serge newbie questions

2008-01-15 by Bakis Sirros

hello list,
i received a 4 panel system (with a psu and two distro
boards plus two cables that i connect to psu to give
power to the two distroboards) and i want to ask some
things regaridng connection of the panelts to the psu
distro boards:

the distro boards have 6 connectors each. i connect
the cable coming from the psu to any of these 6
connectors and i connected the panels to be powered to
the rest of the 6 connectors of the distroboard?

also, two panels have two or even three power cable
coming from their back (instead of one). why is this?
do i connect all 3 or 2 wires of the same panel to the
same distro board, or should i connect to different
distro boards?

also the psu i received, has 4 "xlr-srtyle" type
connectors on its front. is that a ps6?

waiting for a reply before i connect anything...

thank you in advance!
best regards, :-)
Bakis.

Some voice boards and boards with oscillators require additional power
(hence the additional connector). If you have a TKB Quantizer module
, then there is an additional buss cable that connects the quantizer
to the TKB and directly quantizes the outputs of the 4 rows of
voltages. This connector is larger than the standard power connectors.

The power is just bussed on the distro board, so you can connect the source
and destination anywhere. Ideally, just in case of small loss on the board,
you would put the source towards the middle.

Some panels require additional power connections. I believe the concern
from Rex is more about the integrity of the power and ground signals than
the current capability of the wires.

My PS4 has just one XLR cable from the box, so yours must be a PS6 or
larger.
