DESCRIPTION
The Altec Lansing 1707C/1715C Mixer/Power
Amplifier is a six channel user-configurable main
frame amplifier. By selecting from the large array of
system component options, the 1707C/1715C can become a six-in/one-out microphone mixer/amp­lifier or a one-in/six-out distribution preamplifier.
The basic mainframe combines a fully protect
ed 75-watt (for the 1707C) or 150-watt (for the
1715C) power amplifier with six ports which can
be input or output. Multiple 1707C/1715C main frames can be linked together for situations where more then six input/output ports are required.
Built-in features include a trap-door on the top panel for easy access into the unit, compressor/­limiter, low and high frequency shelving equalizers, muting, remote volume control capability, and a
tone generator which produces four different
sounds.
Input Modules: The Altec Lansing 1780A/-
1780AT Input module and the 1781A/1781AT
Programmable Input module accept either mic or line level signals through a wide variety of connec tor interfaces.
Output Modules: The Altec Lansing 1783 Line
Output module allows the user to interface with other professional equipment.
The Altec Lansing model 1707C/1715C mix-
er/power amplifier systems respond to most design tasks with the ease and versatility of systems costing much more. As a result, it is the choice for use in professional Installations requiring high quality, flexibility in design, and low cost.

SHELF OR RACK MOUNTING THE 1707С/ 1715C MIXER/POWER AMPLIFIERS
You may shelf mount or rack mount the main frame. For shelf or countertop applications, four rubber feet on the bottom of the chassis will protect resting surfaces and provide elevation for air flow underneath the unit. For rack or cabinet applications, remove the four rubber feet from the bottom of the chassis. Then install the unit in the rack with the screws and shoulder washers provided. The unit must have 1.75" of blank space both above and below it.
Ventiliation
The mixer/power amplifier generates minimal heat during normal use. Although the amount of generated heat is low, make sure the main frame is properly ventilated to prevent an ex cessive temperature rise. Because the output power devices (transistors) are sensitive to heat, you should not place the amplifier be tween other heat generating equipment or in areas where the ambient temperature ex ceeds 50°C (122°F).
If you mount the mainframe in an equipment rack or cabinet with other heat producing
equipment, provide adequate space between the units. Otherwise, the equipment may become too warm.
If a rack or cabinet contains several amplifiers, you may need to check the ambient air temperature. To determine the ambient air temperature, operate the system until the temperature stabilizes. Measure the ambient air with a bulb-type thermometer held at the bottom of the uppermost amplifier.
-CAUTION-
Don’t let the thermometer bulb touch
the metal chassis. The chassis might
be hotter than the ambient air.
CAUTION-
If the air temperature exceeds 60°C (140°F), place the equipment farther apart or install a blower to provide air movement within the cabinet. Make sure you don't block the air­intake holes located on the bottom of the chassis or the exhaust holes on the top cover.

Figure 7 above displays a block diagram of the mixer/power amplifier mainframe. Study it carefully. To use the system's full capabil ities, you'll need a good understanding of the inner workings of the mainframe. Brief ex planations of how the inside of the mainframe works follow in the text below.
The signal coming from each additional input module(likethe1781A, 1781AT, 1780A, or 1780AT) is simultaneously routed to the mixer/power amplifier's front-panel nominal/ peak LED indicators and to the input channel level controls. The dual LED nominal/peak displays are pre-fader and designed to monitor the output level from the corresponding input module. The nominal (green) LED in
dicators have an approximate 10 dB window over which they will illuminate. This makes it easy to properly adjust the gain for each input module while efficiently using the rest of the system in terms of performance and headroom.

Figure 7. Block Diagram of 1707C/1715C
Mixer/Power Amplifiers
The mixer/power amplifier then sums the signal at the wiper of each input channel level control into a true virtual ground sum ming node or bus. The summing amplifier has eight input channels — input channels one through six on the front panel, tone gen erator output, and the link input or LINK IN on the rear panel. The summing amplifier's output signal drives the link output, or LINK OUT, located on the rear panel of the main frame. The E.Q. and compressor/limiter sec tions are in series with each other, as shown in Figure 7. The compressor/limiter s output signal drives the preamplifier output, or
PREAMP OUT, located on the rear panel
which then provides the input signal to the
main amplifier section.
The BASS and TREBLE E.Q. controls are ideally suited to make adjustments to the overall response of the mix. The low and high frequency shelving equalizers provide *12 dB of boost and cut with the maximum boost occurring at 100 Hz and 10kHz, respectively.
The compressor/limiter section features variable release time, compression ratio, and threshold. The circuit uses a feed-forward topology that will minimize level differences for
a more nearly constant output level. The
compression ratio can approach =>o:1, and the
attack time is fixed at approximately 10 ms.
The main amplifier section protects itself and the load against radio frequency interference, spurious oscillatory waveforms, excessive temperatures, direct current, turn-on/turn-off transients, and excess voltage/current phase shift due to reactive loading.
A signal overload circuit monitors the level at the output stage of the amplifier section. The front-panel CLIP LED indicator illuminates
7
when signal levels are high enough to cause significant output clipping.
A dual slope V-l limiter protects the output devices. It keeps the output devices operating within their SOA (safe operating area) as de fined by the device manufacturer.
A special integrated circuit function block monitors the heatsink temperature, power­supply voltage, and the amplifier’s output When it detects a problem, it immediately disengages the output relay.
Output Connections
Make output connections to the seven-ter minal barrier strip connector located on the lower-left side of the mainframe's rear panel.
The 1707C main output connections include
an 8 Q direct output (24.5 vrms) and three
transformer balanced outputs; 4 Q (17.4
vrms), 25 vrms (8.3 Q), and 70.7 vrms (66.6 Q).
The 1715C main output connections include a 4 £2 direct output (24.5 vrms) and a 25 vrms
(4.2 Q), an 8 Q (34.6 vrms), and a 70.7 vrms (33.3 Q ) balanced transformer output.

LINK IN/LINK OUT Connections
The LINK IN/LINK OUT phono connectors on the mid-rear panel of the mainframe permit you to dynamically link two or more systems together. If you require more channels, the
1707C/1715C mixer/power amplifiers are fully
compatible with 1700C mixer/preamplifier. For
more information on the 1700C mixer/ preamplifier, you may order the operating
instruction manual (P/N 42-02-029241) or the specification sheet (P/N 42-07-029242) from our Order Entry Department.
The signal appearing at the LINK OUT con
nector is the summation of all input channels as mixed by the input channel level controls.
LINK IN is a direct input to a system’s mixing amplifier; it’s also a seventh Input channel.
To link two units together, connect LINK OUT of system one to LINK IN of system two. Sys tem two will now control the mix of up to twelve input channels. Please referto Figure 11 for typical linking connections.
The LINK OUT signal is not affected by the compressor/limiter or the E.Q. cir cuits.

Optional External Mute, (connected at the factory) allows external muting of the tone generator. If disconnected, the tone generator cannot be extern ally muted.
Resistance Effects of Long-Cable Runs on Mute/Tone Generator Circuits: Table III shows
the maximum allowable cable resistance (total resistance) that the mixer/power amplifier can support. Resistances greater than these values, resulting from excessively long-cable runs or small gauge wire, may cause the mute or tone generator circuitry to fail to operate. Please make sure all cable resistances are less than the values shown in Table III.

PREAMP OUT/AMP IN Connections
The PREAMP OUT signal is a mix of all input channels processed by the compressor/limiter and tone control circuits. Normally, you would insert a Ushorting bar between the PREAMP OUT and AMP IN phono connectors on the rear panel. However, you can remove the shorting bar to patch in an external equalizer
or other signal processing device with a pro
per level match of 0.775 vrms nominal. Figure 12 shows a typical application using an ex

INITIAL SETUP AND OPERATION OF MAINFRAME WITH MODULES INSTALLED
Initial Setup of an Input Module
You can buy and install the following input modules from ALTEC LANSING:
The 1781A programmable input module. The
1781AT programmable input module with 1785A input isolation transformer, and
The 1780A and 1780AT mic/line input
modules.
To initially set up an input module, follow these steps:
1 Rotate the input module s gain control to
the 12:00 o'clock (MID) position for plan ned microphone inputs or to the MIN (fully counterclockwise) position for line-level inputs. If the input type is unknown, rotate the gain control to the MIN position.
2. Rotate the high-cut (HF) filter to the FLAT position.
3. Rotate the low-cut (LF) filter to the FLAT position.
Initial Setup of an Output Module
You can buy the 1783 line output module from ALTEC LANSING. This module can be installed with or without the optional 1786 output isolation transformer (also available from Altec Lansing).
To initially set up an output module, rotate
the output module’s output level control (labeled GAIN on the rear panel) to the MIN position.
Initial Setup of the Mainframe
1. Rotate the MASTER output level control on the front panel of the mainframe to the
position (fully counterclockwise).
2. Setthecompressor/limiterON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
3. Set the tone control EQIN/DEFEAT switch to the DEFEAT position.
Operating the 1707C/1715C Mixer/Power
Amplifiers
1. Connect a source representative of the type of input signal to one of the input module positions, if any. Slowly rotate the input module's gain control clockwise un til the mixer/power amplifier's green LED
display ( — 10 dB) on the input-level front­panel section fully illuminates. This is the nominal level for providing the most effi cient performance and headroom.
The mixer/power amplifier's red LED dis play may briefly illuminate on signal
peaks. This is permissible as long as it
does not flash more than fifty percent of the time. If it does, reduce the gain of the input module by rotating its gain control counterclockwise or use an external pad.

NOTE-
The LED display precedes each front­panel input-level control. As a result, it will always indicate the nominal and peak levels regardless of input channel settings. Please refer to the mainframe block diagram shown in Figure 7.
Once the gain is set for each input module channel, rotate the front-panel input-level channel controls (CH 1-6) on the mixer/ power amplifier to their 12:00 o’clock (MID) position. Slowly increase the MAS
TER output level control on the front of
the mainframe until you hear a normal operating level through the loudspeaker system. Then readjust the input-level channel controls slightly for the desired
mix or blend of signals.
Adjust the high-cut (HF) and low-cut (LF) filters on the input module as needed for the desired response. The widest possible bandwidth occurs when you rotate both of these controls to the FLAT position. This
is the best setting for music. However, in speech-only channels, you should limit the bandwidth to help reduce noise and system feedback.
To use the mixer/power amplifier's output tone-control section, move the two-posi tion EQ IN/DEFEAT slide switch to the EQ IN position. Then adjust the BASS and TREBLE controls for the desired re sponse. From a center or 12:00 o'clock (MID) position, rotate either control clock wise to boost response or counterclock wise to cut response.
If using the tone-control section is inap
propriate for current applications, such as Acousta-Voicing, move the EQ IN/DE
FEAT slide switch to the DEFEAT position.
This disconnects the BASS and TREBLE controls.
To use the compressor/limiter section, follow this procedure:
Move the slide ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Rotate the RELEASE TIME control to its maximum position (full clockwise). Rotate the COMPRESSION RATIO con trol to minimum position (full counter clockwise). Rotate the THRESHOLD control to its 12:00 o’clock (MID) position. Begin increasing the compressor/limiter by rotating the COMPRESSION RATIO
control clockwise until you achieve the desired amount of compression or limiting. Since the amount of compression or
limiting depends on the incoming signal
level, you may need to readjust the
THRESHOLD control. To lower the trig
gering threshold, rotate the THRESHOLD control counterclockwise. If the system re quires a higher incoming signal level to
trigger the compressor/limiter, raise the threshold by rotating the THRESHOLD control clockwise.
11
NOTE-
A high compression ratio and a low threshold setting may decrease the system's apparent loudness since peak signals and parts of the nominal signal may lie above the threshold. You can correct this by raising the threshold level; just rotate the control clockwise.
6. If you installed the 1783 line output module, adjust the output level control on
the 1783 for the desired output level. The
higher the output level, the better the
signal-to-noise ratio. However, too high a
level reduces the available headroom and may cause premature clipping.
THRESHOLD
NOTE-
If you set the 1783'3 output level con trol at its MAX (full clockwise) level, the output level is -rSdBm. However, this level only applies if you use a 100 mvrms reference level on the input of the output module from the mix output bus. It also only applies if you have a balanced 600 U load.

SERVICE INFORMATION
---------------------
WARNING-------------------------
ALTEC LANSING recommends that
you do not modify its products. Such
modifications shall be at the sole ex pense of the person(s) or company re sponsible. Any damage to persons or property resulting therefrom shall not be covered under warranty or otherwise.
Power Amplifier Bias Adjustment
Figure 16, shown on the gatefold, is the schematic of the mainframe. You'll need trimpot SVR102, provided in this system's package, to set the bias of the amplifier. You should set the bias current to approximately 20 milliamps DC. To set the bias, use a battery­powered DC voltmeter capable of reading in the millivolt range and follow the procedures outlined below. If you must use an AC-pow ered voltmeter, float the AC ground wire using the appropriate adapter.
1. With the unit unplugged, remove the top cover from the unit to expose the main circuit board. See Figure 1 on page 5 for how to remove the top cover.
2. Connect the rated load impedance to the direct output of the mixer/power amplifier (8 ii for the 1707C, 4 Q for the 1715C).
3. Attach RED probe lead from the DC
voltmeter to the junction of R130 (0.27 Q emiter resistor) and the emitter of Q117.
Refer to figure 16.
4 Attach the BLACK probe lead to the junc
tion of R130 (0.27 iJ emitter resistor) and the anode of D403.
5. Locate SVR102 on the main circuit board.
Apply power and adjust SVR102 for a reading of approximately 5.5 millivolts.
Power Amplifier DC Offset Adjustment
Set the POWER switch to the OFF posi tion. Rotate the MASTER level control fully counterclockwise to the “ position.
Connect the rated load impedance for the unit to the direct output (8 Q for the 1707C, 4 O for the 1715C). Connect the DC volt meter across the load.
Locate SVR101 on the main circuit board.
Apply power and adjust SVR101 for a
reading of 0.00 VDC±10mV DC.
