MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual
MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual 1 1. Introduction Congratulations! By purchasing a Master Stereo Display (MSD) from DK-Audio you have decided to actually "See What You Hear”. We are certain that your Master Stereo Display will prove an invaluable tool in your daily work. If you have any suggestions or points of view for future functions or options, we welcome your comments. Please write to DK-Audio at the address on the rear page of this manual, or call +45 44 85 02 55.
2 MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual 2. The Audio Matrix The Audio Matrix function of the MSD has become the very heart of the unit. Almost all parameter settings originate from the Matrix. The different supported MSD models are configured as follow: MSD-Series MSD200C PT0200C The MSD features a full 32 x 16 Audio Matrix. Depending on the configuration of the actual MSD model the available Inputs and Outputs can be assigned from the Audio Matrix Menu.
MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual 3 3. External Synchronisation and the Sample Rate Converter (SRC) The MSD has been designed to run on a fixed internal sample rate at 48 kHz. However the user can force the MSD to synchronise to any of the available AES-3 Inputs.
4 MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual not recommended to sync to an external sync source lower than 44.1 kHz since this will effect the ballistics of the MSD’s meter functions. When using the MSD with one of the DMU scales (which are true peak scales) it is recommended that the MSD SRC’s used are in Bypass mode. The rea- son is that the SRC under certain situations effects the peak value of the input signal.
MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual 5 4. Hardware The MSD has been designed with the very best technology available today ensuring superb performance, high flexibility and an outstanding audio performance. 4.1 Analogue Audio Inputs The Analogue Input is designed around a 24-bit Analogue-to-Digital converter (ADC) AKM®. This converter, the AK5383, is using AKM’s high performing dual bit S/D conversion type to obtain a dynamic range close to 110 dB.
6 MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual 4.3 Analogue Audio Output 4.5 External Sync Source Input The Analogue Output are designed around the AK4324 24-bit Digital-to-Analogue converter (DAC) from AKM®. This converter of the S/D type, ensures an amazing dynamic range of 115 dB. The analogue outputs are electrically balanced and are able to output a +18 dBm signal level. All supported MSD models are able to use any of the available AES-3 inputs as an External AES-3 Sync Input.
MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual 16 K-words of (16-bit) data memory RAM, and 16 K-words of (24-bit) program memory RAM, on-chip. 4.7 Flash-PROM (Program Storage Media) using a Display Driver design developed by DK-Audio. There are several suppliers of TFT VGA displays with a very high variation in quality. DK-Audio is only using the very best TFT technology available today. These are a bit more expensive than commonly used LCD displays but so much better.
8 MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual 4.9 Hardware ID 4.10 Power Supply All Newer models of the MSD product family have been designed around a single common operation system (OS). To enable this OS to detect which MSD model it is running on, each MSD is equipped with a unique Hardware ID code. All supported MSD models are using an external power supply of the desktop type. This enables the MSD itself to be more compact for easy instalment. The power supply is based on the switch-mode principle.
MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual 9 5. Mounting The supported MSD models are divided into two groups. The PT versions (PT0200C, PT0600C-III and PT0600C-5.1) designed for 19” rack mounting and the free standing MSD models. The PT versions are all equipped with four brass springs mounted on the back of the unit. These springs will fix the MSD in the 19” mounting rack with enough force to ensure a permanent installation.
10 MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual ate alternative, depending upon the material). Place the bracket on top of the base-plate and secure using one of the supplied finger screws with a starwasher. Now fix the MSD to the bracket with the two remaining finger screws. Insert the supplied star-washers between the bracket and cabinet. This allows the MSD to be turned both horizontally and vertically for the best viewing angle.
MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual 6. Audio Connections Breakout Cable The MSD is connected to your audio sources via a standard 25-pole DSUB socket on the rear of the unit. A standard breakout connection cable is available from DK-Audio for each of the three MSD configurations supported. The breakout cables have all the necessary DSUB connectors to XLR (audio in/out) connectors. Diagrams for all available breakout cables are available on our web site www.dk-audio.com.
12 MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual 7. Precautions Please observe the following guidelines for a longer, trouble-free life for your MSD: • • • • Never operate the unit while opened, as the high voltage (600V AC) applied to the LCD background illumination is dangerous If the LCD breaks, and the liquid crystal runs out, keep it well clear of your mouth and eyes.
MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual 13 8. Presets The MSD comes with 11 user configurable presets. 5 of these presets are factory configured on delivery of your MSD. Select the preset closest to your individual use of the MSD. The screen automatically adjusts to the selected number of PPM channels. User’s Manual for details on how to re-assign input (sources) and outputs (destinations).

16 MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual Since the number of available international scales exceeds the seven scales available directly from the MSD, the DK-Scale PC-Software Program has been developed to enable the user to download his own personal scale arrangement from a large library of various international scales. Many of the features found in the PPM section of the MSD is implemented in the DK-Scale program.
