Introduction

Introduction 1

,QWURGXFWLRQ

The SM16 is a 16 bus dedicated monitor console to complement the Vienna and

Europa FOH desks.

The key features of the SM16 are:

•16 mono sends

•stereo send

•individual ON and PRE/POST fade switching on all sends

•4 programmable mute groups

•4 band sweep EQ

•linear faders on all inputs and outputs

•sophisticated solo system with autocancel, central global clear and

switchable input priority.

•metering for all inputs

•external inputs for all group and stereo mix buses, with level control and

solo facility

•balanced inserts on all outputs with bypass switching, and preinsert solo

facility

Frame Sizes

The SM16 is available in three frames sizes, 32, 40 and 48 channels. The frames

are configured, from left to right:

•inputs 1 - 24

•master

•groups 1 - 8

•inputs 25 - 32 (32 channel)

•inputs 25 - 40 (40 channel)

•inputs 25 - 48 (48 channel)

Power Supplies

All frame sizes will use the CPS900 PSU. Connection to the console is via an 8way

and a 16-way SRC connector below inputs 21-24. The SRC panel also carries a

ground binding post.

Lamps

Three BNC connectors for lamps are fitted to all frame sizes - one on the master

module, and one at either end of the console on the infill panels. These are suitable

for Littlite or similar 12V lamps taking up to 330mA each. The voltage supply to

the lamps can be varied between 1.5v (dim) and 12v (bright) by the dimmer control,

mounted under the armrest in front of the master module.

2Introduction

Metering

Each input module has its own bargraph meter in the overbridge. The groups are

metered by bargraphs which are next to the faders on the output modules.

The stereo mix/solo metering is by two illuminated VU meters, with integral peak

LEDs, in the overbridge above the master module.

General Precautions

Avoid storing or using the mixing console in conditions of excessive heat or cold,

or in positions where it is likely to be subject to vibration, dust or moisture. Do not

use any liquids to clean the fascia of the unit: a soft dry brush is ideal. Use only

water or ethyl alcoholto cleanthe trim andscribble strips. Other solvents may cause

damage to paint or plastic parts.

Avoid using the console close to strong sources of electromagnetic radiation (e.g.

videomonitors,highpowerelectriccabling):thismaycausedegradationoftheaudio

quality due to induced voltages in connecting leads and chassis. For the same

reason, always site the power supply away from the unit.

Caution!

In all cases, refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Handling and Transport

The console is supplied in a wooden crate. If it is necessary to move it any distance

after installation it is recommended that this packing is used to protect it. Be sure

to disconnect all cabling before moving. If the console is to be regularly moved we

recommend that it is installed in a foamlined flightcase. At all times avoid applying

excessive force to any knobs, switches or connectors.

Power Supplies & cables

Alwaysmake surethat the powersupply unit (PSU)has beensetto thesame voltage

as the mains supply

Always use the power supply and cable supplied with the mixer: the use of

alternative supplies may cause damage and voids the warranty; the extension of

power cables may result in malfunction of the mixing console.

Warning!

Always switch the power supply off before connecting or

disconnecting the mixer power cable, removing of installing

modules, and servicing. In the event of an electrical storm, or large

mains voltage fluctuations, immediately switch off the PSU and

unplug from the mains.

Always ensure that you use the correct PSU for your mixer. The SM16 uses a

CPS900 power supply.

4Introduction

Signal Levels

It is important to supply the correct input levels to the console, otherwise signalto

noise ratio or distortion performance may be degraded; and in extreme cases,

damage to the internal circuitry may result. Likewise, on all balanced inputs avoid

sources with large commonmode DC, AC or RF voltages, as these will reduce the

available signal range on the inputs. Note that 0dBu = 0.775V RMS.

The microphone inputs are designed for use with balanced low impedance (150 or

200 ohms) microphones.

Caution!

DO NOT use unbalanced microphones or battery powered

condenser microphones without isolating the +48V phantom power:

degraded performance or damage to the microphone may result.

The sensitivity of the XLR inputs is variable from -2dBu to -70dBu and +10dBu to

-20dBu in two ranges (for +4dBu at the Mix outputs). The maximum input level is

+28dBu.

The Hi-Z inputs have a sensitivity variable between +10dBu and -20dBu. The

maximum input level is +30dBu.

The main outputs of the console (stereo mix, groups, wedge and mix and group

insert sends) are balanced at a nominal level of +4dBu, with a maximum output

level of +26dBu.

The input insert sends and direct outputs areground compensated at a nominal level

of -2dBu, with a maximum output level of +20dBu.

All external inputs and mix and groupinsert returns have anominal levelof +4dBu,

and a maximum input level of +26dBu.

Input insert returns have a nominal level of -2dBu, and a maximum input level of

+20dBu.
