Automatic Features
Regular mic and stereo line input modules can have their output
assign buttons slave off of the SPD-5 telephone module output buttons.
If this feature has been programmed on desired source modules, when
it’s time to go on-air with a phone segment all you need do is hit PGM
on the phone module, and the PGM button on, say, your CD input
module (and the DJ’s mic module) will follow suit.
Note while this feature will turn slaved assign buttons ON, it will not
turn them OFF; you must do this manually.
Faders can be optionally equipped with end-of-travel CUE switches,
which will allow you to talk off-air with a caller with a simple fader
overpress. One of the faders can also have an optional EFS type switch
to automatically turn the module on when it is run up.
The channel ON (“START”) and OFF (“STOP”) switches are at the
bottom of the module. These can be programmed (via internal PCB-
mounted dipswitches) to activate control room and studio mutes,
tallies, timer restart and automatic cue drop-out. The ON switch can
also automatically trigger an external tape machine for recording
purposes (see page 9-7).
Cue Dropout can also be programmed internally, making it unnec-
essary to de-activate caller setup buttons before going live; simply
pressing the module’s ON switch will automatically do this for you.
Inputs and Outputs
All audio and control signals hook-ups are made via four 12-pin
AMP type connectors mounted in the bottom of the console’s main-
frame, directly underneath each module. AMP A connector handles
hybrid input signals (i.e., caller input) and the external input mentioned
on page 9-2. AMP C and D connectors handle outputs, including the
module1 and 2 feeds to your station hybrid (the phone signals going to
your callers).
The module also has three additional output feeds on the AMP#3
connector. These are generally used for recording purposes:
Composite Out – This includes everything: DJ, callers, music beds,
etc. Generally used to to record phone segments in advance of
actual airplay.
Composite Minus Callers – This includes everything but the callers.
Callers Only – No talent, no DJs, no music; just caller voices.
