Installation and Power Console Overview The D-76 is a tabletop, modular console available in a 12-channel or 18-channel frame. Sporting a sleek new profile, the new D-76 comes standard with sample rate conversion, ample mic preamps, plenty of stereo busses, and a comprehensive monitor section that provides separate feeds to control room/headphone and studio monitor outputs —...
Note that as supplied from the factory, console rackmount power supply common, audio ground, and the D-76 mainframe are connected together at the console, but are NOT connected to electrical ground and the chassis of the power supply. Safety requirements dictate that a positive connection from the console mainframe to electrical ground be made in the completed installation.
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 – 5 D-76 / Feb 2015...
Rear view of the SPS-100 rackmount power supply The D-76 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. The SPS-100 generates heat in the course of normal operation —...
You may now proceed to wire up audio and control connections. Audio and Control Wiring Audio I/O and control connections to the D-76 console are made via RJ-45 connectors, and 12-pin plug terminal. Digital Audio Connections CABLE –...
Flip the switch to the 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 1-7 and 1-8. page 1 – 9 D-76 / Feb 2015...

B is used. Talkback Typically, one of the D-76 console’s input modules will be used for the control room (CR) console operator’s microphone. The third position of the dipswitch SW1 allows that microphone to also function as a talkback mic. It places the signal (pre-fader, pre-on/off) onto the console’s talkback bus.
