5315 LEVEL SETTING PROCEDURES
CHANNEL AND OUTPUT AMPL IF I ER LEVEL SETT I NG PROCEDURE
l. Set all channel faders to the "0" position.
Set the group and main output faders to the "0" position.
Turn the master auxilliary level controls fully on in the clockwise direction.
Set all the channel input selectors to LINE input and set the gain controls to
the "0" position.
(N.B. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OF THESE FADERS OR CONTROLS AGAIN DURING
LEVEL SETT ING).
In all level setting procedures a low distortion 1KHz sine wave is used.
2. Insert an input level of OdBu into the line input of channell.
3. Measure the "FEED ON" level to the main 0l p1 bus barfrom chan. 1 (the feed on
level is measured either at the output pins of the chan. switching module or where
the white cable from the switching module socket is connected to the bus feed on
I ~ esistor). Adjust the preset potentiometer in chan. 1 switching module until the
feed on level corresponds to the level shown by the chart on the wiring diagram.
A I so check that the ma in olp 1 "BUS LEVEL" corresponds to the leve I shown by
the chart. (The bus leve I can be measured at the red pins connected to the bus bar~).
Deselect chan. 1 to main 0/ p1.
4. Route chan.1 to each output INDIVIDUALLY by selecting the appropriate sw i tch
on chan.1 switching module and ensure that the feed on and bus levels are correct
for each output respective I y.
5. Measure the signal level at MA IN 1 output. Reselect chan. 1 to main 0l p1 and adjust
the pre-set resistor in the MAIN 0l p1 Bus Amplifier (accessible from the front of
the module) unti I the output signal is OdBu.
Deselect chan.1 to main 0l p1 switch
6. Repeat procedure (5) for main 0/ p2, groups 1-4, aux 1-4 and solo outputs by
selecting each ol p individually and measuring the signal at the respective al p.
(NOTE:- The solo signal level is measured at the SOLO INSERTION POSITION).
- 1/ .',
7. Insert an input level of OdBu into channel 2 line input. Route chan.2 to main 0/p1.
Measure the signal level at the output of main 0/ p1.
Adjust the pre-set level control in chan.2 switching module until main 0l p1 level
is OdBu.
Deselect chan 2 to main ol pl switch.
8. Repeat procedure (7) for the remaining channels selecting each in turn to main 0 Ip 1.

OSCILLATOR LEVEL
SETTING PROCEDURE
9. Measure the signal level at the oscillator output (marked "OSC" on the jackfield).
Ensure the osci Ilator to output switch is in the osc to patch position.
Select the osc frequency qmtrol to 1. KHz and turn the osc level until a signal level
of OdBu is obtained at the osc output.
10. Measure the signal at the main 1 o/ p and select the osc to output switch to the main
pos i ti on.
Adjust the oscillator to main preset potentiometer (situated at the rear of the console)
until an output level of OdBu is measured at the main 1 o/p.
11. Measure the signa I at the group 1 output.
Select the oscillator to output switch to the group position.
Adjust the oscillator to group (osc to 4T) preset potentiometer (situated at the rear
of the console) unti I an output level of OdBu is measured at the group 1 output.
Selecl the osc to output switch to the centre of 'osc to patch' position. Turn the osc
level control fully anti-clockwise toits minimum level position and select the osc
frequency control to the off position.
MONITOR DIM LEVEL SETTING PROCEDURE
12. Select the monitor loudspeaker selection switches such that the monitor outputs
are switched to measure the 4T tape replay signals (Select the switch marked Tape
on the monitor selection switch panel).
13. I nsert an input level of OdBu into tape replay
input.
Measure the output signal level at the monitor
loudspeaker output.
(note this is the normal monitor signal level).
Select the monitor Dim switch.
Adjust the monitor 1 dim preset potentiometer (situated at the rear of the console)
until the signal level is 20dBu lower than the normal monitor working level.
Deselect the monitor dim switch.
14. Repeat procedure (13) for monitor o/ p's 2,3 and 4 using the respective tape relay
inputs and monitor dim preset potentiometers.
N.B. The monitor dim control level is set during manufacture to 20dBu below
normal working level. This can be adjusted to suit customer requirements.

The two direct inputs enter da connector 10 on ::he rear panel. Tnput 1
is on cable 1-.J53 and input 2 on cable 1'<54 as shol\'n on the tabulated cable
information on ECl0499, sheet 2. The 2 input transformers <Ire mounted on
a
panel accessiblt~ frolTl the rear of the channel section nearest the monitor,
or by removal of ~he top-wood. A similar panel in the monitor section
carries the plug-in amplifiers Al and A2. The u'lhalanced signals at the
secondaries of th,~ transformers T1 ar.d T2 are ta ,en via the level control
potentiometer RVI and RV2 to the inputs of the plug-in amplifier. Each
amplifier output is then selected to the fOllr gr)up bus hars by the Rroups
of four pushbuttO:1S 51-54 and 55-58.

The four group output amplifiers are located on t,,·o BM89/B boards. The boards
(Nos ~ &4) are lJcated on the panel in the channel section (accessible at rear
of console on removing the second panel from the left). The group signal from
patch is taken to monitoring and meter selection before passing to the output
amplifier forming part of the BA489 board. Each output is provided with a level
control Rl2-l5. mOClnted in a group in the lO\ver left hand corner of the facilities
panel. Above eacll level control is a pair of pushbutton switches S32-S33 etc for
distributing the Clutputs between the two groups (OPI and 2). Relay RLC in each of
the four outputs routes the signal through in the de-energised state. When relay
C is engergised on pressing the 4T tape button on the meter control panel, the tape
outputs 1-4 are s.lbstituted for the group outputs.
A separate group output only is wired to the output connector via the jackfield
insertion shown in detail on the circuit diagram.

The talkhack amplifier ~341S is mour.ted in the ro\oi of modules ahove the monitor
and facilities panel. The as!'ociatcd level control RV~) is mounted helow the
n,icl'ophone alld 3cljacent to the Direct Inputs Con1 rol. Two' outputs from the
ampl i fier (halanced and unhalanced) are routed t(' four keys\vi tches 540-543,
mounted adjal:ent to the output faders. The 'GrOt ps' key position is taken
via the tran:;mi t/rehcarse s\oiitch S:)O so that the talkhack signal can only
reach the grmlp outputs I.. hen the k.ey is in the n·hearse or standby modes.
Other keys enable the signal to be routed to the auxiliary busses at any time.
When talkbac:"- key S43 is operated, the talkhack :,ignal is routed to either of
tl, 'O external circuits via socket 2, pins 14, 18 and 22, or IS, 19 and 23. D.C
