Technical Requirements
Sync Source
The Duality
F
use console does not require a synchronisation signal.
Power Connections
The console is fitted with auto-sensing power supplies which will function at any voltage from 100 to 240 volts ±10%.
Each console is supplied with one IEC mains power lead for every 24 channel bay (the centre section is powered by the
bay to its left). A 48ch console is therefore supplied with two power leads (a 72ch console has three and 96ch with four).
The leads provided are 2m in length and wires are colour-coded according to the EC standard.
• A separate power outlet for each 24ch section should be provided beneath the console. Power leads included are
unterminated at the supply end to facilitate each user’s preferred connection method.
• An additional power outlet will be needed to power the Fusion section.
• Each power outlet provided should be able to be switched and must be protected by a fuse.
• It is recommended that there be provision for all supply outlets to be switched concurrently so that the console can
be switched on or off by a single action.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, plug each power supply cord into separate branch circuits employing separate service
grounds.
Refer to Appendix A, page 50, for console power ratings.
UPS Provision
Where either the primary or backup supply of mains power is provided from an uninterruptable source (UPS) the output
waveform of the UPS equipment must be of the sinusoidal variety. Switched or stepped output waveforms may cause
damage to the console power supplies so must not be used.
Air Conditioning
The power dissipated by a 48 channel Duality
F
use console is approximately 1,540W (2,200W for 72ch and 2,860 for
96ch). When all the studio equipment is taken into consideration, particularly if additional lighting is being installed, the
combined heat output could be sufficient to cause the temperature to rise to uncomfortable levels. It is therefore likely
that air conditioning will be required.
Please refer to the SSL environmental specifications and the additional note relating to humidity levels when planning an air
conditioning system Appendix F, page 67.
Grounding
A standard system should not require any additional grounding over and above that supplied by a correctly installed mains
supply. All console metalwork is permanently bonded to mains earth. A permanent earth connection via the mains inlet
must be provided.
A console chassis connection is provided adjacent to the XLR input for channel one at the rear of the console.
All audio connectors have their screen pins connected directly to the chassis at the point of entry to comply with AES/
EBU grounding and EMC standards.
Workstation interface
DAW interfacing is available via standard MIDI 5-pin DIN connectors or over ipMIDI.
Space for a pointing device such as a trackpad, trackball or mouse is provided underneath the Fusion section, adjacent to
the Group faders.
