PAGE 26 GT TC SP Appendix A Technical Information SP / TC / GT CENTURY SERIES Architect's & Engineer's Specifications - SP Console The following text should be used when specifying a Century SP in a bid or proposal. The live sound console shall be constructed in a modular fashion and be housed in a steel frame with molded plastic side panel/carrying handles. The console shall be black with white labeling and utilize XLR lighting device connectors. The console shall have an XLR talkback mic connector and a headphone jack. These shall be located beneath the far right side of the armrest. All microphone inputs shall be electronically balanced and accessed via 3pin XLR connectors and have an EIN of -129 dBm. All line inputs shall be electronically balanced and accessed via 1/4" TRS jacks. The insert points shall be via 1/4" TRS jacks. Each input channel shall have: a +48 volt phantom power switch, a -15 dB mic pad switch, a 80Hz high pass filter switch, and 4-band fixed EQ (80Hz, 300Hz, 2. 7kHz, 10kHz) with an EQ In switch. Each input channel shall also have: a FET controlled (10 millisecond ramp) mute switch with LED, sub-group assignment switches, a L/R assignment switch, a dedicated mono assignment switch, a dynamic signal present LED and peak LED, a PFL switch, and a 100mm long throw fader. Each input channel shall have eight auxiliary sends which shall be controlled via six knobs and three switches. The aux sends shall have a pre/post fader switch for every four sends. The aux sends shall be selectable pre or post fader. The console shall be available in four or eight bus configurations. Each group module shall have a ten-segment LED meter array. The effect return section of each group module shall have a gain control, a two-band fixed EQ, sub-group assignment switches, a L/R assignment switch, a dedicated mono assignment switch, two aux send controls, a pan control, a level control, a dynamic signal present LED and peak LED, and a PFL switch. The remainder of the group module shall have a pan control, an FET controlled (10 millisecond ramp) mute switch with LED, assignment switches for: mono and L/R. A PFL switch, dynamic signal present LED and peak LED, and a 100mm long throw fader shall also be provided on the group module. The master section shall be four modules in width and have the following features: eight aux master controls with associated AFL switches, a 100mm long throw fader for each of the three master outputs and a comprehensive talkback system. The power supply shall be housed in a 14 ga. steel chassis that shall occupy two 19" rack spaces. The power supply shall have the ability to be daisy-chained to additional power supplies to provide a fail-safe operating environment. [. . . ] The result is maintenance of an effect in proportion to the main signal level. When an input signal is faded to 0dB, the post-fader Aux Send signals are also decreased to 0dB. In some cases, it may be desirable to derive effect sends pre-fader for special effects, such as those generated by a vocal doubler or harmonizer. The choice of switch position should be determined by the actual situation; though as a general rule, choose the pre-fader position for monitor sends and post-fader position for effect sends. XLR Balanced Outputs This output is designed to drive both balanced and unbalanced input devices without adaptation. [. . . ]
