UNPACKING
Your ASP500 Series Controller has been
carefully and meticulously tested and
inspected before despatch.
Please check for any signs of transit
damage. If any signs of mishandling are
found please notify the carrier and your
dealer immediately.
Your ASP500 Series Controller packing
should contain an ASP510 Surround
Processor rack unit, an ASP510 Remote
Control, a mains power cord, and a CAT5
interconnecting cable, along with this
manual.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read all of these instructions and
save them for later reference before
attempting to connect the ASP510 to the
AC power source. To prevent electrical
shock and fire hazard follow all the
warnings and instructions marked on the
ASP510 Surround Processor rack unit.
· This unit is connected via its power
cord to the mains safety earth.
NEVER OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THIS
EARTH CONNECTION REMOVED
FUSES
Please note that the fuse ratings for the
two voltage ranges are different 20mm
T250mA for the 230v setting and 20mm
T500mA for the 115v setting. Always
replace fuses with the same type. The
mains fuse is very unlikely to fail under
normal use and caution should be
excercised if a failure should occur. Check
the mains voltage setting, condition of the
mains cord and integrity of the mains
supply before replacing the fuse.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The ASP510 consists of two units, a 1u
rack mount processor and a small remote
control, which would normally be sited on
the main mixing console control surface
or on the desk top adjacent to a DAW.
The ASP510 rack processor is fan cooled
and care should be taken not to obstruct
the units ventilation holes. Adequate air
flow must be provided within rack cases
to prevent the unit from overheating.
The front panel of the ASP510 Remote
Control features a rugged under-surface
printed polycarbonate overlay. Exposure to
direct sunlight for extended periods should
be avoided as this can have a detrimental
effect on the overlay panel.
· Check that the correct operating
voltage has been set for your AC mains
supply
· Check that the fuse fitted is the
correct type for the mains voltage selected
· Always replace fuse with the correct
type.
MAINS POWER SUPPLY
VOLTAGES
The ASP510 Surround Processor rack unit
features an external mains voltage selector.
Switched to the 230v position the unit will
operate without performance degradation
from 210v to 250v. In the 115v setting it
will accept from 105v to 125v. Do not
attempt to operate the unit outside the
ranges defined above.
For 100v operation please contact your
dealer.

Operation Manual
Installation
The ASP510 Controller has been designed
and developed to provide highly robust
system integration interfaces, allowing
worry-free system hook-up under the most
demanding situations.
Inputs and outputs are implemented using
advanced electronically balanced or ground
sensing topologies and are fitted with
extensive RFI rejection networks.
PIN CONVENTIONS
Signal interfaces are provided on 25 pin D
Sub type connectors with 4-40 screw
thread jack posts. Wiring is in accordance
with the DA88 convention. Pin allocations
are shown in detail on the next page.
Important : When preparing your D-SUB
interface cables please note that the
maximum shell size that can be
accommodated is 18 x 60mm.
To unbalance the outputs of the ASP510
the -ve Pin should be connected to its
adjacent 0v pin at the output of the ASP510
Surround Processing rack unit. Similarly,
inputs from unbalanced sources should be
connected via twin screened cables with
the -ve Pin connection tied to the screen at
the unbalanced source.
In order to maintain optimum EMC
performance it is important that screens
are properly connected at both ends of
cable runs.
In this way the electromagnetic shield
provided by the equipment chassis and
the cable screens will be optimised to
reject interference. It is recommended that
only high quality braided screen cables
are used to avoid compromising EMC
performance.
