Model 5110
Mic/Line Input Module
Introduction
The Model 5110 Mic/Line Input Module
is a compact, self-contained 2-channel
module intended for use in custom broad-
cast, live-performance, and general audio
applications. Offering a “building block”
of resources, the Model 5110 provides
two channels of high-performance audio
capability in an easy-to-use yet technically
sophisticated package. The module’s basic
functions include selectable input gain,
48 volt phantom power, status LED indica-
tors, and analog and digital audio outputs.
Module operation requires only an exter-
nally-provided source of 12 volts DC. Ad-
vanced features include user control “lock
out” and remote monitoring and control
capability.
General Highlights
The Model 5110 requires an external
source of nominal 12 volts DC for opera-
tion. The acceptable input voltage range is
10 to 18 allowing a variety of power sourc-
es to be utilized. Internal power supply
circuitry within the Model 5110 creates the
voltages required for the analog and digital
circuitry.
Standard connectors are used throughout
the Model 5110. Input audio connections
are made using gold-plated 3-pin female
XLR connectors. A DIN 1.0/2.3 coaxial
connector is used to interface with the
digital audio output. The 2-channel analog
audio outputs use a 5-position, 0.1-inch
“header” connector. The DC power input
and data bus signals use a 4-position,
0.1-inch header. Low-cost IDC (insulation
displacement) mating connectors allow
simple interconnection with the analog
audio outputs, DC input, and local data
bus signals.
For compliance with international broad-
cast audio level standards two versions
of the Model 5110 are available. The Model
5110S supports the SMPTE® audio
standards which have an analog audio
reference level of +4 dBu and a digital
audio reference level of –20 dBFS
(SMPTE RP155). The Model 5110E sup-
ports applications that require European
Broadcast Union (EBU) compliance where
the analog audio reference level is 0 dBu
and the digital audio reference level is
–18 dBFS (EBU R68).
