17.2 REAR VIEW 17.3 DESCRIPTION The Oxygen 5 Power Supply (PWS) consists of a power transformer, selectable for 115 VAC or 230 VAC operation, rectifiers, filter capacitors and voltage regulators on a circuit board. The power supply is protected by a replaceable AC mains fuse located in the power entry socket plus internal fuses on the transformer’s secondary outputs and selfprotected current-limiting regulators.
TELCO modules. They are designed to illuminate external Studio and/or Control Room Warning/On Air lights (such as Mr Light by Axel Technology) showing that one or more microphones are ‘on air’. Relays are intended for low voltage electric loads (e.g. 24 V), up to 10 A.
17.6 MAIN AC VOLTAGE SETTINGS Before connecting the Oxygen 5 to mains power, determine the actual mains voltage and confirm that the Oxygen 5 has been configured correctly. As could be expected, an incorrect mains configuration could seriously damage the unit.

METERBRIDGE 18 METERBRIDGE 18.1 DESCRIPTION The Oxygen 5 mixer is fitted with VU / PPM meters. VU meters respond to an average signal level, whereas PPMs respond to peak changes (The PEAK LEDs are activated by the shortest transient peak, but remain ‘on’ long enough to provide easy recognition).
Furthermore, Dj Console’s SLIDER will fade down / up all audio source routed to SUB output (having pressed EXT FADER and SUBtoMASTER buttons on the SUB module). To connect and enable DJ Console on the Oxygen 5 mixing console, please follow these steps:...
