This guide will assist with starting up and operating a Sportsound® SSR-300 audio rack. For detailed operation, conguration, and troubleshooting, refer to
the Sportsound Rack SSR-300 Operation Manual (DD2324779). Note that every project is unique, so be sure to follow any site-specic riser drawings and
documentation for the facility.
Setup
The Announcer’s Interface equipment is typically kept in the bottom
storage drawers along with other accessories. Follow the steps below to
properly reconnect it to the rack. For more information, refer also to the
quick guide (DD3083838) shipped with the device.
1. Connect the 2' (610 mm) XLR cable between the microphone and
the MIC 1 INPUT jack, and then connect headphones to the 1/4"
or 1/8" jack.
Note: The headset microphone may be connected to the announcer’s
interface via the MIC 1 INPUT and HEADPHONES jacks.
2. Connect the provided 12 VAC wallpack transformer to the power
input jack, and then plug the other end into a standard 120 VAC
outlet. Use the tab above the power jack as a strain relief for the
power cord.
3. Connect the 15' (4.6 m) XLR cable from MIC 1 & AUX 1 on the
announcer’s interface to Mic 1 & Aux 1 on the announcer's plate.
24 RU Rack Only
For the 24 RU rack, there will be a 25' (7.6 m) or 50' (15.2 m) cable harness
factory wired to the rack. Route this cable to the desired mixer location
and connect each plug to the appropriate jack on the mixer according to
the wire labels. Plug the mixer into a standard power outlet.

2. Turn the SOUND SYSTEM key switch to the OFF
(horizontal) position.

storage drawers to keep them safe and organized.

Powering On
Unlock the door of the rack, and
turn the SOUND SYSTEM key
switch to the ON (vertical) position.

a safe location to prevent theft/
tampering of rack equipment!
