1 Welcome! Safety First 2
Welcome to the world of Angry Audio,
home of the audio Gadgets and Gizmos.
The future we were all promised has, at least as of this writing, failed to manifest
itself. There are no flying cars. Jetpacks never took off (see what we did there?).
And tragically, we have no robotic housekeepers in mid-century maid outfits
picking up after us and cracking wise in a Brooklyn accent.
The audio world, on the other hand, has advanced quickly, as one look at
a modern broadcast studio will reveal. Technology has opened up creative
possibilities that would have been impossible just a few years ago. What hasn’t
changed is the importance of getting the basics right and sweating the details.
A good studio is built by including components that make it a convenient and
enjoyable place to create the content that dazzles your listeners, drives traffic to
your advertisers, and lets you hang onto your ski boat for another summer.
Accordingly, every audio Gadget and Gizmo – including this Button Gizmo
– is designed to solve common yet critical problems, and is meticulously
engineered with performance and longevity in mind to deliver pristine audio and
reliable performance for many years.
Our promise and guarantee.
In a recent survey, ten out of three people loved their Button Gizmo and we
think you will too. That’s why we give you 30 days to bond with your Gizmo. If
you find you have irreconcilable differences, we’ll buy it back.
A word or two about safety.
The Button Gizmo is a relatively low-risk product to make, install, and use in
terms of liability. There aren’t many places things can go horribly awry safetywise.
Then again, we thought the same thing when we introduced the TubToaster, an
appliance that should have saved buyers lots of time in the morning by allowing
them to simultaneously shower and make a light breakfast. Instead - how can
we put this delicately? – it quickly eroded any future customer base and denied
a lot of people the simple pleasure of perfectly toasted rye bread.
Along with a promise to mothball our gas-powered upright vacuum (it seemed
the logical progression of the cordless concept to us) we agreed to talk about
safety, so here goes.
The Button Gizmo is intended to be installed and used by qualified personnel
only. To avoid electric shock, do not open the unit or attempt to perform any
servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
Plus, every Gadget and Gizmo is warrantied to be free from defects in parts
and workmanship for two full years after you purchase it. If it fails within this
time period, Angry Audio, at its discretion, will repair or replace it so long as
you let us know of the failure within the warranty period and can provide proof
of purchase in the form of a dated sales receipt. You can call us at +1 615-7633033, or reach us online at at www.angryaudio.com/contact.
Making a good rst impression.
When you unbox your Button Gizmo, we hope it makes a good first impression
and you take a moment to appreciate the lengths we’ve gone to in order to
create a “built for broadcast” product. All of our products are over-engineered
to provide long-term reliability and guaranteed RFI immunity. Some of this is
apparent – such as the durable powder-coated steel enclosure - but much of
this goodness is invisible, like the premium components within. Even if you can’t
see it, you’ll hear it!
While the Button Gizmo does not have its own power supply, it does receive
DC voltage from the console to which it is wired, and hazardous voltages may
be present on external components.
Do not expose your Gizmo or its power supply to rain or moisture. Any
electronic device can fail without warning; do not use this product in
applications where a life threatening condition could result due to failure.

3 Overview and Installaon Installaon Template 4
So, what exactly did I just buy?
Fair question. The Button Gizmo is a guest microphone control panel with four
LED illuminated pushbuttons that elegantly mounts into your countertop. When
you push one of the buttons, something happens. Exactly what is entirely up to
you.
For example?
By default, the buttons are labeled ON, OFF, MUTE, and TALK. Thanks to
the magic of logic control, you can make them perform any task that can be
executed with GPIO. The button caps are removable so you can replace the
stock labels with your own.
Can I use it with any console?
The Button Gizmo is meant to interface with any console with GPIO logic.
Various manufacturers use different pin-outs and logic signals, so please
consult your console manual for details.
How easy is it to install?
The Button Gizmo is designed to be installed directly into your studio furniture
in a location that is practical and convenient.* The only tools required are a
power drill and a 2 1/8 inch hole saw to create the grommet hole; a router is not
required. The Gizmo is then secured with four screws. Spacing and dimensions
are shown along with a handy to-scale template suitable for printing on Page 4.
Electrically-speaking, we include a DB15M to RJ45F adapter that is pre-wired
to work as a Guest Mic Control Panel for Axia consoles. Plug the adapter into
a GPIO port on the console or node using a standard CAT5 cable, and you’re
in business. We also throw in an RJ45F to screw terminal adapter to make
interfacing with other consoles as easy as possible.
One handy-dandy printable template.
1. This template can be used as a guide for locating holes. Your printer must
be set to print this page at 100% actual size. If your printer shrinks images
to fit the page, the dimensions will be wrong. Measure the printed page with
a ruler to make sure the printed dimensions match the actual size.
2. Once you’ve decided where you want your Button Gizmo, tape the template
to your desktop. Remember to leave at least 12 inches between the edge of
the desk facing the user and the Gizmo. Use an awl or center punch at all
five hole centers and remove the template.
* - If you want to install the Button Gizmo in a location that is impractical,
inconvenient, or both, you do you.
3. Drill the 2.125 inch diameter center hole. This hole must go completely
through the table.
4. For hardwood, plywood or MDF desktops, drill a 1/16 inch pilot hole for
each corner hole. Use the four thoughtfully included flathead wood screws
to secure the Gizmo. Do not over-tighten.
5. For desktops constructed of other materials including stone or glass or
those of a hollow (honeycomb) construction, the corner holes must be
0.1375 inch diameter through holes to allow a flathead bolt (not thoughtfully
provided) to pass through the desktop and secured with a nut (also not
provided) from beneath.

Connections.
The Button Gizmo is designed to behave as a plug-and-play Guest Mic Control
Panel for Axia consoles. You will need one available GPIO port for each Button
Gizmo. Simply plug the included RJ45F to DB15M adapter into the back of the
Button Gizmo, then connect it to the GPIO port with a standard CAT5 Ethernet
cable. For the curious, a breakout of the wiring is provided on Page 7.
Other manufacturers use different pin-outs and logic signals, so please consult
your console manual for details and refer to the RJ45 pinout on Page 6. We’ve
thoughtfully included an RJ45F to screw terminal breakout adapter to make
things easier.
