SYS10K Modular Amplifier Rack System

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The SYS10K Modular Amplifier System is a flexible and efficient, high performance
audio distribution system. The SYS10K 10000 combines up to ten amplifier modules
with two power modules in a 5-1/4" high by 19" wide Eurocard specification enclosure
14-1/2" deep. All modules plug in from the front, are secured with captive hardware and
present an attractive and safe closed front panel. Aluminum extrusion construction
makes a strong and rugged enclosure and allows free convection for vertical airflow. The
basic frame provides power bussing for all positions. Individual modules are supplied
with mating connector assemblies, which mount on the rear of the card frame and plug
into the power bus. Connector assemblies provide barrier block connections with fanout
strips for studio wiring. Alternate insulation displacement, mass termination connector
systems allow simple push-on audio connections.

A wide variety of available interchangeable plug-in modules allow an optimum system to
be initially assembled at reasonable cost and expanded and upgraded as future
requirements necessitate. A partial listing of available SYS10K modules follows. Consult
factory for latest information.

DA100 - A basic one input, six outputs Distribution Amplifier. A single power stage is
split into six active balanced outputs at +22dBm each. Split and by-passed build-out
resistors give protection against shorts and RF. Balanced bridging input. Single panel
level control sets all outputs. Headphone monitor jack.

MDA100 - Metered One-by-Six Distribution Amplifier. Adds a LED Bargraph VU Meter to
the basic amplifier described above. Measures -21 to +6 VU with 0 VU adjustable for
outputs from 0 to +18dBm. Signal Alarm indicator and output warns of dead channel.

CDA100 - Compressing One-by-Six Distribution Amplifier. Adds a Gated Compressor to
the MDA100. Controls on inputs above -30d8m. Compression Slope adjustable up to
20:1. Input level sensor gates compressor gain recovery to prevent background noise
build-up during program pauses. Meter is switchable to Output or Gain Reduction levels.
Switchable linear amplifier mode.

IDA100 - Independent Six-Output Distribution Amplifier. Individual trimmers provided for
each output along with a Master Level control. Headphone output plus six transformers
coupled (IDA100-1) or active balanced (IDAI00-2) outputs.

MIDA100 - Metered Independent Output Distribution Amplifier. Six Transformer (-I) or
Active Balanced (2) outputs with independent level trim controls. A LED Bargraph meter
is switchable to all outputs and the input. Master level control and headphone output.
