The StudioComm Model 77 Control Console and Model 76 Central Controller with analog outputs or Model 76D Central Controller
with digital outputs enable simple and e ective monitor ing of 5.1 surround and stereo audio material. Designed for recording , postproduction, and broadcasting applications. System features include:
• Digital audio inputs • Downmix
• Analog outputs (Model 76) • Channel mute/solo
• Digital outputs (Model 76D) • Level adjustment, reference level, and dim
Model 77 and Model 71 Control Consoles
The Model 77 Control Console is the “command center.” Designed to reside at an operator’s location, it allows ngertip
selection of all monitoring functions. Numerous LED indicators provide complete status information. Five buttons and
associated LEDs enable quick selection of the surround and stereo input sources to be monitored. A large, easy-to-use
rotary digital encoder provides control of the surround monitor output level in precise 0.5-dB steps. A 4-digit LED readout
displays the level of the monitor output. The monitor output level can be adjusted via the rotary level control or pre-set using
the reference level function.
The Model 71 Control Console works with the Model 77 to provide additional user locations with the most frequently desired
functions: level adjustment, reference level, and dim.

Model 76 and Model 76D Central Controllers
The Model 76 and Model 76D Cent ral Controller s are rack mount able and o er two s urround (5.1) and thr ee stereo (2-channel) digital
inputs that are compatible with AES3id sources. Sample rates of up to 192 kHz and bit depth of up to 24 are directly supported.
Exceptional dynamic range and extremely low distortion ensure that the audio quality of each source is maintained.
The Model 76 Central Controller has eight analog balanced line-level outputs organized as:
• Surround (5.1)
• Stereo (2-channel)
The Model 76D Central Controller o ers 16 digital output channels with transformer-coupled outputs and selectable impedance
(75 ohms or 110 ohms):
• Pre-fade surround (5.1)
• Pre-fade stereo (2-channel)
• Post-fade surround (5.1)
• Post-fade stereo (2-channel)
The Model 76D’s sync input allows support for video (bi-level and tri-level), word clock, DARS, and AES3id. Sample rate conversion
is available on one input. In addition, up to 340 milliseconds of digital delay can be selected to compensate for processing delays
in an associated video path.
One Model 76 or Model 76D Central Controller can support a combination of up to four Model 77 or Model 71 Control Consoles.
