INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

The individual descriptions and application notes contained in this bro-

 

 

chure are intended to acquaint designers and project engineers with the

 

 

Studer Audio System Components. They allow to realize custom-tailored

 

 

signal distribution, signal switching and amplifying systems to satisfy al-

 

 

most any individual requirement.

 

Euro-Cards (1.915....)

The backbone of the system is the so-called Euro-card, a circuit board

 

 

measuring 100 × 160 mm, which comes in a great variety of different cir-

 

 

cuit configurations.

 

Modular Sub-Cards (1.914....)

Furthermore, there are the Modular Sub-Cards, small plug-in cards. Four

 

 

of them can be accommodated on one Euro-size motherboard, allowing to

 

 

make up a system which provides the ultimate in flexibility.

 

Racks, Frames (1.918....)

Matching 19” mounting frames and 19” sub-racks for Euro-cards with or

 

 

without power supply are available as well as installation hardware.

For prices please consult your local Studer distributor or contact:

2 MSC SYSTEM

To provide highest possible flexibility for the designer of professional sound systems, Studer engineers have pursued a completely new concept.

The Euro-card is a convenient circuit board as far as its size and its plug-in features are concerned. However, it often offers excess space for a particular circuit. This has triggered the idea to utilize the Euro-card simply as a carrier (“motherboard”, order no. 1.915.770) for four smaller plug-in circuit boards, the “Modular Sub-Cards” (MSC).

The 32 connections of the Euro-card are divided into 6 supply lines common to the modular sub-cards, and 4 × 6 individual lines joining the plugin sockets for each sub-card. The remaining 2 connections are used as separate bus lines, one of them leading to sub-cards 1 and 2, the other one to sub-cards 3 and 4, resulting in a total of 13 connections to each MSC. A small motherboard for only one MSC is available as well (order no. 1.914.500).

A great variety of different circuits is available in form of MSCs, such as

Balancing amplifiers

Microphone pre-amplifiers

Speaker amplifiers

0-Ω input amplifiers

Limiters

Voltage controlled amplifiers (VCAs)

Relay sub-cards

High level input amplifiers

Line output amplifiers

1900 Hz signal generator/decoder

90° filter, stereo/mono

Flip-flop

Breadboarding card (0.1”/2.54 mm grid)

To meet the requirements of a system concept, a designer will be able to build individual circuits similar to working with a construction set: He either selects from the available circuits on Euro-cards or makes up his own Euro-card by simply arranging the most suitable combination of Modular Sub-Cards on the motherboard.

2.1Modular Sub-Cards (MSCs)

2.1.1

Motherboard for 1 MS-Card

1.914.500

If only one MS-card is used, this motherboard is helpful for both mechanical and electrical interfacing. It consists of an aluminium mounting base (135 × 36 mm) and a small PCB with a connector for the MS-card; for wiring, this PCB contains solder terminals.

Note: For installation of up to four MS-cards, there is a second, Euro-card format motherboard available (1.915.770) that can be installed into an Eurocard rack. Please refer to chapter 2.2.1.

Line Output Amplifier

1.914.501

Designed for operation at a nominal line level of +6 dBu (1.55 Vrms), this

amplifier can handle levels of up to +24 dBu (12.3 Vrms), providing an excellent overload margin without the risk of clipping. A unique circuit

around the primary of the amplifier’s output transformer ensures excellent frequency response performance throughout the audible range. Fine and coarse gain adjustment is provided which allows to accommodate input levels in the range from –22...+8 dBu for a nominal +6 dBu output.

2.1.4

High-Level Input Amplifier

1.914.502/504

Basically, this is an amplifier with near 0 dB gain for high-level applications, yet with additional features, such as remote muting facility, RF input filter, and choice of two input and output impedances. The input configuration is balanced, whereas the output is unbalanced. Jumpers in the primary of the input circuit permit selection of either high-impedance operation with RF filter or a 0-Ω input without filter, for summing-bus applications. The combining (mixing) resistors have to be added externally. By switching pin3 of the amplifier’s 13-pin plug to ground (via a corresponding connection on the motherboard) the amplifier may be muted from a remote point. If only 20 dB level reduction is desirable instead of muting, this can be programmed by connecting a resistor across two solder points.

E8

Date printed: 29.11.01

Professional Audio System Components

The amplifier may be used, for example, to work into a 600 Ω load, or

 

 

into the input of a 0-Ω input amplifier of another summing circuit.

 

 

If transformerless yet balanced input configuration is desired, an MSC

 

 

amplifier with basically the same performance characteristics is available

 

 

as well. Refer to the ordering information below.

Loudspeaker Amplifier

1.914.505

This low-power amplifier on a modular sub-card is designed to drive a 10...15 Ω speaker. Power output is about 2...3 W. As can be concluded from this specification, the amplifier is not intended for high-quality monitoring. It will be ideally suited, however, for pre-fader listening and similar applications. The amplifier’s input is balanced and floating, with adjustable gain.

Microphone Pre-Amplifiers

1.914.506/507

Two different microphone pre-amplifiers are available, for dynamic or condenser microphones, and for electret microphones. Both offer high gain and low noise, as is required for microphone pre-amplification.

1.914.506 features a balanced and floating input. It is designed for dynamic or condenser microphones with a source impedance of 200 Ω or less. An RF filter is incorporated at the input transformer’s primary. Furthermore, the input is equipped with the resistors required for phantom powering of condenser microphones.

1.914.507 is designed for unbalanced electret microphones requiring a 12 V supply.

A wide range of input levels can be accommodated (see level diagram).

By using the same solid-state switching circuit as can be found in the line and high-level amplifiers, remote muting or activation of a fixed amount of attenuation are possible as well.

The amplifier’s two outputs are unbalanced, with impedances of 3.3 kΩ or 33 Ω, respectively.

VCA with Electronically Balanced Connections

1.914.515

In contrast to the VCA 1.914.518/528 (chapter 2.1.8), this assembly features an electronically balanced input and output.

It is intended for use in balanced audio systems for a variety of applications, especially when gain is to be controlled from a remote point. It will be useful in audio-video post-production work where suitable DC ramps can control cross-fades, voice-overs, etc. Its high overload margin and its exceptionally low noise and distortion performance make it the perfect choice for high-quality audio applications.

By connecting the gain control terminals of a number of VCAs to a common potentiometer or fader, several audio channels may thus be controlled simultaneously.

Two control inputs provide VCA gain control from two different remote points

VCA with 1 or 3 Control Ports

1.914.518/528

Within the range of modular sub-cards, two more VCAs are available. Voltage controlled amplifiers are ideally suited for applications such as remote level control, level limiting (in combination with the voltage processor 1.914.519) or for automatic “voice-over” circuits, when driven by suitable ramp generators. These VCAs offer outstandingly low noise and harmonic distortion.

For best performance, they should be operated at a level of 0 dBu.

Gain pre-selection is possible on the 1.914.518 version, allowing gain/attenuation ranges either from +10 to –90 dB or from +40 to –70 dB, using an external potentiometer.

The 1.914.528 VCA card differs in that it is equipped with three external control inputs, providing gain control from three different locations.
