1 Introduction
A three way electronically interlocking illuminated switch bank selects the
source routed to the loudspeaker and headphone outputs from either PGM,
REC or from an additional unbalanced stereo RCA phono input EXT 1. This
external input can be used for monitoring an off air signal or studio output.
Green illuminated AUTO CUE/PFL (pre fade listen) buttons adjacent to each
level control allow the automatic monitoring of any channel that has been
selected to pre-fade, either to the monitors or headphones.
For the presenter headphones, SPLIT CUE/PFL can be selected which places
the selected source in mono in the left ear, and pre-fade in mono in the
right ear.
Metering
A pair of bright 21 segment LED meters can be configured to show either
VU or PPM metering. The meters follow the selection of the presenter
headphones including any pre-fade or split pre-fade function.
Talkback
A separate TALKBACK button is provided to allow the presenter to talk to
a guest on the guest headphones. The S0 v2 uses input channel 1 as the
talkback source.
Channel Remotes
The remote outputs for each channel are highly configurable providing a
comprehensive range of options to interface external equipment to the
mixer. Each channel input has its own START and STOP remote controls
which can be triggered when the channel is routed to the PGM or REC bus
and the fader is opened or closed. The remotes can be set-up to be either
pulsed or continuous latched outputs, and if in pulsed mode the START
button has the capability to produce repeated start pulses.
Configuration Settings
The S0 v2 has a range of software configurable options which can be used
to customize the operation of the mixer. It is possible to enable or disable
specific inputs, enable phantom power for the microphone channels and
limit which buses each channel can be routed to. Other settings control
auto cancelling of PRE FADE when the channel fader is opened and all the
remote output configurations.
The S0 v2 has an integral universal switch mode power supply, which uses
an IEC mains inlet.
Installation Notes
Atmosphere
The S0 v2 mixer should be installed in an area which is not subject to
excessive heat or cold. Also, you should avoid installing it in atmospheric
conditions which are dusty, smoky or dirty, or where there is moisture or
vibration. Do not use any liquids to clean the fascia of the mixer: a soft dry
brush is ideal. Use a clean cloth moistened with water or ethyl alcohol to
clean the trim. Other solvents may cause damage to paint or plastic parts.
Electromagnetic Radiation
Avoid using the S0 v2 mixer close to strong sources of electromagnetic
radiation such as, video monitors or high power electric cabling. This
may cause degradation of the audio quality due to induced voltages in
connecting leads and chassis. In all cases the S0 v2 mixer should be installed
and serviced by qualified personnel.
