8 GENERAL PRECA UTIONS Avoid storing or using the mixing console in conditions of excessive heat or cold, or in positions where it is likely to be subject to vibration, dust or moisture. Do not use any liquids to clean the fascia of the unit: a soft dry cloth is ideal. Avoid using the console close to strong sources of electromagnetic radiation (e.[...]

9 INITIAL WIRING CONSIDERA TIONS For optimum performance, it is essential for the earthing system to be clean and noise free, as all signals are referenced to this earth. A central point should be decided on for the main earth point system, and all earths should be 'star fed' from this poin t. It is common electrical practice to `daisy ch[...]

10 POINTS T O REMEMBER When using balanced connections use good quality twin screened audio cable. Check for instability at the output. Always connect both conductors at both ends, and ensure that the screen is only connected at one end. Do not disconnect the mains earth from each piece of equipment. This is needed to provide both safety and screen[...]

11 INSPECTION AND INST ALLA TION UNP A CKING AND INSPECTION Y our 1605/1603 was carefully packed at the factory , and the container was designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend careful examination of the shipping carton and its contents for any sign of physical damage which could have occurred in transit. If dama[...]

Replacing The Channel F aders Using a 2mm Allen key undo and remove the 2 screws which secure the fader to the fader panel. Unplug the 8-pin connector , appying slight lateral fo[...]

14 ENABLING THE EXTERNAL MUTE FEA TURE The factory default is that this feature is disabled. There is therefore no need to fit a shorting wire between the two n.c. (normally closed) contacts if you do not want to use this feature. T o enable this feature the internal switch which shorts the two n.c. contacts must be opened. Before doing this ensure[...]

18 USING THE CONSOLE USING THE CONSOLE USING THE CONSOLE USING THE CONSOLE USING THE CONSOLE MIC / DJ CHANNEL 1 The Channel 1 has a slightly different arrangement from the other input channels. There are four differences between this channel and all of the others. They are: The mic input to this channel can be made to form part of a venue’s emerg[...]

19 Mid This gives a cut or boost of +/-12dB to frequencies centred at 600Hz Low This gives a cut or boost of +/-12dB to frequencies below 60Hz On When this switch is depressed its internal LED lights up. This indicates that the channel’s signal is being routed to the master section. The cue signal (see below) is not affected by the position of th[...]

20 CHANNELS 2-7 (2-4 ON 1603) Mic This switch is a ‘push on, push off’ type. When this switch is pushed down, the MIC input on the rear connector panel is selected. A LED in the switch lights up to show that the mic is selected. When the switch is in the ‘up’ position the phono or line input is selected (dependiing on the position of the ph[...]

21 Cue Pressing this button routes the pre-fader signal to the headphones and meters. A LED in the switch indicates when Cue is selected. Signal-Beat-P eak LED This LED is green to show when a signal is present, yellow flashes show the beat, and red shows overload. Fader The fader controls the level of the channel’s signal being fed to the A/Mast[...]

23 Meters The L & R bargraph meters show , by default, the signal levels at the Master Left and Right outputs. If any Cue switch on the desk is pressed the meters display the level of the cued signal. Split Switch If the Split switch is depressed the meters will show a mono sum of the cued signal on the left meter , and a mono sum of the pr e- [...]

24 Booth EQ The booth eq has two bands. Both controls give a cut/boost of +/-6dB. Level The level of the booth outputs is controlled via this pot. Left/Stereo/Right This 3-position works as follows: left: mono signal is fed to booth left ouput only stereo: normal stereo right: mono signal is fed to booth right ouput only Dim When depressed this swi[...]

25 EXTERNAL MUTE OPERA TION If the external mute mode is enabled the following happens when the n.c. link on the rear of the console goes open circuit: The pre-insert signal from the mic on channel 1 is routed directly to the master outputs, bypassing all level controls and eq controls. Its level is set only by the pre-set level control underneath [...]

29 Earth Loop (Ground Loop): The result when the equipment sees more than one path to the system earth. Current flows because a resistive loop susceptible to radio and mains interference is formed. In severe cases this can result in audible hum or buzz in the system. Breaking the loop by removing all but one path to earth usually solves the problem[...]

30 Polarity: Sometimes erroneously referred to as ‘phase’ this is the + / - sense of a balanced signal or loudspeaker connection. Reversed polarity should be avoided and checked for as it can cause uncomfortable phasing effects as the listener moves between the speakers. Polarity Reverse is often used to correct for wrongly wired cables and con[...]
