INPUT CHANNEL CONTROL FUNCTIONS A MAX 0 PATCH BAY PANEL CONNECTIONS A. EFFECTS - This knob controls the amount of signal its respective channel sends to the overall effects mix. When the knob is set at 0, the output is “dry”. I MAIN OUT EFFECTS B 15 +15 HIGH C 15 B. HIGH - Adjusts the amount of high frequency boost or cut in the channel. When all the tone controls are set at 0 (straight up), the channel is “flat” with no frequencies cut or boosted.
MASTER CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS A. EQ ASSIGN - This button switches the graphic equalizer between the main and the monitor bus. When this button is pressed, the EQ is assigned to the monitor bus. B. GRAPHIC EQUALIZER This 9 band graphic equalizer consists of active band pass / band reject filters spaced at octave intervals. Moving the sliders up or down boosts or cuts the gain at the indicated frequency. C.
TAPE INPUT / OUTPUT JACKS O. TAPE IN - Unbalanced phono (RCA) input jacks L designed for use with a tape player, CD player, etc. These jacks sum the stereo left and right input signal to a mono R signal useful for playing OUT IN O TAPE P prerecorded music. The tape/effects return to main and tape/effects return to monitor control the volume to these buses respectively. P. TAPE OUT - Unbalanced phono (RCA) output jacks designed for use with a tape recorder. They produce a mono signal.
SPEAKER WIRING AND CONNECTIONS Parallel or series are the two basic ways which multiple speakers can be connected to a single power amplifier. When speakers are connected in parallel, their combined impedance decreases. For speakers wired in series the opposite is true, their combined impedance increases. Also, when speakers are wired in series, higher impedance speakers in the series draw more power from the amplifier than do speakers in the series with lower impedances.
INPUT / OUTPUT CONNECTIONS BASIC SETUP OF YOUR SRM 6302 / 8302 The SRM 6302 / 8302 has a variety of connectors on its input / output panels. Below is a chart listing the various types and their pin outs.
GROUNDING AND HUMS TROUBLESHOOTING Ground loops are one of the most common causes of hum and buzz in sound reinforcement systems and other audio products. A ground loop usually occurs if the separate pieces of equipment are plugged into different AC circuits. Also, if the audio wiring is placed too close to the power cords, hums or buzzes can bleed into the system. Still, improperly maintained power and audio cables are yet another cause of bothersome noise.
SIMPLE SRM SETUP WITH MONITORS 3. The level control in each channel strip adjusts the amount of signal sent to the main bus where all channel signals are summed. The Main control in the master section adjusts the volume level to the main speakers. The Monitor control in each channel strip adjusts the amount of signal sent to the monitor bus where all monitor channel signals are summed. The Monitor control in the master section adjusts the volume level to the monitor speakers. 1.
RUNNING AN EFFECTS PROCESSOR THRU YOUR SRM 6302 / 8302 1. Connect speakers, microphones and other equipment to the SRM 6302 / 8302 as before. 3. The Effects control in each channel strip adjusts the amount of signal sent to the reverb / effects bus where all the effects signals from the channels are summed. The Effects control in the master section adjusts the signal level to the effects processing unit and the reverb pan. 2.
SRM WITH AN EXTERNAL MONITOR POWER AMP FOR MONITOR SPEAKERS 1. Connect a cord from the Mon Out jack to the monitor power amp and system. With an external monitor power amp, the SRM’s second power amp may be assigned to the main bus for additional power to the front of house speakers. When PA 2 is assigned to the main front of house enclosures, be sure one enclosure is connected to the PA 1 Out jacks and the other is connected to the PA 2 Out jacks. 2.
SRM WITH AN EXTERNAL POWER AMP FOR FRONT OF HOUSE SPEAKERS 1. Connect a cord from the Main Out jack to an external power amp. Be sure one monitor enclosure is connected to a PA 1 Out jack and the other is connected to a PA 2 Out jack. (PA 1 power amp can now be assigned to monitor speakers by connecting a small, shielded jumper cable from the Mon Out jack to PA 1 In. Next, connect the PA2 power amp to Monitor Out by placing the PA2 Assign switch to the Mon position.
