Soft Lock .......................................................... 6 CM Labs reserves the right to make improvements or changes at any time to the products described in this manual.
Installation & Quickstart Audio Interconnect. Quick Start. The SixtyFour has 8 DB25 female connectors on the rear panel for all the audio inputs (sources) and outputs (destinations). Each DB25 connector carries 8 balanced audio inputs or outputs. Connect your audio devices to the SixtyFour by 2 methods. 1.) Power on the SixtyFour. Both the “SAVE” and “ROUTE” LED’s will blink in unison to show that it is “Soft Locked”. 2.) Press the SAVE and ROUTE switches together to turn soft lock off. 3.
Installation & Quickstart Audio Block Diagram. Source Switch Field. The diagram below shows how audio signals are dealt with inside the SixtyFour. Each input channel (source) has a switch to select it. Only one source can be activated at one time. When working with STEREO sources you will select sources as pairs. When a yellow source LED is lit, it indicates a selected source. The audio inputs are buffered and sent both into a level control element and a meter input.
Operations “Soft Lock”. The SixtyFour powers on with “Soft Lock” on. The two yellow LED’s above “Lock” & “Save” will be flashing indicating the unit is “Soft Locked”. The SixtyFour also has several other lock features that are described in the Utility portion of this manual. Operations available while “Soft Lock” is engaged. 1. Pushing a source or destination switch will show routing already assigned. 2. You can see source levels or destination levels and stereo balance settings.
Operations -30 -25 -20 -15 -10 -5 -2 0 +2 +5 +10 + Level Mode. Audio levels can be addressed for both source and destination. Source level changes affect all destinations routed to that source. Destination level changes only affect the destination (specific). You can change the level on only one source or one destination at a time. You can undo any level changes at any time before saving. Simply press the encoder knob to revert to the previously saved setting. Source Levels. 1.
Operations B. Stereo Pairs. Shows as STE in the numeric display. Factory default is no stereo pairs assigned. TWO WARNINGS! 1.) Only adjacent Sources and Destinations can be assigned as stereo pairs. You can assign #1 & #2 as a stereo pair, but you cannot assign #1 & #3 as a stereo pair. Additionally, Sources or Destinations 16 and 17 cannot be assigned together as stereo pairs. 2.) When routing, stereo Sources can only be assigned to stereo Destinations. Stereo Sources.
Operations C. Master/Slave. Shows as either NST or SLV in numeric display. Simply turn the rotary control knob until the desired choice appears in the numeric display. Since several SixtyFour’s can be joined together to form a large system, the first unit in the chain must be master and all following units must be slave. Be aware that all setup procedures such as assigning, routing or stereo pairs must still be executed on each unit in the chain.
Multi Unit Control. RS-232 to Master configuration. MIDI to Master configuration. The connection diagram below shows how to connect multiple units together using an RS-232 port to drive the Master unit. Note that the last unit in the chain has its MIDI out connected to the master unit MIDI in. The connection diagram below shows how to connect multiple units together using a MIDI port to drive the Master unit. Note that the last unit in the chain has its MIDI out connected to the Host Computer MIDI in.
Specifications Meter Range: -30 dB to +20 dB with 12 Meter LED’s at -30, -25, -20, -15, -IO, -5, -2, 0, +2, +5, +10, +20. Calibration Mode shows input levels with +/- 1/4 dB accuracy around 0 dB. Meter sensitivity can be set at either +4 dBv or -10 dBu. Program Memory: Inputs: Electronically balanced with >40 dB common mode rejection. 40 kOhm input impedance. Outputs: Electronically balanced with 200 ohm output impedance. All outputs are “Phantom” power protected.
Creating Labels Label strip creation and installation. GPI Input Tools Needed 1.) Xacto Knife. 2.) Microsoft Excel(tm) or compatible spread sheet program. 3.) Laser or Ink-jet printer. 4.) Glue stick. To use the rear panel GPI input, connect 2 wires to the GPI connector that was supplied with your SixtyFour. At the other end of the 2 wires, connect either a momentary or latching switch. Plug the connector end into the GPI input on the rear panel of the SixtyFour. Label creation 1.
