SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Parts that have special safety characteristics are identified by the symbol on schematics or by special notes on the parts list. Use only replacement parts that have critical characteristics recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Perform leakage current or resistance measurements to determine that exposed parts are acceptably insulated from the supply circuit before returning the unit to the customer. Use the following checks to perform these measurements:
A. Leakage Current Hot Check-With the unit completely reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet. (Do not use an isolation transformer during this test.) Use a leakage current tester or a metering system that complies with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C101.1 "Leakage Current for Appliances" and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 1492 (71). With the unit AC switch first in the ON position and then in OFF position, measure from a known earth ground (metal waterpipe, conduit, etc.) to all exposed metal parts of the unit (antennas, handle bracket, metal cabinet, screwheads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.), especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical return path to the chassis. Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 milliampere. Reverse the unit power cord plug in the outlet and repeat test. ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS SPECIFIED HEREIN INDICATE A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD THAT MUST BE ELIMINATED BEFORE RETURNING THE UNIT TO THE CUSTOMER.
B. Insulation Resistance Test Cold Check-(1) Unplug the power supply and connect a jumper wire between the two prongs of the plug. (2) Turn on the power switch of the unit. (3) Measure the resistance with an ohmmeter between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet part on the unit. When the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the reading should be between 1 and 5.2 Megohms. When there is no return path to the chassis, the reading must be "infinite". If it is not within the limits specified, there is the poss­ibility of a shock hazard, and the unit must be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

THEORY OF OPERATION
1. OVERVIEW
®
The FreeSpace cial environments. The FreeSpace 6 components have been engineered to work together as a system. The electronics have separate compressors for music and paging sources that de­crease the dynamic range of the audio signal, thereby increasing the audibility of musical passages and paging anouncements. A protective compressor in the power amplifier prevents audible overload distortion if the user attempts to play the system too loud.The system has the following features:
• High-fidelity sound over a large area
• Active equalization, music compression, and system overload protection
• Opti-voice® circuitry for high quality paging capability
• Remote control of volume and source selection
The circuit descriptions that follow are grouped according to the PCB section and sheet num­ber of the schematic.
2. IO1 PCB
2.1 IO1 PCB Schematic Sheet 1
6 business music system delivers high-fidelity music and paging in commer-
Music Input A is routed through a differential input amplifier (U4) which accepts balanced sources or unbalanced sources. The amplifier output is passed through a gain trim pot and presented to the Music A/B selector. Music Input B is fed directly to a gain trim pot and then to the Music Input A/B selector.
Music Selector A/B is a 2P2T analog switch, implemented with a special switching op amp (U11,U12)). The op amp is controlled by the signal SELECTB.
The Music Selector Interface is a two transistor circuit that normally selects Music Input A. With the Remote Selector switch open, transistor Q2 is on, which turns on D4, the Source A LED, pulling SELECTB low. This turns off Q1, keeping its LED off. When the Remote Selector switch is closed, Q2 is turned off, allowing Q1 and D3 (the Music B LED) to turn on. This moves SELECTB high and turns off the Source A LED. When SELECTB is high, current is no longer sunk from U11 and U12’s SW pin, and they select Music Input B.
2.2 IO1 PCB Schematic Sheet 2
On their way to the compressor, the left and right music signals pass through a stereo/mono switch, S1. After the compressor (U7 and part of U6), the music signals leave this sheet. The compressor is enabled by a logical function of SELECTB, Music Compressor A, and Music Compressor B enable switches. The logic (U8) determines that the compressor will be enabled only for a music source if that source is the one currently selected and if it has been enabled for compression via its switch (S2 or S3).
The compressor offers a maximum gain of about 20dB for very low level signals and operates at a 2:1 slope. It slowly raises the level of quiet musical passages, and quickly reduces the level of loud passages. The two channels are cross coupled to maintain a centered stereo image. By selecting the rectifier input source as a DC current, the compressor is disabled (U9).
7
The two sections of U15 are used to control a bi-colored Music-Compressor LED, D2. As long as the compressor is enabled, the LED glows green to indicate how active the compressor is. Whether or not the compressor is enabled, the LED is also acting as a watch dog and will flash red if the signal presented to the music compressor is too great for it to handle.
2.3 IO1 PCB Schmatic Sheet 3
The Page Input is presented to a differential amplifier (U2) that can handle a wide range of source voltages, as well as balanced or unbalanced sources. S5 determines the gain of the first stage (0dB or 30dB). The page signal next passes through U2, where it can be given a gain of 0 to 30dB, as determined by R1. At S4, the page signal is routed either through
another variable gain stage (U2, gain adjustable from 0 to 20dB), or through the Opti-voice
®
compressor. The Opti-voice compressor (U5 and part of U6) provides anywhere from 20dB of gain to 10dB of loss, depending upon the signal level.
Finally, the output of S4 is passed through the Page Muting stage (part of U10, Q3, and Q4), in which it is muted unless the page trigger circuits have detected a signal. The Page Output connector (J2) is driven by part of U10, acting as a buffer stage.
The two sections of U3 are used to control a bi-colored Opti-voice Compressor LED, D5. As long as the compressor is enabled; the LED glows green to indicate how active the compres­sor is. Whether or not the compressor is enabled, the LED is also acting as a watch dog and will flash red if the signals at U2’s outputs are too great for the compressor to handle.
2.4 IO1 PCB Schematic Sheet 4
The Page Trigger circuits first offer a user sensitivity adjustment, via R3, then provide up to 26dB of gain for the trigger signal. V13, Section B acts as a threshold comparator and a peak hold circuit. For signals exceeding the threshold, the circuit changes state rapidly, and holds the new state long enough to ride through syllabic and inter-word pauses in paging. The two remaining sections of U13 provide a fade-back time constant for the music and adjust the control voltage levels to suit the muting transistors Q3,4,5,6 and 7.
Two sections of U14 mix the music and page signals, while the other two sections of U14 provide the mono versions of the music signals and the music+page signals. Switch S9 en­ables paging in the signals fed on to the speaker outputs. R2 allows for adjustment of the page level relative to the music.
3. IO2 PCB
3.1 IO2 PCB Schematic Sheet 5
S7, the Line Output Mode switch, selects the signals sent on to U200 and the Line Outputs. Relay K1, controlled by Q201 and Q200, mute the Page and Line Outputs during power on and power off transitions to prevent glitches from reaching the outputs.

3.2 IO2 PCB Schematic Sheet 6
The remote volume control function is implemented on this sheet with a dual VCA, IC U201, and its buffer, U202. (An alternate part could be used in U201A, but this is a manufacturing alternative, not a field service alternative.) U201 is controlled by a current sourced into the signal VCA, coming from Sheet 7. When VCA is about 2mk, gain is at its maximum, which is unity (0dB). When the current into VCA is zero, the gain is essentially off (-80dB or so).
S4 and its related components are factory set gain trims.
3.3 IO2 PCB Schematic Sheet 7
Transistors Q202, Q203 and related components transform the variable resistance of the remote volume control into the current source that feeds signal VCA, on Sheet 6.
U205 is a conventional bass and treble control, while U203 is an equalizer stage intended to
®
provide the EQ adjustment needed when FreeSpace
6 systems are configured with Surface-
mount loudspeakers (as opposed to the Flush-mount FreeSpace 6 speakers).
4. Power Amplifier PCB
4.1 PA PCB Schematic Sheet 8
U301, part of U300, and U302 implement a acoustically correct low frequency compensation for more natural bass. The other two sections of U300 process the signal CD-DIA (“clip­detect-diagnostic”, see Sheet 10) into a control signal that is sent through P2A, remote volume control circuit on Sheet 7 . CD-DIA becomes active when the power amplifiers are driven into clipping. This in turn causes the remote volume control circuit to be turned down so that clip­ping ceases.
4.2 PA PCB Schematic Sheet 9
U303 combines the low frequency compensation signal with the full range signals and then equalizes them to compensate for room acoustic and speaker driver characteristics.
4.3 PA PCB Schematic Sheet 10
U304 and U307 are power amplifiers with differential outputs. Both amplifier outputs can deliver 16 watts into the nominal 2 ohm load of a pair of FreeSpace 6 speakers. The CD-DIA pins are pulled low when the amplifiers begin to clip. This is used to control a compressor implemented on Sheet 9 and Sheet 7.
D306 develops the DC power supply for the power amplifier. Q305 and associated compo­nents constitute a shunt voltage regulator which only conducts in the unlikely event of both a high power line voltage and a low or no signal output case. It holds 18V maximum which is presented to U304 and U307.
D305, U305, and U306 are the +/-15V supply for all the circuits except for the power amplifier. The power transformer secondary plug can be inserted two ways; one way will handle a nomi-
nal 120VAC main, the other a nominal 240VAC main. The two orientations of this plug are noted on the PCB.

5. Remote PCB
REM PCB Schematic Sheet 11
The circuits on this sheet are contained on a small PC board inside the remote control. The potentiometer is wired as a 10K ohm rheostat and controls the remote volume control circuits on Sheet 6, while the SPST switch controls the Music Selector on Sheet 1.
