SoundCraft Five Monitor Series manual Optional Stereo Input Module, RNG Range L/R, 48V L and R

Optional Stereo Input Module

The optional Stereo module has Left and Right input XLRs and the module may either be configured as a stereo signal path or the Left or Right signals may be fed in mono to both sides of the input.

1 SENS (Sensitivity)

The SENSitivity Control adjusts the level of the signal which is present on the Input XLRs. The input can handle mic or line level signals up to +30dBu, with individual RANGE switches (see below) for L and R selecting high or low sensitivi- ty.

2 RNG (Range) L/R

The RNGE (Range) switches selects between an input range of -2dBu to -70dBu (switch released), and +10dBu to -20dBu (switch pressed and lit), enabling both mic and line level signals to be handled by each side of the input.

CAUTION: Phantom power should not be switched on when unbalanced sources are connected to the XLR inputs.

3 Ø (Phase)

The PHASE switch reverses the phase of the Left input signal when pressed, to compensate for incorrect wiring or mic placement. The switch is internally illumi- nated when phase is reversed.

4 48V L and R

The 48V switches, when depressed, place 48V phantom power on pins 2 & 3 of the respective Left and Right input XLRs. Integral LEDs illuminate when the phan- tom power is on.

CAUTION: Phantom power should not be switched on when unbalanced sources are connected to the XLR inputs.

5 MNO (Mono) L and R

The MNO L and R switches select the Left or Right sides of the source signal (post input amp) and feeds either or both signals to both channels of the module. This is very useful when a single mono source is attached to just one leg of the input, but is required to feed both sides of an Output pair which has been globally configured as Stereo.

6 INS (Insert Point)

The Insert Point may be switched in circuit by the INS switch. The insert uses sep- arate balanced jacks for send and return. It is normally positioned after the filter and before the equaliser, but can be repositioned using internal jumpers to be post-EQ if required. The insert is in-circuit when the switch is illuminated.

7 HPF (Highpass Filter)

A sweepable High-pass Filter (HPF) control sets the cutoff (-3dB) frequency of the High-pass filter: it is adjustable between 20Hz and 600Hz. The filter is active when the IN switch is pressed, and bypassed when the switch is released, allowing easy A/B comparison of the signal with and without the extreme low end content.
