System Components
The main StudioComm shipping carton
contains a Model 50 Central Controller,
Model 51 Control Console, 5-conductor
MIDI-style cable, User Guide, and war-
ranty card. Units destined for North
America are shipped with an AC mains
cord. Your dealer or distributor will provide
an AC mains cord for non-North American
destinations. Model 35 and Model 38
Talent Amplifiers, along with accessories,
will be contained in separate cartons.
Please check to ensure you have every-
thing you need.
Mounting the Model 50
The Model 50 requires one space in a
standard 19-inch (48.3cm) equipment
rack. Select a location near where the
Model 51 Control Console will be located.
A cable is provided to connect the Model
50 to the Model 51. If required, you can
supply a longer cable, however 50 feet
(15.3m) is the recommended maximum
length. It is desirable to locate the Model
50 to allow easy access to both the front
and the back panels. The back panel
contains most of the input and output
connectors, while the front panel is used
to access line input 7 and a multiple (mult)
of the dub output. In addition, the front
panel also contains several LED indica-
tors. The Model 50 is secured to the
equipment rack using two mounting
screws per side.

Audio Inputs and Outputs
The Model 50’s line-level audio input
and output connections are made using
¼-inch 3-conductor phone jacks. The
choice of phone jacks was simply a matter
of real estate—21 XLR connectors don’t
quite fit on the back of a one rack-space
unit! Don’t be concerned about your audio
quality, the jacks we use are manufac-
tured by Neutrik of Switzerland and fea-
ture gold-plated contacts.
Caution: For reliable audio interconnec-
tion, the plugs you use must comply with
industry standard RS-453. Switchcraft No.
297, Neutrik NP3C, or equivalent will work
correctly. Refer to the Technical Notes
section for details.
For all input and output phone plugs,
tip is positive (+ or hot), ring is negative
(– or cold), and sleeve is shield. The
