Operation Manual Introduction Thank you for selecting an ASP500 Series controller for your application. We have designed this equipment to provide you with the best possible tool to deal with todays demanding requirements. We have taken a great deal of pride and care in the manufacture of this equipment so that it will provide consistent and reliable performance. Please take a little time to study the contents of this manual so that you can be sure of getting the best performance from this equipment.
Operation Manual Installation UNPACKING Your ASP500 Series Controller has been carefully and meticulously tested and inspected before despatch. Please check for any signs of transit damage. If any signs of mishandling are found please notify the carrier and your dealer immediately. Your ASP500 Series Controller packing should contain an ASP510 Surround Processor rack unit, an ASP510 Remote Control, a mains power cord, and a CAT5 interconnecting cable, along with this manual.
Operation Manual Installation AUDIO INTERFACES The ASP510 Controller has been designed and developed to provide highly robust system integration interfaces, allowing worry-free system hook-up under the most demanding situations. In order to maintain optimum EMC performance it is important that screens are properly connected at both ends of cable runs. In this way the electromagnetic shield provided by the equipment chassis and the cable screens will be optimised to reject interference.

Operation Manual Installation CONTROL INTERFACES The ASP510 allows various logic control signals from the host mixing console to be interfaced to allow continued operation of console solos etc. These connections are detailed on the next page and are made via AC/DC floating opto-isolators that will successfully detect any positive or negative going control voltage between 2v and 24v.
Operation Manual Installation CONFIGURING YOUR INSTALLATION OVERVIEW The ASP510 has been designed to allow maximum f l ex i b i l i t y in system configuration without compromising either ease of installation or use. It is important to recognise that the ASP510 can provide comprehensive management of both monitoring and record functions in a Surround environment.
