Page 3: Introduction
Introduction This kit makes it easy to interconnect a Neve 51 Series preamp and equaliser module for rack mounting. It also allows you to connect the inputs, outputs and power supply needed to use the unit, reducing the amount of wiring required to a minimum. The power bus system allows you to connect up to 8 modules, i.e. -

Page 19: Making The Connection Cables
Making the connection cables The PSU ribbon connects the 51/V PSU power supply to the Input interface card. This ribbon also carries the dynamics chain loop when several preamps are connected. Once the components have been positioned in the rack, you need to measure the length required to connect the cards and the power supply, then cut a ribbon to the required length. -

Page 24: Verification
Verification It is good practice to test the interface cards before connecting the modules. Start by testing the power connections before powering up. Use a beeper to check that the supply voltage rails arrive at the correct points. Start with the Input card alone. The 0V should arrive at pin 10 of the CONN3 Molex connector. -
Page 25: Settings And Adjustments
Settings and adjustments To make the following settings, the following conditions must be met. Audio input will be via the LINE input. Set the gain trimmer to 0. Check that the filters, equaliser and Dynamics are not engaged. Apply a sinusoidal signal of frequency 1khz and amplitude 0dBm to the line input of the input module. -
