R-5 / Jan 97

FACTORY CALIBRATION

Your R-5 console has been pre-calibrated at the factory as follows:
1) Microphone input gain trimpots are adjusted so a –50dBu balanced
input signal yields a –2.5dBu output at the insert out patch point.
2) With the input channel fader set to max (all the way up) and the channel
assigned to PGM, AUD and TEL, output trimpots are then set to yield a
+16dBu output level.
3) The fader is then pulled down to its nominal setting (the two dots on
the scale) and the console's VU meter trimpots adjusted so the meters read
0dB (resulting in +4dBu console output levels.)
These are the standard factory settings.

END-USER SET-UP AND TEST

Assuming you have completed the basic steps called out in the first
chapter of this manual (i.e., mainframe is properly installed and grounded,
power supply is correctly rackmounted and connected to the console,
power-up has been verified) and the audio input, output and control
wiring for the console (as called out in subsequent manual chapters [mono
mic inputs, stereo line inputs, telephone input, outputs, monitors, and
accessories] is complete, you are now ready to verify proper set-up and
operation.
Before proceeding, power up the console, and check the following:
1) Make sure all channel ON/OFF switches are OFF.
2) De-activate all CUE switches.
3) Turn off all ASSIGN switching.
4) Run all FADERS down (off).
5) Turn all monitor pots (CUE, STUDIO, HDPN and CR) down to zero.
6) Set all INPUT A/B source select switches to "A" (unlit).
7) Plug in the console operator's headphone set.

Mono Mic Inputs

First, make sure of the following:
1) Has a microphone been connected to the mono input channel you will
be testing? Is the channel's A/B input select switch set correctly for the
microphone you will be using?
2) If you are using external equipment with the channel's insert patch
points, is that equipment turned on and operational? If you are NOT using
external equipment, is the patch point bridged at the channel's audio
connector? (If NO, then see bottom of page 2-4.)
Assuming the preceding conditions are correct, then
1) ASSIGN the channel to PGM.
2) Press the channel's red ON switch.
3) Move the FADER up to it's nominal setting (indicated by two dots).
4) At the console's monitor SOURCE select switchbank, press PGM.
