ACS 8.2 Eight Input, Dual Output StereoMatrix Audio Control Switcher

DESCRIPTION

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

Front Panel:

The ACS 8.2 is a 1-rack unit device (19”w x 1.75”h x 10”d).  The front panel sup-
ports fourteen selection switches, 23 LED indicators, headphone selection switch,
headphone jack and headphone level control.

Rear Panel:

Installation is simplified with pluggable screw terminals.  The rear panel hosts audio
and control pluggable screw terminals, input/output trimmer controls, multi-drop
RS-232 modular connector and 7-pin DIN power supply connector.

Switches:

The front panel of the ACS 8.2 contains selection pushbuttons for each input chan-
nel.  A mute switch is provided to turn off each audio channel, while the enable
switch may be configured as a safety switch.  Fade up, down and dim push buttons
are provided for inputs assigned to output one.  A push-push switch is furnished for
headphone monitoring of the two output channels.  Input channels may be pro-
grammed for the following operations:

• Overlap - Overlap one audio source with another while the button for the sec-

ond source is held down.  Both channels will be fed to the output until the sec-
ond button is released, at which time the first audio source will be switched off.  

• Mix - May connect more than one input at a time to any given output - Push once

to connect input, again to disconnect. 

• Interlock - Connecting one input to any output disconnects all other inputs from

that output. 

LED Indicators:

The ACS 8.2’s front panel LED indicators provide operational display of the fol-
lowing information:

• Led indicators on each input switch displaying which output channel the input

is assigned.

• The mute indicator is lit when all channels are off.
• Two “ACT” led’s indicating audio activity for each output channel.  Sensitivity

set at –37db.

• Two “SS” led’s indicating when an output channel has drop below –37db.
•  “PIP”

port is receiving or transmitting data.
