The module slots for the entire master section are entirely
different as far as the wiring pcb’s in the frame are concerned.
These boards contain the assignment of the main master
busses and the auxilliarie busses the the corresponding master
amplifiers. There are also a couple of configuration options for
custom modifications and add ons as well as special console
versions. If you’re in doubt if your console has some special
features that affect the connector pinning, please ask.
While the master section requires a total of 5 or 6 module slots
to be fully functional, most frames add another 3 to 5 slots
right next to the master section. These slots are usually used
for the keyboard of the optional automation system and/or vca
group modules; however they can be used for customers remote
switches, other keyboards, mouse pads, etc. We recommend to
include an appropriate number of free slots to have some free
space available.
Pinning
Only 3-Pin XLR connectors and female 25-pin D-Sub connectors
are used for all audio connections of the entire console. The only
exception is the 1⁄4“ TRS jack for the control room headphones
that can be installed as an option. If a patch-bay is installed in
a particular console, the type of jacks that are used depend on
customers specification. The standard version is the commonly
used Tiny Telephone connector.
XLR 3-Pin connectors use the standard connection scheme with
+ on 2, - on 3 and screen on 1. The 25-pin D-Sub connectors
use the common “Tascam” pinning with 8 balanced audio lines.
See the drawing on the right side of this page and on the next
page for details. The different pinnings of the D-Sub connectors
are descibed in detail below.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
All D-Sub connectors use UNC4-40 fixing nuts.
