy
Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion, Stuttgart, Germany In July 2006, the match between Germany and Portugal to decide third-place in the
football world cup took place at this stadium.
The various technical installations had been
checked in advance to make sure they met the
strict requirements imposed by FIFA. When it
came to extending the audio system, a NEXUS
was the system of choice because of positive
experience: A NEXUS audio network including
twelve Base Devices has run with extreme
reliability for almost ten years. Due to the expansion, it had become necessary to test the
existing NEXUS Base Device components for
wear. The tests showed that all components
were still fully operable. These components
plus three new NEXUS Base Devices and 50
additional boards now form an entirely new
overall system.
The new NEXUS audio system fulls a
number of functions: It not only feeds 145
loudspeakers for terrace and eld-area public
address and evacuation but also integrates the
internal studios and production premises and

by two more NEXUS Base Devices and is used
for both background music and paging.

Skiing World Cup 2003, St. Moritz, Switzerland The Skiing World Cup in St. Moritz with
the nish located at an altitude of 2000 metres
(6,500 ft) posed major technical challenges:
extended logistics, extreme climate, and the
consistent lack of level surfaces for positioning
the technical gear close to the action!
However, a virtue was made of necessity:
Only absolutely essential technical equipment
was installed alongside the ski runs and at the
nish area. The distances between the various
scenes and the technical headquarters were
spanned using optical bres. As a result, the
Skiing World Cup 2003 was the rst where
video, audio, and intercom distribution was
entirely based on optical bres. A large NEXUS
net work was used as an audio and intercom
routing system.
The long distances between the key points
required two technical headquarters: the Tech-
nical Operation Centre (TOC) at the nish area

and the International Broadcasting Centre (IBC)
at St. Moritz Bad. Both centres were locally
net worked using a NEXUS STAR and interconnected via MADI to keep the networks isolated
yet allow for free exchange of signals.
The TOC was the host broadcasters main
technical area, housing not only the NEXUS
STAR but also 17 widely scattered NEXUS Base
Devices with a total of 1,436 inputs and 1,380
outputs. These were positioned, for example,
in boxes along the runs where they gathered
microphone signals and interfaced to the
intercom system. Some of the Base Devices
were mobile and could be operated right at
the edge of the ski run whenever necessary.
Others were used by Eurovision, or to integrate
four studios overlooking the nishing line into
the network. The Base Devices connected the
microphones required for short interviews with
the athletes at the nish area. These signals
were then routed to an OB truck or the IBC. All
Base Devices were connected to the NEXUS
STAR in a star topology, so this STAR was a real
distribution centre.
The second STAR was supplied to the
accredited radio stations for producing their
international programmes at the IBC. Its duties
included routing the signals from the TOC to
the individual rooms at IBC, monitoring the
outgoing signals, and linking to the satellite
vehicles. These tasks were accomplished by
utilising another ten NEXUS Base Devices.

From its formation in 1993, Stage Tec Entwicklungsgesellschaft fr professionelle Audiotechnik mbH has
specialised in the design of digital audio technology. Since then it has set new benchmarks, thanks to continuous research and development.
NEXUS, the rst digital audio router based on a decentralised concept with consistent bre-optic net working,
the multi-award winning CANTUS mixing console system and the Direct-Access Console AURUS shown
for the rst time in 1993, 1994 and 2002 respectively are milestones on the road to a creative utilization
of digital technology. The latest innovation is the AURATUS compact production console. 24 units of this
product were sold to the WDR broadcasting service in the rst year of its release.
Stage Tec has become a world-leading vendor of professional audio systems. The bright new building on the
bank of the River Spree in Berlin, houses the R&D department as well as production facilities with multiple
commissioning rooms and a dedicated recording studio. All 13 of the engineers who originally founded the
enterprise as a kind of worker co-operative, are still active partners and carry responsibility for continuing
innovation and efciency.
Stage Tec imposes stringent standards on its hardware designs. All modules must be compact and lightweight
with ultra-low power consumption and, at the same time, must have impeccable sound quality. Modules must
also be versatile building blocks for different applications. Only then can you design lightweight, intelligent
and exible products like AURATUS, AURUS, CANTUS or NEXUS.
At Stage Tec, the software and hardware domains are inextricably linked. Highly optimized hardware demands
purpose-built software solutions. Stage Tec relies on its own skills and expertise. The entire soft ware, the
algorithms employed in the individual DSP building blocks and the AURUS, CANTUS and NEXUS control programs with their graphical user interfaces, all come from the in-house software-development department.
Whether NEXUS, NEXUS STAR, CANTUS, the TrueMatch RMC, CINETRA, AURATUS or AURUS, every Stage
Tec product has been a trend-setter. With CANTUS and NEXUS, the consistent separation between mixing
and the I/O matrix is innovative and allows efcient decentralised systems to be constructed. The AURUS
and AURATUS consoles extend the family tree and excel with their unique operating concept: instant access
to all key parameters. Something of a novelty in the digital world!
Superlative sound quality and ultimate reliability in professional use is the norm for all Stage Tec products.
40-bit oating-point arithmetic and 32-bit TrueMatch converters are standard features along with automatic self-test routines, hot-swap capable components, redundant power-supply units and bre- optic lines.
Distributed intelligence confers further security by ensuring there is no single point of failure that would
disable the complete system.
Furthermore, all Stage Tec products are extremely compact, lightweight, and power-saving thanks to stateof-the-art design and the use of modern, innovative materials. These criteria are of considerable impor tance
in many elds, for example in OB trucks.

Introduction
Only a few years ago, the use of fiber optic cabling was limited to such special cases as HD broadcast
cameras. Since then, the adoption of fiber optics has increased immense. Today, fiber optic cables
are widely used for digital signal transmission and network applications in the pro audio, broadcast,
and touring / rental industries.
THE APPLICATIONS FOR FIBER ARE EXTENSIVE. SOME EXAMPLES ARE:
Network (audio, data, or DMX) transmissions with >70m (mobile) or >100m (installation) lengths,
connected to professional equipment (e.g. mixers) that uses fiber optic connectors or fiber optic
switching
Digital HD video transmissions >15m (e.g. DVI, HDMI, or KVM projection) using fiber optic media
converters
Future-proof installations designed to eliminate bandwidth limitations
Noise and EMI protection on audio or video (LED wall) applications
Increased bandwidth, especially for broadcast applications
Minimized cabling by embedding multiple data signals
As pro audio and broadcast equipment has evolved from analog to digital data transmission, the
industry has attempted to adapt connectors originally designed for the data communication and
computer industries (e.g. RJ45 connectors). Today, that trend continues with fiber optic connectors.
But this is problematic. Conventional data-communication fiber optic connectors (ST, SC, LC, etc.)
are optimized for permanent, one-time connection. These connectors were never designed for, and
cannot withstand, the rough handling of mobile applications or the multiple mating cycles required
in the entertainment industry. Alternative connectors, originally developed for military applications,
have not been cost effective and have been deficient either in regards to dust protection and
maintenance or attenuation and return loss.
Design Criteria
Neutrik solved the various problems associated with mobile fiber optic connectivity with the launch
of the opticalCON DUO fiber optic connection system in 2005. opticalCONs reliable and simple
concept, with ruggedness and low maintenance at its core, has gained wide acceptance in the pro
audio and broadcast industries. Well-known professional equipment manufacturers as well as key
users in broadcast and rental / touring trust in opticalCON. It is our goal to turn opticalCON into an
industry standard comparable to the widely used etherCON series.
opticalCON is based on LC-Duplex connectors but eliminates their inherent weaknesses, guaranteeing a safe, dust protected, and ruggedized connection. opticalCON DUOs compatibility with
conventional LC connectors at both the front and the rear of the chassis connectors offers users
the choice of using cost effective LC cables or ruggedized opticalCON cabling, depending on the
requirements at hand. This flexibility to choose cost-effective LC cabling for system integration or
ruggedized opticalCON for mobile applications benefits both OEMs and system integrators.
opticalCON DUO is most typically used for equipment connections, including various audio, lighting,
and video applications. Typical uses include audio and DMX network (ring switch) applications, video
projection based on fiber optic DVI, HDMI, or KVM signal converters, mobile LED panels, and various
broadcast applications.
Following on the success of opticalCON DUO, the newer opticalCON QUAD series doubles the fiber
count to four per cable and is designed with point-to-point connections in mind. opticalCON QUAD
has been successfully deployed in such applications as data routing for touring / rental events and,
especially, OB outdoor broadcast applications.
The brand new opticalCON MTP increases the numbers of fibers in one connector to 12 and is the
ideal solution for multi-fiber point-to-point applications as often required for broadcast applications.
Alternatively SPLIT cables, assembled with opticalCON DUO or QUAD, support a connector standardization and offers advantages with regard to field assembly or repair costs.
The opticalCON line continues to grow in response to our users requirements our very successfully
X-TREME cable and the brand new ARMORED cable, available for both opticalCON DUO and opticalCON QUAD, provide most possible reliability. A combined opticalCON / powerCON cable provides
both multichannel fiber and power. A series of patch panels, couplers, breakout boxes, color-coded
springs and gaskets, and on-air powerMONITOR products eases system integration and helps assure
flawless operation.

Audio
CLAIR BROTHERS, USA
Clair Brothers uses the opticalCON fiber systems for audio signal transmission worldwide as the
standard 100 meter runs on all of their high end digital mixing console systems. They also use
opticalCON fiber systems under extremely harsh outdoor conditions to distribute digital audio
between delay systems (loudspeaker delay) on their larger outdoor festival situations in the US
and Europe.
The inherent bulk of the opticalCON system works far better for Clair than previous lightweight
fiber systems as it lays flatter and is less susceptible to kinks and being
caught up under chairs and stairways in typical arena situations.
Clair Brothers is the worlds largest touring company specialized in sound and staging. Through
the years Clair Brothers has handled shows for some of the biggest names in the music industry,
with artists such as The Eagles, AC/DC, Jonas Brothers and Sir Elton John to name a few. In
January of 2009, Clair Brothers was responsible for the post inauguration event for US President
Obama, where many thousands of people gathered to hear him speak in a large outdoor event.
THE CONNECTORS HAVE PROVEN TO BE VERY

Broadcast - SNG/ENG
BORIS TV, UNITED KINGDOM
Boris TV uses Neutriks opticalCON Low Voltage cable for series productions (e.g. at Twickenham
Film Studios). The production requires frequent reconnection of links to cameras in a dusty
environment, the shutters seal proved effective in preventing dust contamination of fibres.
The low voltage camera cable is a cost effective fiber optic hybrid cable solution and a great
SMPTE cable alternative if only low voltage is required. The ultra flexible and lightweight (65 kg/
km) design is optimized for camera link systems (e.g. for ENG / SNG1), camera adapter systems,
camera cranes and powered drop down converter boxes for broadcast applications where only
ELV2 (< 50Vac) is required.
A PARTICULAR BENEFIT TO BORIS TELEVISION LTD

HAS BEEN THE ABILITY TO CARRY ENOUGH CABLE
TO SUPPORT 8 CAMERAS WITH A RANGE OF 150 M

Broadcast - Studio Routing

opticalCON is the ideal solution for studio / OB-van patch rack applications. The systems sealing
shutters ensure high mating cycles and minimized maintenance.
Typically used in high quantities, opticalCON chassis connectors are simple to install and very cost
effective compared to other robust fiber optic connection systems. In particular, the opticalCON
DUO chassis connector is well suited for system integrations, as it offers LC compatibility on
both front and rear. With its four copper contacts, opticalCON DUO can be used both with
cost-effective permanent LC patch cables and also for hybrid powered connections to broadcast
cameras.
Boris TV uses the opticalCON DUO system with Low Voltage cables (e.g. at Desmet Studios in
Amsterdam) for its frequent reconfigurations of camera and cable setups between studios. The
system has proven to be effective and reliable.

Introduction
The Neutrik speakON Series, known in the professional
audio industry as "The loudspeaker connector" has become
the state of the art in speaker and amplifier connectivity.
Introduced in 1987 speakON was invented by Neutrik as a
result of customer demand for a reliable speaker connection.
The pro audio market quickly realized the advantages of this
completely new connection system.
The design is optimized for loudspeaker applications with

an outstanding cost-performance ratio. As market leader for
speaker connections we are proud to offer an all-encompassing
product line for the specific needs of todays market. Recent
designs such as the STX series and the speakON Combo offer
solutions for nearly every speaker application.
Integrated Design
One of Neutrik's goals is to create products that are easily distinguished from
other manufacturers. We have successfully achieved this in our engineering
efforts as well as the patent and trademark protection granted for our unique
products. To further establish a clear difference between Neutrik and our competitors products we give our customer the means to easily identify original
Neutrik products. Therefore all of our new products such as the SPX and the
STX series are designed according to the protected integrated design. (EU-Pat.:
DM/057 379, US-Pat. Pending, CHINA-Pat.: 02305192.2/193.0/194.9/195.7)

The leading instrument for Analog & Digital Audio

History
System Overview, Features
Over the past 25 years NTI

(previously part of NEUTRIK-group)
has been on the leading edge of
audio technology by manufacturing
innovative, superior quality connectors and high performance,
cost-effective audio measurement
equipment. Our combined user
base comprises over 10,000 units of
audio test sets around the world and
a satisfied customer base including
military,
telecom,
aerospace,
professional audio, broadcasters,
educational
industry,
industrial
manufacturers and research and
development firms.
The A2 and the A2-D are state-ofthe-art

fully
automatic,
high
performance audio measurement
systems. Equipped with both a
generator and a comprehensive
measurement section, the instruments can completely characterize
virtually all audio performance
parameters including level, gain,
frequency response, total harmonic
distortion, intermodulation distortion,
noise, wow & flutter, drift, crosstalk,
phase and spectrum analysis.
In
March
2000
the
audio
measurement division of Neutrik
has been separated in cause of a
management buy out forming the
new company NTI. NTI and Neutrik
are fully independent companies.
Our team of engineers is commited
to research in the latest technology
in order to meet the challenges of
the future. Our sales and after sales
services are supported in many
countries around the world with
highly qualified, technically trained
personnel.
Our mission to be leaders in our
industry derives from our pursuit
of
perfection
and
customer
satisfaction.
Rapid measurement settling allows

use of the instrument in production
or R&D. The instrument can be
controlled via a user-friendly front
panel interface, making even
complicated measurement tasks
very simple. A RS232 remote control
interface as well as an IEEE 488
interface allow full remote operation
of all functions.
Following the latest trends in audio
technology the A2-D is capable
of handling analog and digital
signals. This ensures that a single,
selfcontained instrument can do
all the required tests in mixed
signal environments with simplicity,
and offers superior graphical and
documentation capabilities.
The use of advanced technologies
such as digital signal processors
Block Diagram Analog Analyzer
page 2 of 8
ensures a large growth potential

towards meeting the challenges of
future technologies.
The A2 is very price competitive
since it combines many features,
usually found only on separate
analog and digital analyzers, in one
unit, costing less than competitors
equipment.
Easy-to-read, large high resolution graphics display. Single
measurement values are shown
as giant characters and with a
bargraph, response curves in a
properly scaled graph with up to
six traces and time dependent
signals in the auto-scaling scope
screen.
Amplitude-, time-, frequency- and
tablesweep capability over the
entire range of the internal
generator or with external synchronization.
Intelligent auto-scaling, -ranging,
-tuning and -nulling for maximum
operational convenience.
Storage/Recall of four complete
graphs with up to 6 traces each in
the non-volatile memory for later
printout or transfer to a PC.
Easy, precise and quick generator
setting with bandless knobs.
Dedicated controls for each
function.
Intelligent window technique for
configuration settings.

Auto detection of analog / digital
signal inputs (A2-D).
Functional, EMI proof, all metal,
easily stackable and rackmountable cabinet.
DSP generator for cleanest signals
with literally no limitations in signal
shape: sinewave, symmetric and
asymmetric square wave, white/
pink noise, warble- and dualtone
signals included.
Extended capabilities with PC
control: WindowsTM based driver
software package AS04 via RS232
or IEEE-488 interface.
Generator
The high performance DSP based
generator covers a frequency
range from 10Hz to 100kHz with
residual mid-band distortion below
0.0015%. Level ranges from 10V
up to +24.5Vrms. Alternate signals
provided with the DSP flexibility are
- Square
- Triangle
- White Noise
- Pink Noise
- Warbled Sine
- IMD Signals
The electronically balanced, floating

output stage can be complemented
with an optional output transformer.
The generator can be swept not only

over frequency but also over the
entire amplitude range with freely
selectable start/stop values.
The table feature allows to define
discrete measurement points in a
sweep table.
Digital Generator Features

The digital generator samples at the
three standardized frequencies of
32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz or can be
locked to either the analyzer input
clock or to an external house clock.
It provides full access to status
and user bits. Resolution of the
generated signal can vary from 4 to
24 bits. Supported waveforms are:
Sine, Dithered Sine, Pass-Mode
and Dithered Pass-Mode.
The sampling frequency can be
detuned in the range of 1500ppm
to check the locking range of the
DUTs PLL circuitry.
The implemented Jitter generator
allows adding defined Jitter values
from 2ns up to 40ns. The modulation
signal can be selected between a
sinewave or white noise; there is
literally no signal limitation.
Furthermore, the carrier level can

be reduced and indicated from
the nominal 5V (AES/EBU spec)
to levels as low as 0.15V. The
variation of these parameters
allows one to easily draw a picture
of the acceptance range of the
device under test and gives a quick
impression of the available safety
margins in an installation.
Dithering of the generated signals
with the TPDF can be activated also
in the Pass mode, where the output
provides a clock synchronous signal
as presented at the analyzers input
but with possible alteration of status
information, transmission format
e.t.c. This way the A2-D can be used
as a problem solver at an interface,
filtering or inserting certain bits.
Analyzer
The
two
independently
and
simultaneously operating inputs
are balanced and fully differential
with selectable input impedances
of 200ohm (150ohm), 600ohm and
100kohm. Phantom power of +15V
or +48V is available as an option.
The inputs can handle levels from as
low as 1.2V up to 200Vrms.

Front Panel A2
The input levels are continuously

measured and displayed for both
channels. A very fast peak ranging
circuitry adjusts gain automatically
for lowest noise and distortion.
A 400Hz high pass, 22Hz - 22kHz
band pass, CCIR 468 noise
weighting filter as well as the W&F
weighting filters are included as
standards. Sockets are provided for
four additional weighting filters (two
per channel).
Analog Functions
In order to speed up tests, the
comprehensive analog analyzer
section of the A2 and the A2-D
provide simultaneous two channel
measurements for
- Level
- Level-ratio
- Crosstalk
- Phase
- Frequency
- Scope
and fully automatic

- Total Harmonic Dist. (THD+N)
- Noise
- Wow & Flutter
- Drift
- Intermodulation Distortion
- Narrow Band Selective Level
- Spectral FFT Analysis
Measurement
Functions
Display Section
Generator Controil
All functions are available in linear

or logarithmic units in absolute and
relative terms.
The two channel digital storage
oscilloscope is self triggering, autoscaling and -ranging, equipped with
a time-base optimizing algorithm.
Thus no adjustments are required
to obtain a display of the signal
wavefrom. A Store function allows
freezing the scope screen.
Monitoring
The built-in speaker and headphone
jack with adjustable volume allow
monitoring the analog and digital
audio signals. Three additional
BNC-type outputs are provided;
one each for the auto-ranged input
signals and one for the reading
output, representing the processed
signal right before the rectifiers (e.g.
residuals in THD).
Digital Functions (A2-D)

An innovative digital interface
option supports measurements in
a digital signal environment, where
connectivity problems like emphasis,
sampling rates, consumer/professional formats occur regularly.
page 4 of 8
Filters
The interface acts as a problem

solver allowing the analysis of
the bitstream in the two standard
formats, - AES/EBU and IEC958
(SPDIF). AES/EBU can - for easiest
operation - be directly fed into the
front XLR connectors. No matter
what the signal type is, the smart
input stage automatically detects
the signal type and switches into the
appropriate analysis mode.
In addition RCA and optical TOS link
connectors for input and output of
SPDIF signals are provided at the
back of the instrument.
Regardless of the selected source,
the available analysis functions are
- Carrier Level
- Sampling Freq.
- Jitter Analysis - Peak Level

- Bit Statistics
- Status Analysis
With the internal high performance

D/A converter it is furthermore
possible to perform analog analysis
of the digital signal
- Total Harmonic Dist. (THD+N)
- RMS Level
- Monitoring (speaker & headphone)

The continuously displayed carrier
level, sampling frequency and jitter
provide an accurate image of the
condition of the incoming signal.
The table sweep facility allows to

load a userdefined sweep table into
the memory of the A2. The table may
contain pairs of frequency and level
to maintain e.g. constant modulation
or de-emphasis of any frequency
characteristic.
A2-D analyses the word-clock jitter

in the range of 1ns up to the 40ns
where most professional equipment
fails to track.
A mixed signal mode, generating

digital and analyzing analog or vice
versa, simplifies test of A/D and D/A
converters.
The measured sampling frequency

can be displayed in absolute terms
or as a deviation from the next
standardised sampling rate in ppm.
The main content of the status
information is also continuously
decoded, while the analysis mode
Status provides a complete and
clearly readable analysis of the bits
- for the professional as well as for
the consumer format.
The Bitstatistics screen illustrates
the activity of all bits in a subframe,
thus easily allowing one to find the
real audio data resolution or possibly
hanging bits.
The
peak-level
measurement
continuously displays - as with
analog signals - both channels
simultaneously with large characters
and the dual trace bargraph.
Available units are dBF, %, and LSB.
LSB units are very helpful to indicate
how many bits are occupied or left
unused before reaching full scale.
A powerful FFT analysis (optional
in some markets) allows one to
perform Fast Fourier Transformation
with the incoming analog signal. It
provides a high resolution spectral
display up to 5kHz or 20kHz for full
audio bandwidth with a block length
of 2048 samples. Different windows
like Hanning or Flat-Top, can be
selected for optimized results.
Storage Capabilities
Sweep Menu
Several traces of the same sweep

type may be overlayed and rescaled
together in a graph. A maximum of
six traces can be kept, rescaled,
stored and printed in one graph.
Sweeps
Frequency response sweeps, the
most frequent used application to
prove the quality of an audio device,
are automatically performed by a
single keystroke. The amplitude
sweep facility of the A2 - without
an external PC displays within
seconds the MOL of a tape or the
characteristics of a compressor
limiter.
The time sweep, specialized to
monitor results of a measurement
function, to find intermittent faults
or to get a data base for average
levels, can be set to values from
seconds up to days.
Four complete, independent graphs

can be stored in the internal nonvolatile memory. Each stored graph
is complemented with a time/date
stamp of the clock. This simplifies
field measurements, where carrying
a printer is too awkward.
Display
Measurement results are shown on
a latest generation 256 x 128 backlit
graphics LC-display with large and
easily read characters, completed
by two bargraphs representing the
amplitudes of both input channels.
Furthermore, a D/A converted signal

can be fed into the analog analyzer
path to do conventional audio
analysis with the digital bitstream.
The analyzer locks to sampling rates
of 32kHz, 44.1kHz and 48kHz - but
accepts any sampling rate in the
range from 25kHz to 52kHz - or can
be locked to an external house-clock
signal.
METER Display
page 5 of 8

All relevant input and output data
including send- and return frequency
& amplitude are permanently displayed. The display scaling is
automatically adjusted to the
span (swing) of measured values.
Comfortable ZOOM/SCROLL functions allow magnification of areas
of special interest. A running cursor
allows very easy post analysis of
measurement curves. The oscilloscope shows two traces (original
signal and residual) in the THD
mode and both input channels in
LEVEL mode.
Communication
The built-in Centronics interface
provides printscreen function (text
and half page graph). Epson-FX, LQ, IBM, HP-Think Jet, DeskJet and
LaserJet compatible printers can be
used.
PC
communication
can
be
established via the optional RS232
serial interface or via the optional
IEEE-488 parallel interface.
Supplied with either of these
interfaces, a powerful software
package running on all WindowsTM
PCs, called AS04, allows full remote
control of all functions of the A2 and
A2-D including sweeps with possible
tolerance bands for acceptance
testing. See AS04 for details.
Printouts
All data/graphs including oscilloscope waveforms are stored in the
internal buffer and are ready for hard
copy printout. The stored sweeps
can be printed out even after mains
power interruption: Measure now,
print later. Pressing the PRINT
button produces a complete copy
Print Out Scope Mode

of the display content including text,

measurement values, A2 status,
date and graphics. Graphic size is
150 x 100 mm (6 x 4).
Portable and Rack Mount

The front panel of the A2 is protected
with a sturdy ABS cover. The optional
soft carrying bag perfectly protects
the instrument during transportation
and allows full operation in the bag.
With the rack mount wings (supplied
as standard) the A2 can easily be
rack mounted for stationary use.
Special Functions
The A2 and A2-D are designed with
an open architecture so that further
extensions and future measurement
functions can easily be implemented
by a simple software update.

AS04 - WindowsTM Based Remote Control Software for A2-D
Basic Concept
The AS04 software package not
only provides full access to all
analog and digital functions of
A2/A2-D instruments, but also
enlarges its capabilities by far
with an extended row of additional
features. Communication between a
PC and the test instrument may be
established either through a highspeed RS232 serial interface or a
IEEE-488.2 parallel interface.
Basically, AS04
supports
all
available standard functions of
an A2 instrument, including the
features of additionally installed
options as e.g. digital mode or FFT
spectrum analysis. Furthermore,
a sophisticated sweep curve
calculation panel or a programming
tool for automated processes enable
the operator to carry out virtually all
possible measurement tasks.
Automated Applications
panels, displaying the actual status
as well as offering access to all
available settings. For the display of
measurement results, a Meter panel
and up to eight Bargraphs may be
opened in parallel. Sweep- and FFTsetup as well as their graphics are
displayed in seperate panels, which
may be printed out at any time.
Frequently used set-ups, together
with all recorded curves and optional
tolerance bands may be saved and
loaded if required.
Automated sequences may be

structured in small units and called
up individually by a main program,
thus saving a lot of routine work.
Requirements
Panel Structure
All related functions such as
generator or analyzer settings
are comprised in separate, clear
An easy-to-learn programming tool

called AMSL (Audio Measurement
System Language), being very
similar to BASIC, allows to write
complete sequences for automated
tests. Its thought-out command
set for program flow control,
measurements, input / output,
calculations and advanced system
handling tasks satisfies almost all
requirements without limitations.

warns if any discrepancies are found.
Digital Audio Monitoring

Channel Status Analysis
Interface Carrier Measurements
Audio Monitoring
Beyond all the measurement power,
the built in converter & speaker is one
of the most important tool of the DL1.
Featuring high quality headphone
output, automatic gain control and
monitoring of analog input signals.
Dual Domain Functions
Up to 96 kHz, 24 Bit
AES3, S/PDIF, TOSLINK & ADAT
The Digilyzer DL1 is a powerful but easy to use digital audio analyzer. Testing, monitoring and troubleshooting digital audio interfaces
is fast and straight forward using this compact tool. Virtually all digital audio formats including ADAT and sampling frequencies up to
96 kHz are supported. With features like the DL1 unique integrity check, the integrated speaker, event & data logging, audio lens and
many more digital audio becomes transparent and easy to debug.
Scope
The auto trigger and auto ranging
scope gives a detailed view of the input audio signal in the time domain.
DC offset problems and polarity issues
are visible. Also ideal for understanding sampling peculiarities.
Channel Status
The complete channel status information is displayed in an easy-to-understand plain text format - according to
the latest standards. Interface-carrier
frequency and level is available on
nearly every screen.
THD+N, Level, Frequency

Beside Level Peak measurements, the
DL1 is equipped with RMS measurement techniques including THD+N and
high pass filters, allowing easy verification and debugging of dual domain
devices like AD converters.
Bit Statistics
Measuring the audio resolution, finding
stuck-bit failures and monitoring the
activity of the user data bit are some important applications of the bit statistics
function. Basic channel status information is visible on the bottom line.
Frequency Sweep
The DL1 automatically triggers to a
sweep sequence with any step width
and records the frequency response.
Any stepped sweep may be used as
signal source. After capture all sweep
data is available.
Event Logger
Intermittent faults are usually hard to
find. The event logger tracks every
change of the input signal (carrier,
channel status or audio related)
and allows long term checking and
highlighting of possible problems.
VU + PPM
The combined vu + PPM meter (vu =
volume unit) with numerical maximum
hold and over indicators helps identifying leveling problems and clipping.
Reference grade performance with up
to 40 screen updates per second.

The PPM gives an indication of whats coming in

Measurement - in this
example the peak level
of channel A and B.
The Quick Status shows you the

most important vaules of the received channel status information.
Analyzing & debugging digital audio interfaces and signals requires looking at completely different parameters at the same time:
Interface carrier related parameters like level & sample frequency
Channel Status - related parameters like professional/consumer mode
Audio related parameters like audible content and level
The Digilyzer shows all these important parameter at one glance. Additionally, the built in integrity check even alerts if protocol inconsistencies,
which could cause serious troubles, are detected.

The most frequently used parameter
changes such as waveform, level and
frequency are accessible via function
keys. The sensitivity of the rotary wheel
is adjustable with the sens key.
Pink noise, White noise

Pink or White Noise is synthesized with
high spectral density, normal amplitude
distribution and with infinite cycle duration. An automated on-off cycle mode
for convenient RT60 measurements
with the Acoustilyzer AL1 is included.
Mute Key
The mute key is illuminated and
mutes the signal generator output. A
flashing backlight indicates the mute

functions simplify the process of system verification, diagnostics and repairs of even very complex audio installations. The smart user
interface aids operators of all skill levels by setting all ranges automatically and providing complete results on a single screen. The optional MiniLINK USB interface supports data storage, documentation and firmware updates.
Frequency Sweep
ML1 automatically triggers to a sweep
sequence with any step width and
records the frequency response. The
Minirator MR2 or MR-PRO may be used
as signal source. After capture all sweep
data is available.
Polarity
Finding wrongly connected speakers is
as simple as moving ML1 into the sound
field of the speaker under test and its
polarity will be displayed. The same
measurement through the XLR input is
ideal for cable tests.
THD+N
Supports Total Harmonic Distortion plus
Noise (THD+N) and 2nd to 5th selective
harmonic distortion as dB value or in %.
Input level and frequency measurement
runs in parallel and the balance indicator
finds defective cables.
Time Sweep
Intermittent faults are often hard to
find. The time sweep records the RMS
level, frequency and the THD+N value
simultaneously, helping to monitor the
audio signal during a long period of
time for later analysis.
Level
Continuously measures absolute input
levels either in volts, dBu or dBV
and the signal frequency. Relative
measurements are also supported.
Connecting MiniSPL further supports
basic SPL and LEQ measurements.
Scope
Provides a quick and robust look at the
waveform of the balanced audio signal,
quickly finding clipping amplifiers
etc. The auto-scale and auto-trigger
functionality are normally only found
in expensive stand alone scopes.
The MiniSPL is the ideal accessory for the Acoustilyzer and

Minilyzer. Its self-powered design, the individual factory adjustment and the auto power-off compel the MiniSPL to be an accurate, easy to handle yet affordable measurement microphone.

Perfect Presentations with
MiniLINKTM
The online projection of displayed results from the Minilyzer or Digilyzer
gives a new dimension to analogue and digital audio technological
training / education. It allows you to stage an entertaining, efficient
and interactive training course in audio measuring technology.
The new USB interface MiniLINK transfers the displayed results from the Minilyzer and Digilyzer to a PC (up to 10 times per
second). You see exactly the same picture on the PC screen that is
shown on the connected instruments. When a projector is used to
display the image from the PC onto a larger screen, the students
of a course are able to experience live audio measuring technology.
Interaction with Acoustic Measurements
All the participants of the course have access to visible and interesting information while studying offered themes, such as Sound
Pressure Level Curves (SPL/LEQ) or Frequency Spectrums (1/3 Octave) and, as a result, valuable, informative interaction can take
place between the measuring instruments, students and teachers.
Education, utilizing this measuring technology becomes exciting
and easier to understand.
All students of a course are able to

experience live audio measuring
technology by using MiniLINK.

Show Programming
Hippotizer comes with a complete Show Programming system
included so you dont need any external controllers. The
Timeline Programmer features a fully node-based editor
allowing you to program your show visually by recording
events or inserting them directly onto tracks. Our preset
management system allows you to create palettes of looks
and re-use elements. Add Timeline logic to bind multiple
timelines together and then use the built-in Cue Controller to
simplify the running of the final show to a straightforward
GO command. Sync your timeline to an external source to
run as a slave to SMPTE or MIDI timecode.
Alternatively for those moments where there is no time to
program a fully fledged timeline, use the Playlist feature on
each layer to schedule a sequence by dragging in the media
and pressing play.
External Control and Lighting Control

Integration
Hippotizer V3 supports a host of external protocols allowing
you to choose just how to integrate it into your show. All
systems understand DMX/ArtNet, MIDI, OSC, RS232 or
TCP/IP based protocols, each with a full set of commands
allowing you to choose between triggering the Timeline
Programmer or individual functions directly. Furthermore
we have also integrated automation protocols such as
Kinesys, Stage Technologies, Ruby and Hudson Scenic to
enable tracking of moving stage elements.
If you choose to use a lighting desk, then check out our
integration with most major desks using HMap2 or CITP,
bringing you media thumbnails and a realtime preview on
your chosen desk.

Output Mapping and Masking

The fluid nature of scenic video demands flexibility when it
comes to display configurations and their integration if users
are to have creative freedom. Hippotizer has all the tools you
need:
Use PixelMapper to send your video content to a huge
number of DMX controlled LED fixtures. Set-up is easier than
ever thanks to new auto-discovery and flexible mapping
features. If you are running Colour Kinetics devices you can
drive them directly through our implementation of Colour
Kinetics KiNet protocol.
Unlimited number of output universes

Fixture designer
Full Kinet support
Fixture auto-discovery
Drag & drop mapping interface
Use VideoMapper to send any part of your video output to

an LED tile anywhere on stage, regardless of the complexity
(and price) of the LED wall controller. Alternatively use
VideoMapper to creatively switch, fade or even morph
between different mapping configurations on the fly.
Page 11
Tile Wizard
Intuitive drag & drop interface
Scale / rotate / position and colour balance each tile
Up to 255 VideoMaps with instant switching
If you are using projection then LiveMask is probably your

first choice to mask out those parts of the set you dont want
the video to appear on. Simple to use, just paint curves and
outlines onto the output or layer to mask out those unwanted
bits.
Draw mask directly onto output or layer

Use vector-based splines or lines
Create and access up to 255 masks
Custom Rackmount Cases

Green Hippo have over 10 years experience in building
media servers for the event industry, undoubtedly one of the
toughest environments for any computer to endure. All our
systems are designed from the ground up with this in mind,
custom built with our own specialist suppliers to make sure
nothing goes wrong while living on the road. The latest
incarnations include the DVI Parrot EDID emulator integrated
into each of the HD outputs to make sure EDID issues are a
thing of the past. Optional 19 rackmount panels for the
GrassHopper and HippoCritter allow use of fully professional
connectors and easy rack access.
Custom tour-proof case designs

Professional modular breakout panels at the rear
Card retention system which holds extension cards in
place even on the toughest tour
Parrot EDID managers (optional for GrassHopper
and HippoCritter)
UberPan
Hippotizers UberPan system is designed to make super high
resolution projection systems easy and intuitive to use. Create
huge canvasses spanning multiple projectors and playback
systems. Position your outputs in the Canvas Designer, then
connect them to the outputs via HippoNet. Upload your
media to the central UberPan MediaManager and you can
start working in the same way you would work with just a
single system. UberPan will manage all connections and
media distribution for you.

twisted pair products. It is built in the versatile Max-TX series enclosure. The durable adhesives
provided with the TX-TPS3C permit permanent or removable mounting. The TX-TPS3C may
be rack or surface mounted with optional TX series accessories.
The TX-TPR3C is a three-pair audio/video receiving module compatible with RDL Format-C
twisted pair products. It is built in the versatile Max-TX series enclosure. The durable adhesives
provided with the TX TPR3C permit permanent or removable mounting. The TX-TPR3C may
be rack or surface mounted with optional TX series accessories.
The TX-TPS3C module features a BNC NTSC or PAL video input and two audio inputs, one for
the left channel source and one for the right channel source. The unbalanced RCA jack audio
inputs are designed to receive standard -10 dBV consumer level signals. Balanced +4 dBu
audio inputs are provided through a detachable terminal block. The buffered video source is
routed to pair A. The buffered left and right line-level inputs are routed to cable pairs B and C.
This module drives all three Format-C cable pairs, so it is not equipped to receive inputs from
other sender modules. The TX-TPS3C may be powered directly from a 24 Vdc power supply
using the front-panel detachable terminal block. Local power connected to the module is also
fed to all connected remote modules. The TX-TPS3C may be remotely powered through the

to the same twisted pair cable. Module power is indicated by a front-panel LED.
The TX-TPR3C features a BNC NTSC or PAL video output and two RCA audio outputs, one for
the left channel and one for the right channel. The video signal received from pair A of the
RJ45 INPUT jack feeds the BNC video output jack. A front-panel GAIN control is provided
to recover any level loss over the twisted pair cable. An EQ control allows the installer to
adjust the sharpness of the picture for high frequency losses in the cable. The audio signals
received from pairs B and C of the twisted pair cable are buffered to drive the unbalanced RCA
output jacks at the standard -10 dBV consumer level and the balanced detachable terminal
block outputs at +4 dBu.
RDL Format-C provides quality balanced video transmission over long distances, and features
superior audio performance that rivals or exceeds shielded wiring. Design simplicity, ease of
installation, unsurpassed flexibility, automatically fused power, exceptional hum rejection, low
noise, and low distortion provide designers and installers the optimum choice in economical

RDL ULTRASTYLE Design (RCX-A2)
The D/DS/RCX-A2 is a passive audio output assembly that provides one or two unbalanced
consumer level audio outputs from a balanced line-level audio source. It may be connected to
the +4 dBu line level output of any RDL product, even if that output is simultaneously feeding
other equipment. The D/DS/RCX-A2 circuit design provides a high degree of audio isolation if
a user accidentally feeds a consumer-level source into the D/DS/RCX-A2. The attenuation of
such reverse signals is sufficient for most installations. Active RDL modules are available for
complete isolation if required. The D/DS/RCX-A2 output jacks are transformer isolated from
the balanced line input, and the input shield is separated from the case ground to reduce the
possibility of induced hum. The D/DS/RCX-A2 is not intended as an audio input panel.
The D/DS/RCX-A2 fits directly into back boxes, available from RDL, to fit cabinets or US or
international walls (RDL WB-1U). It may also be mounted directly into cabinets or most
standard US single gang electrical boxes.

Two-Channel Remote Control
RC2-STS

RC2-ST
RC4-RUS
The front panel of the RC2-ST features two pushbuttons with two associated LEDs.
Upon initial power-up, source 1 is selected. Touching the other button de-selects
source 1 and immediately selects source 2. An LED adjacent to each button shows which
source is selected.
In a typical installation, the RC2-ST may be used to select between two audio or video
sources, or to route audio to two destinations. To select between two audio sources, the
RC2-ST is connected to an RDL ST-SSR1 Solid-State Audio Switch. For video switching, an
RDL TX-MVX may be used. For audio routing, an RDL ST-RX2 is used. In each of the above
examples, only one output terminal is needed for triggering. Therefore a single shielded
pair (or 3-conductor cable) is required for remote connection. For more complex switching
networks, both outputs may be used.
In installations where ULTRASTYLE wall controls are preferred, use the RUC-4 Universal
Remote Control.

DSSOLFDWLRQV7KHNEDODQFHGLQSXWDFFHSWVDZLGHYDULHW\RIPLFURSKRQHLQSXWOHYHOV
without loading professional low impedance microphones. A multi-turn trimmer is user
adjustable for either gain or loss in order to match the facility standard microphone levels.
Three balanced outputs provide nearly total isolation between the output lines. Unlike
mic-splitting transformer systems, the STM-DA3 also provides audio isolation. In fact, the
audio isolation is so good that a +4 dBu signal fed into one output is still below the noise
floor on the adjacent output. Loading of one output, including a direct short, has no effect
on the other outputs.
The STM-DA3 is built on the electrical architecture of RDLs low- noise studio quality mic
preamplifiers. Dynamic or condenser microphones may be used with the STM-DA3. Standard
24 V phantom is supplied to the input when the supply voltage is connected to the PHM
terminal. Optimum operating level is set using RDLs unique Dual-LED VU meter, located
adjacent to the terminal block. A green LED illuminates at 15 dB below optimum level. The
intensity of the green LED progresses from minimum to full intensity over a 15 dB range.
The adjacent red LED illuminates when the operating level exceeds the optimum level. This
makes the STM-DA3 easy to set up without any external test equipment, and operating levels
may be monitored at the module.
For Mic to Line level distribution, use RDLs STM-LDA3 shown in the Microphone Products
section.

Attenuation > 25 dB @ 200 MHz
The ST-FS6 is used in applications where an excessive RF level is induced in the audio cables
producing audio interference in the system. It is not necessary to use all 6 input/output
channels, and wiring configurations may vary according to the application. For example,
INPUTS 1 and 2 may be used to suppress a single pair while the shield for that pair is connected
to ground. In other installations, it may be desired to also ferrite suppress the shield. In
this instance, 1 and 2 may be used for signal and INPUT 3 used for the shield. The ST-FS6
may be used with shielded or unshielded audio cables. With shielded cables, the best RF
suppression is often achieved by suppressing the signal conductors while tying the shield
to ground (either earth or rack). For such installations, the ST-FS6 provides two ground
screw terminals for shield connection. These two terminals are not internally connected in
the module. They serve as a tie point for connecting shields to ground. These terminals are
not used when unshielded cable is being suppressed.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION: The ST-FS6 module is a passive device with six identical
channels. All inputs are fed through a series of ferrite RF suppressors to their respective
outputs. All channels are isolated from each other so that any connection scheme may be
used to suit an installation.

The HR-MP2 is a dual channel microphone preamplifier with line-level outputs. Each section
provides identical rear-panel signal connections and front-panel controls.
Each preamplifier is equipped with a front-panel FILTER switch to enable or disable a
6 dB/octave low-cut filter with a -3 dB cutoff at 80 Hz. Two additional switches on each input
select 24 V or 48 V phantom if the master PHANTOM power selector is ON. The INPUT PAD
switch allows the operator to attenuate the input signal by 15 dB prior to the preamplifier
input stage, increasing the maximum input level from +5 dBu (attenuator out) to greater than
+20 dBu. A POLARITY switch provides signal polarity reversal if needed. The GAIN control
provides continuous adjustment between 20 dB and 60 dB. An RDL Dual-LED VU meter is
provided adjacent to each gain control. The meters are calibrated to indicate +4 dBu at the
associated balanced output. A separate CLIP LED flashes if a signal peak is within 3 dB of
clipping. The trigger threshold of the CLIP LED is 17 dB above a normal +4 dBu output.
The HR-MP2 offers exceptional input headroom, wide flat frequency response and extremely
low noise with very high common-mode signal rejection. Total harmonic distortion and
crosstalk are below the noise floor, allowing the HR-MP2 to be operated as a stereo preamplifier
or as two separate mono preamplifiers.
Each preamplifier provides three balanced line-level output formats: XLR male, detachable
terminal block and TRS. A separate summing amplifier provides a combined mono output
on a line-level detachable terminal block. Balanced outputs may be wired unbalanced. The
rear panel also provides a detachable terminal block and a power input jack to connect
24 Vdc power.

RDLs exclusive low-noise discrete preamplifier circuitry produces studio-quality low-noise

performance in an economical preamplifier. Dynamic or condenser microphones may be
used with the STM-LDA3. Standard 24V phantom is supplied to the input when the supply
voltage is connected to the PHM terminal. Optimum operating level is set using RDLs unique
dual-LED VU meter, located adjacent to the terminal block. A green LED illuminates at 15 dB
below a +4 dBu output. The intensity of the green LED progresses from minimum to full
intensity at +4 dBu. The adjacent red LED illuminates when the operating level exceeds +4.
This makes the STM-LDA3 easy to set up without any external test equipment, and operating
levels may be monitored at the module.

input range is from 24 to 33 Vdc. Operation from 12 Vdc is possible with a 6 dB reduction
in headroom. Each output drives high or low impedance loads.

The TX-LC2 is the ideal choice in installations requiring the active,
isolated mixing of two unbalanced line-level audio sources to feed
a balanced (or unbalanced) audio line.
The input circuits are high-impedance, line-level (-10 dBV) and
are each isolated from each other. Therefore the modules may be
used to bridge an unbalanced stereo source without affecting the
stereo separation. The output from the TX-LC2 is a mono mix
of the stereo signal. Gain of the combined signals is adjustable
from unity to 14 dB.
The TX-LC2 may also be used to mix two separate sources into a
single output. The mixing circuit in the module is an active summing amplifier.
Audio
The input connectors make connection of the TX-LC2 easy. The gain range makes the TX-LC2
ideally suited to any installation where a balanced mono signal is needed from a stereo
unbalanced source, particularly low-output consumer products such as certain televisions.

The TX-MX2R is the ideal choice in installations requiring the

active, isolated mixing of two unbalanced line-level audio sources
to feed either one or two unbalanced destinations.
The input circuits are high-impedance, line-level (-10 dBV) and
are each isolated from each other. Therefore the modules may
be used to bridge an unbalanced stereo source without affecting
the stereo separation. Each output from the TX-MX2R is a mono
mix of the stereo signal. Normally, the gain trimmers are set to
unity gain. If either channel is low, the gain of that channel may
be adjusted up to 6 dB.
The TX-MX2R may also be used to mix two separate sources into a single output. The mixing
circuit in the module is an active summing amplifier.
The output driver provides two separate, identical output signals from the input signal or
signals. This output distribution amplifier therefore allows the TX-MX2R to be used as a
two-output audio distribution amplifier. If it is desired to distribute a single source to two
destinations, one of the inputs may be left unused without any loss of performance.

controlling a separate audio band. These bands were carefully selected to yield a module that
works effectively in a wide variety of systems. Each bands center frequency can be either
boosted or attenuated by at least 12 dB. The RU-EQ2 has two front-panel knobs. The Q of
these low and high band equalizers was selected so that those controls can be functionally
considered as a total bass band or treble band control.
The RU-EQ3 adds a third control. This midrange control is optimized to voice band adjustment,
with the overlap tailored to provide smooth operation for wideband music applications.
A feature unique to the RU-EQ series is the OVERLOAD indicating LED. When audio signals
are equalized, the boosted level can cause the output circuit to clip. Unlike many products
which show only input clipping, the OVERLOAD indicator flashes if either the input or output
stage clips.

The RU-ADL2 is a DSP based dual-output delay for an analog audio source. It provides
exceptional audio performance for the most critical applications in a professional audio
environment. The RU-ADL2 accepts a single monaural audio input and provides two separate
monaural outputs. The time delay on each output is individually adjustable from 0 to 135 mS.
A large, bright 3-digit LED numeric display on the front panel shows the time delay set for
each of the two outputs. A locking pushbutton switch selects the output to be displayed
and adjusted. Time adjustment is made in 1 mS increments using durable keyboard style
pushbuttons on the front panel. If a button is held, the time will first ramp slowly, then more
rapidly permitting easy course and fine adjustment of the time delay. A locking pushbutton
permits the user to completely bypass and return to the DSP time delay section without
losing the stored delay values. Time delay values are stored in a non-volatile memory so the
RU-ADL2 returns to the correct settings following any interruption of power.

The ST-CL2 is a high performance compressor/limiter designed to maintain a constant average

output level and effective peak control over a wide range of input levels. The input and output
are line level and each may be wired balanced or unbalanced. Trimmers provide adjustment
for all usual professional and consumer audio input and output levels. Internal detectors feed
three timing circuits. The threshold level and slope of each timing circuit are incremented to
respond sequentially to signals of varying amplitude and energy levels. The ST-CL2 features
a soft-knee compression threshold and compression ratio which automatically adjust to the
program material. Two LED indicators cover the incremental ranges of compression, making
setting of the input level quick and easy. Two ST-CL2s may be strapped together for stereo
operation by connecting the coupling terminals between the two modules.

The ST-GCA3 constantly adjusts for changes in input levels, bringing up low levels,
and reducing gain for high levels. The audio level is constantly adjusted to maintain
the correct output. The AGC adjustment rate is switch-selectable. Making audio levels
uniform and consistent improves the performance of nearly any type of audio system, and
the ST-GCA3 SLOW mode is ideal for leveling music sources. The FAST setting of the
ST-GCA3 makes it ideal for use in systems prone to loud bursts of audio, and inconsistent
levels which must be constantly and quickly corrected. In paging systems, intercom systems,
and mic mixing applications where intelligibility is a must the ST-GCA3 FAST mode can be
the key to optimum performance.

The ST-SSR1 was designed for silent switching of audio signals. It supports two balanced
line-level inputs and one balanced output. Each can be used unbalanced as well. The ST-SSR1
is perfect for switching between two input signals or as a silent On/Off switch for a single
channel. Performance is in keeping with the technical standards for which RDL has become
known. The user can program the module for either fast or soft switching.
The SELECT input feeds the OUTPUT when the TRIG terminal is grounded, otherwise the
OUTPUT is fed by the NORMAL input.
The control current required at the TRIG terminal is so minimal (< 0.5 mA) that the ST-SSR1
can be controlled from nearly any source from switches to logic circuits.
The ST-SSR1 may be controlled using the RDL RC2-ST, RT2 or RUC-4 remote controls.

The AV-HK1 is a stereo transformer isolation module for use with unbalanced, high impedance
audio inputs. Input and output connections are provided on gold-plated phono jacks. The
AV-HK1 is supplied with two adapter cables to facilitate connecting with products that use
mini-plugs and jacks.
The shield connection of each INPUT jack is electrically isolated from the case and from the
output ground. The shield connection of each OUTPUT jack is connected to the case shield.
The user audio source, such as a computer, CD player, cassette player or other consumer
audio product, connects to the AV-HK1 INPUT. The OUTPUT should be connected to the input
of the grounded amplifier or mixer in the audio system.
The AV-DC4 is a mono transformer-coupled audio divider/combiner module for use with
balanced, low or high impedance audio inputs and outputs. Input and output connections are

jacks on a particular channel are normally connected to ground. The GND LIFT switch on each
channel is used to disconnect the shield from circuit ground at audio frequencies.
Galvanic isolation between each of the channels is provided by a studio quality audio
transformer. The AV-DC4 breaks the ground loop connection that can produce hum in a
sound system. The input connector shield does provide a radio frequency ground return,
thereby preserving system immunity to radio interference.
Input and output jacks are oriented left (L) and right (R) when the user is facing each end
panel. The correct channel orientation is indicated on the front panel of the module.
The AV-HK1 is a rugged product designed for portable use. For fixed installations, a mounting
bracket is included. Many consumer audio inputs and outputs use stereo mini-plugs and jacks.
The AV-HK1 includes two adapter cables to interface with these products. The cable kits are
also available separately from RDL in the event a cable becomes worn or lost.

The four channels allow multiple uses for the AV-DC4. A single mono audio source can be
divided to feed one, two or three mono equipment inputs. A stereo source can be combined
to mono, feeding one or two mono equipment inputs. A mono source can be divided to feed
a stereo equipment input (left and right). A stereo source can be combined to mono and
simultaneously be divided to feed the mono signal to both the left and right inputs of stereo
equipment. Ground lift may be selected individually on any of the channels.

The ST-VCA3 is used in applications requiring smooth audio level control from a remote control
panel, potentiometer or dc voltage (0 to 10 V). Installation in series with the audio input of
a power amplifier allows remote control of that amplifiers level. For installations where it
is preferred to keep the audio localized in the rack, audio controls are extended outside the
rack from the ST-VCA3. Many installations benefit from avoiding long-term potentiometer
wear from audio running through the potentiometer. An ST-VCA3 with external dc control
provides virtual immunity from scratchy audio. Audio/video system control units often provide
0 to 10 Vdc control outputs that can directly control audio levels using an ST-VCA3. The
ST-VCA3 is primarily intended for line-level attenuation; a high quality utility microphone
preamplifier is included in the module. If remote control of a microphone preamplifier is
desired, such as a wall mounted level control for a microphone jack, the ST-VCA3 may serve
as a remote controlled microphone preamplifier.

used. A coaxial input has priority over the optical input. Three output jacks are also provided:
BNC, phono and optical. Either of the coaxial jacks may be used and/or the optical output may
be connected. It is possible to use only one of the three outputs or use one coaxial and the
optical output simultaneously. A front-panel SIGNAL LED illuminates when an input signal
of sufficient amplitude is received to produce the correct output from the module.

The HR-ADC1 is a broadcast quality A/D converter that provides exceptional audio accuracy
and clarity with any audio source or style. Superior analog performance fine tuned through
audiophile listening practices produces very low distortion (0.0006%), exceedingly low
noise (-135 dB) and remarkably flat frequency response (+/- 0.05 dB). This performance
is coupled with unparalleled metering flexibility and programmability with average mastering
level monitoring and peak value storage. With external sync capability plus front-panel settings
up to 24 bits and up to 192 kHz sample rate, the HR-ADC1 is the single instrument needed
for A/D conversion in demanding applications.
The HR-ADC1 accepts balanced +4 dBu or unbalanced -10 dBV stereo audio through rear

Front panel LEFT and RIGHT controls permit input gain adjustment to produce the desired
average signal level for the digital conversion. The zero decibel (0 dB) reference level of
the audio metering string may be set to -14, -16, -18 or -20 dBFS. The meter may also be
set to display peak or VU average audio levels. Audio peaks between -10 dBFS and 0 dBFS
(clipping) are displayed separately to the right of the standard audio level meter. The peak
display may be set to either flash or store the peak values. Flash duration settings provide for
instantaneous, 1/3 second hold or 2/3 second hold. If the peak display is set to STORE then
the highest peak recorded remains displayed until the PEAK RESET button is pushed.
The HR-ADC1 provides rear-panel inputs for an external sync source. If valid external sync is
FRQQHFWHGWKH(;7(51$/6<1&/2&./('LOOXPLQDWHV7KHIURQWSDQHO6<1&EXWWRQVHWVWKH
converter to synchronize to the external source. When external sync is not used, the HR-ADC1
converts at the sample rate selected using the front-panel RATE button. The number of BITS
is user-selectable on the front panel. The peak LEDs double as the programming indicators
during setup. The MODE MENU has four selection categories: METERING RSP (peak or average
response) for the main audio meter; METERING 0 REF (sets meter scaling to -14, -16, 18
or -20 dBFS for a 0 dB reading); DISPLAY BRT (sets LED display brightness for ambient
light); DISPLAY PEAK (sets peak LED string to FLASH, hold 1/3 second, hold 2/3 second, or
STORE the maximum peak reading. Programming selections are automatically stored after
five seconds and are retained in memory when the HR-ADC1 is re-powered.
The HR-ADC1 is powered from 24 Vdc, which may be connected through the detachable
terminal block or through the dc power jack. A front-panel power switch is provided. For
installations requiring fixed, calibrated input levels, the HR-ADC1 front-panel knobs may
be removed and replaced with security covers, available separately (RDL SC-2A Kit of two

The RU-VSQ4 is the ideal choice in most applications where up to four video signals need
to be sequenced to a single output. The RU-VSQ4 has two rear-panel jacks for each of
the four video bridging input stages. One jack is for the input signal; the other is a loopWKURXJKRXWSXWRIWKHVRXUFHVLJQDO,IWHUPLQDWLRQRIWKHLQSXWVLJQDOLVUHTXLUHGWKH

The front panel features four high-reliability keyboard style pushbuttons with LED indicators
corresponding to each video input. When power is initially applied, the RU-VSQ4 sequences
between the video inputs at the interval set on the recessed front-panel RATE control. If the
button for an active source is pushed, the sequencing stops and the output displays that input.
While the unit is holding at that video source, the HOLD LED flashes. When the operator
again pushes the button for that channel, the sequencing resumes. If an unselected source
button is pushed, that source is immediately selected. When a video source is selected,
an open-collector output on the rear panel is provided to control other equipment (RDL
