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 indi-
cators, and analog and digital audio out-
puts. Module operation requires only an
externally-provided source of 12 volts DC.
Advanced features include user control
“lock out” and remote monitoring/control
capability.
Applications for the Model 5110 include
sports broadcasting booth packages,
remote news gathering “fly-packs,” stadium
audio/video interface (I/O) locations, and
government/corporate/performance space
infrastructure projects. The number of
Model 5110 modules used in a project can
vary widely—from one to dozens. And in
each case the Model 5110’s performance
will be completely “pro” with audio quality,
reliability, and installation flexibility match-
ing that of large-scale consoles, routers,
and transport resources. Typical applica-
tions will find the Model 5110’s analog and
digital outputs being interfaced with inputs
on fiber-optic transport modules, audio/
video routers, and broadcast/production
consoles.
Model 5110 Mic/Line Input Modules do not
include a mounting enclosure or chassis.
They are intended for mounting in custom
19-inch rack panels, equipment boxes,
broadcast furniture, or other specialized
settings. It is expected that integration
firms will create applications that use
Model 5110 modules as part of complete
broadcast, production, corporate, and
government solutions.
Two microphone or line-level audio signals
can be connected to the Model 5110’s
front panel XLR connectors. Using the
front-panel pushbutton switches, the sensi-
tivity of each input can be adjusted to one
of four gain settings: line (0 dB), 15 dB,
30 dB, or 45 dB. To support high-perfor-
mance microphones +48 volt phantom
power can be selected as required. Status
LEDs are provided to display the current
settings of the sensitivity and phantom
power. A 7-segment LED level meter is
also provided for each channel.
