Introduction
The Bridge 2001 Digital Audio Network Router rackmount unit occu-
pies four 19” wide rack (total height 7”) with 16” depth.
The2001isaunitthatcantakeupto512discreteanaloganddigitalaudio
inputsin AudioEngineering Society(AES) format,and switchthemto any
of 512 separate outputs. The unit’s backplane carries these signals via 32
16xTDM busses. Various input sources place the AES signals onto the
TDM busses, while output cards can select any combination of signals to
take off the TDMs to drive their output channels.
Systems can start small with a single cage and only a few cards; chassis
can be stacked to form a larger central system. Cages can be separated by
verylongdistanceswithmanystudiosconnectedtoyourcentralrackroom,
providing shared resources yet still permitting independently functioning
satellite studios, each with its own combination of analog and digital input
andoutputcards andconnector modulesspecifically selectedto suita large
varietyofgear.Individual2001switchesmaybeconnectedtogethertoform
a “Multi-Tiered” switch. This switch is arranged in a star topology, with a
central Hub switch connected to up to 14 satellite switches. This system
allows as many as 7168 channels of data comprising a maximum of 2048
input signals and 2048 outputs to be switched.

Power Supply
The 2001 is powered by an SPS-180, SPS-400 or SPS-40 power
supply installed in a Wheatstone Model PSR rackmount unit. The PSR
unit occupies two 19” wide rack spaces (total height 3-1/2”) and houses
upto four SPS-180 or up to two SPS-400 or SPS-40 power supply units.
Do not mount heat generating devices in the same rack cabinet.
Avoid locating any high gain equipment (such as phono preamps,
tape recorders, etc.) too near the rackmount supplies, to avoid magnetic
interference into that equipment.
This power supply contains high voltage circuits that are hazardous
and potentially harmful. Under no circumstances should the metal
coverberemoved! Ifyouhaveaproblemwiththepowersupply,theunit
must be returned to Wheatstone Corporation for repair.
Oncethesupplyisrackmounted,it

the factory supplied cable(s). If the

rear of the chassis). If you are using
twosupplies(failsafeoption),onesup-
ply will connect to each 2001 connec-
tor; otherwise only one connector will
be used (it does not matter which one).
When the 2001 is powered by the SPS-
40unit,thereis anadditional rearPWI-
40 module that is mounted next to the

two power supplies (failsafe option) the second power supply will be
pluggedintotheremainingpowerconnectorsontherearPWIH(PWI)-
2001 and PWI-40 modules.
Note that the power supply cable’s 10-pin female connector has to
be rotated until its locating pins match the male mating connector on
the rear of the 2001 chassis. Do not force a connector on; it attaches
easily when properly aligned. Connect the cable(s) first to the 2001,
then to the rear of the rackmount power supply.
Note that each power supply is fitted with a 3-wire grounded AC
cord that should be plugged into a "clean" AC power source. This
source should be a separate feed from those powering lighting, air-
conditioning,oranyothernon-audiomachinery. Thethirdpinground
wireoftheACsourceshouldbetiedtothecentralsystemgroundpoint.
Failsafe Dual Redundant Supply
Wheatstone failsafe power supply systems use two SPS-180,
SPS-400 or SPS-40 rackmount power supplies for each piece of
poweredequipment.Thougheitheriscapableofrunningafullloadon
its own, in failsafe operation both units run in tandem: if one fails, the
other takes over, assuring uninterrupted operation.
In order for failsafe systems to perform as designed, always have
BOTH rackmount supplies powered up and connected to their associ-
ated equipment.
Energizing
Assuming the 2001 and its PSR power supply are correctly
rackmounted,youmaynowenergizethePSRrackmountpowersupply
by plugging it into the AC mains.
Note: To de-energize the 2001, unplug the rackmount power
supply’s AC cord from the AC mains. Never de-energize the 2001 by
disconnecting the cable that connects the router and power supply
together.

I/O Connections
A family of I/O connector modules plug right into the cage rear to
give you a choice of DB-25 or RJ-45 connections for analog or digital
audio interface, or BNC connectors for use with 75 ohm digital audio
equipment. RJ-45 connectors are also available for use with CAT-5
wiring systems. The DB-9 connectors are used for connections to the
serial interface.
The Insulation Displacement Connector System
The DB-25 and DB-9 I/O wiring interface system is based on
insulation displacement technology. A special AMP wiring tool is
included with each system; it is auto-indexing, and allows individual
wire connections to be positively made with a single squeeze of the
tool's trigger. The trigger action is ratchet controlled, and will not
release until a full connection is made. Once released, the multipin
connector held in the tool's jaw automatically indexes to the next
connector pin. The technology is such that no stripping, soldering or
tinning of wire ends is required; all that is needed is for the wires
destined for the connector be snub cut and laid out in order (although
tubing should be used on bare drain wires). An empty DB-25 or
DB-9connectorisinsertedintothetool,indexedtothefirstpin,andthe
wires are inserted one by one into the jaw and the trigger squeezed. In
this way a single multipin connector can be completely wired up in a
minute or two.
Intheeventofawiringerror,connectorpinsmayeasilyberemoved

Digital Audio Connections
CABLE-AllAES/EBUinputandoutputdigitalaudioconnections
are balanced and should be made using a high quality digital audio
cable.Besure toselect adigital audiocable withan integraldrain wire
of the same wire gauge (AWG) as the twisted pair as this facilitates an
easierconsistentterminationprocess.TypicalAES/EBUdigitalaudio
cable has a very low characteristic capacitance per ft (pF/ft), and a
nominal impedance of 110Ω. High quality digital audio cable offers
better signal transmission performance versus typical analog audio
cable,especiallyoverlongcableruns.Checkthecablemanufacturer’s
data sheet to be sure the cable you plan to use will work in your
application.
CONNECTORS - Typically, all AES/EBU connections are made
with the supplied DB-25 male mating connectors. These crimp style
connectors are the insulation displacement type and will accept wire
gauge24-22AWG.Ifanoptionalrearpanelconnectortype(e.g.BNC,
RJ-45, etc.) was specified and shipped with your system, please refer
tothematingconnectormanufacturer'srecommendationsfortermina-
tion instructions.
Unbalanced Analog Connections
ANALOG INPUTS — Wire to the router input end with typical
shielded, two conductor cable (like Belden 9451), just as if you were
connecting a balanced source. At the unbalanced source machine’s
output,connectthe+outputtotheHIinputwireandconnectthesource
machine GND wire to LO, connect the shield at one end only .
Note: Unbalanced analog sources typically have -10dBv (316mV
RMS) signal levels and will not match the 2001 nominal operating
level of +4dBu (1.23V RMS). We highly recommended that you first
externally balance any unbalanced sources you plan on connecting to
the2001. Many third party“match boxes” are commercially available
for this.
ANALOG OUTPUTS — Use a balanced output circuit which
behavesexactly like the secondaryof a high-quality transformer, with
no center tap—this output is both balanced and floating. For unbal-
anced operation, either the HI orLO side of the analog output must be
strappedtogroundoftheunbalancedinput,withtheoutputtakenfrom
theother side. (Normallyyouwould strap LOto ground, and useHI to
feed your unbalanced equipment input.) Leave the SH floating at one
end.

Unbalanced Digital Connections (SPDIF)
SPDIF INPUTS - The SPDIF (Sony/Phillips Digital Interface) or
“consumer” digital audio interface is a two wire unbalanced signal
typicallyonasingleRCAstyleconnector.NotethattheSPDIFsignallevel
ofapproximately500mVand75ohmimpedancedoesnotcorrectlymatch
the 2001 AES inputs. We highly recommend using a “balun” or format
converterwheninterfacing “consumer”grade sourcedevicestothe2001.
In cases where a consumer grade device must be interfaced and the
appropriate matchingdeviceis notavailable,try wiringtheSPDIFcenter
conductor (HOT) to the HI input pin and SPDIF shell (ground) to the LO
input. Connect SH at the 2001 router end only.
SPDIFOUTPUTS-TheBridge2001digitaloutputsarefixed,profes-
sional, AES-3 formatted outputs. SPDIF consumer format is not sup-
ported. Use an external format converter to connect the digital outputs to
consumer gear.
