UNPACKING AND INSPECTION ENG 8 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Your equipment was packed carefully at the factory in a container designed to protect the unit during shipment. Nevertheless, we recommend making a careful inspection of the shipping carton and the contents for any signs of physical damage. Damage & Claims If damage is evident, do not discard the container or packing material. Contact your carrier immediately to file a claim for damages.
FIRST INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS ENG 9 FIRST INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS 9.1 POWER SUPPLY CABLE A power supply cable of approx. 2 mt length is supplied with the device, which has a moulded IEC plug attached – this is a legal requirement. The type of plug for the power supply depends on the country in which it is delivered.
FIRST INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS 9.3 ENG FUSE REPLACEMENT The power supply socket has an integral fuse drawer containing the AC power fuse and a spare, both of the same value. BEFORE REPLACING THE POWER FUSE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TYPE OF FUSE FOR THE VOLTAGE TO BE PROTECTED. USING WRONG FUSE TYPE WILL RESULT IN INSUFFICIENT PROTECTION. Make sure that the power is switched off and the power cable is disconnected from the equipment. a. Open the fuse drawer using a small blade screwdriver.
FIRST INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS 9.4 ENG PROTECTION AGAINST LIGHTNING Should the device be put out of action due to being struck by lightning or excess voltage, disconnect it from the power supply without delay. Do not reconnect until the device has been checked. If in doubt contact the technical support service. Make sure there is suitable lightning protection to protect the device.
OXYGEN 3 SERIES - OVERVIEW ENG 10 OXYGEN 3 SERIES - OVERVIEW 10.1.1 QUALITY. The Oxygen 3 and 3 ST are specially designed On-Air broadcast consoles. Although the design has been carefully budgeted, no compromises has been made in either quality or features. Electronic components have been selected from the best on the market. Faders, potentiometers and switches are by ALPS.
OXYGEN 3 – AUDIO INPUT CONNECTIONS (REAR) ENG 11 OXYGEN 3 – AUDIO INPUT CONNECTIONS (REAR) 11.1 CH 1 TO 3 The first three channels feature two selectable inputs: - INPUT A: input for MICROPHONE signal, electronically balanced on XLR female - INPUT B (PIN RCA): LINE input. 11.2 CH 4 AND 5 The channels feature two selectable inputs: - INPUT A (PIN RCA): LINE input. - INPUT B (PIN RCA): LINE input (the A input can be set, if required, as PHONO, too). 11.
OXYGEN 3-ST – AUDIO INPUT CONNECTIONS (REAR) ENG 12 OXYGEN 3-ST – AUDIO INPUT CONNECTIONS (REAR) 12.1 CH 1, 2 AND 3 The first three channels feature two selectable inputs: - INPUT A: stereo LINE input electronically balanced on Jack 1/4” female. - INPUT B: mono input for MICROPHONE signal, electronically balanced on XLR female 1 Ground 2 Signal 3 Return Ground Ground Ring Return Tip Signal 12.
TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS (OXYGEN 3 and 3 ST) ENG However, Input B configuration on Channels 4, 5 and 6 may be altered via internal jumpers, accordingly to the following scheme: Jumper setting LINE / PHONO on the INPUT B / Channel 4,5 & 6 Stereo input board (Oxygen 3 ST) 13 TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS (OXYGEN 3 and 3 ST) The Telephone module features a built-in telephone hybrid. The audio sent to the telephone caller is a mix-minus (N-1).
TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS (OXYGEN 3 and 3 ST) ENG CONNECTOR PIN-OUT Pin Description 1 2 3 4 n.c. Tel line Tel line n.c. This unit allows the connection on parallel of a standard telephone set (for dialling services). Please note that „Phone‟ socket is always active (i.e. it doesn‟t depend on the „Hook‟ button state) and it has the same Pin-Out as the LINE socket. Should the device be put out of action due to being struck by lightning or excess voltage, disconnect it from the telephone line without delay.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS (OXYGEN 3 and 3 ST) ENG 14 OUTPUT CONNECTIONS (OXYGEN 3 and 3 ST) 14.1 MASTER OUTPUTS The Oxygen 3‟s Master section gives the operator an extensive set of resources.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS (OXYGEN 3 and 3 ST) ENG 14.2 MONITOR OUT AND EXT-IN CONNECTIONS (OXYGEN 3 AND 3 ST) The Oxygen 3‟s Monitor section gives the operator an extensive set of resources. In addition to monitoring the Master and PFL audio buses, provision has been made for monitoring an external audio source. This stereo input (Ext-In) is intended to be connected to microwave, FM or satellite receivers or another studio.
OXYGEN 3 – INPUT MODULE DESCRIPTION ENG 15 OXYGEN 3 – INPUT MODULE DESCRIPTION 15.1 CHANNELS 1 TO 6 A/B SWITCH: The B SEL switch selects the INPUT B socket when depressed and the INPUT A when released. A LED glows green when the INPUT B is selected. Input A is set for Micro level on Channels 1 to 3, for Line level on the Channels 4 and 5 and for Phono level on the Channel 6 if not otherwise indicated.
OXYGEN 3 ST – INPUT MODULE DESCRIPTION ENG 16 OXYGEN 3 ST – INPUT MODULE DESCRIPTION 16.1 CHANNELS 1 TO 6 A/B SWITCH: The B SEL switch selects the INPUT B socket when depressed and the INPUT A when released.

TELEPHONE CHANNELS (OXYGEN 3 and 3 ST) ENG 17 TELEPHONE CHANNELS (OXYGEN 3 and 3 ST) The Telephone module features a built-in telephone hybrid. The module features two gain controls, PFL, Master output, hybrid Hook / Ring controls. It features connections to a regular telephone line (POTS) and to an external standard telephone set (for example for dialling). Automatic line compensation is also featured. The audio sent to the telephone caller is a mix-minus (N-1).
TELEPHONE CHANNELS (OXYGEN 3 and 3 ST) ENG 17.1 ALIGNEMENT OF INPUTS When plugging in a new source start with the fader turned down and the PFL activated. The signal is displayed on the meters on the left hand (PFL) and can be checked in the headphones or in the Monitor loudspeakers. Adjust the channel GAIN control for an average channel meter reading of „0‟ with loud moments lighting „+3‟. Reduce the gain if the signal meter always ranges in the 0 to + 3dB area.
OUTPUT MODULES DESCRIPTION (OXYGEN 3 and 3 ST) ENG 18 OUTPUT MODULES DESCRIPTION (OXYGEN 3 and 3 ST) 18.1 MASTER SECTION OUTPUT 1: it controls the signal level on the output labelled OUTPUT 1 (balanced). OUTPUT 2: it controls the signal level on the output labelled OUTPUT 2 (balanced). BALANCE: it controls the signal balance on the outputs labelled OUTPUT 1-2-3 and FIXED. OUTPUT 3: it controls the signal level on the output output labelled OUTPUT 3 (unbalanced). 18.
OUTPUT MODULES DESCRIPTION (OXYGEN 3 and 3 ST) ENG The core of the monitor section are the two monitor source buttons. The buttons allow one of the audio sources (as well as PFL signal) to be selected for monitoring as the Monitor speaker source.

BLOCK DIAGRAM (OXYGEN 3) ENG 18.4 LED-METERS The Oxygen 3 and Oxygen 3 ST mixers are fitted with VU / PEAK LED meters. VU meters respond to an average signal level, whereas PEAK LED glows when the 0dB threshold is over-passed (it remains „on‟ long enough to provide easy recognition). The VU meters are factory-calibrated and no further user adjustement is allowed. A short cable with a 9 pins subD plug on each end (male and female) comes with the console. It is used to connect the meterbridge to the mixer.
