Installing the Nova73
AES3 Rear Connector Panels
Ø
Nova73 HD
Optionally, the Nova73 HD can be fitted with D-Sub and/or BNC AES3 rear connector panels. These provide
connections for any front -mounted AES3 modules (of type 981/02 or 981/04). The two panel types can be mixed
allowing up to 8 rear connector panels:
·
D-Sub, 8HP (980/14) - AES3, balanced 110 Ω
·
BNC, 16HP (980/15) - AES3-id, unbalanced 75 Ω
See Nova73 Rear Connector Panels for pin-out information.
The position of the rear connector panels determines the slot numbers which MUST be used for front -
mounted AES3 modules. Therefore, it is important to fit the rear panels BEFORE mounting any plug-in
modules.
1. Establish the first free slot (seen from the right) at the rear of the frame.
2. Remove the existing dummy plate if fitted.
Note that dummy plates are 8HP wide. If you want to mount a connector panel with a width of 16HP you will need
to remove two dummy plates.
3. Position the connector panel so that the inscription is legible!
4. Fasten the connector panel with its 4 screws.
5. Repeat for every connector panel/dummy plate.
Warning
Where no connector panels are required please cover the rear of the frame with dummy plates of the
type 980/13.
