Quick Reference Guide
Chapter 9: Setting Up The System
This chapter shows you how to set up a live audio system to its default configuration.
Note: If you want to set up the system using a configuration other than the default,
please contact Midas Technical Support for details.
Initial set-up procedure
Initial system set-up basically comprises:
• Unpacking and checking the equipment — see “Unpacking the equipment” on
page 71.
• Making up a rack — see “Making up a rack” on page 71.
• Connecting up the equipment — see “Wiring instructions” on page 71.
• Powering the equipment — see “Powering the system” on page 73.
• Initial patching — see “Setting up the I/O rack devices” on page 39. It is
important to set up the type of snakes connected in the system.
• Configuring the rack unit(s) — see “Setting up the ID of the unit(s)” on page 75.
Unpacking the equipment
After carefully unpacking the equipment, save all packing materials, as they will prove
useful should it become necessary to transport the equipment later.
Inspect the equipment carefully for any sign of damage incurred during transportation.
It has undergone stringent quality control inspection and tests prior to packing and was
in perfect condition when it left the factory. However, if the equipment shows any signs
of damage, notify the transportation company without delay. Only you, the consignee,
may institute a claim against the carrier for damage during transportation.
Making up a rack
In the standard supply, the rack supplied with the your system is fully fitted with the
DL371 Audio System Engine unit and the I/O unit(s) appropriate for your system.
Wiring instructions
Important:
The control centre and all of the DLnn1 units have Volex locking type plugs
fitted on their supplied mains cables, which plug into their mains IEC
connectors. When fitted properly the Volex plug locks into place, preventing it
working loose, or being inadvertently knocked loose or pulled out. For details
of how to fit/remove a Volex plug, see “Power” on page xvii.
Basically, to connect the system equipment together all you have to do is to connect
the control centre to the DL371 Audio System Engine using the Cat 5e or fibre optic
snake; the racks units should already be connected together when you receive them.
