Page 4: Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information Please note and retain this information. Carefully read and follow all of the safety and oper- ating instructions before you use the machine. Be doubly careful to follow all warnings and special safety instructions noted in this manual and on the unit. This manual provides all information needed to fit or exchange RackPack modules. -
Page 5: Symbols And Notes
Important Safety Information Repairs: Unplug the machine and immediately contact a qualified technician when you think repairs are needed – or when moisture or foreign objects may accidentally have gotten in to the housing, or in cases when the machine may have fallen and shows any sign of having been damaged. This also applies to any situation in which the machine has not been subjected to any of these unusual circumstances but still is not functioning normally or its performance is substantially altered. In cases of damage to the power cord or its plug, first consider turning off the main circuit breaker before unplugging the power cord. Spare Parts: Be sure that any service technician uses original spare parts or those with iden- tical specifications as the originals. Incorrectly substituted parts can lead to fire, electrical shock, or other dangers, including further equipment damage. Safety Inspection: Be sure always to ask a service technician to conduct a thorough safety check and ensure that the state of the repaired machine is in all respects up to factory standards. Cleaning: In cleaning, do NOT use any solvents, as these can damage the chassis finish. Use a clean, dry cloth (if necessary, with an acid-free cleaning oil). Disconnect the machine from your power source before cleaning. Warnings DO NOT PLACE THE MACHINE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT MIGHT COME INTO CONTACT WITH OR ... -
Page 6: Introduction
Introduction RackPack The RackPack system allows you to set up a very compact, customized analog rack on only 3 U rack space – equipped with both approved and new SPL specialties providing you one-of- a-kind processing, highly effective handling and superior audio quality. RackPack Modules The Transient Designer opens a new dimension in dynamic processing with its unique level-independent signal processing. Imitated especially by several software applications, the original Transient Designer remains the state-of-the-art transient modeler. The DynaMaxx compressor is incomparably musical and easy to handle. Thanks to its signal- dependent automation it is the perfect “set’n’forget” compressor for demanding studio and live applications. Just as efficient and advanced in quality is SPL’s DeEsser. It has been the first device of its kind to use phase cancellation as a means to reduce sibilants. Much more unobtrusive than the common frequency-based compression, the SPL DeEsser has proven it’s technological prominence all over the world. -
Page 7: Scope Of Delivery
Scope Of Delivery • The RackPack frame including all blind panels and the front panel (if modules are not fit- ted already). Please note that all modules are shipped without the aluminum front panel. You need it when you fit a module into the frame. Therefore make sure that you handle the aluminum front panels with the same care and prudence as any other unit surface. All screws holding front and rear blind and front panels are needed for the fitting of modules. ... -
Page 8: Power Connection
Hook Up Air Circulation Always ensure sufficient air circulation in any installation or setup: always keep a distance of about 4-5 cm (1 U rack space or about 2 inches) to the next device. This concerns especially the space above and below the device because louvers are cut into top and bottom panels for optimal heat removal. For free placement outside of a rack please always use a level and stable surface. Never place it on a soft surface such as a blanket or a cushion etc. If the RackPack is mounted into a rack, do not place units below the RackPack that produce excessive heat. -

Fitting Modules Step 1 Please Note Fitting and/or exchanging modules should only be done by qualified persons. In the light of possible physical damage or injuries any manipulation is at your own risk. SPL is not lia- ble for any physical damage or injury. Before opening the device please read all security advices (pages 4 and 5) and the “Hook Up”... -
Page 11: Step 2 And 3
Step 2 and 3 Step 2 (Rear View) Unscrew the two Phillips screws holding the cover panel of slot #3 on the rear. Remove the cover panel. As long as slot #3 is fitted with a module, the cover will not be needed anymore. You may want to store it for future use. Step 3 (Front View) Unscrew the two Allen screws (socket screws) of slot #3 on the front of the RackPack frame with the Allen key and remove the silver decoration panel as well as the blank black panel. Keep the decoration panel and handle it with care, it is needed for the new module. You will not need the black cover anymore as long as slot #3 is fitted with a module. You may want to store it for future use. RackPack Fitting Modules... -

Fitting Modules Step 4 and 5 Step 4 (Top View) Insert the new module into the slot from the front side of the RackPack. Fix the back of the new module with the four Phillips screws to the rear of the frame (two of the Phillips screws needed here came with the new module, two further screws remained from unscrewing the rear cover panel, see step 2). Now tighten the two M4 socket screws. Put them through the holes on the top and bottom of the aluminum panel first, then through the top and bottom holes of the front of the module. Fix the panel and the front of the module by tightening the M4 screws into the threads of the housing (see step 3). Step 5 Finally plug the multi-pin connector of the ribbon cable that corresponds to the module’s slot into the multi-pin socket of the new module. Make sure that the connection is safe and tight by plugging the connector completely into the socket. IMPORTANT: Only pull or push the connector, never the cable! Otherwise you risk damaging the cable. Subsequent damages can affect one or more modules! RackPack... -
Page 13: Link Cable Installation
Fitting Modules Link Cable Installation Link Cable Installation (Top View) Two modules supporting the LINK feature (i. e. Transient Designer & DynaMaxx) can be run as stereo pairs. In LINK mode, the master module controls the slave module and allows a coherent processing of stereo programs over both channels. Besides coherent stereo oper- ations the LINK mode offers further interesting applications, please refer to the individual manuals of the modules for further details. - Page 14 External Power Supply The external power supply offers fundamental advantages over internal power supplies: Properly installed, transformer hum and interference should never be an issue and the unit should deliver clean, clear audio. In addition to that, internal circuitry is free from AC power which could negatively influence especially sensitive modules such as preamps. The 100 VA transformer is generously proportioned to ensure plenty of power in any situation and proper current for the various circuits. Entirely new circuit designs were developed to process the various direct currents. The +/- 18 V current, for example, utilizes a discrete voltage regulator with barely measurable noise. High-speed rectifier diodes and large capacities ensure sufficient current to process even the most powerful impulses. In addition, most currents are stabilized using 400 V/100 nF MKP foil condensers to ensure plenty of current for fast transients. 48 V phantom power is also processed using discrete, low-noise voltage regulators and fed directly to the microphone conductors through two resistors. Placement Of The External Power Supply Do not place the RackPack on top of the external power supply or the power supply on top of the RackPack.
