Power Requirements

The HSMIX can accept DC voltages from 24V to 50V with a maximum power consumption of 12W.

The DC input accepts a 5.5/2.1mm plug with tip positive and ring negative connection.

Mounting

The HSMIX is a one rack unit high (1RU) and will ﬁt a standard EIA 19” rack.

Balanced Input Wiring

WARNING: Input signal ground should NOT be used as a safety

ground (earth).

The balanced input to the mixer is 3-pin conﬁguration and requires all three pins to be connected. Only high quality twin-core shielded cable should be used.

Pin 1 = Signal Ground

Pin 2 = Hot (non-inverting or in phase)

Pin 3 = Cold (inverting or reverse phase)

When wiring from an unbalanced source you must ensure that pin 3 is connected to pin 1 (input ground), either by linking the pins in the input connector or by the source equipment’s output wiring.

When wiring for an unbalanced source:

Pin 1 = Signal Ground

Pin 2 = Hot (non-inverting or in phase)

Pin 3 = Signal Ground

Hum Problems

Most equipment is designed for minimum hum when used under ideal conditions. When connected to other equipment, and to a safety earth in an electrically noisy environment, problems may occur.

The three ”E”s of hum and hum related noise which can plague your audio system are:

a) Earth loops

b) Electromagnetic radiation

c) Electrostatic radiation

Earth loops can arise from the interfacing of the various pieces of equipment and their connections to various safety earths.

This is by far the most common cause of hum, and it occurs when source equipment and the mixer are plugged into different points along the safety earth where the safety earth wiring has a current ﬂowing through it. The current ﬂowing through the wire produces a voltage drop due to the wire’s resistance. This voltage difference between the mixer earth and source equipment earth appears to the mixer’s input as a signal and is ampliﬁed as hum. There are three things you can do to avoid earth loop problems:

Ensure the mains power for the audio system is “quiet” i.e. without

•

equipment on it such as air-conditioning, refrigeration or lighting which may generate noise in the earth circuit.

Ensure all equipment within the system shares a common ground/ safety

•

earth point. This will reduce the possibility of circulating earth currents, as the equipment will be referenced to the same ground potential.

Ensure that balanced signal leads connecting to the mixer are connected to

•

earth at one end only.

Electrostatic radiation capacitively couples to system elements, causing an interference voltage that mainly affects higher impedance paths, such as mixer inputs. The source is generally a nearby high voltage, such as a mains lead or a speaker lead. The problem can usually be reduced by moving the offending lead away, or by providing additional electrostatic shielding (i.e. an earthed conductor which forms a barrier to the ﬁeld).

Electromagnetic radiation induces interference currents into system elements that mainly effect lower impedance paths. Radio transmitters or stray magnetic ﬁelds from mains transformers are often the cause of this problem. It is generally more difﬁcult to eliminate this kind of interference, but again, moving the source away or providing a magnetic shield (i.e. a steel shield) should help.

Sensitivity

Each channel of the HSMIX has a nominal balanced input impedance of 30kOhms (@1kHz) and should not present a difﬁcult load for any signal source.

Your signal source (i.e. the equipment feeding signal to the mixer) should have an output impedance of 600 Ohms or lower to avoid unwanted high frequency loss in the cabling.

PAGE 9HSMIX INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

Page 10

BASIC SETUP & OPERATION

sales@wes.net.au

www.wes.net.au

The inputs of the HSMIX can accommodate a wide range of sources including dynamic microphones, DVD and CD players.

Each installation will require setting the appropriate relative mix of levels between microphones and program sources. Due to the variation in levels between the possible sources, the HSMIX offers a number of gain stage adjustments in order to set the correct levels for your application.

Setting up correct gain structure through the whole system is important to achieve optimal results. The following step by step setup has been devised to assist during the setup process.

Initial Settings (Factory default)

Channel/Master Gain and Equaliser Controls. Set to 0dB (12 o’clock)

•

XLR Mic/Line switches – MIC (DIP switches down)

•

XLR Phantom power switch– OFF (DIP switch up)

•

STEP BY STEP SETUP

CONNECT THE SOURCES

First connect all the required sources to the appropriate input connectors. If the source is a microphone, set the MIC/LINE switches to the ‘MIC’ position (down). If the source is an electret or condenser microphone, set the phantom switch ‘P/P’ to the DOWN position (on).

TEST THE INPUT LEVELS

For each source, try to achieve the highest signal level possible. i.e. for a CD player, cassette deck or other music source, put on the loudest anticipated program music or for a paging mic make a ‘loud’ page. During this signal condition, the input status LED should light green and may occasionally turn red for a short period. If the status LED stays red (more than 10% of the time), you should reduce the input ‘GAIN/TRIM’. If the status LED never turns red at all, you may wish to increase the input gain trim if required.

SET THE LEVELS

Turn the channel input volume controls up to 5 on each channel being used. Turn up the master volume control until it is at an appropriate level for the listening environment. Now adjust the relative levels of each of the input channels to achieve a good balance. The aim of these adjustments is to have all level controls at between 3 and 7. This may not be possible however. A good rule of thumb is that input level controls should be higher than the output level controls.

TURN DOWN UNUSED CHANNELS

All input channels add noise into the system. To maximise the performance of your system turn down any unused channel volume controls.

TONE GENERATOR

The tone generator volume control is independent (bypasses) the volume controls of the system and directly feeds the mixer output. Close the EVAC contact on the 10 way Phoenix connector and then adjust the TONE VOLUME trim pot to an appropriate level.

TONE GENERATOR

The HSMIX ships standard with 5 factory programmed default tones. Tones can be played by shorting the appropriate contact to GND on the back panel 10 way Phoenix connector.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT drive external voltages into the pins (except VOX) or damage to the unit will occur.

Tones

1) ‘EVAC’: a long continuous repeating tone with a ramped frequency. Triggered by shorting EVAC to GND, the sound will continue to repeat until the short is released.

2) ’ALERT’: a short tone burst tone repeated every 0.5s. Triggered by shorting ALERT to GND, the sound will continue to repeat until the short is released.

3) ‘INTRUDER’: a two tone ‘low’ ‘high’ alert repeating every 0.4s. Triggered by shorting INTRUDER to GND, the sound will continue to repeat until the short is released.

4) ‘BELL’: a short repeating tone burst with decay and reverb. Triggered by shorting BELL to GND, the sound will continue to repeat until the short is released.

5) ‘CHIME’: a four note increasing tone suitable for paging preannounce. Triggered by shorting CHIME to GND, it will sound only once for each time the trigger is activated. Please note: ‘CHIME’ tone must play to completion before it may be retriggered.

Tone Generator Priority

The following table shows the priority level of which tone is played.

To activate a tone trigger input, short the relevant input to GND. The selection

•

must be stable for longer than 150ms.

Each tone is played to completion even if the trigger selection is removed

Overriding Default Tones using an SD Card

The default tones of the mixer can be overridden by added tones to a user supplied SD card.

Simply place the tone MP3 or WAV ﬁle on the root of the SD card and it will be played instead of the inbuilt tone. (See the Tone File/Folder Structure and Format section for further information on this feature.)

In addition, the volume for each custom tone can be customised when using the SD card by adding the required volume to the ﬁlename.

Examples

evac.mp3 evacuation tone which will override factory default tone

intruder_75.mp3 intruder tone which will override factory default tone

and set volume to 75

NOTE: If the tone on the SD card is unplayable, e.g due to being the wrong format, a fault code will ﬂash on the STATUS LED and the default tone will be played instead with a volume level set by the TONE VOLUME POT.

User defined Tones using an SD Card

The HSMIX’s tone generator features can be extended beyond the EVAC, ALERT, INTRUDER, BELL and CHIME tones. Additional user generated tones can be placed on an SD card and played using the back panel 10-way Phoenix connector.

NOTE: It is not restricted to playing tones – any MP3 or WAV ﬁle can be played. e.g. an audio music ﬁle.

Features:

Up to 11 additional user generated tones

•

Each tone can have a unique volume level

•

Each tone can individually enable or override the priority mode function. This allows a tone to be conﬁgured to mute all channels and

•

allow audio inputs from only Channel 1,2 or 3.

Method:

Place the tone ﬁles on the SD card following the File Format: Trigger Number _ Track Name _ mixN_Volume.mp3 as described in the User Deﬁned Tones section of the manual.

Example: 3_Track Name_mix1_75.mp3 (Trigger input 3 with track name, Priority set to Ch1 active all others muted, volume set to 75).

Play the tone by sending the appropriate binary trigger input combination to the 10 way Phoenix connector.

PRIORITY CONTROL

The HSMIX features priority mode detection which allows channels to be muted when audio is detected on channels 1–3. This can be used for applications like paging where background music is muted while the announcement occurs.

The priority section consists of three DIP switches and four POTS to conﬁgure the operation.

DIP switches labelled ‘1’ and ‘2’ set the MODE

•

DIP switch ‘R’ sets the release(unmute) time.

MUSIC PLAYER

The mixer also includes an audio MP3/WAV player which can play an unlimited number of ﬁles stored on a user supplied SD card.

Music ﬁles should be stored in the ‘sequence’ or ‘random’ folders of the SD card. These can then be played from either the front panel controls or the 10 way back panel Phoenix connector (using the continuous play commands).

Consult the SD Card Format section of this manual on how to place the music ﬁles on the SD card.

NOTE: During tone playback, the front panel music player buttons are ignored.

Front Panel Controls

Each button has two associated actions dependant on the duration of the button press. These are:

Button Position Short Press ( < 500ms ) Long Press ( > 500ms )

Left Play/Pause Swap Folder

Middle Next Track (FWD) Volume Down

Right Previous track (BCK) Volume Up

BLUETOOTH

The mixer includes a Bluetooth® Audio streaming interface which can receive audio from any device like a mobile phone, computer or tablet. Simply connect your Bluetooth® device and it will mix in to the line output.

AUDIO STREAMING

Bluetooth Device Name: AUS MONITOR

Passcode/PIN: 2626 (AMAM)

Bluetooth Connection

1. Turn on the Bluetooth module by holding the Bluetooth ON/OFF power button

down for more than 150ms

2. Enter pairing mode by holding the Bluetooth ON/OFF button down for

2 seconds. The PAIR LED should start ﬂashing every 200ms

3. On your Bluetooth device, not the HSMIX, select the Bluetooth device named

as ‘AUS MONITOR’. Consult the device’s manual about accessing the Bluetooth connection options.

4. Your Bluetooth device will ask for a passcode/PIN. Enter 2626

5. The PAIR LED will then ﬂash 10 times to indicate successful pairing

6. Play audio from your Bluetooth device.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the volume of your Bluetooth device is set

to an appropriate level as this effectively adds in another volume control to your system.

NOTE: The Bluetooth module is powered off as standard when turning

the mixer on to maximise security. If the mixer is power cycled you must turn the Bluetooth module back on by pressing the Bluetooth ON/OFF button.

Bluetooth Connection Range

The Bluetooth connection range is a minimum of 10 meters. However, range is typically much larger but not guaranteed.

Connecting a different Bluetooth device

The Bluetooth module can only support one device connection at a time.

If you need to change devices, repeat the bluetooth connection process described above. By entering pairing mode it disconnects the current device and allows a new device to be connected.

Power off the Bluetooth device

To power off the Bluetooth module hold down the Bluetooth ON/OFF button until the PAIR LED turns fully on (not ﬂashing) and then release the button.

The standby mode can be activated by connecting the STANDBY pin to the GND pin. The status LED will blink every 4 seconds to show the product is in standby mode.

While in standby mode the following will still be active:

1. EVAC, ALERT & INTRUDER tone trigger inputs

Triggering any of these inputs will cause the device to exit Standby Mode and play the Tone. When the tone trigger is released the mixer will re-enter standby mode immediately.

USB CHARGING

The USB charging port is provided to charge mobile devices. It provides 500mA of charge current at 5V.

It does not support playing of audio through the USB port such as mass storage mode. Instead, stream audio from your mobile device to the HSMIX using the Bluetooth streaming feature.

NOTE: Some mobile devices require higher current requirements to

charge, therefore the USB charger may only be able to slow the devices power consumption.

Tone File/Folder Structure and Format

Overriding Default Tones

To override the inbuilt default tones, place an MP3 or WAV ﬁle on the root of the SD card with the tone name and optional volume setting in the ﬁlename.

File Format: Tonename _ Volume.mp3 (Valid ‘Tonenames’ are evac, alert, intruder, bell or chime)

Examples: evac.mp3 overrides the inbuilt EVAC tone with this ﬁle

alert_75.wav overrides the inbuilt ALERT tone with this ﬁle and set volume to 75

User Deﬁned Tones

To add user deﬁned tones, place an MP3 or WAV ﬁle on the root of the SD card. It must be named with the trigger number and optional track name, priority mode and volume setting in the ﬁlename.

FAT32. (NOTE: Do NOT use the exFAT format)

File Format: Trigger Number _ Track Name _ mixN_Volume.mp3

Examples: 1.mp3 Trigger input 1 with no track name or custom volume

The only mandatory ﬁeld is the Trigger number. Track Name, Mixer Priority and Volume are optional.

If a custom volume is being used you MUST enter a track name:

1_Mandatory Track name_75.mp3

1_75.mp3

3_Custom MP3 tone.mp3 Trigger input 3 with track name but no custom volume

In order to activate the priority mode for an individual tone (or to override the current priority mode setting), append the ﬁlename with the following to change the priority muting mode:

‘_mix0’ in the ﬁlename will mute all channels. Channel priority selection is not honoured (disabled).

•

‘_mix1’ in the ﬁlename will mute all channels except Ch1. Channel priority selection is not honoured (disabled).

•

‘_mix3’ in the ﬁlename will mute all channels except Ch1 to Ch3. Channel priority selection is honoured (enabled) for Ch1 to Ch3.

Sequence Folder

In order to play a series of audio ﬁles in sequence,

1. Create a folder on the root of the SD card named ‘sequence’

2. Place MP3 or WAV ﬁles inside the ‘sequence’ folder and preﬁx them with required sequence number.

IMPORTANT: The ﬁle must contain the preﬁx number or the ﬁle will not be played. In addition, the sequence

must be continuous and contain no gaps in the track numbering. i.e. 1,2,3,5 would only play tracks 1-3 and then repeat.

File Format: Sequence Number _ Track Name _ Volume.mp3

Sequence Folder Volume

The sequence ﬁles volume can also be set globally by adding a volume.txt ﬁle inside the folder.

This provides an easier method than having to set each ﬁlename within the sequence folder.

1. Create a text ﬁle named ‘volume.txt’

2. Enter a value from 1 to 100 inside the text ﬁle.

NOTE: If a track has a volume speciﬁed in its track name this will supersede the folder volume setting in the volume.txt ﬁle

SD CARD FORMAT (cont)

Random Folder

In order to play random audio ﬁles they must be placed in a ‘random’ folder of the SD card,

1. Create a folder on the root of the SD card named ‘random’

2. Place any MP3 or WAV ﬁles inside the ‘random’ folder.

The audio ﬁles do not need to follow a naming convention.

Random Folder Volume

The random ﬁles volume can also be set globally by adding a volume.txt ﬁle inside the folder.

This provides an easier method than having to set each track’s volume individually. Refer to the ‘Sequence Folder Volume’ section for an example of how to apply this setting.

NOTE: If a track has a volume speciﬁed in its track name this will supersede the folder volume setting in the volume.txt ﬁle.

SD card contents example

Folder/File Structure: Example:

All ﬁles and folders are optional.

If the mixer tries to read a ﬁle or folder selection that does not exist on the SD card it will ﬂash an error on the STATUS LED.

Support of SD cards larger than 32GB

The HSMIX supports the FAT32 ﬁle format which is limited to a maximum of 2TB.

However, SD cards larger than 32GB are shipped with the exFAT format. These must be reformatted to the FAT32 format.

NOTE: Windows does NOT natively support formatting of SD cards larger than 32GB to FAT32.

You must use third party applications to format SD cards larger than 32GB to the required FAT32 format.
