The hinged meterbridge will require 14” above the countertop surface and 4 3/4” behind the rear meterbridge to open freely. Do not connect the D-75 console to its power supply (and do not connect the power supply to the AC power line) until instructed to do 7.6341...
The first step is to ground the console. Note that as supplied from the factory, console rackmount power supply common, audio ground, and the D-75 mainframe are connected together at the console, but are NOT connected to electrical ground and the chassis of the power supply.

10-32 screws and insulating washers between rails and faceplates. Once the system is properly grounded, proceed with the console power supply installation and connection (next section). page 1 – 4 D-75 / Sep 2004 D-75 / Nov 2005...
Rear view of the SPS-100 rackmount power supply The D-75 console is powered by an Audioarts Model SPS-100 rackmount power supply. This unit occupies two 19” wide rack spaces (total height 3-1/2”). Convection cooled, it requires ample ventilation space above and below it.
Audio and Control Wiring All audio and control I/O connections to the D-75 console are made through multipin DB-25 connectors located on the top of each module. The factory supplied hand crimping tool is used for all I/O wiring connections to and from the console (see instruction on the page 1-8).
HIGH to feed your unbalanced equipment.) Modules Layout The D-75 console’s mainframe comes supplied with 20 (for 26 pos. frame) or 12 (for 18 pos. frame) input modules along with an output module, a control room module, and a studio control module. Each module type has its assigned slot (see drawings on pages 1-10 and 1-11).
ON position for a SPDIF input or to the OFF position for an AES input. In addition to using the switch, the input must be wired correctly — see Digital Audio Connections on page 1-6 and 1-7. page 1 – 10 page 1 – 7a D-75 / Sep 2004 D-75 / Apr 2008...
(see next page). Note that metallized plastic hoods for each connector are also supplied with the console. (4) Final step: jaws fully closed; the insulation tabs have been crimped. page 1 – 8 D-75 / Sep 2004...
