  • Page 4 Frame The BCS50 mixer is a modular system existing of a frame, a master module and free to choose input-modules. The frame can contain up to 16 input modules and a master module. The power-supply is built into the frame.
  • Page 5 PGM-buss. The PGM-signal is available on three XLR- connectors: mono, left and right. All these outputs are electronically balanced. Besides these outputs the BCS50 has three unbalanced PGM-outputs on 6.3mm stereo jacks (PGM1/PGM2/PGM3). These connectors can be used link to other equipment located inside the studio, like amplifiers etc.

  • Page 22 DATEQ BCS50 user manual BCS53 telephone modules BCS53 Telephone modules An analogue subscriber line can be directly connected to a BCS53 module. This module has a built-in analogue hybrid. When more than two BCS53 modules are on air simultaneously the program-signal will get coloured. It is possible to have more than two lines off-hook when they are not on-air.
  • Page 23 BCS53 telephone modules DATEQ BCS50 user manual To a BCS53T module an external digital (Telos) hybrid can be connected. A digital hybrid has a superior trans-hybrid loss than an analogue hybrid. The advantages are a better sound- quality and the fact that more than two lines can be active at the same time. The exact amount of possible active lines depend on the quality of the subscriber lines and the trans- hybrid loss per module.

  • Page 30 METER The VU-meter has the possibility to monitor the PGM signal, but it is also possible to monitor the C.R. signal. All available signals in the BCS50 can be monitored. This makes it possible to monitor the PFL signal of a channel so that the gain-setting can be tuned (0dB is the nominal level).

The range of this transmitter is approximately 1000 miles. Besides extreme accuracy, the BCS121 keeps track of daylight-saving-time etc. Unique is the infra-red remote control for selecting operation mode and entering time.
