External Control Connections

The SMR 821 provides a powerful external control option. This feature allows you to configure remote controls for the Master Left/Right volume and the Channel 7/8 select function. The Remote connector provides a simple way to make these connec- tions. NOTE: Use only shielded cable! Refer to the illustrations below.

Remote

Volume

This example is used to control the Left/Right Master Volume Control from a remote location with a simple connection on the back of the unit. A 10k pot will provide approximately 0 to 30dB of attenuation. A 100k pot will provide about 0 to 60dB of attenua- tion. If desired, a control voltage can be inserted to “command” attenuation instead of a pot. This voltage is inserted into the “C” input and is positive referenced to SHD. NOTE: THE CONTROL VOLTAGE SHOULD NEVER EXCEED 11 VOLTS DC.

This example shows the connection for remote selection of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

Channels 7 or 8 input select feature. The selection is done by con-

 

 

 

 

 

 

necting a momentary switch between SEL and SHD. Each time

 

 

 

 

 

 

the switch is actuated, the channel selection is toggled and alter-

 

 

 

 

 

 

nated between Channel 7 and 8. This remote operation functions

 

 

 

 

 

 

in conjunction with the front panel Select Control. A bi-color

 

 

 

 

 

 

LED or 2 individual LEDs may be connected as shown in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

diagram for remote indication of the selected stereo line input.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: The IND circuit can supply a maximum of 6ma for the

 

 

 

 

 

 

LEDs’. Take care that you do not exceed this current limitation.
