is on the function is active. The fourth LED
displays the input channel associated with
the function. When the LED is off channel
6 is selected. When the LED is on channel
7 is selected.
Operation
Now that you’ve installed and configured
the system, you’re ready to go. You
should find operation very easy.
Model 50 Central Controller
The Model 50 front panel contains seven
LEDs, one stereo line input, and one
stereo line output.
The power present LED should be lit
whenever AC mains power is connected.
During normal operation the two Over
Current LEDs will not be lit. They will flash
only if there is a problem interfacing with
the Model 51 Control Console or the talent
amplifiers that you have connected. Refer
to 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
another source is providing the messages.
The Bus LED lights whenever any data is
received, whether the messages are
intended 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 re-
ceived. Refer to the Troubleshooting
section if neither LED flashes during op-
eration 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
whenever the input is configured for
+4dBu operation. If you require a change
in input level refer to the Configuration
section for details.
Again as a convenience function, dub
output is available on the front panel. The
LED associated with the dub output is lit
whenever the output is set for +4dBu
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 select
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
