1 Safety instructions CAUTION: Please ensure power to your Juicerack/Juiceblock is OFF before installing or removing your 500 series modules. Hot Swapping, (exchanging of 500 series modules with the power on) is NOT recommended. If the Juicerack/Juiceblock power is on whilst exchanging modules, the pins on the modules edge connector may short and burn the regulator. For this reason, hot swapping of modules is not covered under the SM Pro Audio warranty.
2 Foreword Dear Customer, Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in SM ProAudio products by purchasing this unit. Our 500 series power supplies have been designed for use as a standard tool for home/pro studios, P.A. rental companies, Schools and in many other situations where audio products would be used.
3 Introduction Our Juicerack and JuiceBlock power supplies produce more current than any other 500 series power unit on the market today. So you can be confident that any brand of 500 series module will be powered correctly in your SM Pro Audio Juicerack / Juiceblock. The power output (in milliamps) for each SM Pro Audio model is as follows: Juicerack 1 = 600mA Juicerack 3 & Juiceblock 3 = 320mA per module slot. Juicerack 8 = 350mA per module slot.
5 Power up 1. Insert the external power supply into your Juicerack/block (or IEC cable for Juicerack8). 2. 3. Push the power button on your Juice power supply. If you are using a microphone pre-amp and a condensor microphone, push the phantom power button. 6 Juicerack 1 JuiceRack1 is a single-slot power source for operating one 500-series module. It is a half-rack format, and includes a connector that allows two Juicerack 1’s to be mounted into a 1 ru 19” rack.
8 Juicerack 8 JuiceRack 8 is a 19” rack-mount power source designed to house up to eight 500-series single slot modules in a vertical configuration. The rear panel sports eight slots of balanced XLR inputs and outputs along with eight slots of unbalanced 1/4” inputs and outputs. A 48V phantom power switch is located on the front of the rack. When the +48V button is pushed, the master phantom power is enabled, and each module may now enable its own phantom power. 8.
• LINK2 - Split a single unbalanced input and sends it to multiple modules simultaneously 1. Press the select button until Link2 LED is on 2. Press the status select button until the channel you wish to link is lit 3. Press the ON/OFF button 4. Repeat the above process to link further channels --------------------------------------------Below is an example of more complex routing using FEED & LINK simultaneously. Input of module 1 gets processed then outputs to (FEEDS) module 2, which again gets processed.
Removal of Modules The Juicerack 1 and Juicerack 3 have small slots in the top of the chassis that allows the removal of modules. After unscrewing the module, this is done using a small straight head screwdriver, which can be inserted into the top slot and pushed forward to release the module. In the Juicerack 8 the lid of the chassis can be unscrewed & completely removed for easy removal of modules. 10 Warranty 10.
