Attention!
This console contains static sensitive devices:
Normal precautions against static discharge should be observed when
handling individual modules. In particular, modules being packed for shipping
for return or repair must be packed in special static protection bags before
packaging. Damage caused by static discharge may not be covered under
warranty.
Replacing Modules in a Powered-up Console:
While in an emergency situation it is possible to remove and insert modules
on a powered-up console, Wheatstone does not recommend this procedure.
Whenever possible it is best to power down the console first before removing
or replacing modules.
However, if you find you must proceed with this operation, then be sure to
take the following precaution:
!
When re-inserting a module, take care to replug it squarely into its
mainframe connector socket, so all edgecard fingers make contact
simultaneously. In other words, the gold-plated bus connector fingers on the
bottom edge of the module's printed circuit board must be inserted squarely
(i.e., perpendicular) to the mating socket on the bottom pan of the console
mainframe. The intent is to prevent a situation where one of the module'spower pins makes significant contact before the others. (Naturally, this
same precaution must be taken when using extenders.)
If the above instructions are followed the procedure should be routine; if they
are not, you could run the risk of damaging the console's logic chips.
Again, to avoid ANY possibility of this damage, whenever possible we
strongly recommend powering down the console before replacing any modules.

EXTRACTOR TOOLS
Module Removal Tools
Your Audioarts RD audio console is equipped with two
"module extractor tools" which are mounted underneath the
console armrest, to the far right (just above and to the left of
the righthand mainframe headphone jack).
Main module faceplates are held into the console mainframe by two
mounting screws (top and bottom). When removed the screws leave
specially threaded holes that accept the two extractor tools.
To remove a module faceplate from the mainframe:
Remove the front top and bottom mounting screws. Remove the extractor
tools from underneath the armrest, and screw each tool into a module
faceplate mounting hole. Use only four or five turns (do not over-insert; you
may damage the threaded mainframe hole underneath). Using the extractor
tools as handles, pull the module straight up out of the mainframe.

INSTALLATION and POWER
Installation and Power
Countertop Mounting
The RD digital audio console is designed for countertop drop-in
mounting. Console placement should avoid proximity to any electromagnetic fields, such as large power transformers, motors, and fluorescent lighting fixtures. The required cut-out width is 31 5/8” for RD-12
or 43 5/8” for RD-20, and cut-out front-to-back dimension is 18 3/8”.
The front of the console will extend approximately one inch forward of
the cut-out. The console’s wooden sidepieces will extend about 7/8” on
either side of the cut-out width.
Clearances
Note the two module extractor tools (black thumbwheel screws)
mounted in the front surface of console’s lower mainframe pan (just
above and to the left of the righthand headphone jack). These must be
removed before lowering the console into its cutout!
Once in place the console mainframe pan will extend approximately 5 1/2 inches below the countertop surface. Note the hinged
meterbridge will require 10 1/2” above the countertop surface to open
freely. When fully open the meterbridge will extend 5 1/2” behind the
rear line of the cut-out. When closed, the meterbridge will extend
2 1/2” behind this rear cut-out line and 6 1/4” above the countertop
surface.
Do not connect the RD console to its power supply (and do not
connect the power supply to the AC power line) until instructed to
do so.
System Ground
The first step is to ground the console.
Note that as supplied from the factory, console rackmount power
supply common, audio ground, and the RD mainframe are connected
together at the console, but are NOT connected to electrical ground and
the chassis of the power supply. Safety requirements dictate that a
positive connection from the console mainframe to electrical ground be

GROUNDING SCHEME
made in the completed installation. Use one of the grounding lugs on
the bottom of the mainframe to establish your system ground. The
grounding lug terminal strip may be found at the rear of the console,
along the bottom edge of the mainframe pan directly under the
rightmost mainframe slots (to the lower left if you are looking at the rear
of the console).
The system ground serves two important purposes:
(1) It provides a zero signal reference point for the entire audio system;
(2) It assures safety from electrical shock.
Tie the console ground lug
terminal strip to the system
earth ground. Tie every piece
of equipment in the entire
audio system to the console
ground lug terminal strip.
There exist two terms that one encounters in a discussion of ground:
(A) EARTH GROUND, which is usually a heavy copper rod driven into the
soil adjacent to the building (around 6 feet down) or a connection to the copper
water pipes leading into the building. Either is acceptable (unless, of course,
the water pipe is made of plastic).
(B) THE POWER COMPANY EARTH CONDUCTOR that enters the
building at the power line breaker box; this conductor should be (and is often
by code) tied to the above-mentioned earth ground at one point. This point is
the SYSTEM EARTH GROUND.
RD / May 2000
page 1 – 3
INSTALLATION and POWER
TIE THE CONSOLE GROUND LUG TERMINAL STRIP TO THE
SYSTEM EARTH GROUND. TIE EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN
THE ENTIRE AUDIO SYSTEM TO THE CONSOLE GROUND LUG
TERMINAL STRIP. If the system earth ground point is inaccessible, tie
the console ground terminal strip to the power company earth conductor
at the main breaker box (see drawing "Typical Grounding Scheme" on
previous page).
Each piece of equipment should be connected by its own ground wire
(usually the round third pin on the AC cord). This means that every AC
outlet must have a separate conductor run to the console ground lug
terminal strip; the outlets cannot be daisy-chained as is normally encountered in commercial and residential AC systems. Any equipment not
supplied with 3-wire AC cables must have individual ground wires (16
gauge or larger) connected to their chassis grounds and then run to the
console ground lug terminal strip.
Further Grounding Details
Check all equipment to be absolutely certain that each unit is power
transformer isolated from the AC mains to prevent safety hazards.
It is assumed that in each piece of audio equipment the audio ground
and the chassis are tied together at some point. Any piece of equipment
lacking a grounded chassis is likely to be prone to interference problems.
Locate all unbalanced audio equipment in the same rack if possible, to
minimize chassis ground potential differences. It may also be helpful to
insulate each piece of unbalanced equipment from its mounting rails in the
rack by means of nylon 10-32 screws and insulating washers between rails
and faceplates.
Once the system is properly grounded, proceed with the console
power supply installation and connection (next section).
Power Supplies
The RD console is powered by a Wheatstone Model PSC-D340
rackmount power supply. This heavy duty unit occupies three 19” wide
rack spaces (total height 5-1/4”). Convection cooled, it requires ample
ventilation space above and below it. The PSC-D340 generates a lot of
heat in the course of normal operation — do not mount heat sensitive
devices in the same rack cabinet.
Note the power supply (supplies) should be mounted in an equipment
rack within fifteen feet of the console (but no closer than 3 feet). Avoid
locating any high gain equipment (such as phono preamps, tape recorders,
etc.) too near the rackmount supplies, to avoid magnetic interference into
that equipment.

Once the supply is rackmounted, it should be connected to the console
using the factory supplied cable. The console’s power supply connector is
located at the rear of the console, at the right end of the meterbridge bottom
pan. Note that the power supply cable’s 10-pin female connector has to be
rotated until its locating pins match the male connectors on the console. Do
not force a connector on; it attaches easily when properly aligned. Connect
the cable first to the console, then to the rear of the rackmount power
supply.
Note each power supply is fitted with a 3-wire grounded AC cord that
should be plugged into a "clean" AC power source. That is, an AC source
that feeds only the control room audio gear. This source should be a
separate feed from those powering lighting, air-conditioning, or any other
non-audio machinery. The third pin ground wire of the AC source should
be tied to the central system ground point. Note that while the AC power
cord ground wire terminates at the power supply chassis, it does NOT
connect to the RD console common; the console itself must be grounded
separately. (See previous section, "System Ground".)
The power feed recommended in the text is often installed and referred
to in studios as an “isolated AC ground” outlet.
It is usually orange in
color.

INSTALLATION and POWER
The VU/Timer Cable
Connections from the MOD-5 Meter Output Module to the Meterbridge
for VU meter and timer signals are made through a special cable that ships
with the console. This cable has a DB-25 at the both ends. Connect the one
DB-25 connector to the matching DB-25 connector on the underside of
the Meterbridge at the back of the console. Connect the second DB-25 to
the upper DB-25 connector on the bottom of the frame at the slot that
contains the MOD-5 module.
Energizing
Assuming the RD console mainframe is properly placed and grounded,
and its PSC-D340 power supply correctly rackmounted and connected to
the console, you may now energize the PSC-D340 rackmount power
supply by plugging it into the AC mains and turning it on, using its front
panel circuit breaker/switch. The five LEDs on the power supply front
panel should light up to indicate the presence of their respective voltages.
The console's individual module switches will assume factory default
settings.

INSTALLATION and POWER
Audio and Control Wiring
All audio and control I/O connections to the RD console are made through
multipin DB-25 connectors located on the bottom of the console.
Connection Procedures
As supplied from the factory, the console requires no logic connections to
function. Therefore an orderly installation begins with the audio wiring. Note
that this manual is organized by module type (inputs, outputs, monitor
modules, etc.); each chapter contains detailed wiring instructions for its
module type. Proceed through the manual, chapter by chapter, until all modules
have been wired to suit your particular installation requirements. Once proper
audio operation is verified, go back to each individual chapter and proceed with
control wiring.
Digital Audio Connections
CABLE - All AES/EBU input and output digital audio connections are
balanced and should be made using a high quality digital audio cable. Be sure
to select a digital audio cable with an integral drain wire of the same wire gauge
(AWG) as the twisted pair. Typical AES/EBU digital audio cable has a very
low characteristic capacitance per ft (pF/ft), and a nominal impedance of 110Ω.
High quality digital audio cable offers better signal transmission performance
versus typical analog audio cable, especially over long cable runs. Check the
cable manufactures data sheet to be sure the cable you plan to use will work in
your application.
CONNECTORS - All AES/EBU connections are made with the supplied
DB-25 male mating connectors. These crimp style connectors are the insulation displacement type and will accept wire gauge 24 - 22AWG.
SPDIF INPUTS - The SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) or “consumer” digital audio interface is a two wire unbalanced signal typically on a
single RCA style connector. To connect SPDIF devices to the RD console
simply wire the SPDIF center conductor (HOT) to the SLD-5 “HI” input pin
and SPDIF shell (ground) to the SLD-5 “LO” input. Connect the SLD-5
“SHIELD” to the DB connector SHELL at the console end only.
Analog Insert Points
Certain module signals have insert patch points in their signal chains to
allow outboard audio processing. These include MONO MIC INPUTS
(MMD-5) and OUTPUT MODULES (OMD-5).
Normally these points are internally bridged at the factory (via PCBmounted programming switches) prior to shipment. If you intend to use
outboard signal loops at these points, you must reprogram these switches. See
pages 2-3 (mic inputs) and 4-3 (output modules) for details.
RD / May 2000
RD / March 2001
page 1 – 7
INSTALLATION and POWER
Unbalanced Connections (analog audio)
INPUTS — Wire to the console with typical shielded two conductor cable
(like Belden 9451), just as if you were connecting a balanced source. At the
unbalanced source machine’s output, connect the black wire (LOW) to the
shield. If the machine has a -10 dBu output, don’t hesitate to turn module input
gain as high as is needed.
OUTPUTS — RD consoles use a balanced output circuit which behaves
exactly like the secondary of a high-quality transformer, with no center tap—
this output is both balanced and floating. Either the HIGH or LOW side of the
output should be strapped to ground, with the output taken from the other side.
(Normally you’d strap LOW to ground, and take HIGH to feed your unbalanced equipment.)

HAND CRIMP TOOL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The supplied hand crimping tool (W/S#850067) is used for all I/O wiring connections to and from the console. It is to be used with the supplied pin (figure 1)
intended for 22"-28" gauge wire.
(2) The terminal conductor tabs (pointing UP) are
placed in anvil 18-22; the terminal's insulation tabs
extend in front towards the camera.
(3) The stripped wire is placed into the terminal and
crimped. Note the wire's insulation must stop just
short of the conductor tabs (detail)

1) Strip wire approximately 3/16" (insert in
proper wire stripper, rotate one half turn, and
pull insulation off wire).
2) Leaving wire aside for the moment, with
crimping tool fully open (engraved side toward
you) bring a terminal into position from the
unmarked side of the tool. Place the conductor
tabs (inner set as shown in figure 1) on the
"18-22" or "24-30" (depending on the wire) anvil (slightly curved surface) so that the circular
portion of the tabs rests in the curved surface
of the anvil and the two tabs face up into the
walls of the female jaw. The insulation tabs will
be flush with the top of the tool (figure 2).
3) Close tool very slightly, only to the point
of holding the terminal in position (figure 2).
4) Insert wire into terminal until wire insulation is stopped by conductor tabs (figure 3).
CRIMP by squeezing handles until jaws are fully
closed (figure 4).
5) If there is an insertion error or if a circuit
change is needed, you'll need to use an extractor tool to remove terminals (see next page).
Note that metallized plastic hoods for each
connector are also supplied with the console.
(4) Final step: jaws fully closed; the insulation tabs
have been crimped.

EXTRACTOR PIN INSTRUCTIONS
(5) Place extractor tip over pin terminal to be
removed.
If you accidentally insert a crimp terminal
pin into the wrong socket, you'll need to use
the supplied pin extractor tool (W/S#850069)
to remove terminal pin, and correct your mistake without having to sacrifice a connector.
Place extractor tip (red side) over terminal pin
to be removed (figure 5), and press it downwards motion until tip rests upon Housing.
Then pull out the terminal pin from Housing.
It should never be necessary to discard a connector due to a wiring error.

Mono Mic Input (MMD-5)
MMD-5 modules are for microphone input signals (-50dBu nominal). Each module accepts two mono sources: A and B, switched at the
top of the module. Phantom power is available at both input ports; it
may be selectively activated by an internal dipswitch (the factory
default is OFF). Recessed front panel multi-turn trimpots (range 38dB)
adjust input levels.
Example: with a microphone input of –60dBm @150Ω at the port, gain
trim can set levels from -22dBu to +16dBu (note maximum preamp gain is
+76dB).
An analog insert point (+4dBu balanced) is provided: it is post-trim
and may be internally bypassed, which is the factory default setting.
Output switches assign the selected source signal to any combination of the console’s three stereo outputs: PGM (program), AUD
(audition), and/or UTL (utility).
The channel ON and OFF switches are at the bottom of the module.
In addition to being controlled remotely, these can also be programmed
(via internal PCB-mounted dipswitches) to perform a variety of console control functions, including control room and studio mutes,
talkbacks, tallies, and timer restart.
All audio and control input and output signals are made via two
multi-pin DB-25 connectors mounted in the bottom of the console’s
mainframe, directly underneath each individual module.

Internal Programming Options
All internal programming is made via printed circuit board (PCB)
mounted switches on the module’s main card. With the exception of insert
bypass, which is a single-throw slide switch, all programming is via 4position dipswitches (total six).
For the purposes of this manual, we will assume you are holding the
removed module upright, component side towards you, with gold-plated
card fingers to the left and the module faceplate to the right. This will
enable you to read the control legends silkscreened next to each programming switch. Note when a dipswitch position is thrown to the right
(towards the module’s faceplate) it is ON.
Insert Bypass
SW7 (a single throw slide switch right next to the card’s short upper
row of gold fingers) will click the module’s insert point in and out of the
audio signal chain. Note again that the factory default is “insert bypassed”.
In other words, when shipped from the factory SW7 is thrown in the
direction of the silkscreened arrow on the PCB (to the left). To use the
insert point (see “Audio Connections” page 2-5), throw the switch to the
right, towards the module faceplate.
Phantom Power
Four-position dipswitch SW1 (upper right corner of card) turns phantom power on and off for the module’s two microphone input ports.
Dipswitch position 1 activates phantom power for microphone A
Dipswitch position 2 activates phantom power for microphone B
Mutes
When a microphone is live in a room, that room’s monitor speakers
must be muted to prevent feedback. The RD console has three mute control
lines: control room, studio one and studio two. Each of these may be
activated by either an A or B microphone input. The first three positions
of dipswitches SW3 and SW4 (to the left of the fader) program these
muting functions:
SW3 position 1 mutes the control room when mic A is live*
SW3 position 2 mutes studio one when mic A is live
SW3 position 3 mutes studio two when mic A is live
SW4 position 1 mutes the control room when mic B is live
SW4 position 2 mutes studio one when mic B is live
SW4 position 3 mutes studio two when mic B is live
Timer Restart
The console’s digital timer can be programmed to automatically reset
to zero and begin counting up when the module’s ON button is pressed.
SW3 position 4 activates timer restart for mic A
SW4 position 4 activates timer restart for mic B
Note the factory default
setting for phantom power
is OFF.

MONO MIC INPUT
Tallies
Turning the module ON can activate a remote tally indicator. There are
three tally control lines: on-air, tally 2 and tally 3. The first three positions
of dipswitch SW6 (to the left of the fader) program these functions:
SW6 position 1 activates the on-air tally control line*
SW6 position 2 activates tally 2
SW6 position 3 activates tally 3
Utility Bus Pre-Fader
Dipswitch SW6 position 4, when activated, will cause the module
signal assigned to the console’s UTL output to be tapped before the fader
and the channel ON/OFF switches.
Talkback
Typically, one of the console’s RD input modules will be used for the
control room (CR) console operator’s microphone. The fourth position of
dipswitch SW1 allows that microphone to also function as a talkback mic.
It places the signal (post-insert, pre-fader, pre-on/off) onto the console’s
talkback bus. When the console operator presses a TB switch on the
console’s SCD-5 Studio Control module, the talkback bus (which is
carrying his microphone signal) will interrupt the regular monitor signal
being fed to the studio and talent will hear his voice through the studio
monitor speakers.
In order for the studio to reply to the console operator, the MMD-5
module controlling the studio’s microphone signal must be routed to the
console’s cue bus, where it can interrupt the regular control room monitor
feed and be heard by the operator. This is accomplished by a user-supplied
TB switch in the studio. The switch provides a momentary closure
between the module’s lower DB-25 connector “TB to CR A” or “TB to CR
B” control pins and Digital Ground (see page 2-6 for wiring details). As
long as this closure is maintained (i.e., as long as talent holds down the
studio TB button) the module’s (post-insert, pre-fader, pre-on/off) signal
will be placed on the console’s Cue bus. Simultaneously, the module’s
regular output will be muted (i.e., Cough will be activated) so the talkback
signal doesn’t go out over the air.
It is also desirable to mute the studio monitor speakers during talkback
operations, not only to reduce ambient noise (i.e., the regular studio
monitor signal) but also to prevent potential feedback if both the operator
and the studio talent press their respective TB buttons at the same time.
Dipswitch SW 5 programs the appropriate muting:
Dipswitch position 1 mutes studio one when microphone A is live
Dipswitch position 2 mutes studio two when microphone A is live
Dipswitch position 3 mutes studio one when microphone B is live
Dipswitch position 4 mutes studio two when microphone B is live
Remote tallies are
hooked-up to the console
at the Control Room module (CRD-500)

MONO MIC INPUT
Superphone Output Assign
MMD-5 output assign switches can slave off the console’s SPD-5
Example: you are running a call-in show with three studio guests, each with
his own microphone and MMD-5 input module. You set up the caller and are
ready to go live. By pre-programming your studio guests’ mic inputs to follow
the superphone module’s output assign switch (or switches), all you need do is
press the PGM assign button on the phone module; PGM assign switches on
guest inputs will simultaneously be activated. Thus, the entire segment can go
live with the press of one button.
Dipswitch SW2 on the MMD-5 module (to the left of the fader) will
slave selected output assign switches to follow superphone output assign
control pulses:
Dipswitch position 1 links the PGM switch
Dipswitch position 2 links the AUD switch
Dipswitch position 4 links the UTL switch
In order for this feature to work, an associated dipswitch on the
superphone module PCB (SW1) must be programmed as well (see page
9-4).
Note this feature only
works for turning assign
switches ON; they will not
turn OFF from the
superphone module—this
must be done manually.
Hook-Ups
As stated before, all user wiring to and from MMD-5 modules takes
place at DB-25 multi-pin connectors mounted directly beneath each
module on the console mainframe’s bottom pan. There are two connectors
per module: the upper one (towards the console meterbridge) handles
audio signals; the lower (near the console armrest) control signals. A
pinout drawing on page 2-8 shows all wiring connections at a glance.
Audio Connections (upper DB-25)
These include A and B mic inputs, and insert in and out. The mic input
level is nominally -50dBu. Insert points are +4dBu balanced in and out.
All signals are analog mono.
Pin 25 – Mic A In SH
Pin 24 – Mic A In HI
Pin 12 – Mic A In LO

Pin 16 – Insert Out SH
Pin 15 – Insert Out HI
Pin 3 – Insert Out LO
Pin 2 – Insert In SH

Note the insert points are normally bypassed by PCB-mounted slide
switch SW7 (see page 2-3). Regardless of this switch setting, the Insert
Out pins may be used as a channel direct output if desired.

To Turn the Module ON & OFF from a Remote Location
REMOTE ON — Activates the module’s channel ON switch. Provide
a momentary closure between Pin 16 (Remote On A) or Pin 22 (Remote
On B) and Digital Ground (Pins 4, 10, 17 or 23). This will latch the module
ON. (User-supplied momentary contact switch required.)
REMOTE OFF — Activates the module’s channel OFF switch.
Provide a momentary closure between Pin 3 (Remote Off A) or Pin 9
(Remote Off B) and Digital Ground (Pins 4, 10, 17 or 23). This will latch
the module OFF. (User-supplied momentary contact switch required.)
COUGH — Temporarily Mutes the module. Provide a closure between Pin 1 (Cough A) or Pin 7 (Cough B) and Digital Ground (Pins 4, 10,
17 or 23). This will turn the module OFF. Note this is a non-latching mode;
the module will turn ON again as soon as the closure stops. (User-supplied
momentary contact switch required.)
Talkback to Control Room
If an MMD-5 module is being used for a studio microphone, these ports
allow talkback from that studio to the console operator. Provide a closure
between Pin 14 (TB to CR A) or Pin 20 (TB to CR B) and Digital Ground
(Pins 4, 10, 17 or 23). This will cause two things to happen: (1) the
module’s pre fader signal is sent to the console’s Cue bus, where it may be
heard by the console operator, and (2) the module’s Cough function is
activated, muting the module’s post fader signal and preventing the TB
RD / May 2000
page 2 – 6
MONO MIC INPUT
signal from going out over other assigned busses (i.e., “live”). This
non-latching condition continues until the closure is released. (Requires user-supplied momentary action TALKBACK switch at the
studio microphone location.)
On Tally
Lets the module’s channel ON switch control an on-air light or other
“microphone on” indicator at a remote location. This control function
provides a continuous closure (open collector) between Pin 15 (On
Tally A) or Pin 21 (On Tally B) and Digital Ground (Pins 4, 10, 17 or
23) whenever the module is ON.
This closure can be used to control an externally powered tally light
that requires a continuous closure to function. Or an external tally light
(i.e., LED) can be powered from the input module by connecting the
external LED to +5V Digital (Pins 5 or 11) and the A or B On Tally
ports. In either case, current should not exceed 30 milliamps.
Off Tally
Identical to “On Tally” (preceding), only this tally is active when
the module is OFF. Off Tally A is Pin 2; Off Tally B is Pin 8.
See also “Talkback” section earlier in this chapter,
(page 2-4).
We recommend a series
resistor between the LED
and +5V digital when you
are powering the external
tally from the console; a
value of 220Ω (1/4W 5%)
is suggested.

Stereo Line Input (SLD-5)
Module Overview
SLD-5 modules are for stereo line input signals. They are available in
two different versions:
The ADC (analog-to-digital converter) version accepts +4dBu balanced
analog input signals. It has L/R front panel input gain trimpots and uses an
SLADC-500 piggyback card at the input stage of the module.
The SRC (sample rate converter) version accepts digital (AES) inputs. It
uses an SRC-500 piggyback input card and has no front panel gain trims. The
factory default digital format is AES.
Each module accepts two stereo sources: A and B, switched at the top
of the module. Output switches assign the selected source signal to any
combination of the console’s three stereo outputs: PGM (program), AUD
(audition), and/or UTL (utility).
A CUE switch places the module’s signal on the console’s stereo cue
bus, where it may be heard on the meterbridge mounted cue speakers and/
or as an interrupt to the console operator’s headphones and control room
monitor speakers. The various cue interrupt modes are programmed at the
console’s CRD-5 (Control Room) module via internal PCB-mounted
dipswitches. See page 5-3.
Channel ON (START) and OFF (STOP) switches are at the bottom of
the module. In addition to being controlled remotely, these can also be
programmed (via internal PCB-mounted dipswitches) to perform a
variety of functions, including starting and stopping external source
machines, activating control room and studio mutes, external tallies, and
timer restart. The STOP switch’s LED can be controlled by an external
source machine to act as a “ready” indicator.
All audio and control input and output signals are made via two multipin DB-25 connectors mounted in the bottom of the console’s mainframe,
directly underneath each individual module.

STEREO LINE INPUT
Internal Programming Options
All internal programming is made via PCB mounted switches on the
module’s two printed circuit boards.
For the purposes of this manual, we will assume you are holding the removed module upright, component side towards you, with gold-plated card
fingers to the left and the module faceplate to the right. This will enable you to
read the control legends silkscreened next to each programming switch. Note
when a dipswitch position is thrown to the right (towards the module’s faceplate) it is ON.
Mutes
Like MMD-5 inputs, an SLD-5 module can be programmed to mute
studio speakers when the channel is ON. The RD console has three mute
control lines: control room, studio one and studio two. Each of these may
be activated by either an A or B input source. The first three positions of
dipswitches SW3 and SW4 (to the left of the fader) program these muting
functions:
SW3 position 1 mutes the control room when source A is ON
SW3 position 2 mutes studio one when source A is ON
SW3 position 3 mutes studio two when source A is ON
SW4 position 1 mutes the control room when source B is ON
SW4 position 2 mutes studio one when source B is ON
SW4 position 3 mutes studio two when source B is ON
Timer Restart
The console’s digital timer can be programmed to automatically reset
to zero and begin counting up when the module’s ON button is pressed.
SW3 position 4 activates timer restart when source A is turned ON*
SW4 position 4 activates timer restart when source B is turned ON
Cue Dropout
Dipswitch SW5 position 1, when activated, will cause the module’s
CUE function to be de-activated whenever the channel ON switch is
pressed. This is the factory default setting.
Local/Ready
The module’s channel OFF switch normally has its LED indicator
controlled by the switch itself (“local”). This is the factory default setting.
However, should you wish to have the LED function as a “ready” light for
an external source machine, dipswitch SW5 position 2, when thrown to the
left (away from the faceplate) passes control to opto-isolated A and B
“ready” ports on the module’s lower DB-25 connector where a 5 volt
signal applied with correct polarity will activate the OFF switch LED. As
long as the voltage is maintained, the LED will be lit.
*factory default setting

RD / May 2000
page 3 – 3
STEREO LINE INPUT
Utility Bus Pre-Fader
Dipswitch SW5 position 4, when activated, will cause the module
signal assigned to the console’s UTL output to be tapped before the fader
and the channel ON/OFF switches.
Tallies
Turning the module ON can activate a remote tally indicator. There are
three tally control lines: on-air, tally 2 and tally 3. The first three positions
of dipswitch SW6 (to the left of the fader) program these functions:
SW6 position 1 activates the on-air tally control line
SW6 position 2 activates tally 2
SW6 position 3 activates tally 3
Superphone Output Assign
Like MMD-5 modules, SLD-5 output assign switches can be controlled by the console’s SPD-5 superphone module.
Dipswitch SW2 (to the left of the fader on the module’s main PCB) will
slave selected output assign switches to follow superphone output assign
switch control pulses:
Dipswitch position 1 links the PGM switch
Dipswitch position 2 links the AUD switch
Dipswitch position 4 links the UTL switch
In order for this feature to work, an associated dipswitch on the superphone module PCB (SW1) must be programmed as well (see page 9-4).
Remote tallies are
hooked-up to the console
at the Control Room and
Studio modules (see
pages 5-4 and 6-4).
Note this feature only
works for turning assign
switches ON; they will not
turn OFF from the
superphone module—this
must be done manually.
Remote ON/OFF — Constant vs. Pulse
Slide switch SW7, located just to the right of the main PCB’s upper
card fingers, allows you to correct for differing source machine ON/OFF
control signals to the SLD-5 module. When set to CONST (“up”), the
module will work with most standard source machines. Occasionally,
however, the source machine, because of the way it is designed, will send
overly long control closures to the module’s remote ON and OFF ports—
closures so long that they will hang up the module’s ON/OFF logic. When
this kind of problem manifests itself, setting SW7 to PULSE (“down”) will
convert the closures to pulses before they get to the channel ON/OFF
switch logic.
Example: SW7 is set to default CONST (constant). The external source
machine reaches end-of-play and sends a five second (or longer) OFF signal to
the module, effectively holding it in an Off state. You press the module ON
switch but nothing happens—because the OFF switch is locked up. With SW7
set to PULSE this type of problem is eliminated; the module is turned off and
left immediately ready for further control input.
RD / Aug 2001
RD / May 2000
The factory default setting for SW7 is CONSTANT (“up”)
page 3 – 4
STEREO LINE INPUT
Remote START/STOP – Normal vs. EFS
Slide switch SW1 (mounted on the main PCB just to the left of the top
of the module’s fader) affects the way channel ON/OFF switches send
control signals to START and STOP remote source machines.
When SW1 is set to NORMAL (“up”) whenever the channel ON
switch is pressed a single pulse closure takes place at the A and B START
ports. When the OFF switch is subsequently pressed, a single pulse closure
takes place at the A and B STOP ports.
When set to EFS ON (“down”) a “European fader start” type of
constant closure is activated: whenever the channel ON switch is pressed
momentarily a constant closure is initiated at the module’s A and B
START control ports. When the channel OFF switch is subsequently
pressed, that closure is broken.
If an SLD-5 module has been equipped with an optional EFS-type
fader with a bottom-of-travel switch, it is best to set SW1 to EFS ON.
While no harm will result to any circuitry or hardware if an EFS fader is
used with SW1 set to NORMAL, the end result will be an extremely short
control pulse at the module’s START/STOP control ports—a pulse so short that
it may not be detected by all source machines.
The factory default setting is NORMAL.
Hook-Ups
As stated before, all user wiring to and from SLD-5 modules takes
place at DB-25 multi-pin connectors mounted directly beneath each
module on the console mainframe’s bottom pan. There are two connectors
per module: the upper one (towards the console meterbridge) handles

To Turn the Module ON & OFF from a Remote Location
In the case of stereo line input modules, “remote location” can also
refer to a remote source machine that is feeding its audio to the module in
question. A 5 volt signal (which may be sourced by the external machine),
when hooked up to the control pins with the correct polarity, will activate
the module’s channel ON and OFF switches.
REMOTE ON — Activates the module’s channel ON switch. Momentary connect the plus side of a 5 volt signal to Pin 15 and the minus side of
the same 5 volt signal to Pin 14 to latch the module ON when input A is
selected. Use pins 20 (+) and 21 (-) to latch the module ON when input B
is selected.
REMOTE OFF — Activates the module’s channel OFF switch.
Momentary connect the plus side of a 5 volt signal to Pin 17 and the minus
side of the same 5 volt signal to Pin 16 to latch the module OFF when input
A is selected. Use pins 18 (+) and 19 (-) to latch the module OFF when input
B is selected.
See also “Remote ON/OFF – Constant vs. Pulse” on page 3-4.
On Tally
Lets the module’s channel ON switch control an on-air light or other
indicator at a remote location. This control function provides a continuous
+5 volts at Pin 12 (On Tally) relative to Pin 13 (+5V Digital) whenever the
module’s channel ON switch is activated.
To START and STOP Remote Source Machines Using Module ON/
OFF Switches
EXTERNAL START — Hook up the remote machine’s “start” control
pins to the SLD-5 module’s lower DB-25 connector control pins: for A
START wire to Pins 3 and 5; for B START wire to Pins 8 and 6.
EXTERNAL STOP — Hook up the remote machine’s “stop” control
pins to the SLD-5 module’s lower DB-25 connector control pins: for A
STOP wire to Pins 4 and 5; for B STOP wire Pins 7 and 6.
Note that these are opto isolated outputs. START/STOP COM A (Pin
5) and START/STOP COM B (Pin 6) are opto emitters, while the
remaining connections (START A, pin 3; START B, Pin 8; STOP A, Pin
4; STOP B, Pin 7 are opto collectors. Correct polarity must be observed in
wiring to these connections.
See also “Remote START/STOP – Normal vs. EFS” on page 3-5.
To Control the Module’s OFF Switch LED with an External Source
Machine
READY — Hook up the remote machine’s “ready” control pins to the
SLD-5 module’s lower DB-25 connector control pins: for A READY
provide a 5 volt signal to Pin 2, positive relative to Pin 1; for B READY
provide a 5 volt signal to Pin 9, positive relative to Pin 10. As long as the
voltage is maintained, the module’s OFF LED will be illuminated.
A diagram showing typical connections is shown on the next page.

Output Modules
(OMD-5)
Module Overview
Each RD console has two master output modules: the first
handles the console’s Program outputs (OM1), the second
Audition and Utility (OM2).
OM1 output module has installed jumpers J3, J4 for
Program output; and J11, J12 for CUE monitor signal.
OM2 output module has installed jumpers J5, J6 for
Audition output; J9, J10 for Utility output; and J13, J14 for
TEL monitor signal.
Either module can be changed to the other by making the
appropriate jumper changes.
Both modules output analog and digital signals. Analog
outputs may be adjusted using recessed front panel multi-turn
trimpots.
OMD-5 modules also generate the console’s monitor
signals, which feed the Control Room, Studio and Meter
Output modules. There are analog stereo insert points for
PGM and AUD analog outputs (these may be internally
bypassed, which is the factory default setting). Processing
done at the insert points will not affect the digital output
signals. Regardless of the bypass switch setting, INSERT
OUT may be used as an additional direct PGM (or AUD)
analog output from a module.
All user wiring to and from OMD-5 modules takes place
at DB-25 multi-pin connectors mounted directly beneath the
module on the console mainframe’s bottom pan. There are
two connectors: the upper one (towards the console
meterbridge) handles analog outputs and insert points; the
lower connector (near the console armrest) digital outputs
(AES format). All analog audio is +4dBu balanced. Pinout
drawings on pages 4-5 and 4-6 show all wiring connections at
a glance.

Virtually all internal programming switches on OMD-5 modules are for
factory use only. There is one exception, however, and that is the INSERT
BYPASS slide switch SW2, located near the top of the PCB just above the four
front panel analog trimpots. The factory default for this switch is “down”; i.e.,
the module’s PGM (or AUD) insert points are bridged. To use the PGM (or
AUD) insert points (located on the upper DB-25 connector) throw the switch
“up”.
For the purposes of this manual, we will assume you are holding the removed
module upright, component side towards you, with gold-plated card fingers to the
left and the module faceplate to the right.
Hook-Ups
As stated before, all user wiring to and from OMD-5 modules takes place
at two DB-25 multi-pin connectors mounted directly beneath the module on

CONTROL ROOM MODULE

L
L
Control Room Module
(CRD-5)
Module Overview
The CRD-5 module is the RD console operator’s monitor module.
It allows him to listen to the console’s three stereo outputs (PGM, AUD
& UTL) as well as two external stereo line level inputs brought directly
into the module. Source SELECT switching for these signals is at the
top of the module.
The CRD-5 also houses console HEADPHONE and CONTROL
ROOM circuits, which follow the source selection switches.
There are two types of headphone output: the +4dBu balanced output at
the module’s DB-25 connector (pre-level control), and two headphone jacks
mounted left and right on the front of the lower mainframe pan, which are
actually outputs from a built-in headphone amplifier. It is this built-in amp
that is controlled by the module’s front panel HEADPHONE level control.
The CUE master level control is right in the center of the module;
this sets the level of the console’s cue signal.
Whenever CUE is activated elsewhere on the console (stereo line
inputs, the superphone module or for studio talkback) its signal will appear
at the console’s built-in cue speaker mounted in the meter-bridge. Depending on how the CRD-5 module has been programmed, cue can also interrupt
the control room monitor speakers and/or the console operator’s headphone.
The way Cue interrupts the module’s headphone and CR outputs is determined by an internal PCB-mounted dipswitch. See “Cue Interrupt” on next
page.
All user wiring to and from the CRD-5 module takes place at
DB-25 multi-pin connectors mounted directly beneath the module on
the console mainframe’s bottom pan. There are two connectors: the
upper one (towards the console meterbridge) handles audio outputs and
the console on-air tally control signals; the lower (near the console
armrest) accepts the two external source inputs. All audio connections
are stereo line level analog signals (+4dBu balanced). A pinout
drawing on page 5-6 shows all wiring connections at a glance.

CONTROL ROOM MODULE
Internal Programming Options
There are two user-programmable switches on the CRD-5. One is a 7position dipswitch, SW1, located on the module’s main PCB slightly
above and to the left of the cue master level control. This sets various cue
interrupt modes (see below).
There is also a single slide switch, located on the back edge of the
module’s piggyback PCB, which selects stereo or mono cue (see below).
For the purposes of this manual, we will assume you are holding the removed module upright, component side towards you, with gold-plated card
fingers to the left and the module faceplate to the right. This will enable you to
read the control legends silkscreened next to each programming switch. Note
when a dipswitch position is thrown to the right (towards the module’s faceplate) it is ON.
Cue Interrupt
Seven-position dipswitch SW1 determines how the console’s Cue
function will interrupt regular monitor signals:
Dipswitch position 1 sends cue to CR left
Dipswitch position 2 sends cue to CR right
Dipswitch position 3 sends cue to HDPN left*
Dipswitch position 4 sends cue to HDPN right*
*factory default settings
Cue Mute
As Cue is also fed to the console’s built-in meterbridge speaker, where
it can easily be picked up by the console operator’s microphone, there is
provision to mute Cue whenever that mic is live (i.e., whenever the control
room mute function is activated).
Dipswitch SW1 position 7 will mute cue whenever CR is muted
(this is the factory default setting)
Mono Cue
Cue is normally a stereo signal; however, mono cue is possible. Simply
throw slide switch SW1 on the piggyback “cue” card in the direction of the
silkscreened arrow (down). This will send a summed L+R cue signal to
both cue left and right signal paths. Note the factory default setting for this
switch is stereo cue.

Studio Control Module
(SCD-5)
Module Overview
The SCD-5 module is similar to the CRD-5 control room module,
only it controls monitor audio and talkback to two additional (“noncontrol room”) studios. The monitor signal being sent to these two
studios follows the source select switching at the top of the module; this
switching is identical to the control room module’s, and includes the
console’s three stereo outputs (PGM, AUD, & UTL), as well as two
external stereo line level inputs brought directly into the module.
Each studio has its own level control and talkback switch. While a
talkback switch is pressed and held (the switches are momentary
action) the console operator’s microphone signal will interrupt the
regular monitor signals being sent to the studio in question. The
TALKBACK master level control in the center of the module sets the
level of this talkback interrupt signal.
All user wiring to and from the SCD-5 module takes place at
DB-25 multi-pin connectors mounted directly beneath the module on
the console mainframe’s bottom pan. There are two connectors: the
upper one (towards the console meterbridge) handles external talkback
out and regular studio monitor outputs, plus the console’s Tally 2 and
Tally 3 control signals; the lower connector (near the console armrest)
accepts the module’s two external source inputs. It also outputs two
additional pre-level control studio outputs.All audio connections are
(+4dBu balanced) analog signals. A pinout drawing on page 6-6 shows
all wiring connections at a glance.

STUDIO CONTROL MODULE
Internal Programming Options
There is one user-programmable dipswitch on the SCD-5. It is a 7position dipswitch, SW1, located on the module’s main PCB slightly above
and to the left of the talkback master level control.
For the purposes of this manual, we will assume you are holding the removed
module upright, component side towards you, with gold-plated card fingers to the
left and the module faceplate to the right. This will enable you to read the control
legends silkscreened next to the programming switch. Note when a dipswitch
position is thrown to the right (towards the module’s faceplate) it is ON.
External Talkback Mute/Dim
There is an independent talkback output from the SCD-5 module. By
programming the first two positions of dipswitch SW1, you can make this
external talkback output MUTE whenever a studio is muted. You also have
the option of making the output DIM (drop -20dB in level) instead of MUTE.
Dipswitch position 1 mutes external TB whenever Studio 1 is muted*
Dipswitch position 2 mutes external TB whenever Studio 2 is muted*
Dipswitch position 7 makes external TB DIM instead of MUTE
*factory default settings
Studio Dim
Input modules controlling studio microphones can be programmed to
MUTE a studio whenever the module is turned on (i.e., it’s microphone is
live). If you wish, you can have a studio DIM (drop -20dB in level) instead
of MUTE:
Dipswitch position 5 causes Studio 1 to DIM instead of MUTE
Dipswitch position 6 causes Studio 2 to DIM instead of MUTE
Note the DIM functions do not affect talkback interrupts, which always
completely replace the studio’s regular monitor feed with the console operator’s
TB signal. Note also if a studio is muted, talkback cannot be heard. However, if a
studio is programmed to DIM instead of MUTE, talkback audio could presumably
make it from the studio monitor speakers to the open studio mic.

Meter Output Module
(MOD-5)
Module Overview
Each RD console has one meter output module, which drives the
console’s three pairs of left-right VU meters: PGM, AUD and UTL.
Recessed front panel trim pots calibrate the three meter pairs. A VU
TRIM cover strip (not shown) can be used to prevent trimpot access once
calibration is set.
At the bottom of module are the timer control buttons (the timer
display is mounted in the righthand end of the console meterbridge):
AUTO – enables timer restart functions from programmed input modules
S/S – Start/Stop
RESET - return to zero (if the timer is stopped it will hold at zero; if it is
running it will reset to zero and immediately begin counting up).
HOLD – when held down freezes the timer display (the counter keeps on
going); when released the display catches up to the current count.
There is a DB-25 connector for factory use only. It sends the module’s VU
and timer control signals to the meterbridge (a factory-provided cable runs from
those connectors to the back of the meterbridge).
Internal Programming Options
There are no internal programming options on the MOD-5 module.

All I/O connections from the MOD-5 meter output module are “internal” to the console (i.e., used to route VU and timer signals to the
meterbridge) and not normally applicable to end customer use.
Every RD has these two modules; together they perform
all central signal and control processing for the console. The
CPU-5 is the console’s central controller module; the DSP-5
is the console’s digital signal processor. With one exception,
AES SYNC (below), both modules are user-transparent—
that is, they have no external controls, all their internal
programming options are for factory use only, their DB-25 I/
O connector ports have no user-applicable pins, there are no
user replaceable parts inside (though complete modules may
be ordered; see Appendix).

AES Clock Sync
If you wish to sync your RD console off an external clock
source (or use the console master clock signal to control an
external device) the AES Sync port is available on the
DSP-5 module upper DB-25 connector:
Pin 25 – AES Sync In SH
Pin 24 – AES Sync In HI

Pin 11 – AES Sync Out SH
Pin 10 – AES Sync Out HI

CPU-5 Display
The alpha-numeric display on the CPU-5 module is used
at the factory for programming purposes. In the field the
default display is always “RD-5”, with the dash character
flashing. This might occasionally change to show an error
message for a second or two (for example, if you have hotplugged a module into the mainframe), but this should clear
quickly.

Superphone Input (SPD-5)
Module Overview
SPD-5 input modules are used for telephone call-ins. Each module can
handle two callers; there can be two modules per console for a total of four
callers. Caller signals enter the module from the station hybrid, and each
caller has his own fader. Caller input gain trims are provided at the top of
the module.
Output switches assign callers to any combination of the console’s
three stereo outputs: PGM (program), AUD (audition), and/or UTL
(utility).
Caller Set-Ups
Pre-air segment communication between the console operator (DJ)
and callers is via CALLER (CUE) buttons (2) which place the caller’s
voice on the console’s cue speakers (or control room speakers/operator’s
headphone if the CRD-5 module’s cue interrupt function has been so
programmed). These cue signals can be internally programmed pre or post
fader.
The caller hears the DJ in one of two ways:
1) The DJ can assign his microphone input module to an unused output
bus—say UTL—and the DJ then selects the UTL input with the EXT
switch at the top of the phone module. This sends a dedicated (digitally
generated) version of the UTL bus signal to the SPD-5 module’s hybrid
output, where it is ultimately heard by the caller through his telephone.
This mix minus source select method can also be used to preplay a musical
segment (or any other program content) for the caller off-air. Take the
SLD-5 input module handling the desired music cut and assign it to an
unused output bus; select the same bus as the caller’s mix minus source
input and he will hear it off-air.
Remember MMD-5 microphone input modules can be internally programmed to have their Utility bus feed tapped pre-fader, pre-ON/OFF, making
this a logical set-up for the DJ’s mic input if you do a lot of call-in work, since
the DJ’s voice will always be present on the console’s Utility output bus
regardless of fader or ON/OFF settings on his mic module (which must still be
assigned to UTL, however).
2) The DJ’s voice signal can be inputted through a special EXT IN port
at the SPD-5 module’s upper DB-25 connector. This second method
eliminates the need to select a mix minus input source everytime you want
to talk off-air to the caller. An easy source choice here would be DJ mic
module’s INSERT OUT port.

Automatic Features
Regular mic and stereo line input modules can have their output
assign buttons slave off of the SPD-5 telephone module output buttons.
If this feature has been programmed on desired source modules, when
it’s time to go on-air with a phone segment all you need do is hit PGM
on the phone module, and the PGM button on, say, your CD input
module (and the DJ’s mic module) will follow suit.
Note while this feature will turn slaved assign buttons ON, it will not
turn them OFF; you must do this manually.
Faders can be optionally equipped with end-of-travel CUE switches,
which will allow you to talk off-air with a caller with a simple fader
overpress. One of the faders can also have an optional EFS type switch
to automatically turn the module on when it is run up.
The channel ON (“START”) and OFF (“STOP”) switches are at the
bottom of the module. These can be programmed (via internal PCBmounted dipswitches) to activate control room and studio mutes,
tallies, timer restart and automatic cue drop-out. The ON switch can
also automatically trigger an external tape machine for recording
purposes (see page 9-7).
Cue Dropout can also be programmed internally, making it unnecessary to de-activate caller setup buttons before going live; simply
pressing the module’s ON switch will automatically do this for you.
Inputs and Outputs
All audio and control signals hook-ups are made via two multi-pin
DB-25 connectors mounted in the bottom of the console’s mainframe,
directly underneath each module. The upper connector handles hybrid
input signals (i.e., caller input) and the external input mentioned on
page 9-2. The lower connector handles outputs, including the module1
and 2 feeds to your station hybrid (the phone signals going to your
callers).
The module also has three addition output feeds on the lower DB25 connector. These are generally used for recording purposes:
Composite Out – This includes everything: DJ, callers, music beds,
etc. Generally used to to record phone segments in advance of
actual airplay.
Composite Minus Callers – This includes everything but the callers.
Callers Only – No talent, no DJs, no music; just caller voices.

Internal Programming Options
Main Printed Circuit Board
Main card internal programming is accomplished via three 4-position
printed circuit board (PCB) mounted dipswitches mounted just to the left
of the module’s faders.
For main PCB programming, we will assume you are holding the removed
module upright, component side towards you, with gold-plated card fingers to
the left and the module faceplate to the right. This will enable you to read the
control legends silkscreened next to each dipswitch. Note when a dipswitch
position is thrown to the right (towards the module’s faceplate) it is ON.
Output Assign Switch Enable
As previously stated (page 2-5 and 3-4), microphone (MMD) and
stereo line (SLD) input modules can have their output assign switches
slave off of the SPD-5 phone module output assign switches. Fourposition dipswitch SW1 (top dipswitch just to the left of the module faders)
enables this feature at the phone module end:
Dipswitch position 1 activates PGM switch control
Dipswitch position 2 activates AUD switch control
Dipswitch position 4 activates UTL switch control
Note this feature only
works for turning slaved
assign switches ON; they
will not turn OFF from the
superphone module—this
must be done manually.
Mutes
When the SPD-5 phone channel ON switch is pressed, it can activate
console mute functions. The first three positions of dipswitch SW2 (just
below dipswitch SW1) determines which of the console’s three mute lines
will be activated:
SW2 position 1 mutes the control room when the phone module is
ON*
SW2 position 2 mutes studio one when the phone module is ON
SW2 position 3 mutes studio two when the phone module is ON
Timer Restart
The console’s digital timer can be programmed to automatically reset
to zero and begin counting up when the module’s ON button is pressed.
SW2 position 4 activates timer restart when the phone module’s ON
switch is pressed*
Tallies
*factory default setting
Turning the module ON can activate a remote tally indicator. There are
three tally control lines: on-air, tally 2 and tally 3. The first three positions
of dipswitch SW3 (to the left of the fader) program these functions:
SW3 position 1 activates the on-air tally control line
SW3 position 2 activates tally 2
SW3 position 3 activates tally 3
*factory default setting
Remote tallies are
hooked-up to the console
at the Control Room module (CRD-5)
RD / May 2000
page 9 – 4
SUPERPHONE INPUT
Cue Dropout
Dipswitch SW3 position 4, when activated, will cause CUE (i.e., caller
set-up buttons 1 & 2) to turn off when the module’s ON switch is pressed.
This is the factory default setting.
Gain Trimpots
There are two PCB-mounted trimpots. They are used as follows:
CR1 - sets Callers 1 In port input gain
CR2 - sets Callers 2 In port input gain
Internal Programming Options
Piggyback Card
Piggyback card internal programming is accomplished via two PCBmounted slide switches on the module’s piggyback card. This same card
also contains PCB-mounted trimpots which may be used to set the
module’s various output feed levels.
For piggyback card programming, hold the removed module horizontally,
component side towards you, with gold-plated card fingers aimed down and the
module faceplate on top. This will enable you to read the control legends
silkscreened on the PCB.
External In
In addition to feeding the DJ’s voice signal to the callers via the
module’s mix minus source select switching, it may also be brought
directly in through an EXT IN port on the module’s upper DB-25
connector. PCB-mounted slide switch SW1 (piggyback card left center),
activates this external port when thrown to the left (this is the factory
default setting).
Cue Pre/Post
The module’s CUE signals (caller setup buttons 1 & 2) can tap pre or
post fader. When slide switch SW2 (piggyback card lower right) is UP they
are PRE, when DOWN they are POST. (Factory default setting is PRE.)
Gain Trimpots
There are six PCB-mounted trimpots to the right of slide switch SW1.
They are used as follows:
CR4 – sets the External In port input gain
CR6 – sets the module’s output level to Hybrid 1
CR3 – sets the module’s output level to Hybrid 2
CR7 – sets the module’s “composite” output level
CR8 – sets the module’s “composite minus callers” (“talent”)
output level
CR5 – sets the module’s “callers only” output level
Factory default settings for
these trimpots is UNITY
GAIN.

As stated before, all user wiring to and from SPD-5 modules takes place
at DB-25 multi-pin connectors mounted directly beneath each module on
the console mainframe’s bottom pan. There are two connectors per module:
the upper one (towards the console meterbridge) handles audio input

Pin 20 – To Hybrid 1 Out LO
Pin 19 – To Hybrid 2 Out SH
Pin 18 – To Hybrid 2 Out HI
Pin 6 – To Hybrid 2 Out LO
The last six callouts are simply two parallel-connected sets of pins
for the same control port. When the module’s ON switch is pressed, a
closure takes place between start/stop common and START; when the
module’s STOP switch is pressed, a closure takes place between start/
stop common and STOP. These may be used to control a remote tape
machine for recording phone segments. Note that these are optoisolated outputs; the START/STOP COMMON connections are the
emitters, while the START and STOP connections are the collectors,
of the opto’s NPN transistors. Correct polarity must be observed when
using these outputs.

Overview
LS
LINE PRESELECTOR MODULE
(Digital/Analog)
(LSD-5 Controller Panel)
optional)
This optional module consists of an 8-switch control module (LSD-5)
mounted in the RD console and an associated 19-inch rackmount switcher
(LSR-500) that mounts in a remote location. All audio input and output
wiring goes to the rackmount unit, which takes its control from the console
module.
The rack unit accepts eight stereo analog and digital audio inputs (each
input is dipswitch-selectable for either analog or digital) and outputs both
an analog and digital stereo signal, which may be wired back to RD console
input ports. Wiring between the console’s LSD-5 preselector module and
the rackmount switcher is via two factory supplied pin-for-pin DB-25
connector cables: the module’s upper DB is used for control; the lower for
power.
The LSR-500 rackmount unit faceplate has eight indicator LEDs
which show which input has been selected at the console and also
ANALOG and DIGITAL LEDs which light to show what kind of signal
has been selected. A POWER LED is also included. (See drawing next
page)
The rear of the LSR-500 has seven I/O connectors: two DB-9s (analog
and digital output) and five DB-25s (control and power to the LSD-5
module, analog audio in (2) and digital audio in (1). In the center of the
chassis rear is a cutout that allows access to eight dipswitch settings that
determine what type of audio (analog or digital) each input accepts. The
default setting (“off”) is DIGITAL.

Intercom Module
(ICMD-5; optional)
Module Overview
The ICMD-5 Intercom Module is used to communicate with other
studios and locations within a broadcast facility. It is designed to
interface with other Wheatstone consoles and rackmount intercom
units. Up to eight different stations may be connected via a simple
daisy-chain hookup. The system is a party line; power for various units
can come from their own locations or from other units. A red BUSY
LED lights up whenever the system is in use.
The eight station call buttons on the lower half of the module are
used to initiate a call; when you press a call button, the button
corresponding to your location will illuminate at the other end to let the
receiver know who’s calling. He can then reply immediately, handsfree, and you will hear him through your console’s cue speakers.
Normally you hear callers over your console’s cue speakers. However
you can also program the ICMD-5 module (via an internal dipswitch) to
perform a cue interrupt function. The caller’s voice will then appear at the
control room speakers and/or operator headphones, depending on how you
have programmed your CRD-5 module to handle CUE.
As the default mode for the system is hands-free reply, a red
PRIVACY button is provided to prevent potential eavesdropping.
When activated you can hear incoming calls but your own microphone
remains off until you disengage the button.
Your microphone signal can tap from the console’s talkback bus,
where it picks up the regular console operator’s microphone, or it can
be a separate line level input coming into the ICMD-5 module (internally programmable). In either case, a recessed MIC trimpot at the top
of the module sets the level of your voice.
Right next to the MIC trim is a NULL trimpot. This is used to null out
your own microphone signal at your location. It is initially set at the factory
for a two-station system. However, system loading will vary depending on
configuration, and some adjustment may be necessary during initial set-up
at your location. Once set however (assuming you don’t change the number
of stations installed) this control can be left alone.
All wiring to and from the ICMD-5 module takes place at DB-25
multi-pin connectors mounted directly beneath the module on the
console mainframe’s bottom pan. There are two connectors: the upper
one (towards the console meterbridge) handles inputs; the lower
connector (near the console armrest) outputs.

INTERCOM MODULE
Internal Programming Options
All internal programming, except for address selections (see below), is
made via printed circuit board (PCB) mounted 4-position dipswitches (total
two) on the module’s main card.
For the purposes of this manual, we will assume you are holding the removed
module upright, component side towards you, with gold-plated card fingers to the
left and the module faceplate to the right. This will enable you to read the control
legends silkscreened next to the programming switch. Note when a dipswitch
position is thrown to the right (towards the module’s faceplate) it is ON.
CUE Enable
You can program the ICMD-5 module (via dipswitch SW10) to perform
a cue interrupt function. The caller’s voice will appear at the control room
speakers and/or operator headphones, depending on how you have programmed your CRD-5 module to handle CUE.
Dipswitch SW10 position 1 assign CUE Logic Enable
Input Signal
Your microphone signal can tap from the console’s talkback bus, where
it picks up the regular console operator’s microphone, or it can be a separate
line level input coming into the ICMD-5 module.
Dipswitch SW1 position 1 assign line level input into ICMD module
Dipswitch SW1 position 4 allows microphone signal tap from the
console’s talkback bus
Power for Various ICMs
Your can provide power for other Wheatstone rackmount ICMs (via
dipswitch SW10)
position 2 - Ext +V
position 3 - Ext -V

Station Select
Each ICM in daisy-chain hookup has own address, which is programed
with “stations” slide switches SW2-SW9. Each ICM has only one slide
switch “ON”.
