Manual Neos Model 1010 Version 1.0 – 6/2011 Developer: Wolfgang Neumann This manual contains a description of the product. It in no way represents a guarantee of particular characteristics or results of use. The information in this document has been carefully compiled and verified and, unless otherwise stated or agreed upon, correctly describes the product at the time of packaging with this document.
Symbols and Notes IN THIS MANUAL A LIGHTNING SYMBOL WITHIN A TRIANGLE WARNS YOU ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCKS – WHICH CAN ALSO OCCUR EVEN AFTER THE MACHINE HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM A POWER SOURCE. AN EXCLAMATION MARK (!) WITHIN A TRIANGLE IS INTENDED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL ADVICE AND/OR WARNINGS THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED. BE ESPECIALLY ATTENTIVE TO THESE AND ALWAYS FOLLOW THE ADVICE THEY GIVE.
Introduction The High Voltage Console Shortly after the turn of the millennium, SPL laid down new foundations for the improvement of analog audio signal processing. Thanks to new components, circuitries and manufacturing methods, we were able to increase the operating voltage enormously. Up to then, average operating voltage ranged form 30 to 36 volts (+/- 15 or 18 volts, considering that voltage supply is symmetrical). Maximum operating voltages reached 60 volts (+/- 30 volts).
Introduction Concept • 24 channel summing console with faders and panorama controls • Ideal for DAW-based studios with emphasis on audio quality. .
Important Security Advices Please note and retain this manual. Carefully read and follow all of the safety and operating instructions before you use the machine. Be doubly careful to follow all warnings and special safety instructions noted in this manual and on the unit. Connections: Only use the connections as described. Other connections can lead to health risks and equipment damage.
Hook Up Placement Place the unit on a level and stable surface or mount it into dedicated rack frames. The unit’s enclosure is EMC-safe and effectively shielded against HF interference. Nonetheless, you should carefully consider where you place the unit to avoid electrical disturbances. It should be positioned so that you can easily reach it, but there are other considerations. Try not to place it near heat sources or in direct sunlight, and avoid exposure to vibrations, dust, heat, cold or moisture.
Hook Up Power Connection CONNECT TO EXTERNAL PSU The Neos is fed through the external power supply. Before connecting the power supply always make sure that the position of the voltage selector on the back of the RackPack corresponds to the voltage of your local power supply (115V position: 110-120V, 230 V position: 220-240V). In case of doubt please ask your dealer, a professional electrician or your local power supplier.
Rear Panel – Switches & Connections, Basics GND Lift The rear panel GND LIFT switch eliminates hum by separating the internal ground from the unit’s housing ground. Hum can, for example, result when this unit’s housing has a common ground connection with other devices that might have a different ground potential. The switch is usually deactivated to retain the shielding of the housing. XLR Sockets All signal connections are made via balanced or unbalanced XLR sockets.

Rear Panel Inputs Inputs 1-8, 9-16, 17-24 INPUTS 1 – 8 The balanced DB25 input connectors are meant to connect the different signal sources. The Neos’ 24 inputs are divided into three DB25 connectors. You can get ready-made XLR or jack snakes in your local specialized store. INPUTS 9 – 16 The maximum input level of the DB25 inputs is ›30dBu.
Rear Panel Outputs R TAPE Rt. L R TAPE Rt. L R REC OUT L Tape Rt. (Tape Return) R REC OUT L The Tape Return function allows you to bring back the recorded signal to the Neos in order to listen to it. Connect to the Tape Rt. input the output signal of the DA converter or tape machine. The maximum level these balanced inputs can handle is › 30 dBu. To activate the input use the Tape Return push button in the Master path (for more information see Control Elements, Tape Return, on page 19).

Control Elements Input Path Pan PAN C Use the Pan control to place the signal in the stereo field of the sum signal. Both mono and stereo signals can be placed continuously in the stereo field anywhere from hard left (L) to center (C) and hard right (R). R L Cut CUT Use the Cut push button to mute the input signal of the corresponding channel. The input signal is withdrawn from the mix and therefore is not available anymore in the sum or monitor signals.
Control Elements Master Path MON B Mon B Use the Master path’s top-most push button to activate the Monitor B output. Monitor output A will be muted. Usually you would have two different sets of monitor speakers connected. With the Monitor B push button you can choose the set you want to listen to. However, you can always connect a headphones preamp to one of the Monitor outputs.
Control Elements Master Path Dim MUTE Dim reduces 20 dB the listening volume of both monitor outputs. This setting can be used, for example, to compare the same mix at two different listening levels without having to modify the Volume control. 20 dB is a value which has been accepted in the industry as a standard. DIM Mono MONO The mono switch sums the two channels that make up the stereo signal. The mono signal is played back on both channels.
DAW-Integration Integration Examples and Channel Assignment A common way to feed the 24 channels of the Neos would be to use three eight-channel D/A converters. As a rule, one converter is defined as the main converter and the two others are connected in chain. As long as the converters have the same DB25 connectors the connection is straight forward and the channel assignment corresponds to the one in the DAW’s setup.

Zero and ten degree Mounting Angles The Neos comes with 19” rack-mounting side brackets. As you can see here, the holes on the side of the housing allow for two rack-mounting positions (0 and 10 degrees). The bracket holes have been designed in order to allow for an easy flush mounting in vertical or horizontal racks. If it were needed, the brackets can always be adjusted in order to flush mount the device in the rack.
