only if there is a problem interfacing with
the Model 51 Control Console or the
talent amplifiers that you have connected.
Refer to the Troubleshooting section if
either Over Current LED lights.
When used with the Model 51 Control
Console, both Input Data LEDs will light
whenever a message is received. Why
are there two LEDs? They are provided
for diagnostic use in those special cases
where the Model 51 is not used, and an-
other source is providing the messages.
The Bus LED lights whenever any data is
received, whether the messages are in-
tended for the Model 50 or not. The Model
50 Input Data LED will light only when a
MIDI-exclusive message that matches the
Model 50’s format is received. Refer to
the Troubleshooting section if neither LED
flashes during operation with the Model 51
Control Console.
Input 7 is located on the front panel for
easy access; connecting a temporary
source to your system doesn’t require
getting at the back of the Model 50. The
LED associated with input 7 will light when-
ever the input is configured for +4 dBu
operation. If you require a change in input
level refer to the Configuration section for
details.
Again as a convenience function, dub out-
put is available on the front panel. The LED
associated with the dub output is lit when-
ever the output is set for +4 dBu operation.
Refer to the Configuration section if you
require a change in dub configuration.
Model 51 Control Console
All StudioComm functions are controlled
using the Model 51 Control Console. To
make things easy, we’ve divided the
StudioComm functions into four main
groups: input-output selection, control
room outputs, studio output, and commu-
nications functions.
Input-Output Selection
Input-output selection is simple. To se-
lect an input for monitoring in the control
room, press one of the seven CR/Studio
buttons. The corresponding LED in the
CR/Studio column will light to let you
know which input is selected. If the input
is set for mono the LED will continually
flash on and off as a warning.
If the remote control room source select
function is enabled, the select button
associated with either input 6 or input 7
will not be usable. A remote signal will
cause this input to be selected. Whenever
the remote signal is activated, the control
room source will automatically change to
the designated input (6 or 7). When the
remote signal is no longer active, the
control room input source will return to
the previous selection.
The source selected for control room
monitoring will automatically be connect-
ed to the meter output. There is no inde-
pendent selection of the meter output.
If the studio source is configured to follow
the control room source, it will automati-
cally switch to the input you select. You
can easily tell if the studio is following
the control room because whenever the
studio output is on, the studio On LED will
flash each time you select a new input.
Selection of the headphone source de-
pends on how the Model 51 has been
configured. In the default operating mode,
to select an input for the headphones,
press and hold the Phones/Studio button
and press one of the seven CR/Studio
