SSL Live Installation Information
Page 31 of 45
Connections - Key
*1 - Mains Power Connector
Connector Type - IEC 60320 - C13
Note: Some PSUs fitted have a ‘Zero RPM’ mode that allows the fan to remain off with low to medium
loads. The PSU uses various temperature and output sensors to determine when active cooling is
required. The switch is located on the rear of the PSU next to the AC power switch.
SSL Live consoles always ship with this mode disabled (Off) so that the fan is permanently running,
however because of the low-noise nature of the fan, under low loads it is unlikely to be heard and so
it is the choice of individual users whether this is enabled or not.
*2 - MADI
BNC Coaxial MADI connections
Coaxial MADI
BNC connectors must conform to IEC 60169-8.
Cable should be 75 Ohm coax to at least Belden 1694F Low Loss Serial Digital Coax standard.
Specification for Belden cable can be found here:
edesk.belden.com/products/techdata/metric/pdf/1694F.pdf
SSL recommends that cable assemblies should have a 360º connection between cable shield and the
connector in order to maintain electromagnetic compatibility.
Cables runs between Console or Blacklight-MADI Concentrators and Stageboxes up to 75 meters.
Higher quality cable/connections can support up to 100 meters.
