Configuration
Many StudioComm functions can be
configured to meet the exact needs of
your installation. Here’s an overview of
what you can configure:
• –10dBV or +4dBu level for each input
• Stereo or mono for each input
• –10dBV or +4dBu level for the dub
output
• Dim level
• Auto dim off function
• Studio source follows control room or
headphone source
• Headphone source is independently
selected or follows control room
source
• Momentary or latching operation for
mono, talk to studio, talk to phones,
and slate buttons
• Talk to phones interrupts or adds to
phones source
• Slate feed to phones
• 50Hz slate tone on or off
• Dub source is independently selected
or follows control room source
• Remote control room source select
parameters
The Configure button allows the Model 51
to go into the configure mode. While in the
configure mode, all the Model 51’s buttons
and LEDs are associated with configure
functions. Refer to the Model 51 Configu-
ration Chart later in this section.
To enter the configure mode, press and
hold the Configure button for two sec-
onds. While in the configure mode, all
audio outputs switch off and the orange
LED beside the Configure button will flash.
As you make changes, the Model 51
keeps track of the new settings and up-
dates the system when you exit the config-
ure mode. You must exit the configure
mode before any changes take effect.
Input Sensitivity
The CR/Studio column of seven red LEDs
shows you whether an input is set to be
compatible with –10dBV or +4dBu signal
levels. When a red LED in the CR/Studio
column is off, it means the input is set to
–10dBV. When lit, the corresponding input
is set to +4dBu. Just press the CR/Studio
buttons to toggle inputs 1 through 7
between –10dBV and +4dBu.
For convenience, Input 7 is located on the
front panel of the Model 50. It has a green
LED beside it labeled +4 Input Level.
When lit, it tells you that Input 7 is set for
+4dBu. This means each time you con-
nect a new signal to Input 7, you don’t
have to go into the configure mode to
determine the input sensitivity. You should
note, however, that configure settings
aren’t updated until you leave the config-
ure mode, so the +4 Input Level LED
won’t reflect a change until you exit.
Stereo/Mono Input
The Phones/Studio column of seven green
LEDs indicates whether an input is config-
ured for mono or stereo operation. When
an LED in this column is off, the input is
set for stereo; the LED on means the
corresponding input is set for mono. In
mono mode, the left input is sent out both
the left and right outputs. To toggle a
channel between stereo and mono, press
and hold the Phones/Studio button and
