Architect’s & Engineer’s Specifications - Centur y TC
The live sound console shall be constructed in a modular fashion and be housed in a steel frame with molded plastic side panels. The console shall be black with white labeling and utilize XLR lighting
device connectors. The console shall have an XLR talkback mic connector and a headphone jack. These shall be located beneath the far right side of the armrest. All microphone inputs shall be elec-
tronically balanced and accessed via 3-pin XLR connectors and have an EIN of -129 dBu. All line inputs shall be electronically balanced and accessed via 1/4” TRS jacks. The insert points shall be via 1/4”
TRS jacks. Each input channel shall have: a +48 volt phantom power switch, a -15 dB mic pad switch, a 80Hz high pass filter switch, a polarity reverse switch and 4-band (LF-80Hz, LMF-100Hz-2kHz,
HMF-400Hz-8kHz, HF-10kHz) mid-sweepable EQ and an EQ In switch. Each input channel shall also have: a FET controlled (10 millisecond ramp) mute switch with LED, sub-group assignment switch-
es, a L/R assignment switch, a dedicated mono assignment switch, a dynamic signal present LED and peak LED, a PFL switch, and a 100mm long throw fader. Each input channel shall have eight aux-
iliary sends which shall be controlled via six knobs and four switches. The aux sends shall have a pre/post fader switch for every four sends. The aux sends shall be selectable pre or post EQ and pre or
post mute. There shall be an Aux 8 direct switch that shall allow the Aux 8 rotary knob to directly control the output of the 1/4” direct out TRS jack.The console shall be available in four or eight bus
configurations. Each group module shall have a ten-segment LED meter array. The effect return section of each group module shall have a gain control, a two-band fixed EQ, sub-group assignment
switches, a L/R assignment switch, a dedicated mono assignment switch, two aux send controls, a pan control, a level control, a dynamic signal present LED and peak LED, and a PFL switch. The remain-
der of the group module shall have a pan control, a mute switch with LED, assignment switches for: mono and L/R. A PFL switch, dynamic signal present LED and peak LED, and a 100mm long throw
fader shall also be provided on the group module.The master section shall be four modules in width and have the following features: eight aux master controls with associated AFL switches, a 100mm
long throw fader for each of the three master outputs and a comprehensive talkback system. The standard power supply shall be housed in a 14 ga. steel chassis that shall occupy two 19” rack spaces.
The power supply shall have the ability to be daisy-chained to additional power supplies to provide a fail-safe operating environment. Connection of two or more power supplies shall not require addi-
tional interface hardware other than the provided cable. The live sound console shall be: the Crest Consoles Century TC.
