Model 35 Stand Mounting
Included with each Model 35 Talent
Amplifier is a nifty mounting adapter that
allows the unit to be conveniently attached
to a microphone stand. Please refer to the
Installation Guide provided in the Model
35’s shipping carton for details.
Model 38 and Model 51 Mounting
Options
The Model 38 Talent Amplifier and the
Model 51 Control Console include provi-
sions for mounting to microphone stands,
equipment consoles, etc. To avoid “rein-
venting the wheel,” our products are
compatible with the 25 Series components
from OmniMount Systems, Tempe,
Arizona U.S.A. (602) 829-8000, a supplier
of finely engineered mounting systems.
This firm makes many versions of the 25
Series; one of which should fit your needs.
If you desire microphone stand mounting
the following components would be ap-
propriate for English-thread applications:
25RST-25H Straight Tube Reverse Mount
with Quick Release, along with a 25MA
Microphone Stand Adapter. (If quick
adjustment is not required the 25RST
Straight Tube Reverse Mount can be used
in place of the first item.) When connecting
to metric-thread stands please contact
OmniMount for the correct part numbers.
The bottom surface of the Model 38 Talent
Amplifier contains two threaded inserts
that will accept English-standard ¼-20
screws. Using two, 5 /
8
-inch long, round-
head machine screws, the 25 Series
clamp assembly can be directly attached.
The cover of the Model 38 does not have
to be removed.
The design of the Model 51 did not allow
the inclusion of threaded inserts, so holes
of adequate size to allow ¼-20 round head
machine screws are provided. It is in-
tended that screws of 5 /
8
-inch length, along
with lock washers and machine nuts, will
securely attach a 25 Series mounting
clamp assembly. The cover of the Model
51 will have to be removed to gain access
to mounting holes. Be careful when select-
ing the mounting screws—exceeding the
recommended 5 /
8
-inch length will cause
the mounting screws to damage the
Model 51’s internal components.
Remote Control Inputs
The Model 51 allows you to connect two
external switches or contact closures to
enable system functions. Input 1 allows
either a remote talk to studio or a remote
control room source select function to be
implemented. Input 2 allows a remote talk
to phones function to be implemented.
Using the remote “talk to” functions, it may
be useful to install switches at a producer
or director location. The Model 51 contin-
ues to provide local talk to studio and talk
to phones access even when external
switches are connected.
The required connector is a ¼-inch
3-conductor phone plug. Tip is talk to
studio or control room source select, ring
is talk to phones, and sleeve is common.
Switchcraft No. 297, Neutrik NP3C, or
equivalent will work correctly. Use a mo-
mentary, single-pole, single-throw switch
for each remote function. The respective
function is activated when the tip or ring
get shorted to the sleeve.
