Pa e 3
Duality SE Installation Guide
This section contains definitions and warnings, and practical information to ensure a safe working environment. Please take
time to read this section before undertaking any installation work.
Definitions
‘Maintenance’
All maintenance must be carried out by fully trained personnel. Note: It is advisable to observe suitable ES
precautions when maintenance to any part is undertaken.
‘Non-User Adjustments’
Adjustments or alterations to the equipment may affect the performance such that safety and/or international
compliance standards may no longer be met. Any such adjustments must therefore only be carried out by fully trained
personnel.
‘Users’
This equipment is designed for use solely by engineers and competent operators skilled in the use of professional
audio equipment.
‘Environment’
This product is a class A product intended to form an integrated component part of a professional audio recording,
mixing, TV, radio broadcast or similar studio wherein it will perform to specification providing that it is installed
according to professional practice.
Installation Instructions
Voltage Selection and Fusing
The uality console uses auto-ranging power supplies so voltage range setting is not necessary. Some 3rd party sub-
systems however may have user-selectable voltage inlets. Always confirm that the input mains voltage range is set correctly
before applying power. Always isolate the mains supply before changing the input range setting.
If it is ever necessary to replace a blown mains-fuse, then always use the correct rating and type of replacement. If a
correctly rated fuse continues to blow, then a fault exists and the cause should be investigated or the unit returned to SSL
for repair/replacement as appropriate.
etails of mains settings and correct fuse ratings can be found in Appendix A of this manual.
Electrical Safety Warning
When installing or servicing any item of SSL equipment with power applied, when cover panels are
removed, HAZAR OUS CON ITIONS CAN EXIST.
These hazards include: • High voltages
• High energy stored in capacitors
• High currents available from C power busses
• Hot component surfaces
Any metal jewellery (watches, bracelets, neck-chains and rings) that could inadvertently come into contact
with uninsulated parts should always be removed before reaching inside powered equipment.
Section 2 – Safety Information

Safety Information Section 2
Pa e 4 Duality SE Installation Guide
Safety Earth Connection
Any mains powered item of SSL equipment that is supplied with a 3-core mains lead (whether connectorised or not)
should always have the earth wire connected to the mains supply ground. This is the safety earth and grounds the exposed
metal parts of the racks and cases and should not be removed for any reason.
Mains Supply and Phases
SSL equipment is designed for connection to single-phase supplies with the Neutral conductor at earth potential – category
TN – and is fitted with a protective fuse in the Live conductor only. It is not designed for use with Phase (Live) and Neutral
connections reversed or where the Neutral conductor is not at earth potential (TT or IT supplies).
All mains powered assemblies must be connected to the same mains phase.
Mains cables will be coded with either of the following colour schemes:
1or 2
LIVE: Brown Black
NEUTRAL: Blue White
EARTH: Yellow/Green Green
Mains Isolation and ver-Current Protection
An external disconnect device (switch) is required for this equipment which must be installed according to current wiring
regulations. A detachable power cord, if fitted to this equipment, is a suitable disconnect device; otherwise an approved
disconnect switch is required – the rating of which is defined in the product specification (Appendix A) and on the
equipment itself.
An external over-current protection device is required to protect the wiring to this equipment which must be installed
according to the current wiring regulations. The fusing or breaking-current is defined in the product specification. In
certain countries this function is supplied by use of a fused plug.
Physical Safety
Console sections are too heavy for one person to lift.
If the console trim is removed for any reason then there may be sharp edges exposed on the frame metalwork.

CE Certification
Note that if cables supplied with SSL equipment are fitted with ferrite rings at either end, this is to comply with
current European CE regulations and these ferrites should not be removed.
If any of the console metalwork is modified in any way – particularly the addition of holes for custom switches etc. – this
may the adversely affect the CE certification status of the product.
FCC Certification
The equipment which forms a uality system has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference
at his own expense.
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the EU
The symbol shown here, which is on the product or on its packaging, indicates that this product must not
be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment
by handing it over to a designated collection point for recycling of waste electrical and electronic

Services Available From SSL
Shipment
uality consoles are available Ex-works and can be collected from SSL’s headquarters in Begbroke, Oxfordshire, UK.
Packing and shipment by specialist carrier can be arranged at additional cost. The legs are not normally removed where
delivery is by road transport within the EU. For shipment to other areas, consoles larger than 48 channels will be split into
a centre-plus-24-channel section plus the additional 24-channel bays. Each console section will be crated separately. The
legs will be removed when consoles are crated. The trim parts will not normally be removed for shipment so care must
be taken to protect the trim during reassembly.
We would normally recommend commissioning when consoles are shipped split. Unless commissioning has been specified,
it will be the responsibility of the facility to reconnect the console sections and to re-attach the legs.
Commissioning
uality consoles do not include on-site commissioning by an SSL engineer as standard. Commissioning can be requested
at the time of purchase at additional cost and is usually expected to take from 2 to 3 days depending on system
configuration and options fitted; large systems, or consoles split for shipment, may require an additional 1 day of
commissioning time.
Before the console is installed all control room building work must be completed and the environment MUST be
clean and free from dust otherwise the warranty will be rendered invalid. Ancillary equipment, such as power distribution
and monitoring loudspeakers, should be installed and working prior to the commissioning date.
You should contact your local SSL office or agent at least four weeks prior to delivery to allocate a commissioning date.
Training
The commissioning time can be extended to allow for up to two days of standard operator training. This is provided at
additional cost and is subject to engineer availability.
Maintenance training may also be possible at additional cost.
Training should be requested at time of order. For all training, we recommend that no more than five persons attend each
session. If the use of an interpreter is necessary the training period may need to be extended (at additional cost). Note
that travel and subsistence costs are not normally included. Please contact SSL’s Training epartment at: support@solid-
state-logic.com.
Factory Warranty
All new systems include a 13 month warranty which commences on the date of shipment. This warranty includes:
• Technical – phone, fax and e-mail – support via your local distributor or office during normal business hours
• Supply of exchange parts*
• Service engineer visits (note that travel and subsistence costs are not covered by the warranty)
• Maintenance software upgrades
* It is not expected that a visit from an SSL engineer will be necessary in the majority of cases where a replacement part
is required. Console sub-assemblies are designed to be easily removable to simplify replacement. Please refer to the
separate uality Service Manual, included with the console for additional information.
Extended Warranty
The warranty period may optionally be extended up to a maximum of 5 years. The extended cover available can be
specified as ‘Parts and Labour’ or ‘Parts Only’. In either case the travel and subsistence costs are not included.
Section 3 – Pre-Installation Information

Physical Requirements
Console Control Surface Layout
Consoles are available in sizes of 24, 48, 72 or 96 input channels. Other channel quantities or blank bays are not available.
The centre section can only be located to the right of any 24 channel bay (ie. not at the left-hand end of the console). An
angled corner section (12°) can be positioned at any 24-channel or centre section frame border.
A 19” mechanical frame section equipped with 12U of racking is available as an option. These sections may be used to
locate outboard equipment or used to install an internal console bantam patchbay – see ‘Patchbay Options’ below.
A frame section fitted with a Producer’s table may also be specified. This bay is 603mm wide and is fitted with a flat, full-
depth table. Cable access covers are located at the rear corners of the table.
Producer’s tables or patch sections cannot be placed directly to the left of the Centre section.
The console is a self-contained system; there are no remote power supplies or I/O racks. The frame is not fitted with
cooling fans.
Power, audio and control connections are all made to the rear of the console. A cable tray is fitted along the rear lower
edge of the frame to support connecting cables. Console legs are fitted with a removable rear panel so that cables can be
routed inside so can be hidden. Corresponding floor ducting will be necessary to take full advantage of this feature. (The
48-channel console is also fitted with a centre leg. This leg is of reduced depth which is insufficient to accommodate the
number of cables from a 24-channel bay).
See Appendix E page 52 for console footprint drawings showing the cable exit locations.
Patchbay options
The console may optionally be supplied with a bantam patchbay. Patchbays can be fitted internally to the console or may
be remotely mounted.
The number of patchrows supplied is dependant upon the number of channels specified. A 24 or 48-channel console will
require a single 19” section whereas the patch for 72 and 96 channel frames will require 2 off 19” sections. See Appendix
, page 35, for patchbay layouts. These layouts are not customisable.
Patchbays are constructed using enclosed, 1U Bantam patch modules. All connections are made to the modules using leads
fitted with 25-pin -type male connectors.
Each 1U patchrow is a self-contained connectorised unit. The normalling between each pair of upper and lower jacks is set
using internal switches. This allows user-option jack normalling to be configured as required. Information showing how to set
the normalling links is printed on the cover of each patchrow unit and in Appendix D on page 51.
To simplify the integration into a facility with existing cabling, patchbays may optionally be wired out to female L96
connectors mounted at the rear of the patch section.

Pre Installation Information Section 3
Cable Access and Ducting
Cable ducting will almost certainly be required between the console and any outboard equipment/patch racks and the
recording areas. If a full remote patchbay is being provided then the ducting between the console and the patch racks will
need to be of sufficient size to accommodate the following numbers of cables:
24 channel remote patch will have 36 off 11mm diameter cables
48 channel remote patch will have 54 off 11mm diameter cables
72 channel remote patch will have 72 off 11mm diameter cables
96 channel remote patch will have 90 off 11mm diameter cables
A cable tray is fitted to the rear of the console to support the cable looms is located directly below the connectors. The
tray is provided with holes that coincide with the console leg positions. The console legs are hollow with holes through
each foot so that any leads can be hidden within the console legs. It is recommended that the cables are dropped using
the nearest leg. Where floor ducting is not available, the lower section of each leg’s rear cover is removable to allow cables
to exit to the rear.
Thermal Considerations
The console is cooled by convection from the front inlet (in the knee panels) to the exit at the top of the rear panels. It
is essential that these ventilation grills are not obstructed in any way.
Particular care must be taken when considering the installation of studio furniture – such as shelving – across the rear of
the console. Sufficient space must be left for the free flow of air from the rear grills, and also above the heatsink fins.
Clearance behind the console must not be less than 50mm and clearance above the console not less than 200mm.
The heatsink fins on the console rear panels can reach temperatures of approximately 30 degrees Celsius above
ambient room temperature.
Service Access
Although access to all electronic assemblies within the frame is from the front of the console, note that each of the
console’s channel modules is secured by a screw through its rear panel. It is still necessary therefore, to have access to
the rear of the console.

System ptions
•TR and Automation Total Recall and mix automation are system options available at additional cost. They are
normally specified at time of order but can also be installed subsequently.
•Speaker shelves A flat shelf that fits over the top trim of the console. Can be retrofitted to existing consoles
without modification.
•Additional patchrows 1U connectorised 2 x 48-jack patchrows. Can be specified independently from patchbays.
Mating 25– 25 cables are not supplied. L socket to 3-off 25-way -type-male adaptor
leads are available at extra cost.
•L Connector Panel The internal patchbay option is wired out as standard to a panel fitted with 25 female
connectors. This panel can be replaced with one fitted with L96 female connectors to
simplify the interface to an installation where L connectors are already in use.
•TFT Monitor arm A vertical adjustable arm fitted to the rear of the console to which one or two LC
monitors may be mounted. Suitable for monitors equipped with the VESA MIS- 100
mounting.
•LC Phasescope The K Audio MS 600M or the RTW10830 phasescope may be optionally mounted
above the top trim using a bracket (supplied). Connection is to the dedicated ‘Meter Out’
socket at the rear of the console; a mating cable loom is also supplied.
•PSU redundancy For critical operations, such as live recording or on-air production, a dual power supply
system can be specified. This option features two independent PSUs per console section,
each having an independent mains supply input connector.
• Script Tray A 315mm wide Perspex panel which fits over the channel area leaving the faders free. The
tray is fitted with rollers allowing it to be moved sideways across the console.

Technical Requirements
Sync Source
The uality console does not require a synchronisation source for operation.
A MI I timecode connector is provided for workstation timecode interface.
Power Connections
The console is fitted with auto-sensing power supplies which will function at any voltage from 100 to 240 volts ±10%
without adjustment.
A console is supplied with one IEC mains power-lead for every 24 channel bay fitted (the Centre section is powered from
the bay to its left). A 48ch console is therefore supplied with two power leads, a 72ch console with three and four leads
for a 96 channel console. The leads are 2m in length and are unterminated at the supply end to allow for user connection
to a suitable outlet. The wires are colour-coded according to the EC standard.
It is important that all power leads are connected to a single outlet connection so that the console can be powered by
using a single switch. Refer to diagram opposite for preferred mains provision arrangement.
A console fitted with PSU redundancy will be supplied with two mains leads per 24-channel bay.
See Appendix A page 42 for console power requirements.
UPS Provision
Where either the primary or backup supply of mains power is provided from an uninterruptable source (UPS) the
output waveform of the UPS equipment must be of the sinusoidal variety. Switched or stepped output waveforms may
cause damage to the console power supplies so must not be used.
Air Conditioning
The maximum power dissipation of the 48 channel uality console is approximately 1,540W (2,200W for 72ch and 2,860
for 96ch). When all the studio equipment is taken into consideration, particularly if additional lighting is being installed, the
combined heat output could be sufficient to cause the temperature to rise to uncomfortable levels. It is therefore likely
that air conditioning will be required.
The Appendix section F, page 42, lists the environmental specifications for SSL equipment.
Grounding
A standard system should not require any additional grounding over and above that supplied by a correctly installed mains
supply. All console metalwork is permanently bonded to mains earth. A permanent mains earth connection, via the mains
inlet, must be provided.
A console chassis connection is provided adjacent to the XLR input for channel one at the rear of the console.
All audio connectors have their screen pins connected directly to the chassis at the point of entry to comply with AES/EBU
grounding and EMC standards.
Workstation interface
AW interface is via standard MI I 5-pin IN connectors or over Ethernet ip MI I.
A built-in trackball is fitted adjacent to the master fader as a pointing device. The output is accessed via a USB-A socket
on the rear panel of the Centre section.

Unpacking The Console
For installations within the EU it is usual that the console will not have been split for shipment and the legs will still be
attached. For other worldwide destinations the console will be split with each section being supplied in a wooden crate
with the legs having been removed.
Using a large screwdriver or pry-bar carefully open the crate containing the console. The crate is not designed to be
reusable so does not have to be removed intact. With all the crate sides removed there will be sufficient space for a
minimum of six people to lift the console sections clear of the crate.
The console is normally shipped with its trim fitted; avoid using any trim part as a lifting point. Do not lift the front of the
console using the buffer alone.
Attaching the legs
It is recommended that at least four people are available to perform this operation.
The bolts required to attach the legs are shipped in a separate trim kit box. A 6mm hex-key will be needed to tighten the
leg bolts. The bolts screw into a threaded insert inside the main supporting beam. There are four bolts per leg.
Unless trollies or stands are available the safest way to attach the legs is for the console to be rolled onto its back. Ensure
that ample padding is provided – such as blankets or bubble-wrap – to protect the rear panels (the PSU heatsink fins
protrude from the rear of the console and care must be taken not to damage them). Also ensure the trim is not used to
lift any section.
The legs should be positioned so they align with holes in the cable tray. Note that the legs are hollow so that cables can
be fitted inside. Refer to the footprint diagrams in Appendix F.
Removing/fitting the trim
If it is necessary to remove the trim sections – to adjoin existing furniture – then please refer to the following information
and the illustration shown on the facing page. Note that it will be necessary to remove audio channel modules to gain
access to the trim fixing screws.
Front Buffer
The front buffer sections are secured by pan-head screws (A) which locate through the buffer into the front beam of the
console – four screws are used for each 24 channel bay and two screws for the centre section. Where a buffer meets an
end trim there are an additional three screws (B) fixed into the trim. Adjacent buffer sections are joined using three screws
and M6 nuts. All the fixings are accessed from beneath the buffer.
End Trim
Each of the end trims is secured in three stages Firstly, three Posi-head screws (C) through the profile (these screws are
directly accessible). Secondly, three pan-head screws (B) through the front buffer (visible from beneath the buffer). Thirdly,
the side trim will now be secured by three more screws ( ). These screws need to be loosened but may not need to be
removed completely as the corresponding holes are widened at the top. Lifting the trim by approximately 20mm should
allow it to pull free although it may be easier to remove these screws completely.
Top Trim
The top trim for each bay is constructed in two parts: a rear support and a front hinged section. Under most circumstances
access for servicing can be gained by simply hinging up the front section. This is a push fit over the meter panels and can
be opened by gently pulling upwards along its front edge. The rear fixed section of the trim is also a push fit over the
profiles but is also screwed to the console rear panels. This section can be removed by undoing the screws and then by
pulling upwards – note, this is normally a much firmer fit.

Console reassembly
In certain cases – except for smaller frames and some deliveries by road within the EU – consoles will be split for
shipment. Splits will be at 24-channel bay sections except at the Centre section which remains connected to the 24-channel
bay to its left. Corner sections are always removed before shipment. Unless commissioning by SSL has been arranged the
console will need to be reassembled on site.
A split point is constructed using two 3mm profiles held together by 9 off M3.5 screws (called ‘stitching’ screws). The
console beam is also split and is joined and strengthened by using two insert bars and a support plate held in place by eight
M10 bolts – See the diagram on page 16 for the mechanical assembly detail.
In addition to the mechanical split, three audio and one data cable will need to be re-connected.
To gain access to the stitching screws and the data connectors it will be necessary to raise the top trim and remove 2 or
3 channel strips from either side of the split. If the split is to the right of the Centre section then the track-ball panel will
need to be removed. The channel meter panel will also need to be tilted forward in order to reconnect its data lead.
Removing Channel Strips and Panels
The console MUST be switched off and all the mains input leads disconnected before any covers or panels are
removed.
Tools required to remove channel and Centre section panels are as follows:
• 2.5mm hex driver For visible front panel screws
• 1pt cross-head driver For rear panel screws and hidden screws
• Module puller tool For lifting the top edge of channel strips and cassettes
Where two adjacent channel bays are being joined it is recommended that three modules are removed from either side
of the split. This should be sufficient to gain access to the stitching screws and the bus ribbon connectors.
It should not be necessary to remove Centre section panels as the stitching screws should have been inserted from the
right-hand (ie. module) side of the split. The track-ball will need to be removed to gain access to the screws in the fader
area.
Refer to diagrams on facing page for instructions to remove panels and to page 16 for locations of the stitching screws.
Cable Connections
Once the frame has been mechanically joined (see following page) there are four cables that need to be re-connected.
• Three ribbon connectors are used to link the channel strip buscards between bays. These are located at the left-hand
edge of each channel bay. Once the bays are joined, the two 50-way and one 40-way connectors should be in the
correct location and will simply require pressing into their corresponding sockets (PL1A, PL2A and PL3A).
• One meter lead will also need to be re-connected behind the channel’s 24-strip wide meter panel. The instructions
are as follows:
1. Hinge up the front section of the channel bay top trim.
2. Remove six off M3 x 8mm cross head screws from the top of the meter panel.
3. Gently pull upwards on the meter panel at each edge until its lower edge is free – the panel does not need to be removed
completely and can just be tilted forward to gain access to the connector.
4 Locate the meter lead and its corresponding socket. This will be found on the meter drive card assembly in the middle of
the meter panel, the socket is at the bottom edge near the centre of the drive card, and is labelled L3.
5. Route the cable through the penthouse section of the frame and connect to socket L3 on the drive card.
