USA Class A Computing Device

Information To User. Warning:

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate ra-

dio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used

as directed by this manual, it may cause interference

to radio communication. This equipment complies

with the limits for a Class A computing device, as

specied by FCC Rules, Part 15, Subpart J, which

are designed to provide reasonable protection against

such interference when this type of equipment is op-

erated in a commercial environment. Operation of

this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause

interference. If it does, the user will be required to

eliminate the interference at the user’s expense.

NOTE: Objectionable interference to TV or radio re-

ception can occur if other devices are connected to

this device without the use of shielded interconnect

cables. FCC rules require the use of only shielded

cables.

Canada Warning:

“This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A

limits for radio noise emissions set out in the Radio

Interference Regulations of the Canadian Depart-

ment of Communications.” “Le present appareil

numerRadiusue n’emet pas de bruits radioelectrique

depassant les limites applicables aux appareils nu-

merRadiusues (de les Class A) prescrites dans le

Reglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique par le

ministere des Communications du Canada.”

CE Conformance Information:

This device complies with the requirements of the

EEC Council Directives: 93/68/EEC (CE Marking);

73/23/EEC (Safety – low voltage directive); 89/336/

EEC (electromagnetic compatibility). Conformity is

declared to those standards: EN50081-1, EN50082-1.

Important Safety Information

ELECTRICAL WARNING

If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by

the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equip-

ment may be impaired. The installation and servicing

instructions in this manual are for use by qualied per-

sonnel only. To avoid Electric Shock, do not perform

any servicing other than that contained in the operating

instructions unless you are qualied to do so. Refer all

servicing to trained service personnel.

When using this equipment, the following safety pre-

cautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of

re, electric shock, and injury to people.

• Read and understand all instructions.

• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the

equipment.

• Installation must be performed in accordance with

all national wiring rules.

Caution: DOUBLE POLE/NEUTRAL FUSING

The Axia QOR power supply incorporates an inter-

nal fuse. Hazardous voltages may still be present on

some of the primary parts even when the fuse has

blown. If fuse replacement is required, replace fuse

only with same type and value for continued protec-

tion against re.

This product’s power cord is the primary disconnect

device. To prevent risk of electric shock, disconnect

power cord before servicing. The outlet to which this

equipment is connected must be installed near the

equipment, and must always be readily accessible.

The unit should not be positioned such that access to

the power cord is impaired. If the unit is incorporat-

ed into a rack, an easily accessible safety disconnect

device should be included in the rack design.

This equipment has an autoranging line voltage

input. Ensure that the supply voltage is within the

specied range.

Introduction • iii

This equipment is designed to be operated from a

power source that includes a third “grounding” con-

nection in addition to the power leads. Do not defeat

this safety feature. In addition to creating a potential-

ly hazardous situation, defeating this safety ground

will prevent the internal line noise lter from func-

tioning.

MOISTURE WARNING:

This equipment is intended for INDOOR USE

ONLY and can be hazardous if immersed in water.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose

this product to rain or moisture. Keep moisture away

from the ventilation openings in the top and front of

the unit. To avoid the possibility of electrical shock,

do not use this equipment when you are wet. If you

accidentally drop the equipment into water, do not

retrieve it until you have rst unplugged all cords. Do

not reconnect this equipment until it has dried thor-

oughly. Do not shower or bathe with the unit.

VENTILATION WARNING

This equipment requires the free ow of air for ad-

equate cooling. Do not block the ventilation open-

ings in the top and sides of the unit. Failure to allow

proper ventilation could damage the unit or create a

re hazard. Do not place the units on a carpet, bed-

ding, or other materials that could interfere with any

panel ventilation openings.

About This Manual

This manual covers the details of the RAQ and

DESQ control surfaces and the QOR series engines.

RAQ and DESQ are designed to operate as stand-

alone consoles; however, it also has network capa-

bilities. To learn more about these concepts, you

may wish to read Introduction to Livewire: System

Design Reference and Primer and Audio Over IP:

Building Pro AoIP Systems with Livewire by Steve

Church and Skip Pizzi, available from Elsevier Press.

In these publications we explain the ideas that mo-

tivated Livewire and how you can use and benet

from it, as well as nitty-gritty details about wiring,

connectors, and the like. Since Livewire is built on

standard networks, we also help you to understand

general network engineering so that you have the full

background for Livewire’s fundamentals. After read-

ing this reference material, you will know what’s up

when you are speaking with the network guys that

are often hanging around radio stations these days.

Although we strive for accuracy, some features and

operational characteristics may differ in actual use

from their descriptions herein. We invite feedback

and corrections from our clients.

A Note From The President of Axia

In 2003, Telos launched the Axia Audio division

based on an idea. That idea sparked a whole new

approach to radio consoles, using Ethernet as a high-

speed expressway – the routing infrastructure for

audio and data inside the radio station.

Howard Aiken, the scientist responsible for the

conceptual design of IBM’s groundbreaking Harvard

Mark I computer, once advised “Don’t worry about

people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good,

you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.” Sure

enough, during our rst few years, the idea of using

Ethernet to transport audio was so novel that we

spent most of our time simply telling people

our story, sleeping in hotel beds – and bring-

ing home very few sales.

After what seemed like an endless stream

of hotel desks and airline food the idea took

hold, thanks to forward-thinking engineers who

understood the power of using data networks for

audio transmission. Our rst installations proved that

the technology was real. Then those engineers began

sharing stories of their own, telling other folks how

much they loved what Axia did for them. Word got

around, and we sold thousands of consoles (enough

that Element consoles are now one of the best-selling

broadcast boards ever).

As more and more broadcasters embraced IP,

dozens of companies partnered with us to make

innovative broadcast products that connect to Axia

networks with just the click of an Ethernet cable. And

we conceived of some interesting new devices and

applications to help broadcasters take full advantage

of their networked environment.

For example, we introduced broadcast VoIP tele-

phone systems that integrate with consoles, merging

telephony into the studio network without adding

infrastructure (and giving broadcasters the world’s

rst consoles with integrated Telos hybrids). Inter-

com systems that connect via Ethernet, and permit

users to take broadcast-quality intercom calls to air

instantly. Networked codecs and audio processors

like the Telos Zephyr iPort and Omnia.8X, which

concentrate multiple audio devices into a single

network node, signicantly changing the economics

of complex systems.

And along the way, we expanded our

talented staff of engineers, scientists and

broadcast professionals, growing the

largest R&D organization in the industry.

We’re also the rst and only broadcast

equipment maker with a 24/7 support team

that’s ready to offer assistance any time of the day or

night. As they say, radio never sleeps – so neither do

we.

We realize that it’s not due to our efforts alone

that these things have happened — it’s due to yours.

We owe quite a lot to you, and we will never, ever

forget it. You are, literally, the reason we are here! And

we will continue to innovate, explore, think and invent,

for one simple reason: we love to hear you say “Wow!”
