Aphex 5200 RC Interface - Manual (Page 4)

YAMAHA
Console Interface Operations
Using a Yamaha digital console to remotely
control your Aphex 1788A or 188, remote con-
trolled preamps. You will need to (depending on
which Yamaha console you are interfacing with)
come out of the serial RS-422 or MIDI data port
of your Yamaha console into the Model 5200.
From the Model 5200, you will come out Ethernet
into a router. The router will have to connect to
an Ethernet switch at the preamps and the switch
will need to have adequate connections to connect
the amount of Aphex remote pres that you have.
Each Aphex 1788A or 188, will need to be set
with it’s own unique NET number, from 1 to 16.
You cannot have two pres with the same NET
number!
The Gain limits on the Aphex pres is 26dB to 65
dB. The gain range on the Yamaha faders is ∞ to
+10dB.
*You must have the digital outs of the Aphex pres
connected to the digital inputs of your Yamaha
console!
On the DM 2000, you can program the midi out
to Aphex midi protocol. Otherwise, you will need
to connect the Model 5200, to a Yamaha console
via an RS-422 serial cable. Then the 5200, will
translate the Yamaha protocol to Aphex Ethernet
commands.
Set up your Yamaha console for the Yamaha
AD8HR remote pres as described in your Yamaha
owners manual Slot 1, 1-8, Slot 2, 9-16. Ext. HA
port select Slot 1, 1-8
Connect the Aphex pres to your console. Select
the master clock source for your system and slave
all of the other clocks from that clock source.
“Do not daisy chain the word clock!” Use a word
clock distribution amplifier or if you have the
Aphex Anaconda 828M, full word clock distribu-
tion is provided by it.
To control the Aphex remote pres by the faders
on your Yamaha console you will need to set the
fader mode to AUX/MTRX.
Now you have to press the Remote Wakeup but-
ton on the Model 5200.
Adjusting the faders on your Yamaha console in
the AUX/MTRX mode will control the gain of the
Aphex pres. Putting the fader mode back to fader
you are controlling the mix.
Important Notes
1. Be sure your DHCP server has ports 1198 and
1199 available and unlocked.
2. Only one DHCP Server can be allowed to exist
on the LAN. If ant additional routers are attached
to the LAN, the must have their DHCP servers
disabled.
3. We do not recommend using HUBS only
switches on the LAN.
4. If there are any fixed IP address on the LAN
other than the Aphex 1788A’s or 188’s, or com-
puters, you will need your network administrator
to make sure they are not duplicated.
5. There cannot be a firewall splitting up any part
of the LAN. But the whole LAN can be inside a
firewall.
* The Yamaha M7CL is a single layer device and
will not natively control our pres.!
