Physical Requirements
Console Control Surface
The console control surface can be specified to have from 8 to 96 channels so the size and weight will vary considerably.A dimensioned footprint drawing for each specific console control surface can be provided by SSL’s Project Engineering Department. See page 8 for an example of a
Consoles can be built with split points at any profile (at additional cost). The console can then be split for shipment to simplify installation into client’s premises. Reassembly will be by SSL engineers.
Refer to Appendix A for weights and power consumption information.
Rack Mounting Equipment – Centuri, NetBridge and Stageboxes
The Centuri Processor is a 15U height chassis into which a range of I/O cards can be fitted. The system’s processing and DSP resource is also housed in the Centuri rack. The Centuri is therefore fitted with cooling fans and is expected to be housed in a separate ‘machine’ room.
A 19” equipment rack will need to be provided into which the Centuri Processor can be mounted. Note when positioning the rack that cards are inserted into the Centuri Processor from both the front and the rear depending on function. Clearance for access to cards must therefore be provided both in front of and behind the rack (see page 10 for service clearance diagram).
NetBridge – which is an option – is a 2U high rack mounting unit.
Remotely located stageboxes
Note. Centuri, NetBridge and stagebox units MUST be supported on shelves and not only by the rack ears.
SSL can supply 39U 800mm deep equipment racks and shelves if requested (at additional cost). Other rack heights are available to special order.
Acoustic Isolation
Because of the noise generated by cooling fans adequate noise isolation should exist between the machine and control rooms/recording areas.
Noise figures for individual units are given in Appendix A.
