System Ground
The first step is to ground the console.
Note that as supplied from the factory, console rackmount power
supply common, audio ground, and the D-16 mainframe are connected
togetherattheconsole,butareNOTconnectedtoelectricalgroundandthe
chassis of the power supply. Safety requirements dictate that a positive
connectionfromtheconsolemainframetoelectricalgroundbemadeinthe

to establish your system ground. The grounding lug may be found at the
rear of the console, on the rear frame panel, to the left if you are looking
at the rear of the console.
The system ground serves two important purposes:
(1) It provides a zero signal reference point for the entire audio system;
(2) It assures safety from electrical shock.
There exist two terms that one encounters in a discussion of ground:
(A)EARTHGROUND,whichisusuallyaheavycopperroddrivenintothesoil
adjacent to the building (around 6 feet down) or a connection to the copper water
pipes leading into the building. Either is acceptable (unless, of course, the water
pipe is made of plastic).
(B) THE POWER COMPANY EARTH CONDUCTOR that enters the build-
ing at the power line breaker box; this conductor should be (and is often by code)
tiedto theabove-mentioned earth ground at one point. This point is the SYSTEM
EARTH GROUND.

Each piece of equipment should be connected by its own ground
wire(usuallytheroundthirdpinontheACcord).Thismeansthatevery
AC outlet must have a separate conductor run to the console ground
lug; the outlets cannot be daisy-chained as is normally encountered in
commercial and residential AC systems. Any equipment not supplied

Locate all unbalanced audio equipment in the same rack if possible, to
minimize chassis ground potential differences. It may also be helpful to
insulate each piece of unbalanced equipment from its mounting rails in the
rack by means of nylon 10-32 screws and insulating washers between rails
and faceplates.
Once the system is properly grounded, proceed with the console
power supply installation and connection (next section).
Power Supplies
The D-16 console is powered by an Audioarts Model PSR-100 rackmount
power supply. This unit occupies two 19” wide rack spaces (total height
3-1/2”). Convection cooled, it requires ample ventilation space above and
below it.
Note that the power supply should be mounted in an equipment rack
within fifteen feet of the console (but no closer than 3 feet). Avoid locating
any high gain equipment (such as phono preamps, tape recorders, etc.) too
near the rackmount supplies, to avoid magnetic interference into that
equipment.
Once the supply is rackmounted, it should be connected to the console
using the factory supplied cable. The cable has two different types of
connectors on it: an 8-pin female connector that connects to the console’s
power supply connector, and an 8-pin male connector that plugs into the rear
of the rackmount PSR-100 power supply. The console’s power supply
connector is located at the rear of the console, at the right end of the
meterbridge bottom pan. If you are using one supply, connect it to the
console connector. If you are using two supplies (failsafe option), connect

the long power supply cable to the center connector of the rackmount failsafe
panel. Then connect one supply with a short cable to either of the two
remaining connectors on the failsafe panel and connect the second supply
with a short cable to the last connector.
Note that each power supply is fitted with a 3-wire grounded AC cord
that should be plugged into a "clean" AC power source, that is, an AC source
that feeds only the control room audio gear. This source should be a separate
feed from those powering lighting, air-conditioning, or any other non-audio
machinery. The third pin ground wire of the AC source should be tied to the
central system ground point.
Failsafe Dual Redundant Supply
Wheatstone failsafe power supply systems use two separate rackmount
power supplies for each piece of powered equipment. Though either is
capable of running a full load on its own, in failsafe operation both units run
in tandem: if one fails, the other takes over, assuring uninterrupted opera-
tion.
In order for failsafe systems to perform as designed, always have BOTH
rackmount supplies powered up and connected to their associated equip-
ment.
Energizing
Assuming the D-16 console mainframe is properly placed and grounded,
and its PSR-100 power supply correctly rackmounted and connected to the
console, you may now energize the power supply by plugging it into the AC
mains. The green “+PH” (phantom) LED and all of the “GOOD” LEDs on
the power supply front panel should light up to indicate the presence of their
respective voltages. The console's VU meters will illuminate and individual
module switches will assume factory default settings.
Note: To de-energize the console, unplug the rackmount power supply’s
AC cord from the AC mains. Never de-energize the console by disconnect-
ing the cable that connects the console and power supply together.
Onceyouhaveverified properpower-up,unplugtherackmountpowersupply
to de-energize the console. You may now proceed to wire up audio and
control connections.

Audio and Control Wiring
All audio and control I/O connections to the D-16 console are made
through multipin DB-25 connectors located on the rear panel of the
console.
The factory supplied hand crimping tool is used for all I/O wiring
connections to and from the console (see instruction on the page 1-9).
ConnectionProcedures
Assuppliedfromthefactory,theconsolerequiresnologicconnections

Proceed through the manual, chapter by chapter, until all slots have been
wiredto suit your particular installation requirements. Once properaudio
operationisverified,gobacktoChapter3andproceedwithcontrolwiring.
Digital Audio Connections
CABLE-AllAES/EBUinputandoutputdigitalaudioconnectionsare
balanced and should be made using a high quality digital audio cable. Be
sure to select a digital audio cable with an integral drain wire of the same
wire gauge (AWG) as the twisted pair. Typical AES/EBU digital audio
cablehasaverylowcharacteristiccapacitanceperft(pF/ft),andanominal
impedance of 110Ω. High quality digital audio cable offers better signal
transmission performance versus typical analog audio cable, especially
overlongcableruns.Checkthecablemanufacturer’sdatasheettobesure
the cable you plan to use will work in your application.
CONNECTORS - All AES/EBU connections are made with the
suppliedDB-25connectors.Thesecrimpstyleconnectorswillacceptwire
gauge 22 - 28AWG.
SPDIF INPUTS - The SPDIF (Sony/Phillips Digital Interface) or
“consumer” digital audio interface is a two wire unbalanced signal,
typically on a single RCA style connector. To connect SPDIF devices to
the D-16 console simply wire the SPDIF center conductor (HOT) to the
digital input HI pin and SPDIF shell (ground) to the LO pin. Connect the
digital input SH at the console end only.

Unbalanced Connections (analog audio)
ANALOG INPUTS — Wire to the console with typical shielded two
conductor cable (like Belden 9451), just as if you were connecting a
balancedsource. At the unbalancedsource machine’s output, connectthe
black wire (LO) to the shield.
ANALOGOUTPUTS — D-16 consoles use abalanced output circuit
which behaves exactly like the secondary of a high-quality transformer,
withnocentertap—thisoutputisbothbalancedandfloating.EithertheHI
orLOsideoftheoutputshouldbestrappedtoground,withtheoutputtaken
from the other side. (Normally you’d strap LO to ground, and take HIGH
to feed your unbalanced equipment.)
Installation Tip
In an effort to pack the D-16 rear panel with the maximum signal
capability, we have employed multipin DB-25 connectors. It is certainly
possibletowireupdirectlyfromtheDB-25matingplugstotheperipheral
circuitry, such as microphones, CD players, control room and studio
speakers, and STL. However, if you anticipate making frequent wiring

without interfering with seven other signals. And contact the factory or
your dealer to find out about available prewire options.

HAND CRIMP TOOL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The supplied hand crimping tool (W/S#850067) is used for all I/O wiring con-
nections to and from the console. It is to be used with the supplied pin (figure 1)
intended for 22"-28" gauge wire.
1) Strip wire approximately 3/16" (insert in
proper wire stripper, rotate one half turn, and
pull insulation off wire).
2) Leaving wire aside for the moment, with
crimping tool fully open (engraved side toward
you) bring a terminal into position from the
unmarked side of the tool. Place the conductor
tabs (inner set as shown in figure 1) on the
"18-22" or "24-30" (depending on the wire) an-
vil (slightly curved surface) so that the circular
portion of the tabs rests in the curved surface
of the anvil and the two tabs face up into the
walls of the female jaw. The insulation tabs will
be flush with the top of the tool (figure 2).
3) Close tool very slightly, only to the point
of holding the terminal in position (figure 2).
4) Insert wire into terminal until wire insu-
lation is stopped by conductor tabs (figure 3).
CRIMP by squeezing handles until jaws are fully
closed (figure 4).
5) If there is an insertion error or if a circuit
change is needed, you'll need to use an extrac-
tor tool to remove terminals (see next page).
Note that metallized plastic hoods for each
connector are also supplied with the console.

extend in front towards the camera.
(3) The stripped wire is placed into the terminal and
crimped. Note the wire's insulation must stop just
short of the conductor tabs (detail)

(5) Place extractor tip over pin terminal to be
removed.
If you accidentally insert a crimp terminal
pin into the wrong socket, you'll need to use
the supplied pin extractor tool (W/S#850069)
to remove terminal pin, and correct your mis-
take without having to sacrifice a connector.
Place extractor tip (red side) over terminal pin
to be removed (figure 5), and press it down-
wards motion until tip rests upon Housing.
Then pull out the terminal pin from Housing.
It should never be necessary to discard a con-
nector due to a wiring error.
