5 Assembling and Wiring the Hardware

In the following you can find information on the mechanical assembling and wiring of an 52/MX Mixing Console and how to integrate it into a mixing system.

5.1 Wiring the Console

At first you have to keep in mind that it is possible to arrange an 52/MX Mixing Console with a lot of different shapes and sizes. Because of that it is not possible to explain the wiring process in detail for every mechanical assembly, but the basic structure is always quite the same.

Here is the way how to wire the exemplary console in the picture below.

1. Normally, the 52-4050 Console Controller modules are already mounted in the console frame. If not so, you have to do this first.

2. Mount the PoE switches in the console frame or put them into the shipped wall mount housings and install these housings close to the console frame. Within this flow of work, connect the red and blue power supply flat connectors of the PoE switches with each other and at least one of them with an outward speakon jack. (See the red cables in the picture below.)

Note

To power the modules of the mixing console, you need at least one PoE switch (Power over Ethernet) and a power supply.

Series 52 - 52/MX Mixing Console Installation Guide

3. Connect the PoE switches with each other and at least one of them with an outward RJ45 jack via CAT5 cables to establish the ethernet connection between these modules. (See the green cables in the picture below.) Afterwards the 52-4050 controller modules and the 52-4015 TFT screens need be connected to the PoE switches. (See the blue cables in the picture below.)

4. In the next step you have to connect the control modules via ribbon cables to the red post connectors of the 52-4050 Console Controller modules. An 52-4050 module is able to handle up to eight control modules. This number is limited to four, if you use motor faders. (See the brown cables in the picture below.) Mount the control modules in the console frame after you have wired them.

5. Finally, you have to connect the outward connectors. The RJ45 connector needs to be wired with the DSP Frame and the speakon jack with a power supply unit. (See System Wiring)

Wiring an 52/MX Mixing Console.

Some other wiring examples can be found in the 52/MX manual. There you can find wiring options e.g. for a distant TFT screen, a power supply unit with internal PoE switch as well as consoles and networks for smaller and larger applications.

5.2 System Wiring

Note

You need an RM4200D DSP Frame with at least one RM420-852/853 Communication Controller to operate an 52/MX Mixing Console.

The mixing system consists of two main parts, which are coupled via an industry standard ethernet connection. These parts are:

· The DSP Frame. This unit includes all input and output modules, the DSP Audio Engine, the Control Engine and the

power supply.

· The Mixing Console. This is the user interface of the mixer with all faders, control knobs, push buttons, displays and

TFT screens.

The following picture should explain the basic structure how to wire a Series 52 mixing system. Of course in reality this is often much more complex, but the basic idea is always quite the same.

DSP Frame and Control Desk coupled via ethernet.

The Communication Controller RM420-852/853 in the DSP frame is the communication interface between the DSP frame and the connected modules on one side and the ethernet network for configuration and controlling on the other side. You can find three RJ45 connectors and one USB interface on this module.

Series 52 - 52/MX Mixing Console Installation Guide

Controller modules for the 52/MX.

Since the revision RM420-852B/853B, the upper RJ45 connector provides an RS422 interface (not useable as RS232). On previous modules this port has no function.

The middle connector of the three jacks is the interface to the controller network. Connect your console(s) to this RJ45 jack. All modules of this network own an unique IP address, which should not be changed. For configuration and controlling processes, as well as communication with other DHD Systems, the device can be connected to a PC or a local network via the lower RJ45 connector. The DHD system can get any IP address in this network.

Use the USB interface of the communication controller module if you want to connect directly to the device for maintenance.

Finally, the speakon connector of the console needs to be wired with a power supply unit.

General Information

Please use CAT5 cables continuous for wiring. But DHD recommends to use CAT6 cables for longer distances. The maximum length of the Ethernet cable between two modules of the Controller network is 100 meters (for instance between the Communication Controller of the DSP frame and a PoE switch or between a PoE switch and 52-4050 Controllers - that are included in the Series 52 console and Q-Panel frames). Use only switches in the DHD network and the controller network, which are shipped and/or recommended by DHD for the usage in these networks. Especially the switches must be Unmanaged Switches working with a speed of 100 Mbit/s.

The following switches are tested by DHD and are recommended for the usage in DHD Ethernet networks:

Important

There are two 48V connectors on each 52-4080 PoE switch. At revision A of the PoE switch (52-4080A), the second speakon connector can be used to chain to another 52-4080. Do not connect two power supplies to a 52-4080A to achieve redundant power supply! There is no diode included in the 52-4080A!

Revision B of the PoE switch (52-4080B) provides the option to connect a redundant power supply to the module. Nevertheless, in revision B it is still possible to connect through the PoE switch to another PoE switch. Please take care about the internal wiring!

Series 52 - 52/MX Mixing Console Installation Guide

5.3 Calculating the Power Consumption

The following facts are important for the choice of power supply units for 52/MX Mixing Consoles.

· Use two 52-5048 power supply units for larger mixers with redundancy option inside the 52-5081 or 52-5083 power

supply frames. The maximum power consumption in total is 200W.

· Use two 52-5048 power supply units for several smaller mixers with redundancy option inside the 52-5081 or 52-

5083 power supply frames. The maximum power consumption in total is 200W.

· You may also use two 52-5047 power supply units for smaller mixers with redundancy option inside the 52-5081 or

52-5083 power supply frames. The maximum power consumption in total is 100W.

· Use the 52-4048 desktop power supply for smaller mixers in non redundant installations. The maximum power

consumption in total is 100W.

· PoE switches are not included in all 52-3xxx console or table installation frames.

· Use 52-4080 PoE switches for 52-3xxx frames or 52-5088 PoE switches inside the 52-5083 power supply frames for 52-

3xxx console or table installation frames.

Power wiring possibilities of the 52-4080 PoE switch.

· PoE switches are included in all 52-4xxx consoles or table installation frames, except 52-4x04.

Please use the following information to calculate the power consumption of your 52/MX Mixing Console.

· Calculate with 10W for each TFT display 52-4015 or 52-4515.

· Calculate with 15W for each controller 52-4050 inside the 52-3xxx or 52-4xxx console or table installation frames.

· If you want to power the loudspeaker amplifiers of the 52-4527 and 52-4424 modules via PoE switches, you have to

calculate 10W for each loudspeaker module.

Example A: 52-4932 (8 controllers 52-4050) equipped with 8 TFTs = 8 x 15W + 8 x 10W = 200W.

Example B: 52-3820 (3 controllers 52-4050) equipped with one TFT and one loudspeaker module = 3 x 15W + 1 x 10W + 1 x 10W = 65W.

5.3.1 Power Consumption Example 1

In this example a 52/MX console with two 52-4050 controllers and four TFT displays is used. Calculate 15W for each controller and 10W for every TFT screen. Consequently, the power consumption of this 52/MX console is about 70W. Additionally, four Q-Panels are connected to the system. In every Q-Panel one 52-4050 controller is integrated. The power consumption of all four Q-Panels is about 60W. If you want to use one power supply to power the whole system, this power supply must provide more than 130W. In this case an 52-5048 power supply is used.
