User manual SOUNDCRAFT VIENNA

[. . . ] Introduction to Vienna The Vienna range of consoles continues the Soundcraft tradition in sound reinforcement, offering superb performance, ruggedness, versatility and value for money - equally at home in the theatre, on tour, in a conference hall, auditorium or place of worship. Vienna has been designed to provide oustanding sound quality and facilities, a clear and practical control surface and the sturdy frame with built-in handles offers the strength to survive many years, either as part of a fixed installation or `on the road'. [. . . ] Comprehensive master and monitor functions are provided on the central Master module, including versatile talkback facilities either from the local engineer to desk outputs or as two way communication with a separate monitor console. The optional Dual Matrix output module allows additional submixes to be created from the group outputs, main mix outputs and a separate external input. These modules may be fitted in blocks of four where space is available. Vienna is designed to allow two consoles to be linked in a master/slave configuration, with opto-isolated control signals and balanced, buffered audio connections for maximum noise immunity. The interface allows two Vienna consoles, or one Vienna and one Europa console to be linked. Simplicity and clarity of operation is ensured by careful layout of controls, internally illuminated buttons and provision for three Littlelites on the top surface of the console, with an inbuilt dimmer. Introduction to Vienna 1 2 Introduction to Vienna Introduction to Vienna 3 4 Introduction to Vienna Installation Connectors Installation 5 Installation Vienna is designed for reliability, high performance and built to the highest standards. Whilst great care has been taken to ensure that installations are made as trouble-free as possible, care taken at this stage, followed by correct setting up will be rewarded by a long life and reliable operation. Warning!Before switching on your Vienna console, check that the mains voltage selectors on the power supply units are set to the correct mains voltage for your area, and that the fuses are of the correct rating. This is clearly marked on the case of the power supplies. Do not replace the fuses with any other type, as this could become a safety hazard and will void the warranty. Always ensure that you use the correct power supplies for your console. One CPS550 or CPS550-B unit and one CPS650 or CPS650-B unit are required for the 16, 24 and 32 channel consoles, while the 40 channel console requires one CPS550 or CPS550-B and one CPS750 or CPS750-B. Different configurations of power socket are used for each supply to prevent incorrect connection. Wiring Considerations A For optimum performance it is essential for the earthing system to be clean and noise-free, as all signals are referenced to this earth. [. . . ] Two EDAC multiway connectors are included for linking to other Vienna or Europa consoles and three BNC connectors are fitted feed Littlelites. 1/4" `A' Gauge Stereo Jack Plug used as balanced input: line inputs, 2 Track B returns, insert returns 1/4" `A' Gauge Stereo Jack Plug used as ground compensated output: Input & Group insert sends 1/4" `A' Gauge Stereo Jack Plug used as balanced output: mix insert sends, channel direct outputs 1/4" `A' Gauge Stereo Jack Plug used as a stereo output: headphones Installation 7 8 Installation Module Block Diagrams Input Module Output Group / Stereo Return Module Master Module Aux Master Module Matrix Output Module Module Block Diagrams 9 10 TO PEAK DETECT ALL BANDS HAVE + / - 15 dB CUT/BOOST - 30 dB DETECT PEAK DETECT - 30 dB BELL FREQ FREQ FREQ FREQ HI-Q BELL HI-Q 48V + 48V BUS INPUT GAIN TO MULTIWAY 20HZ - 40OHZ MIC - 2 TO - 70 dBu LINE + 10 TO - 20 dBu METER OUTPUT PEAK LINE MIC INPUT FROM XLR LINE AMP - 2 dBu BAL BALANCED RETURN 1KHZ 20KHZ 0-1 BELL/ SHELF 60OHZ 12KHZ Q-0. 5-1. 5 BELL 15OHZ 3KHZ Q-0. 5-1. 5 BELL 20HZ 40OHZ Q-1 BELL/ SHELF 3RD ORDER BUTTERWORTH ON/OFF SWITCH ON POT MIC AMP GROUND COMP SEND INSERT POINT HF HM LM LF EQ TO PEAK DETECT OPTIONAL TRANSFORMER LINE INPUT FROM JACK 4 - BAND EQ OPTIONAL LINKING FOR INSERT POST - EQ LINKS & METHODE CONN FOR TRANSFORMER & MULTIWAY INTERFACE PRE FADE PRE CUT PRE FADE POST CUT FADER BUFFER PRE FADE Input Module 1 M1 SOFT MUTE CCT TO PEAK DETECT 2 M2 SAFE 3 FADER VCA SYSTEM M3 SWITCH PAN MUTE SAFE SOLO SAFE PLR GROUP BUS ROUTING PANPOT PAN BUFFERS -1 1 3 5 2 4 6 BUS 1 4 AFL L AFL R PFL ENABLE AUX 8 AUX 1 - 8 PRE FADE PRE CUT PRE FADE POST CUT CONTROL AND BYPASS CIRCUIT M4 FOR NON-VCA INPUT BYPASS IS BY LINKS LOGIC CIRCUITRY MUTE BUSES 5 M5 CUT SOLO 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 SAFE VCA SELECT -1 BUS 8 7 8 6 M6 7 M7 -1 AUX BUS 3 AUX BUS 5 ON AUX 3 ON PRE AUX BUS 4 AUX 4 ON AUX 6 ON AUX BUS 6 AUX 8 ON AUX 5 AUX BUS 7 AUX 7 PRE ON MIX BUS ROUTING AUX BUS 8 ALL BUSES BALANCED 8 M8 AUX BUS 1 AUX 1 ON MIX L -1 L/R DIR EBOS DIRECT OUT + 4 dBu LINKS AND METHODE CONN FOR TRANSFORMER & MULTIWAY INTERFACE MIX R PRE AUX BUS 2 AUX 2 ON -1 MONO MIX MONO POST FADE Module Block Diagrams SOLO MUTE PFL TRANSFORMER OPTION PFL GROUP PEAK & ACTIVE PEAK 1 PEAK 2 ACTIVE PEAK DRIVE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 GROUP BUS SELECT GROUP OUTPUT CUT BALANCED GROUP SUMMING AMP PEAK 1 FADER PEAK 2 PEAK - 2 dBu ACTIVE 1 MUTE BLOCK -1 MIX L ACTIVE 2 L-R ACTIVE DRIVE - 30 dB ACTIVE GROUP PATH MON Module Block Diagrams -1 MIX R -1 MONO TO METER LEFT METER TO METER RIGHT STEREO INPUT PATH PEAK 3 PEAK 1 & ACTIVE 1 VCA MASTER SYSTEM INPUT LEFT WIDTH MUTE BLOCK STEREO UNITY AT CENTRE ACTIVE BALANCE WIDTH STEREO FADER Output Group / Stereo Return -1 1-2 3-4 5-6 INPUT GAIN - 10 WIDE PEAK 4 GRP 1 + 20 MONO PEAK 2 & ACTIVE 2 -1 7-8 GRP 2 INPUT RIGHT WIDTH MUTE BLOCK M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 L-R MIX L MIX R MON STEREO RETURN PEAK & ACTIVE PEAK 1 PEAK 2 PEAK DRIVE PEAK MASTER MUTE BUSSES MUTE LOGIC PRE -1 MONO AUX 1 PEAK 3 PEAK 4 ACTIVE 1 M8 3 CUT SOLO MUTE LINK FOR SOLO MUTE 4 AUX 3 AUX 2 AUX 4 ACTIVE 2 ACTIVE DRIVE - 30 dB ACTIVE 11 12 MIX PRE SUM LEFT L/R PRE L PRE R PRE M POST L 2 TK B REPLAY MIX POST R 2 TK B TO MIX RIGHT MIX MONO POST M MAIN MONITOR SOURCES TO PFL/AFL SWITCH LEFT BUS + 4 dBu LEFT MIX FADER + 10 dB AT TOP L TO MATRIX R TO MATRIX M TO MATRIX LINKS & METHODE CONN TRANSFORMER INTERFACE MAIN OUT L EBOS BALANCED SUM AMP BALANCED INSERT + 4 dBu MONO BUS 2 TK B TO MIX MONO ENABLE LINK LINKS & METHODE CONN TRANSFORMER INTERFACE MAIN OUT EBOS MONO TO MONO METERS + 4 dBu 2TKA BALANCED SUM AMP BALANCED INSERT + 4 dBu 2TKA + 4 / - 10 INTERNAL MONO MIX FADER + 10 dB AT TOP Master Module 1 of 3 2 TK B TO MIX 2TKB 2TKB + 4 / - 10 INTERNAL RIGHT BUS RIGHT MIX FADER + 10 dB AT TOP TB TO L/R TB TO CNTR M POST FADE L ALT PA/RECORD OUTPUT LINKS & METHODE CONN TRANSFORMER INTERFACE MAIN OUT R EBOS + 4 dBu 2 TK B REPLAY BALANCED SUM AMP BALANCED INSERT + 4 dBu L L OUT + 4 dBu R M PRE FADE L PRE L/R SUM LINKS & METHODE CONNS TRANSFORMER INTERFACE MIX LEFT LEFT MIX MONO R OUT + 4 dBu FROM PFL/AFL SUM MTR MIX RIGHT PFL/AFL TO MECHANICAL VU METERS IN OVERBRIDGE RIGHT 20 SEG MONO METER Module Block Diagrams M PRE FADE R M POST FADE R FROM MAIN LEFT MONITOR RIGHT SOURCES 20-SEGMENT LED METERS PFL BUS PFL PFL/AFL CHANGE OVER SWITCH LEFT DIM RIGHT WHEN PFL/AFL IS ACTIVE PFL/AFL TRIM + / - 15 dB PFL AFL L Module Block Diagrams AFL BUS L AFL PFL AFL R DIM CONTROL ROOM LEVEL AFL BUS R DETECT HIGHEST LEVEL + 10 dB AT MAX MONITOR EBOS OUTPUT L + 4 dBu PFL/AFL METER DIM ENABLE TALKBACK SIGNALS MONITOR EBOS OUTPUT R + 4 dBu PFL/AFL SUM 20-SEGMENT LED METER FROM: INT.
