AirWave Digital is a very sophisticated console
with an extensive range of features contained in a
compact design.To obtain maximum benefit from
the console’s capabilities, read the
Installation, Op-
eration and Equipment Description chapters prior to
product installation.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Each Airwave Digital mainframe ships standard
with one each of these modules:
• Microphone Preamp
• Monitor
• Output
• Timer Control
The modules are installed into their standard
positions in the mainframe along with the Input
modules ordered. Additional Mic Preamps, Ana-
log or Digital Remote Line Selectors, and up to
two Telco modules, or various accessory panels,
may also be installed per the order. If required,
blank panels are available to cover unused mod-
ule positions.
AirWave Digital’s motherboard and module area
is completely contained within a welded steel chas-
sis for strength and RFI immunity.The meter panel
is hinged at the rear, locking down over the upper
part of each module, covering the audio and logic
connectors and the Logic Settings switches. Be-
neath the meter panel, the chassis bottom is open
for easy cable access.
Module Descriptions
Microphone Preamplifier
Contains five preamplifiers with individual gain
controls under a security cover. Phantom power
(+45VDC) is selectable for each input.The pream-
plifier outputs are +4 dBu balanced for connec-
tion directly to an Input module or to outboard
mic processing equipment. One module is supplied
standard, but additional Mic Preamplifier mod-
ules can be installed into any RLS or input posi-
tion.
Input
Each Input module can be configured as an ana-
log module (with two balanced, stereo inputs), or
as a digital module (with two AES-3 inputs)
through a plug-in SIM (Single In-Line Module).
Each Input module features two input selection
(A or B), channel on/off control, fader level con-

trol (with the selectable global fader start feature),
Cue and Off-Line control and output selection to
three program buses. Faceplate channel trim con-
trols allow the analog version to accept input lev-
els from -10 dBu to +4 dBu.
The module’s inputs are electronically switched
through a faceplate A/B Input selector. Logic wir-
ing to/from external peripherals connects to a 24-
pin logic connector on the faceplate. Logic and
module function options for the A or the B input
are set through a ten-position faceplate DIP switch.
A second, optional interface connector is available
for separate logic control for the A and B inputs.
Telco Input/Output
Up to two optional Telco modules can be in-
stalled into the mainframe next to the monitor
module. These provide the audio and logic con-
nections for up to two telephone hybrids and two-
channel recorders.A faceplate trim control allows
the module to work with hybrid outputs from -10
dBu up to +4 dBu.
EachTelco module’s output (Feed to Caller) can
be set manually to any one or a combination of
the three program buses and the Off-Line mix
bus. The Autofeed function automatically
switches the Feed to Caller between the Off-Line
mix and the assigned bus with the highest prior-
ity when the Telco module is turned off and on
(for more information, see the Telco Operation
section) .
Monitor
A double-width module with the monitoring and
communication controls for a control room (C/R)
and separate studio or voice booth. Volume
controls for C/R and studio speaker volume, C/R
headphone and Cue are included with independent
source selection for each room (three external
inputs, Pgm-1, Pgm-2, Pgm-3 and Telco). The
module includes a C/R to studio talkback system
with built-in adjustable electret talkback mic. Both
C/R and studio warning outputs are provided.
Output
Contains the various analog stereo line output
amplifiers and the AES-3 digital outputs for the
Program-1 (Pgm-1), Program-2 (Pgm-2) and Pro-
gram-3 (Pgm-3) buses. A monaural analog out-
put of the Pgm-1, Pgm-2 or Pgm-3 bus (operator-
selected) is also provided. Each balanced analog
output uses a nominal level of +4 dBu. Each digi-
tal output is AES-3 compatible.
This module also has faceplate buttons for the
right-hand signal level meter selection, Program-
2 or Program-3, with momentary Cue bus level
metering. The module also has two DIP switches
for selecting if Fader Start is enabled and the me-
tering scale (VU or PPM).
Timer Control
Provides manual or automatic control over the
digital timer located in the meter panel. This
module also routes power to the clock/timer
assembly and provides an external reset for a
studio mounted timer. It also provides for a AA
battery backup voltage to hold the console’s logic
settings in case of momentary power outage.
Remote Line Selector (RLS)
Two line selectors are available: an analog RLS
and a digital RLS. Each is a 7x2 input selector.
The analog version uses balanced, line-level mono
or stereo signals.The digital version uses AES-3-
compatible digital signals. Two banks of seven
switches provide manual, exclusive source
selection, among the seven common external input
signals for the two outputs.
Power Supply
The separately packaged rack mount power
supply is fully regulated and protected by inter-

Revision B.1 • 7/04

nal fuses and electronic safeguards against exces-
sive current.
The power supply has five regulated output volt-
ages. Two outputs (±16 volts) power the analog
audio circuitry. A third (+5 volts) powers the DSP
and logic control circuitry.The remaining outputs
power the clock/timer assembly (+12 volts) and
supplies phantom powering (+45 volts) for con-
denser microphones connected to the Microphone
Preamplifier module.
SPECIFICATIONS
AirWave Digital’s specifications are significantly
more complete, and the related test conditions
more defined, than those usually shown for con-
soles in this class. Be sure to follow the test condi-
tions and measure in the units as stated.
The specifications are for a fully-loaded AirWave
Digital-20 mainframe.
Test Conditions:
Specifications are for the basic signal paths, per
channel, with 600 ohm loads connected to the
analog program outputs.
0 dBu corresponds to an amplitude of 0.775
volts RMS regardless of the circuit impedance.This
is equivalent to 0 dBm measured into a 600 ohm
circuit for convenient level measurement with
meters calibrated for 600 ohm circuits.
Noise specifications are based upon a 22 kHz
measurement bandwidth.The use of a meter with
30 kHz bandwidth will result in a noise measure-
ment increase of approximately 1.7 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is measured
at a +23.5 dBu output level using a swept signal
with a 22 kHz low pass filter.

CONNECTOR ACCESS
The meter panel is set into its service position
toaccessthemoduleconnectors.Tomovethemeter
panel to its service position, simultaneously press
on the latch buttons, located on the ends of the
meter panel, while lifting and rotating the panel
rearward.
Note: When opened to its service position,ex-
ercise caution to ensure the panel does not acci-
dentally fall closed.
To ease initial wiring, the meter panel can be
completely removed from the mainframe chassis.
Set the panel to its service position and unplug all
meter panel cabling to the speaker, meters and
clock/timer.Withanotherperson holding themeter
panel unlatch the two hinges, by moving the two
release pins into their detent positions,to free the
meterpanel.Toreinstallthe meterpanel,first align
the hinge parts together and then release the pins
out of their detents.
POWERSUPPLY
The power supply is typically rack mounted in
theconsole cabinetrybelow and tothe left or right
of the supporting countertop. The power supply
must be installed so that the ten-foot DC power
cable,that is fastened to theright end ofthe main-
frame motherboard, is not under tension.
DCGROUNDINGNOTE:The DC outputsof the
powersupply are not referenced tothe power sup-
ply chassis and, therefore, are floating from the
AC safety ground.
Do Not Connect audio or logic
supply ground wiring to the chassis of the power
supply.
AC GROUNDING NOTE: Do not defeat the
safety ground in any way.Doing so may provide a
potentially dangerous condition to the operator.
Refer to the
AirWave Universal Power Supply Techni-
cal Manual
(PR&E # 75-41) for complete power
supply installation details.
GROUNDING & SHIELDING
The broadcast facility’s technicalground should
onlyconnecttothemainframechassisgroundstud.
The stud is located next to the DC power supply
cable entry point into the chassis.Terminate the
facility’s technical ground wire in a crimped lug.
Connect the audio shields at both the console
and the peripheral when all system components
share a common ground potential and are using
isolated ground AC outlets tied individually back
to the main technical ground.
If isolated ground AC outlets are not available,
connect the cable shields at the console end only.
The shields should be floated (left unconnected)
at the peripheral device. Ensure the peripheral
devices connect to a clean ground through their
power cords,or through separate ground wires to
the facility’s technical ground.
POWER SUPPLY GROUNDING NOTE: The
power supply chassis is connected to the safety or
“U”ground wire in the AC mains supply cable.
Audio signals are not referenced to this ground in
any way by the console.
AUDIOGROUNDNOISES: Buzzpickup is gen-
erally electrostatic—such as capacitive coupling
between an audio line and a power line. Do not
route audio lines in the same wireway as an AC
power line.

INSTALLING BACKUP BATTERIES
Two AA batteries are supplied in the Installa-
tionTool Kit.They supply a“Keep Alive”voltage
that holds each module’s logic state during mo-
mentary power outages. They mount in battery
clips on theTimer Control module circuit board.
Observe the correct polarity (marked on the cir-
cuit board) when installing the batteries.
Note: Replace batteries yearly to ensure con-
tinuous backup protection. Remove one or both
batteries to prolong battery life when the console
will be unpowered for an extended period.
SETTING THE CLOCK
The digital time-of-day clock can be a master
oraslave.Inmastermode,the factorypreset,clock
timing is derived from a temperature-
controlledquartz crystal oscillator.In slavemode,
clock timing is derived from aTC76/TC89-com-
patible ESE master clock reference signal.
The operating mode is set by switch S1, #1 on
theclock/timer circuit board.Toaccess the clock/
timer board, open the meter panel to its service
position.The clock/timer board is mounted be-
hind the clock/timer display on the meter panel.
With the clock set to master mode, it’s neces-
sary to manually set the clock once power is ap-
plied to the console.Three magnetically-activated
Hall-effect sensors are used to adjust or hold the
time.They are positioned belowand between each
pair of 7-segment displays, just behind the dis-
playface.Clock set magnettool (PR&E #90-151)
is used to activate the Hall-effect sensors.
To set the time, place the end of the magnet tool
directly against the plastic face over the appropri-
atesensor.Use

When an ESE time code signal is connected to
BNC connector, J3, on the clock/timer circuit
board,and slave mode is selected (S1,#1,is set to
theright),theclock does notneedtobe set. Should
the ESE time code signal fail, the clock automati-
cally defaults to its internal crystal reference os-
cillator,blinking an LED below the clock display
to indicate the loss of time code.

Cabling &Wiring
Before beginning the installation, draw a facil-
itywiring planlisting theconsole interconnections
with peripheral devices. Identify and create tags
for all audio and logic cabling.List each connec-
tion in a master facility wiring logbook to facili-
tate wiring installation, future system wiring
changes,equipment updates and system trouble-
shooting. Refer to
Module Connections , pages 17
through 23 later in this chapter,for the audio and
logic connector pin-out definitions.
Analog audio connections require two-conduc-
tor stranded, insulated, foil-shield cable contain-
ing a separate shield drain wire (equivalent to
Belden 8451, 9451 or 8761).
AES/EBU connections require 110 ohm two-
conductor stranded, insulated, foil-shield cable
containing a separate shield drain wire (equiva-
lent to Belden 1800A).
Logiccontrol cablesrequire stranded,22AWG,
multiple conductor, non-shielded, jacketed cable
(equivalent to Belden 9423, 8457 or 9421).The
number of conductors needed is determined by
theapplication.Typicallyfive andeight wire cables
are most often used for constructing logic cables
(there are only 18 distinct signals on the Logic
Interface connector, of which only a handful may
actually be used for any given application).
WIRE PREPARATION
All AirWave Digital audio and logic wiring ter-
minates in AMP MOD IV receptacle contacts at
the console.Stranded wire of 22 to 26 AWG,with
insulation diameters of .040 to .060 inch, can be
used with the AMP MOD IV receptacle contacts.

Aproperlycrimpedcontactreceptacle is inserted
and locked into the appropriate connector hous-
ing following the pin-out diagrams found in the
Module Connections section (pages 17 to 23). Note
that the receptacle contact must be inserted with
its locking tab side facing the locking tab slots on
the side of the connector housing.A light“click”
will be felt as the contact’s locking tab engages
the locking tab slot.
AContactRemovalTool(PR&E70-129) is used
to depress the locking tab if the contact and wire
need to be pulled out of the connector.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
Audio connector pin assignments take visual
advantage of the three-pins-per-row design of the
three-pin and six-pin AMP MOD IV connectors
for both analog and digital connections.
Logic control cables are fabricated in a similar
manner to the audio wiring.Strip the jacket insu-
lation back 1½" [38.10 mm], sleeve the cut end
with 3/4" [19.05 mm] of shrink tubing and strip
the insulation from each wire 9/64" [3.572 mm].
CRIMPTOOL OPERATION
A ratcheting AMP MOD IV hand crimper is
included in the tool kit.The tool crimps both the
insulation and wire barrels on the AMP MOD IV
receptacle contacts in one crimp action.
Followtheseinstructions forusingthe ratcheting
crimp tool:
1. Hold the crimp tool with the printed side up.
Insertthe contact from the opposite side, with
the barrel openings up, until the insulation
barrel end is flush to the opening of the die.
Close the tool only until the anvil holds the
contact in place. Refer to the cutaway view.

should be connected to the mic processor with the
processor’s line-level output directly connected to
an Input module.
DigitalConnections
Digital outputs use three-pin connectors wired
liketheMic Inputs.Theseconnections outputAES-
3 compatible signals (often referred to as AES/
EBUsignals).
Note:The outputs cannot be directly connected
to a S/PDIF input. A signal translation interface
must be used to do this.
Because Input and RLS modules are available
with either an analog or a digital input, the con-
nectors on these modules use six-pin AMP MOD
IVconnectors evenwhenthe moduleis configured
for digital signals. Connect the AES/EBU signal
to pins 1,2 and 3 only.There is no connection on
pins 4, 5 and 6.
Routing digital audio signals through a patch
bay is not recommended.
When plugged into a module,the audio shields
are the pins closest to the console operator, the
audiolow wires are the middle pins and the audio
high wires are the back pins. For stereo, the left
channel wires connect to the left column of pins
and the right channel wires to the right-hand col-
umn of pins (all from the operator’s perspective).
AnalogConnections
There are no analog interstage patch points
within the AirWave Digital input or output mod-
ules.To use a patch bay,connect the line level out-
puts from the peripheral devices directly to the
patch bay and then normal these to the appropri-
ate analog Input modules. Likewise, AirWave
Digital’s analog outputs may also be routed
through a patch bay normalled to standard pe-
ripherals such as analog On-Air processing gear,
recorders,telephone hybrids,etc.
The Microphone Preamplifier module’s line-
leveloutputs(+4dBu,nominal,balanced) canalso
be routed through a patch bay normalled to an
Input module. If mic processing is required, the
Preamplifier module’s outputs may be routed
through line-level mic processing equipment and
then to an Input module.When mic-level input
capable processors are used, the microphone

UNBALANCED CONNECTIONS
Even though all analog inputs and outputs are
active and balanced, unbalanced consumer or
“semipro”equipment can be connected. For best
results unbalanced devices should connect to the
console through an IHF-PRO match box.
If a match box is not available,connect unbal-
anced signals per the following illustration.Keep
unbalanced cable lengths as short as possible.
Whenan unbalanced devicemust be connected
to an AirWave analog balanced output, and an
IHF-PRO match box is not available, do not tie
thelow (-) and shield pins together to“unbalance”
the signal.The low pin must always be left“float-
ing,”as shown in the following illustration, when
unbalancing anAirWave output.
S/PDIFSignals
When a S/PDIF digital output is connected to
an AirWave digital input, a 249 ohm resistor is
used to properly load the 75 ohm S/PDIF cable.
Install the resistor onto the connector following
the diagram. Alternately, an unbalanced-to-bal-
anced line transformer may be used to connect a
S/PDIF signal to an AES/EBU input.
Note 1: AES/EBU output signals cannot con-
nect directly to S/PDIF inputs, a signal conver-
sion interface must be used.
Note 2: Some S/PDIF outputs may not work
with the AirWave’s digital inputs, even with the
additional load resistor, due to nonstandard sig-
nal levels or protocols in the S/PDIF product.

LOGIC CONNECTIONS
Each Input module comes standard with one
24-pin logic connector to control a device con-
nectedto either theA or B input.The optional 99-
1003 Dual Logic Interface plug-in can be added
to any Input module to provide a separate logic
connection for each input.
When a peripheral device is connected, one of
the main functions of the logic interface is to start
the peripheral at module on.The peripheral de-
vice logic can, in turn, control the Input module;
turningthe moduleaudio offat theend ofan event
and then controlling the Off lamp illumination to
indicate the peripheral device status.
When a Guest Panel is connected, its remote
On,Off, Cough andTalkback buttons control the
module while the logic control outputs from the
module control the button tallies in the Guest
Panel.
THE LOGIC INTERFACE
A simplified schematic for the Input module
interface is shown below.The dual logic plug-in is
identical. Logic outputs (shown on the right) are
isolatedfrom peripheral devices byfive solid-state
devicesfunctioning likesingle-pole mechanicalre-
lays.The“relaycontacts”can switch external volt-
ages of up to 60 volts at 350 mA.
Each press of the On button generates a 220
ms pulse from the Start Pulse relay.Each press of
the Off button generates a 220 ms pulse from the
Stop Pulse relay.These two relays are commoned
together at Command Common.The other three
relays, Logic ActiveTally, OnTally and Off Tally,
are also“commoned” together at the Tally Com-
monoutput.
The six logic inputs (on the left side of the illus-
tration) are opto-isolated and current limited so
anylogic voltage from +5 to +40VDC canbe used.
Notes:

2 Installation
The On, Off, Cough andTalkback inputs allow
remote mic panel switches to control the Input
module through active low logic signals (pull to
ground).To enable these inputs jumper the Exter-
nal Control In (+) connection to +5 Logic.
The Audio Reset and Ready inputs can use ei-
theractivelowlogic (pullto ground) or activehigh
logic(pull to+VDC) fromperipheral devices.With
active high logic, Ready (-) and Audio Reset (-)
are tied to logic ground on the peripheral device.
Ready (+) and Audio Reset (+) then connect to
the appropriate logic outputs on the peripheral
device.
When active low logic is used by the peripheral
device,Ready (+) and Audio Reset (+) connect to
the logic supply voltage on the peripheral device,
and Ready (-) and Audio Reset (-) connect to the
appropriate logic outputs.
In normal operation the +5 Logic supply is
turned off when the interface is not enabled for
the input selected. Circuit board pads E1 and E2
can be jumpered to supply +5 Logic voltage at all
times for special applications.
AirWaveDigital QuickLogicGuides
Pages 13 through 16 offer quick guides to con-
figuringthe console logic.Page 13contains anAir-
Wave Digital Logic Interface Glossary,Logic Set-
tings switch definitions and a copy of the simpli-
fiedlogic schematicfrom the previouspage.Pages
14, 15 and 16 show connection diagrams for a
Guest Panel (remote mic panel), a CD player and
a digital delivery system,respectively.
Note: To completely isolate the console from a
peripheral device, use only the control input and
outputconnections.Theseare decoupled from the
console’s ground andpower supply through opto-
isolatordevices.
The Logic Ground and +5 Logic connections
are referenced to the console’s logic power supply
and ground. Connect these only to a peripheral
devicewithisolated logicconnectionsor toaGuest
Panel.Connecting these to a non-isolated periph-
eral device can result in a ground loop between
the console and the peripheral.
InputModuleLogic andMicrophones
Thetwo mainfunctions of microphone logic are
toautomatically mute the monitor speakersin the
room with the“hot”mic and to command the ap-
propriate hot mic warning light.
The warning commands come from the Moni-
tor module, but it is the first four Logic Settings
switches on each Input module that tell the moni-
tormodule whether theA and/or Binput is acon-
trol room or a studio microphone.
Page 14 summarizes setting up an Input mod-
ule as a microphone input.To activate the Guest
Panel logicfunctions,turn onLogicSettingsswitch
7 and set switch 8 for the appropriate A or B in-
put.To enable the remote control inputs (On, Off,
Cough,Talkback),jumper External Control In (+)
to +5 Logic on the logic connector.
MomentarySPSTswitchesareused to construct
aremote mic controlpanel like that shownabove.
Connect one side of each control panel switch to
the appropriate logic connector pin. Common the
other side of each switch (Switch Common on the
control panel illustration) to Logic Ground.
