General Description
The TOA D-5.5 is a 19" rackmount or console configuration, eight-input stereo mixer especially designed
for electronic music and sound. It is expandable to a 32-input mixing system, with group, stereo and
mono outputs, and 16 MIDI-THRU jacks, when combined with two D-5.5E 12-input expansion units.
The D-5.5 was designed to perform many different applications in broadcast, live sound reinforcement,
and recording environments.
The D-5.5 provides four Group outputs, and mixing busses for Aux 1, Aux 2, Effects, Reverb, and Cue.
System features include: Sum output selectable pre- or post-fader (St. L + R); two Aux sends, selectable
pre-EQ/fader, post-EQ/pre-fader, or post-EQ/fader; Aux returns to Groups 1~4 and Stereo L, R, with pan,
level and crossfade controls; an effects patching loop and an internal spring reverb effect are returnable
to the 4 groups, stereo L, R, and Aux 1 & 2, with pan, level, and crossfade controls; dual bargraph meters,
selectable to Sum/Cue or Stereo L/R; a Headphone output with level control, a Cue buss output with
level control, and a Cue buss input.
Each input channel features a writing block to identify the source; tape/source selection switch; cue
switch; 60 mm fader; pad and trim controls; two-color LED to indicate signal prescence (green), or
clipping (red); channel on/off switch with orange LED indicator; 3-band EQ (high and low shelving-type,
and mid peaking-type with frequency sweep control); two Aux sends, selectable pre- or post-EQ; reverb
send to internal spring reverb; effects send; and four group sends via two pan and level controls.
Each of the four Groups features level and crossfade controls for returning Aux and Effects signals to the
Group mixing busses, and a stereo pan for assigning Group signals to the stereo Left and Right mixing
busses. The four groups and Stereo L, R also feature dual-color signal prescence/clip LED indicators; an
on/off switch with orange LED; writing block; 60 mm fader; and cue switch.
The D-5.5 rear panel features an RCA tape input, a 1/4" phone jack, and an electronically balanced XLR
(with switchable 48-volt phantom powering) for each input channel. Each input also has separate pre
and post accessory patch points and a direct output. Input channels 7 and 8 are front panel switchable to
stereo RIAA inputs, for use with magnetic cartridge turntable.
Group 1~4 output connections are RCA and 1/4" phone jacks; each features separate pre and post
accessory patch points (RCA). Stereo L, R and Sum output connections are individual RCA's, 1/4" phone
jacks, and electronically balanced XLR's with ground lift switches. Stereo L, R and Sum outputs also
feature pre and post accessory patching jacks.
The MIDI jacks are also located on the rear panel. "A" or "B" MIDI inputs are assignable to four
MIDI-THRU outputs (expandable to 16), allowing the use of multiple MIDI instruments without the data
loss or delay that may occur when several instruments are connected serially through their internal
MIDI-THRU jacks. Each MIDI-THRU output is provided with a front panel mounted on/off switch.
Also on the rear panel are a Buss-Link connector for connecting D-5.5 Expander units, separate 1/4"
phone jacks for stereo L, R Cue buss input and outputs, Aux 1, 2 sends and returns, external Reverb send
and return, and Effects send and return; a push button circuit breaker, chassis ground post, and six-foot
AC power cord complete the rear panel.
The D-5.5 combines with one D-5.5E for 20-inputs or two D-5.5E's for 32 input channels. Both units can
be mounted in a standard 19" rack, or may be used in a console configuration by removing the rack ears,
rotating the rear panel 90 degrees, and attaching the included wooden side panels. The mixers are

Front Panel (D-5.5)
INPUT CHANNEL
(D-5.5)
Phono EQ (RIAA) IN/OUT Switch (RIAA IN/OUT)
This switch is available for input channels 7 and 8 only and is active when a
turntable with magnetic type cartrige is connected to the Phono input channel.
The switch is a "push-in push-out" type. The "out" position provides a flat
frequency response.
Tape/Source Switch (TAPE/SOURCE)
This switch is provided for selecting the desired input signals. When monitoring
the signals from the XLR connector, phone jack and phono inputs, the switch
should be set to the "SOURCE" position. When the signal from the "Tape In"
input is desired, the switch should be set to the "TAPE" position.
Signal/Peak LED Indicator (SIG/PEAK)
The dual color LED indicator lights green when the pre or post EQ signal level
reaches more than -30dB, and turns red when the signal level reaches 3dB
below clipping, giving a visual reference for optimum setting of the trim control.
Input Level Selector (PAD)
The selector provides 30dB attenuation of the sensitivity of the XLR connector,
phone jack and phono inputs at the "30" position. The "0" position shows the
sensitivity indicated on the panel. The correct setting should be made according
to the output level of the equipment connected.
Input Trim Control (TRIM)
The trim control adjusts the gain of the preamp stage of the associated channel,
providing 30dB of gain control. When the trim control is set to the "0" position
with the input level selector at the "0" position, the nominal levels of the
associated inputs are as follows.
a. Mic input: -60dB
b. Tape input: -20dB
c. Phono input: -50dB (Input channels, 7 and 8 only)
The trim control and input level selector of each channel should be properly
adjusted so that the peak LED just begins to turn red from green or only flash red
occasionally. This will ensure lowest distortion level and optimum signal to
noise ratio.
High Equalizer Control (HIGH)
The high EQ control alters the high frequency response of the input channel,
providing ±10dB at 4kHz, and ±15dB at 20kHz of continuously variable active
shelving equalization. The "0" detented position provides flat audio response.
Mid Equalizer Center Frequency Control (MID FREQ)
This control alters the center frequency of the mid EQ control in the range from
200Hz to 5kHz.
Mid Equalizer Control (MID LEVEL)
This control alters the mid frequency response of the input channel, providing
±15dB at the center frequency of peaking equalization. The "0" detented
position provides flat audio response.
Low Equalizer Control (LOW)
The low EQ control provides ±10dB at 150Hz and ±15dB at 20Hz of
continuously variable active shelving equalization. The "0" detented position
provides flat audio response.
AUX 1 Control (AUX 1)
This control determines the level of the input signal to be fed to the aux 1 buss.
When in the center detent position the control is off, and no signal is assigned.
Rotating the control counter-clockwise increases the amount of pre-fader/post-
EQ signal assigned to the buss. Rotating the control clockwise increases the
amount of post-fader/post -EQ signal.
Note: "Pre-fader/post-EQ" can be changed to the pre-EQ signal with an internal
switch. (See page 19 for details.)

determined by the group assign control to the group
1 and 2 busses, providing equal output to the group 1
and 2 busses at the center position. Rotating the pan
control clockwise decreases the amount of signal to
be fed to the group 2 buss, keeping the original level
of the signal for the group 1 buss, while rotating the
control counter-clockwise decreases the amount of
signal to be fed to the group 1 buss, keeping the
original level of the signal for the group 2 buss.
Cue Switch (CUE)
The cue switch is for monitoring the post-EQ,
pre-fader signal in each input channel through
headphone and cue output. The switch is a "push-on
push-off" type. When more than two switches are
"on" the signals are combined.

Procedure for Changing Internal Switch Setting
NOTE:
The internal switches have been provided for added
versatility when using the D-5.5 and D-5.5E in a
variety of applications.
AUX 1 / AUX 2 SEND PRE/POST EQ SELECTION
SWITCH: Each input features an auxiliary send control
for use as either an additional effects send, or as an
on-stage monitor send. You should note that the Aux 1
and 2 control are a "split" pot with the detent
position (12o'clock) being the off position. Typically,
the control would be rotated clockwise ("post") when
used as an effects send. This enables the effects level to
be automatically increased as the input channel level
increases. Obviously, since this signal is also derived
"post" EQ, any changes made in the input channel's EQ
settings will be reflected in the effects signal. When the
AUX 1 or 2 control is to be used as an on-stage
monitoring send, the control would typically be rotated
counter clockwise ("pre"). This allows the on-stage
monitor mix to operate independently of the input
channel's fader. In other words, any change in the input
channel's fader will not affect the level of the monitor
mix. The Aux Send Pre/Post EQ Selection Switch is
active only when the Aux 1 or 2 Control is used in the
"pre" (counter clockwise) position. When the switch is
set to the "pre" EQ position, the input channel's EQ
controls will not affect the on-stage monitor mix. This is
particularly desirable when the input source is a
microphone. Since an on-stage monitor system is
normally operated near acoustic feedback, a change in
EQ (especially an increase in high frequencies) may
cause ringing or squealing (feedback) through the
on-stage monitor speaker system. However, when the
input source is a synthesizer, musical instrument, etc.,
which is not so susceptible to feedback, you may desire
to place the switch in the "post" EQ position so that the
input channel EQ will affect that instrument in the
monitor mix.
NOTE:
The Aux 1 and 2 controls are unable to independently
derive the pre or post EQ signal via the pre/post EQ
selection switch, but always derive the same signal.
Also the selection switch provides the pre or post EQ
signal for the cue switch.
WARNING
The D-5.5 and D-5.5E contain voltage levels that may be
hazardous to human life. Always disconnect the power
cord from wall outlet prior to removing either unit's
outer case.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the four screws that secure the bottom panel
to the main chassis, and carefully remove the panel
