Introduction v ,QWURGXFWLRQ Welcome to the CADAC S-Type compact frame mixing console. The S-Type is the result of extensive market research, reflecting users’ need for a high quality, moderately sized console with state of the art design and performance. CADAC have been synonymous with superior audio quality, adaptability in use and rock solid build for over three decades.

System overview 1-3 Littlites can be turned on and dimmed from this module. The module also provides a talkback microphone input with gain control, HPF and phantom power. The signal can be routed to all 8 sub-groups and auxiliaries. The output can be muted, which can then be over-ridden via the talkback button. Check Mute and Mute All functions are located towards the top of the panel. Full details of the module functions are discussed in chapter 7 Stereo output, Comms, Osc and Talkback module 8414.

Connections and setup 2-1 5 &RQQHFWLRQV#DQG#VHWXS 514 6HWWLQJ#XS#WKH#FRQVROH The S-Type console is shipped in a flight-case to help protect it against any possible damage during transit. The following describes how to set up the S-Type: 1. If the console flight case is to be mounted on the CADAC PSU case, then first remove the PSU’s case’s front and rear cover. Note that if using a 2U drawer case, there is only a front cover. Both types of cases have wheels fitted with brakes at the front. 2.

2-2 Connections and setup 516 &RQQHFWLQJ#SRZHU#VXSSOLHV 51614 3RZHU#VXSSO\#GHVFULSWLRQ The S-Type console is supplied with the model 8500 Power Supply Unit. Each 2U x 19” rack mount power unit supplies all 4 voltage required by the S-type console. If more than one frame is to be used, then the 8400 Power Supply Unit may be used. Cadac consoles are designed to allow the use of two independent power supply systems in a redundant configuration - main and back-up.
PAGE 13
Connections and setup 2-3 51615 $&#SRZHU#UHTXLUHPHQWV CADAC 8500 power supply units are designed to run from a minimum of 100V up to a maximum 250V, 50/60Hz. The 8500 is rated at +13V@15A, ±18V@11A and 48V@0.5A. This is sufficient to supply power to one frame. In the case of more than frame, each frame can be powered by a pair of 8500 Power Supply Units (one main and one for back-up purposes).
PAGE 14
2-4 Connections and setup 51617 5HPRWH#VWDUW#RI#WKH#368 Each 8500 switch-mode power supply provides the following outputs: 13V, ±18V and 48V. Each PSU is fitted with a front panel mounted 9-way ‘D-type’ connector labelled “Connections for Remote Start”. If a remote start facility is used, Power Failure and Over-temperature LEDs may also be fitted with the remote start switches if required. Fig 2-5 shows the circuit for starting up a ‘system’ with a single switch.

Connections and setup 2-5 51618 5HSODFLQJ#D#SRZHU#VXSSO\#XQLW If replacing a power supply unit is required, please note the following: ■ The work should only be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician. ■ Make sure that the power supply system’s power switches are in the OFF position and the unit is disconnected from the mains. ■ Observe the correct polarity when connecting the new PSU.

How to use the S-Type 3-1 6 +RZ#WR#XVH#WKH#607\SH This section of the manual provides instructions and information on how to use the S-Type. The flexibility of the S-Type allows the operator to achieve the same result in several ways. In this section you will learn how to perform certain procedures to achieve a desired result. This does not mean, however, that the same outcome cannot be achieved by taking a different route.

On the appropriate matrix sends section on the Group/Matrix module (8413 & 8415), enable the desired matrix send by selecting its corresponding switch. The matrix level can then be set using the associated matrix output level control.

APP-I $SSHQGLFHV $1##,PSRUWDQW#LQIRUPDWLRQ#UHJDUGLQJ#(0&# In live sound applications, it is normal for the console to be situated a long way from its sound sources and amplifier/loudspeaker system. This inevitably means cable runs of many hundreds of metres. In order to minimize noise and interference pick up on the cables, it is generally agreed that the “balanced line” connection system is essential. On the S-Type console, all inputs and outputs (including insert points) are fully balanced.

GLOSSARY-I *ORVVDU\ Revision S2005-6 7(50# '(),1,7,21 A-channel The odd numbered mix group on a group module. When working in stereo, the left channel is reproduced by channel A and the right channel by channel B. ADDITIVE function An additive function is provided in that every new PFL or Listen signal is mixed with the previous one. assign The process of, for example, allocating a Master fader to control a number of input channels.

GLOSSARY-II S-Type bussed together Console frames that are inter-connected by means of a bus cable are said to be bussed together. By-pass By-passing something is the same as skipping it, for example, stopping the channel VCA from being controlled by the DC Master fader requires the DC Master fader to be by-passed. Call Remote Feature of the Osc & Comms module that activates a call light at a remote location. channel Input or output signal that forms a part of the final mix.

GLOSSARY-III Revision S2005-6 DC Group A direct current bus that controls the VCA drive voltage. DC Master DC controlled fader serving as a master fader to which one or more channel faders has been assigned. DC Master assignment Assignment of one or more channel faders to a Master fader. DC master membership Channel fader assigned to a certain DC Master fader.

GLOSSARY-IV electronically balanced output An electronic amplifier stage that produces two identical output signals, except that one output signal has the opposite polarity to the other. EMC Electro-magnetic compatibility. A series of regulations imposed by member countries of the European Union on manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment, to control electromagnetic emissions and susceptibility.

GLOSSARY-V Revision S2005-6 hot Refers to pin 2 on an XLR-connector. The signal on pin 2 always has positive polarity and is hence referred to as hot. See also in-phase signal. HP Filter Filter that cuts off undesired low frequencies. HP Filter Frequency control A rotary control to set the cut-off frequency for the HP filter. I/P Abbreviation of Input. I/P channel Input channel Inject An additional input connector for an output group.

GLOSSARY-VII Revision S2005-6 Out-of-phase signal A signal is said to be out-of-phase if the positive and negative parts of the waveform are opposed to the positive and the negative parts of a source waveform to which it is being compared. override Bypass or cancel a function. pad Electronic circuit that attenuates an input signal to allow for a line-level source to be connected to a microphone input. PAN Control Potentiometer used to place a signal somewhere in the stereo field.
