VENUE SC48 Expansion Options
The following options can be added to VENUE SC48 systems.
For details on all VENUE systems and options, visit the Digide-
sign website (www.digidesign.com).
Each SC48 supports a maximum of three input cards and two
output cards.
Inputs
You can replace any of the three input cards with a new
AI16 Analog Input card.
Outputs
Output can be expanded to up to 32 channels for ex-
panded analog output, for mixed analog/digital output, or for
personal monitoring.
• Analog outputs can be expanded by installing an addi-
tional AO16 Analog Output card.
• Analog and digital output can be added by installing an
XO16 Analog/Digital Output card, providing eight
digital output channels in addition to eight more analog
outputs.
• For personal monitor mixing, the AT16 A-Net Output
card can be added to integrate VENUE SC48 with
Aviom® networks and Pro16
TM
Series mixers.
Operational Requirements
Temperature and Ventilation
VENUE units should be operated away from heat sources and
with adequate ventilation.
Storage
VENUE SC48 should be stored and transported at tempera-
tures not lower than 0 degrees F (–18 degrees C) and not
exceeding 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
Operation
VENUE SC48 should be operated at temperatures not lower
than 40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and not exceeding
104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
During operation, the front and back panels of VENUE SC48
should be exposed to ambient air. Do not block the ventila-
tion holes on any VENUE SC48 component.
Do not operate in direct sunlight or at extreme ambient tem-
peratures.
Water and Moisture
VENUE units should be operated away from sources of direct
moisture and should be kept clear of liquids that might spill
into the units. If condensation is present on the unit, leave the
unit to dry in ambient air for at least one hour before power-
ing the unit on.
Cleaning and Maintenance
If you need to clean the VENUE SC48 top surface, use a dry
cloth. Do not apply any cleaning solutions, spray cleaners, or
abrasives to the surface.
Connection Requirements
Power Connections
Each unit requires its own power connection for primary
power, and for redundant power on systems with dual PSUs.
Make sure your power source is correctly rated for the number
of units you are connecting. A surge-protected power source
(not included) is highly recommended.
VENUE SC48 power supplies are capable of operating at 50 to
60 Hz across a voltage range of 100 to 240 V.
SC48 with Redundant PSUs
When using an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) it is rec-
ommended to connect one of the console power supplies to
the UPS and the other directly to house power.
Audio Connections
All VENUE SC48 analog audio inputs and outputs (except
Headphones) are balanced XLR or balanced 1/4-inch connec-
tions. All VENUE SC48 external digital audio inputs and out-
puts are AES/EBU (XLR) connections.
Hardware monitoring and automatic warnings are provided
for temperature, power and other factors. For more informa-
tion, see “Hardware Monitoring Window” on page 230.
Humidity ranges for storage and operation
Storage humidity range
5% to 95%, non-condensing
Operating humidity range
20% to 80%, non-condensing
For more information on audio connectors and specifica-
tions, see Chapter 26, “Audio Specifications.”
