HDS-16/HRM-16 HEADPHONE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
HRM-16
REMOTE MIXER
The HRM-16s receive their input signals and
power supply entirely through the Centronics
cable from the HDS-16. Eight mono and four
stereo channels can be mixed and monitored
with head phones or sent to a monitor system.
The eight mono channels may be routed to
the EFFECTS SEND output on the rear panel.
The effected signal is returned to the HRM-16
through the stereo effect returns on the rear
panel and blended into the mix with the EF-
FECTS RETURN level control. The HRM-16
can be easily mount ed on a microphone stand
with the thumb screws and clip provided, or
placed on a table or shelf.
TOP PANEL
The top panel provides:
■
Level controls for four STEREO SOURCES;
■
EFFECTS SEND, L/R pan, and level controls
for each of eight mono channels;
■
MASTER volume control;
■
HI and LO shelving EQ controls with 12 dB
boost and cut;
■
TALKBACK VOLUME control, TALK button,
and built-in microphone;
■
EFFECTS RETURN level control.
TALKBACK
Press the TALK button and speak in the direc-
tion of the built-in microphone above the button
(three small holes in the shape of a triangle).
The microphone will pick up voices from up to
six ft away so you do not need to speak directly
into it. Use the TALKBACK VOLUME control to
alter the level of incoming talkback information.
See page 4 for a complete description of the
talkback functions.
REAR PANEL
The HDS-16/HRM-16 system can be connect-
ed in parallel or series without compromising
sound quality or power as long as no more
than four HRM-16s are connected in series
from a single HDS-16 output.
■
Parallel: Each HRM-16 is connected directly to
the HDS-16 in a star con fi g u ra tion.
■
Series: One HRM-16 is connected directly to
the HDS-16 with additional HRM-16’s con-
nect ed together in a daisy chain.
Two, 50-pin, Centronics connectors are located
on the right of the HRM-16’s rear panel:
