  • Page 2 Ventilation holes should not be covered or blocked for any reason. To avoid overheating, 5059 units should not be stacked immediately above or adjacent to other equipment that get hot, and one rack space above the unit should be left open for heat ventilation.
  • Page 3: Block Diagram

    Clean only with a dry cloth. Don’t be tempted to operate a 5059 unit with the cover removed. The cover provides magnetic screening from hum and R.F. stray fields, and also helps to direct heat away from the circuit boards.

    In addition to standard level and pan controls, the 5059 also incorporates channel inserts, separate stereo busses, and silk / texture controls for each stereo buss, creating new ways to utilize the 5059. While there is no “right” way to connect the 5059, here are a few suggestions to get started: With one 5059 unit, there are several different approaches to connecting the 5059 to speakers and final 2-track destination.

  • Page 6 The third examples shows the 5059 used to create “stems” that feed into a 5088 or any other mixer (the two stems can also be brought back into a DAW if necessary as well). In this case, the two stereo outputs create two separate subgroups with the intention of summing them back together at a later stage.

    To do this, create a tone generator in the DAW and assign it channel 1 with the output level at 0dB. Make sure SILK is off, and the stereo output gain on the 5059 is set to 0dB. Patch the stereo output to the 2-track destination (the device that is going to capture the mixed stereo signal).

If this rear panel switch is not pressed then the 5059 is maximally “green” and exhibits its absolute lowest noise floor. However, for any of the previously described features and fun controls to have any significance, the POWER switch should be pressed.
