Chapter 1: System 5 Overview This chapter explains the basic elements of any digital audio mixing system and introduces the components of System 5. It concludes with a section explaining how to estimate your system’s requirements. Chapter 2: Interconnecting System Components illustrates how to connect the components, where to locate them, and lists technical information about the components.
Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Overview Inputs System 5 inputs may be mono, stereo, or any format up to 7.1, which means that a single input may use one to eight logical channels. Physical Faders Each CM408T Eight-channel Module contains eight physical faders. Each fader can control two inputs using a Swap button that switches the fader between the Swap and Main inputs.
Digital Sync A high quality digital sync source is required for the System 5 console. Some facilities may already have a digital master clock or house reference in place but others may require one. Euphonix has tested several digital sync generators and distribution amplifiers and can supply...
Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Overview We recommend following these guidelines: • It is important to minimize the timing differences between signal paths to avoid cumulative timing errors. It is good system engineering practice to send sync signals to all system components from one source.

This section helps estimate the system requirements for a particular installation. Contact a Euphonix representative for an exact specification. Use following categories to determine the System 5 components necessary for your studio. Most of the studio details considered here are relevant to any digital mixing system.
Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Overview I/O Specification When considering I/O requirements, count the number of analog and AES/EBU inputs and outputs required to hook up all equipment and auxiliary panels for extra equipment. Do not specify I/O from the console perspective. For example, it is not efficient to specify one an- alog input and one analog output to be used as an insert point for each channel input.

Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Components TT007 The TT007 is an optional rack-mount device that provides machine control for all Eu- phonix consoles. The TT007 allows the console to become the single, centralized machine control hub within any studio. Virtually every machine, in or out of the control room, can be remotely controlled from the console at the press of a button.
Page 71
Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Components The transport controls of the master machine can drive the network but the TT007 is unique in its ability to accept transport commands from additional control surfaces and relay those commands to the master machine. Any controller device in the studio defined as a controller (and on-line) has direct access to the master machine.
