genius ENGLISH 1 INTRODUCTION • genius is a multifunction switcher with several applications: its different configurations depend form the way the jumpers inside the equipment are set. genius can be used in the following ways: - manual or remote switcher audio detector with automatic switching balancing equipment with level setting audio distributor bi-channel splitting system or double MPX audio emergency system autofader system • genius immediateness makes its use simple allowing remote control too.
genius ENGLISH The B input features a ±10 dB amplifying section set through the potentiometer on the front panel, too. The frontal panel selector can select 3 operative modes with the following features: • AUTO: it allows remote control and the Auto Detector system can directly switch on B channel if audio is missing on A channel. If external controls are missing the A inputs are directed to the output.

genius ENGLISH 3 DECRIPTION 3.1 FRONTAL PANEL À GAIN A: Potentiometer setting the signal level on the A input, it controls ±10 dB. Á GAIN B: Potentiometer setting the signal level on the B input, it controls ±10 dB. Â Audio detector: device able to detect the white in the selected signal; it spots when the sound does not reach the set threshold (see THR). When the white is detected the 1/16 led starts blinking according to the number of times set (see Led 1/16).
genius Å Led A R: it shows the presence of right A input in the right OUT output. Æ Led B L: it shows the presence of left B input in the left OUT output. Ç Led B R: it shows the presence of right B input in the right OUT output. 3.2 ENGLISH BACK PANEL À ON/OFF switch: it switches on the equipment, the led inside shows the status of the equipment.
genius ENGLISH Æ B IN: Left and Right inputs on connectors 3 pole XLR female connectors electronically balanced, PIN OUT standard configuration. Ç OUT DRAW: PIN RCA unbalanced output, it supplies the same signal present in B IN ; we suggest to use it as service output. È A IN: Left and Right inputs on connectors 3 pole XLR female connectors electronically balanced, PIN OUT standard configuration.
genius ENGLISH (N.B. J5∩J6 shows that you must insert the jumper between a contact in the J5 position and a contact in the J6; J5+J6 shows that you need to insert 2 jumpers, one in J5 and another one in J6). 4.2 EXTERNAL CONTROLS It is possible to connect external controls, to the Remote Interface, to remote A into B input switching and mix A and B on the outputs (MIX control). Even if the controls are connected, in order for them to work, genius should be in AUTO mode (see switcher on front panel).

It sends the signal of the Right channel of the A input to the Audio Detector adder. It sends the signal of the Left channel of the B input to the Audio Detector adder. It sends the signal of the Right channel of the B input to the Audio Detector adder.

Before starting Yr genius please check that any connection is correct and there are no wire problems. Make sure that the line voltage feeding the system corresponds to that indicated in the techìnical specifications (chapter 9). ATTENTION: genius is set at 220/230VAC, if it is fed by a different voltage (ex.
genius 7.1 ENGLISH INPUTS genius features 2 balanced XLR female inputs active with 10KΩ input impedance, and 2 DRAW outputs on PIN RCA to withdraw the A and B input signals. The A input features a ±10 dB amplification section set using the potentiometer placed on the front panel. The B input structure is different: it features a 50 μsec pre-emphasis and a 19 KHz sinusoid oscillator, both set trough jumper.
genius 7.2 ENGLISH OUTPUTS genius features an XLR male balanced output active with 100Ω impedance and a DRAW output on PIN RCA for general purposes. The output features a +6 dB amplifying section controlled by jumper. We always recommend, when possible, to realise balanced connections with good quality wires. pag.
genius ENGLISH 8 APPLICATIONS genius is a very flexible equipment and has many different application possibilities, according to its different settings. 8.1 BI-CHANNEL SWITCHER Its use as bi-channel or double mono switcher equipment does not require any internal setting. 8.2 EMERGENCY SWITCHER Its use as emergency switcher requires the enabling of the following functions and connections: 1. Connect the source to be monitored to the A input. 2. Connect the emergency source to the B channel. 3.
