Preface
88910ADA-M/ST/SR — Instruction Manual
8910ADA-M, -ST, -SR Analog
Audio Distribution Amplifier
Introduction
The 8910ADA modules are low cost, high-density analog audio distribution amplifiers (DAs) available in eight output monaural (-M) or four
output stereo (-ST) versions, and four stereo remote (-SR). All versions are
designed for use in the 8900 Audio frames that provide input and output
miniature screw-down audio connectors or in the GeckoFlex frame using
an 8900A-R rear module. Each channel of the stereo has its own gain and
threshold controls.
The monaural DA has eight balanced outputs and the stereo DA has four
balanced outputs for each channel. Onboard jumpers on the -M and -ST
modules provide stepped gain control in 6 dB increments while a front
edge onboard potentiometer provides fine adjustment.
The -SR version is stereo with remote control ability using the web browser
or Newton Control Panel or it can be used in Local control mode using front
edge paddle switches for setting overall gain and balance and two
hard-wired gain and balance potentiometers for fine adjustment.
The 8910ADA features:
•Hot swappable modules,
•Overall gain adjustment using the front edge paddle switches (plus fine
gain and balance adjustment ± 6 dB with hard-wired pots on the -SR)
•Jumper selectable 6 dB gain steps from -12 dB to +30 dB on -M and -ST
modules,
•AC coupled audio path reducing DC offsets at output,
•Balanced low impedance outputs to drive bridging inputs,
•Maximum differential output level +24 dBu (12.28 V RMS) for -M and
-ST modules, and
•Maximum differential output level +28 dBu (19.47 V RMS) for
-SR modules.

Installation
Gecko 8900 Frame
The 8910ADA can be installed in either an 8900 Gecko or GeckoFlex frame.
An 8900A-R rear module is required for use in the GeckoFlex frame.
Installation of the 8910ADA module in an 8900 Gecko frame is a process of:
1. Setting local onboard jumper settings if using Local controls,
2. Placing the module in the proper frame slot, and
3. Cabling signal ports.
The 8910ADA module can be plugged in and removed from an 8900 Series
Audio frame with power on. When power is applied to the module, LED
indicators reflect the initialization process (see Power Up on page 19).
Frame Capacity
The maximum number of 8910ADA-M/ST modules can be installed in all
8900 Series Audio frames since the maximum power consumption and heat
generation is below frame cooling capacity. A maximum of six
8910ADA-SR modules can be used in a 30 Watt frame.

8900 module slots are interchangeable within the frame. There are 10
three-terminal connectors and 4 BNC connectors in each slot’s I/O group.
The functional assignment of each connector in a group is determined by
the module that is placed in that slot. The maximum number of modules an
8900 frame can accept is ten.
Figure 2 illustrates the rear connector plate for
an 8900 Series Audio frame.

GeckoFlex Frame
Installation of the 8910ADA module in a GeckoFlex frame is a process of:
1. Installing the 8900A-R rear module into the rear of the frame,
1. Setting jumpers on the module circuit board if using local onboard
2. Placing the 8910ADA module in the corresponding front frame slot,
3. Cabling and terminating signal ports.
Module Installation Precautions
Please read and follow the precautions listed below before installing the
front and rear modules:
•Use standard anti-static procedures during installation. As modules
Installation
controls,
and
can be installed or removed when the GeckoFlex frame is powered up,
before removing the cover, please use an anti-static bracelet tied to a
metal part of the frame.
•Install the rear module first, then the front module, then the optical submodule option (if used).
•When installing or removing a rear module, loosen or tighten the
screws holding the retainer clips to the frame manually with the
retainer clip tool provided inside the front cover of the frame (751version frames only). For 650- version frames without the tool, use a
2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Please do not use an electric screwdriver.
•Make every effort to leave the screws holding the retainer clips in place
(do not remove them completely). They are very small and can easily
drop into other equipment causing a shorting hazard. (Two turns of the
screw should be enough to loosen the screws, 3 turns or more will
remove it.)
•When installing a rear module, tighten the screws on the retainer clips
just until snug. Do not apply more force than is necessary to seat the
rear module. Refer to the
retainer clip screw torque in Table 6 on p age 42.

Installation
Use needlenose pliers
to pull out blank after
removing retainers.
Rear Module Installation
To install a rear module into GeckoFlex frame, follow these steps:
NotePlease read Module Installation Precautions on page 13 before installing the
rear module.
1. Each 8900A-R rear module or blank rear adapter cover is held in place
by two retainer clips as shown in Figure 3. Loosen (but do not remove
completely) the two screws holding each retainer clip to the frame with
a 2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Pull up on the retainer to remove it,
leaving the screws in place.
CAUTION Be careful to leave the screws in place as they can be easily lost or fall into
equipment below the frame creating a shorting hazard.
2. Remove the blank rear adapter cover by inserting needlenose pliers
into the slots in the top and bottom of the blank and pulling it off.
NoteTo remove a rear module already installed, follow the same steps. It is helpful
to first remove the front module so the rear can be pulled out more easily.
3. Insert the rear module into the empty slot.
4. Replace each retainer clip over the two screws on both sides of the
module and push down to seat the retainer.
5. Tighten the screws for each retainer clip just until they are snug. Do not
force or torque the screws too tightly. The rear retainer clip screw torque
specification is 4-5-inch-lb./0.45-0.60Nm.

Hard-wired Fine Gain/Balance Potentiometer Control
On the 8910ADA-SR module only, BNCs J11 and J12 can be connected to
external hard-wired customer-supplied potentiometers for fine (± 6 dB)
gain and balance adjustment respectively. Overall gain and balance (-12 dB
to +30 dB) are set with the front edge paddle switches as explained below.
NoteThe hardwired potentiometer controls are active only when the module is
jumpered for LOC/POT control. The Local/Remote position disables these
ports. Refer to Figure 11 on page 24.
When both local paddle switch adjustments and hard-wired potentiometer
adjustments are made, the following input gain relationships exist:
•Input 1 gain = hard-wired potentiometer gain + paddle switch gain paddle switch balance - hard-wired potentiometer balance
•Input 2 gain = hard-wired potentiometer gain + paddle switch gain +
paddle switch balance + hard-wired potentiometer balance
These relationships will be reported on the Audio Status/Control web page
in read-only mode similar to the one shown in Figure 16 on page 33. When
the gain or balance is changed using a paddle switch or one of the potentiometers, the web page will update when the user manually refreshes it.
Figure 7 provides a schematic diagram for constructing a user-supplied
hard-wired control circuit to connect to these BNCs.
