for Surround
connectors are used in a simple loop-
through arrangement to connect the
Model 58 to a Model 59 Control Console,
as well as to additional Model 58 units.
The bypass function allows a line-level
audio source to be passively routed to
the monitor output channels. The bypass
audio source is normally the monitor
output of an audio console. The bypass
function, along with remote control input 2,
makes it simple for an existing facility to
add surround monitoring capability, while
maintaining its existing resources.
An 8-bit micro-controller provides the logic
“horsepower” for the Model 58. DIP
switches are used to select the Model 58’s
unit ID and operating mode. AC mains
power is connected directly to the Model
58, which is factory selected for 100, 120,
220/240V operation. The internal power
supply utilizes a toroidal mains transformer
for quiet audio operation.
Model 59 Control Console
The Model 59 Control Console is a com-
pact, self-contained unit designed to be
located at the operator’s position. It allows
fingertip control of all monitoring param-
eters. Numerous LEDs provide complete
status information. The Model 59 supports
up to eight output channels, and up to
four, 8-channel input sources. The actual
operating configuration simply depends on
the number of Model 58 Central Controller
units which are connected.
The Model 59 provides four buttons and
associated LEDs for selection of the input
source to be monitored. While in most
