Although your new console will not make any noise until you feed it signals,
it has the capability to produce sounds that, when monitored through a moni-
tor system or headphones, can damage hearing over time.The table below is
taken from the Occupational Safety & Health Administration directive on
occupational noise exposure (1926.52):
Duration per day [h] Sound level [dBA, slow response]

692
495
397
2 100
1.5 102
1 105
0.5 110
<0.25 115
Conforming to this directive will minimise the risk of hearing damage caused
by long listening periods. A simple rule to follow is: The longer you listen, the
lower the average volume should be. Please take care when working with your
audio system – if you are manipulating controls which you don’t understand
(which we all do when we are learning), make sure your monitoring level is
turned down. Remember that your ears are the most important tool of your
trade. Look after them, and they will look after you. Most importantly: Don’t
be afraid to experiment to find out how each parameter affects the sound;
this will extend your creativity and help you to get the best results.

A1 Safety Symbol Guide
For your own safety and to avoid invalidation of the warranty, all text marked
with these symbols should be read carefully.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove covers. No user-serviceable
parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel (i.e., persons
having appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be aware
of hazards to which they are exposed in performing a repair action, and of
measures to minimize the danger of themselves).
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of un-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
Headphones safety warnings contain important information and useful tips
on headphone outputs and monitoring levels.
Assemblies or sub-assemblies of this product can contain opto-electronic
devices. As long as these devices comply with Class I of laser or LED prod-
ucts according to EN 60825-1:1994, they will not be expressly marked on
the product. If a special design should be covered by a higher class of this
standard, the device concerned will be marked directly on the assembly or
sub-assembly in accordance with the above standard.
A2 First Aid

B General Installation Instructions
Please consider besides these general instructions also any product-specific
instructions in the “Installation” chapter of this manual.
B1 Unpacking
Check the equipment for any transport damage. If the unit is mechanically
damaged, if liquids have been spilled or if objects have fallen into the unit,
it must not be connected to the AC power outlet, or it must be immediately
disconnected by unplugging the power cable. Repair must only be performed
by trained personnel in accordance with the applicable regulations.
B2 Installation Site
Install the unit in a place where the following conditions are met:
within the specified limits during operation of the unit. Relevant values
are the ones at the air inlets of the unit (refer to Appendix 1)
precautions must be taken before and after operation (refer to Appendix
1)
unit are a functional part of the design and must not be blocked in any
way during operation (e.g. by objects placed upon them, placement of the
unit on a soft surface, or installation of the unit within a rack or piece of
furniture)
-
light, spotlights)
B3 Earthing and Power Supply
Earthing of units with mains supply (class I equipment) is performed via
battery operation (< 60 V, class III equipment) must be earthed separately.
Earthing the unit is one of the measures for protection against electrical shock
hazard (dangerous body currents). Hazardous voltage may not only be caused
by a defective power supply insulation, but may also be introduced by the
connected audio or control cables.
If the unit is installed with one or several external connections, its earthing
must be provided during operation as well as while the unit is not operated.
If the earthing connection can be interrupted, for example, by unplugging
the mains plug of an external power supply unit, an additional, permanent
earthing connection must be installed using the provided earth terminal.
Avoid ground loops (hum loops) by keeping the loop surface as small as
possible (by consequently guiding the earth conductors in a narrow, parallel
way), and reduce the noise current flowing through the loop by inserting an
additional impedance (common-mode choke).
Installation
V
Installation / EMC
Should the equipment be delivered without a matching mains cable, the
latter has to be prepared by a trained person using the attached female plug
(IEC 320 / C13 or IEC 320 / C19) with respect to the applicable regulations
in your country.
line voltage matches the equipment rating (voltage, frequency) within the
admissible tolerance. The equipment fuses must be rated in accordance with
the specifications on the equipment.
Equipment supplied with a 3-pole appliance inlet (protection conforming to
class I equipment) must be connected to a 3-pole AC power outlet in such a
way that the equipment cabinet is connected to the protective earth.
For information on mains cable strain relief, please refer to Appendix 2.

Equipment of this protection class must be earthed using the provided earth
terminal if one or more external signals are connected to the unit (see expla-
nation at the beginning of this paragraph).
B4 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The unit conforms to the protection requirements relevant to electromagnetic
a way that other equipment and systems can be operated normally
that it can operate properly
The unit has been tested and conforms to the EMC standards of the speci-
fied electromagnetic environment, as listed in the following declaration.
The limits of these standards ensure protection of the environment and cor-
responding noise immunity of the equipment with appropriate probability.
However, a professional installation and integration within the system are
imperative prerequisites for operation without EMC problems.
For this purpose, the following measures must be followed:

ate floor covering (e.g. a carpet with permanent electrostatic filaments) and
by keeping the relative humidity above 30%. Further measures (e.g. con-
ducting floor) are usually unnecessary and only effective if used together
with corresponding personal equipment
care that the surrounding building structure allows for sufficient capacitive
coupling of the operator. This coupling can be improved by an additional,
conducting surface in the operator’s area, connected to the equipment
housing (e.g. metal foil underneath the floor covering, carpet with conduc-
tive backing)
C Maintenance
All air vents and openings for operating elements (faders, rotary knobs) must
be checked on a regular basis, and cleaned in case of dust accumulation. For
cleaning, a soft paint-brush or a vacuum cleaner is recommended.
Cleaning the surfaces of the unit is performed with a soft, dry cloth or a soft
brush.
Persistent contamination can be treated with a cloth that is slightly humidified
with a mild cleaning solution, such as dishwashing detergent.
For cleaning display windows, commercially available computer/TV screen
Never use any solvents for cleaning the exterior of the unit! Liquids must
never be sprayed or poured on directly!
For equipment-specific maintenance information please refer to the corre-
sponding chapter in the operating and service manuals.
D Electrostatic Discharge during Maintenance and Repair
Many semiconductor components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). The lifespan of assemblies containing such components can be dras-
tically reduced by improper handling during maintenance and repair. Please
observe the following rules when handling ESD sensitive components:

Appendix 1: Air Temperature and Humidity
General
Normal operation of the unit or system is warranted under the ambient condi-
tions defined by EN 60721-3-3, set IE32, value 3K3.
This standard consists of an extensive catalogue of parameters, the most
important of which are: ambient temperature +5...+40 °C, relative humidity
5...85% (i.e., no formation of condensation or ice); absolute humidity 1...25 g/
m³; rate of temperature change < 0.5 °C/min. These parameters are dealt with
in the following paragraphs.

ture range (i.e. temperature of the incoming air) of +5 °C to +40 °C. When
rack mounting the units, the intended air flow and herewith adequate cooling
must be provided. The following facts must be considered:

corresponds to 2.12 m³/min.
failure or illumination with spot lamps), the outgoing air temperature must
be measured directly above the modules at several places within the rack.
The trigger temperature of the sensors should be 65 °C to 70 °C
Frost and Dew
The unsealed system parts (connector areas and semiconductor pins) allow
for a minute formation of ice or frost. However, formation of dew visible to
the naked eye will already lead to malfunctions. In practice, reliable opera-
tion can be expected in a temperature range above –15 °C, if the following
general rule is considered for putting the cold system into operation:
If the air within the system is cooled down, the relative humidity rises. If it
reaches 100%, condensation will arise, usually in the boundary layer between
the air and a cooler surface, together with formation of ice or dew at sensi-
tive areas of the system (contacts, IC pins, etc.). Once internal condensation
occurs, trouble-free operation cannot be guaranteed, independent of tempera-
ture.
-
mation of condensation or ice. Only with a minute formation of ice, direct

evaporation (sublimation) may be expected; otherwise the system must be
heated and dried while switched off.
A system without visible internal formation of ice or condensation should be
heated up with its own heat dissipation, as homogeneously (and subsequently
as slow) as possible; the ambient temperature should then always be lower
than the one of the outgoing air.
If it is absolutely necessary to operate the cold system immediately within
warm ambient air, this air must be dehydrated. In such a case, the absolute
humidity must be so low that the relative humidity, related to the coldest
system surface, always remains below 100%.
Ensure that the enclosed air is as dry as possible when powering off (i.e. before
switching off in winter, aerate the room with cold, dry air, and remove humid
objects such as clothes from the room).
These relationships are visible from the following climatogram. For a con-
trolled procedure, thermometer and hygrometer as well as a thermometer
within the system will be required.
+20 °C and a relative humidity
of 40% is switched off in the evening. If the temperature falls below +5 °C,
the relative humidity will rise to 100% (7 g/m³); dew or ice will be forming.

1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
TheStuderMicroSeriesisacompactOnAirbroadcastandproductionmixing
system.
It has been designed with focus on very easy operatability - whilst providing
featuresforprofessionalbroadcastproduction,whicharenormallyonlyfound
in more complex OnAir mixers.
Eventough it has specific OnAir features, it can also be used as a versatile
production mixer for many other applications.
The Studer Micro Series can currently be used as a standalone unit, and later
it will have the functionality to be part of a networked studio environment.
The minimal system consists of a base unit only which is called Micro Core.
The Micro Core is then operated via a browser GUI, which can be run on a
tablet,notebookordesktopcomputer. (iOS,Android,Windows,MacOS,and
Linux platforms are supported).
For local operation, a computer screen and mouse and keyboard can be
directly connected to the Micro Core to operate the GUI.
For users who wish dedicated hardware controls, the Micro Core can be
combinedwithoneor twodeskmodules- addingfaders,buttonsandchannel
displays for real hands-on control. The desk module is called Micro Fader.
This manual is written for users that operate the mixer - and also for setup
and installation of the mixer (last part in the manual).
