The C100 HDS console is fitted with two analogue moving-coil VU meters. Inputs are line level, balanced.
The analogue inputs to the meters are accessed via a 25-pin D-type male connector.
•
• Two circuits should be allocated on an I/O unit and wired to the input connector using balanced cable.

The space above the VU meters in the master section can be fitted with an LCD user meter. Two meter types are available
to order: The DK Technologies MSD600M++ Audio Analyser or the RTW TM7 Touchscreen SurroundMonitor. Both
meters include loudness monitoring as standard.
The MSD600M meter is equipped with 8 digital inputs (4 AES/EBU pairs)* plus a port for serial diagnostics.
The RTW TM7 is equipped with 8 digital inputs (4 AES/EBU pairs with loop-through outputs), 8 analogue inputs plus a
remote-control port. Note that the Left and Right analogue input channels also feed the left and right VU meters.
• The phasescope analogue (and VU meter) inputs are accessed via the 25-pin D-type male connector.
• The phasescope digital inputs are accessed via the 25-pin D-type female connector.
• Cable connections to the meters and multichannel monitor will need to be run between an I/O unit and the
console – both balanced analogue and 110R digital cables may need to be installed depending on the chosen
signals being monitored.
• The signals used to feed the meters could be paralleled from the console main output busses or independent
feeds from the appropriate output card. Cabling should be installed and terminated prior to commencement of
the console commissioning.
The D25 female for digital inputs and the D9 female diagnostics connectors are only fitted if a multichannel meter has been
specified. The D25 male connector for analogue inputs is always fitted as it is used to feed the standard VU meters.
* The MSD600M has slots at its rear into which a range of input and output interface cards can be fitted. Cards are available
in different combinations of analogue and digital I/O so some customisation is possible – please discuss individual requirements
with SSL's Project Engineering Department prior to order. Note that some combinations of I/O cannot be accommodated due
to limited connector availability.

The C100 HDS console contains an in-built talkback microphone and amplifier. The microphone is located next to the
main monitor level pot on the centre-control tile. The output is balanced and at line level (approximately 0dB) and the
circuit features an inbuilt compressor. See following page for TB gain adjustment information.
• The TB output signal is provided on an XLR 3-pin male connector fitted to the console connector panel.
• Install a single balanced audio cable between the Talkback Output XLR and the facility's comms system and/or an
analogue input circuit on an I/O unit (RIO or Alpha-Link LIVE). The input circuit number chosen can then be
assigned as the talkback source via the console touchscreen.
