Introduction What are SoundPals? Each RJM & Associates SoundPals module is essentially a digital audio building block that can be used independently, or interconnected to perform more advanced mixing and audio processing functions. SoundPals can be used in both standalone and system configurations: In a “standalone”...
Unpacking and Inspection When you receive your SoundPals modules, inspect the cartons for signs of damage. Contact your dealer and the shipper immediately if you suspect any damage has occurred during shipping. Check the contents of each box to be sure that all parts are included. If any items are missing, contact your dealer immediately.
ADLY-4/B About the ADLY-4/B The RJM & Associates SoundPals ADLY-4/B is an 8 channel (4 AES pairs) audio delay solution which ties the audio delay to video frame delay values. The ADLY-4/B delays all 8 channels up to 99.9 video frames at 24, 25 or 30 frames per second and is adjustable in 0.1 frame steps using three decade switches.

3) X1 Frame Delay Switch — the 10-position rotary X1 Frame Delay Switch allows you to select frame delay in multiples of 1 frame per step. (Note: frame rate is only accurate at 48kHz sample rate.) 4) X.1 Frame Delay Switch — the 10-position rotary X.1 Frame Delay Switch allows you to select frame delay in multiples of 0.1 (10 of a frame) frames per step.
75 ohms. Note that when it is necessary to loop the reference to several SoundPals, the signal must be terminated only once, and always at the last unit in the chain. With the Reference Selection Switch in the up position the internal sample rate is locked to and set by the AES3id signal present on the AES3id Channel 1 input.
Operation This section provides explanations of the rotary frame delay and Ref switches on the front panel of the ADLY-4/B. Using the Video Frame Rate Switch The 3-position Video Frame Rate Switch allows a selection of the delay based on frame rates of 24, 25 and 30 frames per second.
FRAMES - DELAY Using the Reference Selection Switch The 2-position Reference Selection Switch allows for selection of the ADLY-4/B internal sample rate to lock to and be set by the Reference Input BNC’s or AES3id Channel 1 input. With the switch set as shown, in the down position, the ADLY-4/B uses the AES3id signal present on the reference BNC’s.

Troubleshooting The table below lists several ADLY-4/B problems, and provides a variety of “checklist” procedures designed to solve them. Problem Procedure Power LED does not • Ensure wall supply is plugged in properly and power connection is tight, light, no outputs. not loose.
10 – 90% RH non-condensing Humidity Inside the Module In This Section There are no serviceable items inside the SoundPals ADLY-4/B module. Before You Begin Check the following items before opening the module and attempting to remove the internal circuit board: If required, remove the SoundPals module from the rack tray.
Any power supply meeting these specifications will supply adequate power for a single SoundPals module. Although the specification is written for power supplies running from AC line inputs, DC (battery) sources may be used if they meet all of the listed requirements.
Power Supply Sources In addition to the RJM-supplied universal power supply, the following power supplies meet the SoundPals requirements: Company Model Note Stancor STA-4860 120V AC, 60 Hz Stancor STAF-0797F 220V AC, 50 Hz with European wall plug (CE compliant).
