  • Page 6: Introduction

    Introduction The High Voltage Console Shortly after the turn of the millennium, SPL laid down new foundations for the improvement of analog audio signal processing. Thanks to new components, circuitries and manufacturing methods, we were able to increase the operating voltage enormously. Up to then, average operating voltage ranged form 30 to 36 volts (+/- 15 or 18 volts, considering that voltage supply is symmetrical).

  • Page 7: Concept

    Introduction Concept • 24 channel summing console with faders and panorama controls • Ideal for DAW-based studios with emphasis on audio quality. . Features • Input path with 100-mm ALPS faders, Pan controls, Mono, Cut, Solo, and “To Monitor Only” push buttons, signal LEDs •...

  • Page 8: Important Security Advices

    Important Security Advices Please note and retain this manual. Carefully read and follow all of the safety and operating 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. Connections: Only use the connections as described.

  • Page 9: Placement

    Hook Up Placement Place the unit on a level and stable surface or mount it into dedicated rack frames. The unit’s enclosure is EMC-safe and effectively shielded against HF interference. Nonetheless, you should carefully consider where you place the unit to avoid electrical disturbances. It should be positioned so that you can easily reach it, but there are other considerations.

  • Page 10: Power Connection

    Hook Up Power Connection EXTERNAL CONNECT The Neos is fed through the external power supply. Before connecting the power supply always make sure that the position of the voltage selector on the back of the RackPack corre- sponds to the voltage of your local power supply (115V position: 110-120V, 230 V position: 220-240V).

  • Page 11: Gnd Lift

    Rear Panel – Switches & Connections, Basics GND Lift The rear panel GND LIFT switch eliminates hum by separating the internal ground from the unit’s housing ground. Hum can, for example, result when this unit’s housing has a common ground connection with other devices that might have a different ground potential. The switch is usually deactivated to retain the shielding of the housing.

    Neos with each other. The connector is based on a special 5-pin XLR format. IMPORTANT: the interconnection of Neos consoles can only be established via a custom- made cable manufactured by SPL under request. When two or more Neos are interconnected, the stereo output signal is summed, so instead of summing 24-in-2 channels you have 48 (or more) channels summed into one stereo signal.

    Rear Panel Outputs Tape Rt. (Tape Return) TAPE The Tape Return function allows you to bring back the recorded signal to the Neos in order to listen to it. Connect to the Tape Rt. input the output signal of the DA converter or tape machine. The maximum level these balanced inputs can handle is ›...

  • Page 17: Pan

    Control Elements Input Path Use the Pan control to place the signal in the stereo field of the sum signal. Both mono and stereo signals can be placed continuously in the stereo field anywhere from hard left (L) to center (C) and hard right (R). Use the Cut push button to mute the input signal of the corresponding channel.

  • Page 18: Control Elements Master Path

    The calibration is made with a sound level meter (or SPL meter; in this case SPL stands for Sound Pressure Level). The SPL meter can also be used to measure headphones when placed between the cups.

  • Page 19: Dim

    Control Elements Master Path MUTE Dim reduces 20 dB the listening volume of both monitor outputs. This setting can be used, for example, to compare the same mix at two different listening levels without having to modify the Volume control. 20 dB is a value which has been accepted in the industry as a standard.

  • Page 20: Daw-Integration

    DAW-Integration Integration Examples and Channel Assignment A common way to feed the 24 channels of the Neos would be to use three eight-channel D/A converters. As a rule, one converter is defined as the main converter and the two others are connected in chain.

    Mounting Angles Zero and ten degree The Neos comes with 19” rack-mounting side brackets. As you can see here, the holes on the side of the housing allow for two rack-mounting positions (0 and 10 degrees). The bracket holes have been designed in order to allow for an easy flush mounting in vertical or horizontal racks.
