INTUITIVE FLEXIBILITY IN SIGNAL INPUT & ROUTINGThe diagram below shows the fullpotential of the system. A pool of inputs is passed through a digital input routerwhich can distribute that signal, via theInput 1/2 selector switch on the physicalinput channel strips, to the input faders.
Once processed, the signal is passedthrough the digital output router atwhich point it can be assigned to one of arange of physical output connectors onthe back of the console. Digital signalinput, output and all internal processingthroughout takes place at 24-bitresolution – if 16 or 20-bit output is
required, dither is applied. On-board sample rate conversion,combined with Word Clock I/O, ensuresthat syncing is never a problem. And withover 100 console-wide presets providinginstant configurability for everyconceivable mixing task, global setup canbe achieved in a matter of seconds.
In the modern, multi-operatorenvironment, the instantreconfigurability offered by digital
console technology is priceless. Withover 100 presets offering instant setupfor every conceivable mixing task,Soundcraft’s RM1d / RM1ds DigitalRadio Consoles are perfect forincreasing efficiency throughout thebroadcast and production studio.
The RM1d is available in frame options:6-fader, 12-fader or 12-fader withscript tray. The RM1ds, also available inthese frame sizes, offers a controlsurface for those more familiar withU.S.-style consoles. The 6-fader consolehas 6 input channels on the left of theconsole and a master section on theright; the 12-fader console has 12 inputchannels on the left of the console anda master section on the right while thefaders on the 12-fader version can besplit with six either side of a recessedscript tray with a master section on theright.
INPUT CHANNEL SECTIONThe RM1d / RM1ds input section offerscontrol of two assignable inputs perchannel. Each input can be derived from adigital or analogue source – the selectionis displayed in the window at the top of the channel strip as shown.
EQ, PAN & AUX CONTROLS3-band EQ is provided on every inputchannel, as well comprehensive dynamicsincluding compression, limiting andgating. All controls in this sectionautomatically change to display settingsfor the channel currently being edited –their current setting is indicated by illuminated green LEDs which surroundeach rotary control.
MASTER SECTIONThe RM1d / RM1ds master sectionhouses the LCD display. From here, amenu driven system is navigated withthe arrowed cursor keys, makingoperation very fast and intuitive.Beneath this are the master faders; on-air users may prefer to disable themwith an internal menu option. An on-board Lexicon multi-effects processorprovides a wide range of effectsincluding reverb, chorus and delay. Any mic can be configured as thepresenter’s talkback microphonesource – and routed to theindividual headphone outputs forstudio and guest. Monitoringsources for the studio and controlroom are independently selectablebetween the four external stereoinputs, the two auxiliary busses,and the two main stereo outputs,STE 1 and STE 2 (labelled PROGand AUD on the RM1ds).

Extending Soundcraft’s highlysuccessful range of analogueradio consoles, the Series15 is a
fully modular mixer designed for on-airand broadcast production use withinlocal radio stations and smaller studiosof national broadcasters. The Series15is the most comprehensively equippedconsole in Soundcraft’s analogue range,offering features such as four stereogroups, insert points and highly flexiblemonitoring capabilities.
The Series15 is available as a broadcastversion, or as a production versionwhich has four stereo groups, in framesizes of 16, 24 or 32 modules. Inaddition to the Master and Monitormodules which are included asstandard on both variants of theconsole, there is a choice of Dual Mic,Stereo Line and Mono or Stereo Telcoinput modules, as well as a Source Select
module. The fact that all Series15modules - input and output - areavailable in broadcast or productionversions, together with further options
such as EQ and limiting, means that thetotal number of module variants offeredfor the Series15 is an incredible 18. Eachmodule is shown on the following spread.

Typical Series 15 Console Layouts
NOTESA typical Series 15 Production Console will offer 4 sub-groups and a master module, which reduces by 8 the number of input channels from the specified frame size.
A typical Series 15 On-Air Console requires a master module which reduces by 4 the number of input channels from the specified frame size. An optional script traywill reduce this number by a further 8 input channels.
The colours on these diagrams representing the different module positions correspond to the coloured strips above the modules overleaf.

DUAL MIC INPUT MODULEThe Series15’s Dual Mic Module is availablein four variants; broadcast or production,and with or without EQ. There are two micinputs on each channel with a push-button selecting the second signal.Phantom power is set via an internaljumper, while input sensitivity is adjustedby recessed presets at the top of the panel.Signal level is controlled via the 100mmVCA fader, with Pan control and Groupbuttons (Group buttons on productionversions only) positioning the signal in thestereo mix. Cue light signalling can becontrolled by the master fader when FDR isselected, and a warning LED shows whenthe fader is open. An auxiliary send routesthe signal to the mono aux bus, withbalanced insert points (pre EQ) selectablevia an internal PCB switch. The optional 3-band EQ delivers ±10dB gain at 180Hz,3kHz and 10kHz, with a high pass filteralso provided even if EQ is not specified.
STEREO MODULEThere are three variants of the StereoModule; broadcast or production withoutEQ, and production with EQ. The StereoModule has connections for two stereo lineinputs; Line 1 has adjustable inputsensitivity, while Line 2 is fixed at 0dBgain. Line 2 is selectable from the frontpanel. Remote Start and Stop functionsmay be controlled by the fader when FDRis selected, with these buttons lighting todisplay remote status. The Fader Open LEDlights whenever a fader moves from itsback stop. EQ, where specified, offers thesame specifications as on the Dual MicModule.
MONO OR STEREO TELCO MODULESBoth the Mono and Stereo Telco Modulesallow connection to a telephone hybrid,enabling live connection of telephonecallers on-air. The Stereo Telco Module’sfeatures are similar to those of the Stereo
Module - it is available in the same threevariants - but it has a stereo clean feedoutput instead of insert sends, enablingsignals to be relayed to a remote studio viaISDN lines. When PFL is selected, theconsole’s talkback is routed to the cleanfeed, allowing a two way conversation totake place. The Mono Telco Module -complete with EQ in either broadcast orproduction variants - has a mono lineinput and clean feed output, with levelsadjustable via recessed presets. The PFLswitch routes the talkback to the cleanfeed as on the Stereo Telco Module and,when PFL is cancelled, a Hold buttonlatches the telephone hybrid when waitingto put the caller on air. External talkbackinputs are also provided.
STEREO GROUP OUTPUT MODULEThe Stereo Group Module has outputs viabalanced XLR and unbalanced D-typeconnectors. Each stereo group can be

routed to the main stereo mix using thePGM switch, or can be summed to mono.The PFL switch routes the group output(pre-fade) to the PFL bus; this can beprogrammed to cancel on the opening ofthe fader. An optional limiter section hascontrols for threshold and release time,with gain reduction displayed via LEDs.
STEREO MASTER MODULEThe Series15 has three main outputs -stereo and mono programme and monoauxiliary; the Master Module offers globalcontrol over master levels for these busses.The production version of this module hasa 100mm VCA fader to control stereooutput, while the broadcast version has nomaster fader, thereby avoiding accidentalor inadvertent ducking duringtransmission or layoff. The aux signal maybe routed to the PFL bus via the AFLswitch, with +10dB of gain flexibilityprovided by the Aux Master control.
MONITOR MODULEThe Monitor Module is essentially threemodules in one. On the left are themonitoring controls for the ControlRoom, Presenter’s headphones and thefirst Guest headphone output, and onthe right is an identical set of controls,this time applying to the Studiomonitors, Studio headphones and thesecond Guest Headphone output. Eachset offers a choice of PGM, AUX or EXT,with the EXT then being selected furtherup the module between the four stereoexternal inputs and the four subgroups(when they are installed on theproduction version of the console). WhenAuto PFL is pressed on either side, the PFLsignal will be monitored. Dim and Mutebuttons are provided for the ControlRoom side, with a T/B switch and mic onthe Studio side for communicating to theStudio headphones and monitors as wellas dimming the control room monitors.
The meter output is sourced from the Meter Selector switches which arelocated in the centre of the console -either EXT, AUX, PGM, or pre fade if anyPFL is selected.
OPTIONS• A recessed script tray or blank panel
can be installed.• Meterbridge options include: single
or twin mono VU or PPM meters(large or small), custom bargraphpanel, cue loudspeaker, and dualdigital timer.
• Faders can be specified as eithercarbon or conductive plastic.
• The Master Module is available withor without master faders.
• The console is powered by an externalCPS275 power supply which can beoptionally rackmounted, and linked toan additional CPS275 for redundancyif required.

With the relentless expansion ofBroadcasting in all parts of theworld, we have recognised the
market’s need for a new, more cost-effective, small format audio consolewhich is not only well-featured, but alsoable to deliver the performance and buildquality expected by today’s Broadcastprofessionals.
The BB100 is a versatile member of ourrange of professional audio mixingconsoles with a flexible design aimedprimarily at broadcasters, yet suitable foruse in many other applications.
FEATURES:• Up to 32 channels can be fitted• Up to 8 subgroups can be fitted• 8 Aux sends, Aux 1-2 can be configured
as stereo
• Up to 5 Stereo FX returns (depending onthe number of subgroups fitted)
• Mono channels have 4 band EQ, Stereochannels have 3 band EQ. Both haveswept mids with adjustable Q and In/Outswitch
• LED indication on all important switches• Major inputs and outputs are balanced• Stereo PFL/AFL bus• Many internal jumper links for user
configuration• Line up oscillator with 3 frequencies• Metering uses 28 segment led meters
and moving coil meters
FEATURES USEFUL TO BROADCASTERS:• Up to 4 Cleanfeed Outputs with talkback.
These outputs can be changed (using
internal jumpers) to an output matrix fedfrom the groups and main output
• Fader Starts and External Mutes• “Soft” Mute circuits • Stereo channels have M-S (Sum and
Difference) Switches• Control Room Monitor with external
inputs and outputs for Main andNearfield speakers. One of the sourceshas a 4 input sub mixer for returns fromvideo machines
• Direct Outputs on all mono inputchannels
• Channel Meters reading the prefadesignal
• Studio Monitor with talkback. Thisoutput is automatically muted by the OnAir switch or when a channel fader isopen and that channel is selected to“Mic”
• Conductive plastic faders • The On-Air Switch also inhibits line-up
tone and oscillator signals and providesan output which can be used to operatean external On-Air lamp. The On-Airfunction can also be activated fromoutside the console

Finding the right console for demanding broadcastapplications has never been easy. The variedrequirements of live TV broadcast, production and OB
installations means that only highly customised versions ofexisting mixers have been suitable, especially where space isat a premium.
Soundcraft changes all this with the B400 and B800, specialisedyet highly flexible modular broadcast consoles enabling theuser to configure a powerful, compact mixing solution thatprecisely meets their needs.
To obtain further information on any of these consoles, pleasecontact Soundcraft for a brochure, or visit the website.
Based on the B800, the B400 delivers a level of configurabilityunrivalled in its class. Input frames can comprise anycombination of Mono, Stereo and Stereo Telco modules. 8 Monoor 4 Stereo Groups can be specified while the individual Monitor,Communications and Stereo Master Modules, fitted to the B400as standard, offer a range of facilities to satisfy the mostdemanding engineer. Yet despite its specification, the B400provides a budget-friendly solution for facilities of all sizes.
Extensive configuration options available within modules meanthat the features and flexibility you would previously haveexpected only on a customised desk are available within theB800’s compact frame. In terms of audio routing, remote controland signalling facilities, the B800 sets a new standard forversatility, and compact,ergonomic efficiency.
Five frame sizes areavailable, accepting upto 48 inputs. The deskcan be configuredwith 8 mono or 4stereo groups,
and there are two fully independent stereo master outputmodules. 6 mono and 2 stereo aux sends are provided. Extensivemonitoring and cue facilities include stereo AFL/PFL, and severalsets of speaker and phones outputs. There are 4 VCA groups foradditional level control.
