Physical Requirements
Console Control Surface Layout
• Consoles are available fitted with 24, 48, 72 or 96 input channels. Other channel quantities are not available.
• The centre section can be located to the right of any 24 channel section (ie. not at the left-hand end of the console).
• A 19” section fitted with 12U of racking is available. These sections can be used for rack mounted outboard equipment
and are also used if the console is fitted with an internal patchbay – see ‘Patchbay Options’ below.
• A Producer’s Table section is also available. This assembly is 603mm wide and is fitted with a flat, full-depth table. Cable
access covers are located at the rear corners of the table.
• Angled corners (12°) can be fitted where the centre section or any 24-channel/rack/table section is joined.
Patch sections cannot be placed directly to the left of the centre section.
The console is a self-contained system; there are no remote power supplies or I/O racks. The frame is not fitted with
cooling fans.
Power, audio and control connections are all made to the rear of the console. A cable tray is fitted along the rear lower
edge of the frame to support connecting cables. Console legs are hollow and fitted with a removable rear panel so that
installation cables can be concealed inside. Corresponding floor ducting will be necessary to take full advantage of this
feature. (The 48-channel console is also fitted with a centre leg. This leg is of reduced depth which is insufficient to
accommodate the number of cables from a 24-channel bay).
See Appendix E, page 62, for console footprint drawings.
Patchbay Options
The console may optionally be supplied with a bantam patchbay. Patchbays can be fitted internally to the console or may
be remotely mounted into furniture or racks supplied by the facility.
The number of patchrow sections supplied is dependant upon console size; 24 or 48-channel console will require a single
19” section whereas the patch for 72 and 96 channel frames will require 2 off 19” sections.
See Appendix D, page 57, for patchbay layouts.
Patchbays are assembled using individual 1U Bantam patch modules. For internal patchbays these modules will be wired
down to a connector panel mounted at the rear of the patch section legs.
Patchbay Connectors – D25 or DL96
The standard patch internal patch connector panel is fitted with 25-way D-type connectors.
To simplify the integration into a facility with existing cabling, patchbays may optionally be wired out to female DL96
connectors mounted at the rear of the patch section.
Each 1U patchrow is a self-contained connectorised unit. The normalling between each pair of upper and lower jacks is
set using normalling links or by internal switches. The normalling on user-option patchrows can therefore be configured as
required. Information showing how to set the normalling links is printed on the cover of each patchrow unit and in Appendix
D on page 57.
See page 22 for additional information relating to patchbays.
