GENERAL TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
+
+
The AV62 uses a straightforward analog signal path to provide excellent audio performance. Enhanced signal routing and mixing capability make the AV62 far more versatile than a simple routing switcher. For example, line level sources may be mixed together for multi-media presentations.
Figure 1 shows the simplified block diagram of the AV62. Each line level input has individually controllable input gain. The individual left and right line inputs are mixed after the input gain control. The left and right signals then pass through a stereo tone control. From there, the signals are distributed to the various outputs according to the user’s setup.
The microphone preamp is a low-noise discrete design, which is extensively RF protected. The preamp has three gain settings. The 0dB setting allows an input to accept line level signals, while the +30dB and +50dB gain settings accommo­date both low and high sensitivity microphones. 15V Phantom power is provided for each channel, and is always active. The two mic inputs have individual level controls. The post level control signals are summed, and passed on to the tone control circuitry. From there, the signals are distributed to the various outputs according to the user’s setup.
Six Line In Select pushbuttons allow line level audio sources to be selected when the AV62 is in the Local mode. The AV62 may be programmed to allow only one audio source at a time or any number of audio sources. Six Remote Line/Memory Select terminals are available on the rear panel 9 pin D-Sub connector that replicate the function of the front panel pushbuttons for remote control applications. In addition, both the Program and Mono output levels may be individually remotely controlled using a 10K linear pot.
Signals from the Expansion In and Expansion Out connectors allow an AV62 to be combined with one or more AM8s if more than 2 microphone inputs are necessary for the application. Special circuitry in the AV62 allows its microphone inputs to function as automatic mics when combined with AM8s. In addition, a Mix Minus signal is available which allows easy interfacing to the TH2 or other teleconferencing hybrids.
An RS-232 port is available to allow many of the functions of the AV62 to be controlled either by a computer or a dedicated control system (such as the AMX or Crestron systems).

INSTALLATION
e
Installing the AV62 properly is simple, and only requires attention to a few issues. The AV62 should be used in a grounded metal rack. If one or more AM8s are to be used with the AV62, the AM8s should all be set to the Slave mode, and con­nected to the AV62 as shown below in Figure 2. Figure 3 shows the correct interconnection of an AV62 and a TH2.

PROGRAM AUDIO SECTION
LINE INPUT/MEMORY SELECT - Local Mode: Selects one (or more) line level inputs to be included in the program
audio mix. The LED adjacent to the button will illuminate when that channel is selected. The AV62 is in Local mode when the Local Mode LED (just to the left of the Power LED) is illuminated. The rear panel remote Line/Memory Select contact closure inputs perform the same function as the pushbuttons.
Memory Recall Mode: Selects which stored memory preset (1-6) will be loaded into theAV62. The LED adjacent to the button will illuminate to indicate the currently active memory. The AV62 is in Memory Recall Mode when the Local Mode LED (just to the left of the Power LED) is not illuminated. Note that the front panel buttons are the only live front panel controls when the AV62 is in the Memory Recall Mode. The rear panel remote Line/Memory Select contact closure inputs perform the same function as the pushbuttons.
Special Line Input Select Functions - The Line Input select buttons listed below have special functions when pushed while the power is applied. The correct procedure for using the special functions is to turn power to the AV62 Off, push the desired button, and reapply power.
Single Line Input Select Mode, Line Input 1 Select Button: This button forces the AV62 into the single line input select mode. In this mode, only one line input at a time may be selected as the active input. When a new input is selected (using the Line Input Select buttons or the rear panel remote Line/Memory Select contact closure inputs), the previous input is automatically turned off.
Multiple Line Input Select Mode, Line Input 2 Select Button: This button forces the AV62 into the multiple line input select mode. In this mode, any number of line inputs may be selected as active inputs. An input will be turned on by the first press of its associated button, and the next press of that button will turn the input off.
Local Mode/Memory Recall Mode, Line Input 3 Select Button: This button toggles the AV62 between the Local Mode and the Memory Recall Mode. In the Memory Recall Mode, the AV62 will automatically load stored memory 1 as the current active memory at power up. Note that in the Memory Recall Mode, the Line Input Select buttons or the rear panel remote Line/Memory Select contact closure inputs select which of the stored memories(1-6) will be loaded as the active memory.
Reset to Factory Defaults, Line Input 6 Select Button: This button resets the AV62 non-volatile memory to the factory default state. The one exception is that the LecNet address is not reset to the factory default.
TONE CONTROLS - Adjusts the bass and treble response of the summed program inputs. The range is +/-10dB, with
2.5dB steps for both bass and treble. Note that the Program Tone controls do not affect signals linked from the microphone inputs. See also the Link Button description below.
BALANCE - Adjusts the left/right stereo balance of the program output.
LIMIT LED - Illuminates when the program output limiter is active.
PROGRAM OUTPUT - Adjusts the audio level of the Program output.

MONO AUDIO SECTION
MIC IN 1-2 LEVEL - Controls the level of each of the microphone inputs.
TONE CONTROLS - Adjusts the bass and treble response of the summed microphone inputs. The range is +/-10dB, with
2.5dB steps for both bass and treble. Note that the Mono Tone controls do not affect signals linked from the program inputs. See also the Link Button description below.
LIMIT LED - Illuminates when the program output limiter is active.
MONO OUTPUT - Adjusts the audio level of the Program output.
LOCAL LED - Lights when the AV62 is in the Local Mode. Local mode means that the AV62 is controlled by the front and
rear panel controls. The Local LED is extinguished when the AV62 is in the Memory Recall Mode.
COMBINE BUTTON/COMBINE LED - The Link Button interconnects the Program and Mono outputs in the following way. Stereo program signals are summed to mono and mixed with the microphone signals. All of these signals then come out of the Mono Output. Note that the Mono Tone controls still only affect the summed microphone audio, but the Mono Output control effects all the signals. Similarly, the summed microphone signals are mixed at equal levels with both the left and right program signals. All of these signals then come out of the Program Output. Note that the Program Tone controls still only affect the summed program audio, but the Program Output control affects all the signals.

MONO OUTPUT - Supplies a balanced mono output signal. If an unbalanced signal is desired, simply use the (+) output and the ground terminal. The (-) terminal should be left unconnected.
MIC INPUTS 1-2 - Accepts balanced or unbalanced signal. Fully balanced differential input, RF filtered.
MIC INPUT GAIN SWITCHES 1-2 - Allow mic input gain to be set. Each pair of dip switches set the gain of the input
preamplifier. 0dB gain, for line level sources, is set when both switches are in the up position. 30dB gain, typically for high output (electret) microphones, is set when the leftmost switch of the pair is in the up position and rightmost switch is in the down position. 50dB gain, used for low output (dynamic) microphones, is set when both switches are in the down position.
LINE INPUTS 1-6 - Accepts unbalanced stereo consumer level (-10dBu nominal) signals from CD players, VCRs, multime­dia sound cards, etc.
INPUT LEVEL CONTROLS - Sets the input gain of the associated program input. Controls both left and right channels simultaneously.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setup of the AV62 consists of choosing rear panel microphone dip switch options, setting rear panel line levels, and adjusting front panel tone and volume controls. Using the Remote Level Control capability of the AV62 is addressed in the next section.
1) There are several options which may be set on the AV62 by pressing one of the Program Input Select buttons while turning on the power to the AV62. These button and their associated functions are listed below:
Program Input Select 1: Sets the AV62 into the single program input mode. This means that the AV62, when in Local mode (i.e. the Local Mode LED is lighted), may have only one program input active at a time. The single input mode forces the AV62 to operate as a one-of-six signal switcher as far as program inputs are concerned. For example, if program input 1 was active and the Program Input Select 3 button is pushed, program input 1 will be muted and program input 3 will become active.
Program Input Select 2: Sets the AV62 into the multiple program input mode. This means that the AV62, when in Local mode (i.e. the Local Mode LED is lighted), may have any combination of its six inputs active. The multiple input mode forces the AV62 to operate as a six channel mixer as far as program inputs are concerned. For example, if program input 1 was active and the Program Input Select 3 button is pushed, both program input 1 and program input 3 will be active.
Program Input Select 3: Toggles the AV62 between Local Mode and Memory Recall Mode. In Local Mode the Local Mode LED is lighted, and the Program Input Select buttons or the rear panel remote Line/Memory Select contact closure inputs determine which program inputs are active (see single and multiple input mode descriptions above). In the Memory Recall Mode the Local Mode LED is not lighted, and the Program Input Select buttons or the rear panel remote Line/Memory Select contact closure inputs determine which stored memory (1-6) will be the active memory.
Program Input Select 6: Resets the AV62 non-volatile memory to the factory default settings. The only exception to this is that the LecNet address is not affected by the reset.
2) Set up the preamplifier gain using the dip switch positions shown on the rear panel. The 0dB position is used for line level sources like tape players or VCRs. The 30dB position works well for higher output microphones like electrets. The 50dB position is best for dynamic microphones, or electret types where the distance from the talker to the microphone is more than 3 feet or so. Start with the front panel Mic In level at 12 oclock (straight up). Adjust the front panel Mono Mic Out level control until the desired sound reinforcement level is reached. Mono Bass and Treble controls may now be adjusted for best sound.
3) Set the rear panel Program level controls to the 12 o’clock (straight up) position. Further adjustment of these controls may be necessary if there is wide variation in level between program sources. Select one of the active program sources using the front panel Program Input Select pushbuttons. Adjust the front panel Stereo Program Out level control (and Balance control, if needed) until the desired program level is reached. Mono Bass and Treble controls may now be adjusted for best sound.
4) The Left and Right Program outputs and the Mono output have a limiter function which can be applied to limit the maximum output level of these signals. If limiting is desired, adjust the rear panelProgram or Mono limiter control (starting from fully clockwise) counterclockwise until the appropriate limit LED flashes. This indicates that the output is in limiting.
The system is now ready for use.

SERVICE AND REPAIR
If your system malfunctions, you should attempt to correct or isolate the trouble before concluding that the equipment needs repair. Make sure you have followed the setup procedure and operating instructions. Check out the inter-connect­ing cords and then go through the TROUBLE SHOOTING section in the manual
We strongly recommend that you do not try to repair the equipment yourself and do not have the local repair shop attempt anything other than the simplest repair. If the repair is more complicated than a broken wire or loose connection, send the unit to the factory for repair and service. Dont attempt to adjust any controls inside the units. Once set at the factory, the various controls and trimmers do not drift with age or vibration and never require readjustment. There are no adjustments inside that will make a malfunctioning unit start working.
LECTROSONICS service department is equipped and staffed to quickly repair your equipment. In-warranty repairs are made at no charge in accordance with the terms of the warranty. Out of warranty repairs are charged at a modest flat rate plus parts and shipping. Since it takes almost as much time and effort to determine what is wrong as it does to make the repair, there is a charge for an exact quotation. We will be happy to quote approximate charges by phone for out of war­ranty repairs.
RETURNING UNITS FOR REPAIR
You will save yourself time and trouble if you will follow the steps below:
A. DO NOT return equipment to the factory for repair without first contacting us by letter or by phone. We need to know
the nature of the problem, the model number and the serial number of the equipment. We also need a phone number where you can be reached 8 am to 4 pm (Mountain Standard Time).
B. After receiving your request, we will issue you a return authorization number (R.A.). This number will help speed your
repair through our receiving and repair departments. The return authorization number must be clearly shown on the outside of the shipping container.
C. Pack the equipment carefully and ship to us, shipping costs prepaid. If necessary, we can provide you with the proper
packing materials. UPS is usually the best way to ship the units. Heavy units should be double-boxed for safe transport.
D. We also strongly recommend that you insure the equipment, since we cannot be responsible for loss of or damage to
equipment that you ship. Of course, we insure the equipment when we ship it back to you.

AMX Programming Notes
If you are using an AMX system to control your LecNet equipment, youll want to purchase the Lectrosonics PT3 Protocol Translator. The PT3 connects between the AMX bus and any LecNet equipment. With the PT3, the LecNet equipment looks just like native AMX equipment. The PT3 is the fastest and most productive way to control LecNet devices with an AMX system.

SERIAL PORT COMMANDS AVAILABLE
The AV62 uses a modification of the typical one-to-one connection between two RS-232 compatible devices. The AV62 has both an RS-232 transmitter and receiver section. The transmitter section is “tri-stated”, or placed in a high impedance mode, until the particular device is addressed. To facilitate the simple parallel connection of multiple devices on a single RS-232 port, an addressing scheme is employed to route commands from the host to the proper device. When a device receives its address from the host computer, it temporarily turns on its RS-232 transmitter long enough to send whatever data is requested by the host. In this way, multiple devices may drive a single transmit signal back to the host, because only the addressed device will turn on its transmitter.
Valid address values are 128-254 (80h-FEh). 255 (FFh) is an invalid address and must not be used. Because the AV62 will interpret any single data byte whose value is greater than 127 as an address, single byte data (as opposed to ad­dresses) sent from the host must be in the range of 0-127. If a data value needs to be output that exceeds 127, two bytes are output such that the first byte is the lower 7 bits of the 8 bit value, and the second byte is 1 if the MSB of the data byte is 1, or 0 if the MSB of the data byte is 0.
Each AV62 command must be preceded by the address of the device to be controlled. If a device with the requested address exists on the system, it will respond by sending a 0' back to the host. The following code fragment, in BASIC, would be used to get an Acknowledge name string back from an AV62:
OPEN COM1:9600,N,8,1 FOR RANDOM AS #1 LEN = 256 Open com port 1 for 9600 baud, no
parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. ... ... PRINT #1, CHR$(138); Output the device address.
DataByte% = ASC(INPUT$(1, #1)) Receive “0” byte. The ASC function is used to convert the
received string data to numeric data.
PRINT #1, CHR$(1); Output the Acknowledge command.
DataByte% = ASC(INPUT$(1,#1)) Receive the length of the acknowledge string (4 for the AV62).
Name$ = INPUT$(DataByte%,#1) Receive the name string (“AV 62”)
The first PRINT and INPUT$ sequence must precede as the previous command. Thus, each interchange with an AV62 follows this pattern:
1) Host sends device address (1 byte);
2) Host receives byte of “0” from AV62 as acknowledgement;
3) Host sends command (1 byte) to AV62;
4) Host and AV62 exchange data based on particular command sent.
Note that you must wait for the “0” acknowledgement byte from the AV62 before sending a command to the AV62.
every command sent, even if the command is sent to the same AV62
AV62 Remote Control Usage Tips
1) Review the general LecNet command structure sequence above, and be sure you understand it well. Incorrect byte
order, or failure to provide all necessary LecNet information will cause the AV62 to reset itself rather than be stuck forever waiting for information from the host.
2) Before attempting to control the AV62 remotely, use the Set Current Memory command (11) to set the AV62 to one of the stored memories (i.e. memories 1-6). The reason for this is that if the AV62 is in the Local mode (memory 0), the AV62 will read front and rear panel controls to set its operational parameters. By setting the AV62 to one of the stored memories, the AV62 will ignore the front and rear panel controls and you may adjust the operational parameters using serial commands. The Set Current Memory command allows the option to store the memory selection in non-volatile memory or not. If you simply want to control the AV62 remotely, but do not want to change the current power-up memory, dont store the new selection in non-volatile memory.
The following is a listing of available commands grouped based on the AV62 function to which the commands are related.

The word Host in the command descriptions means the IBM PC, PC compatible, or AMX or Crestron controller to which the AV62 is connected. Note that all numerical commands and data are decimal numbers, not ASCII characters!
General Device Commands
Acknowledge - Causes the AV62 to send its name string back. The first data byte is the length of the name string, and
the rest of the data bytes are the device name.
Host sends command - 1 Host receives data bytes: Byte 1 is the length of the name string (4 for the AV62), bytes 2, 3, 4, and 5 are the
ASCII values for “AV62 ” (65,86,54,50).
Change Device Address - Changes the AV62 device address and stores the new address in EEPROM.
Host sends command - 2 Host sends 1 byte: device address, valid range 128 to 254.
Output Firmware Version - Causes the AV62 to outputs the version number of the current firmware. For example, Version
1.0 software would be returned as 10 (decimal).
Host sends command - 25 Host receives data byte: firmware version.
Get Current Audio Levels - Outputs the program left and right audio level, as well as the mono audio level. Audio level
data ranges from 0 to 255. 0 corresponds to -65dBu, and 255 corresponds to +20dBu. Scaling is .333dB/bit. Either the current audio levels may be output, or the peak audio levels since the last check. The latter option is useful if the levels are not checked often.
Host sends command - 4 Host sends 1 data byte: 0 - get current audio levels, 1 - get peak audio levels since last check. Host receives 3 data bytes: Byte 1: Left audio level
Byte 2: Right audio level Byte 3: Mono audio level
Get Current Memory - Outputs the current active memory. Data ranges from 0-6, where 0 means the AV62 is in the Local mode, and 1-6 means that the AV62 is set to the operational parameters of one of the stored memories.
Host sends command - 10 Host receives 1 data byte: current memory, 0-6
Set Current Memory - Allows the AV62 to be set to either Local mode (memory 0) or to one of the stored memories
(memories 1-6). Also allows the option of storing the memory selection in non-volatile memory such that it becomes the power-up default memory setting. Note that to remotely control the operation of the AV62, it must be set to one of the stored memories, 1-6.
Host sends command - 11 Host sends 2 data bytes: Byte 1: New memory selection, 0-6
Byte 2: 0 - dont save to non-volatile memory (use this option if you dont want to
change the power-up memory default) 1 - save to non-volatile memory Host receives 1 data byte: 100, to signify the completion of storage in non-volatile memory. This byte is sent regardless of which option is selected in Byte 2.
Get Stored Memory Contents - Outputs the contents of one of the six stored memories (1-6).
