Pro-audio documentation (mostly SSL pinouts)
Updated: 13 December 09: New menu created for the tech people!
I've noticed that there is not much documentation relating to console pinouts on the Internet so, I'm going to provide some here along with various wiring details for other equipment. I intend to produce pictorial wiring installation views of connectors as opposed to just lists of pinouts so, I hope these will prove useful to wiring and tech people.
I am also thinking about providing some helpful advice for those people who have bought an older Solid State Logic console and may want to know various wiring details as well as some of the history associated with the building of these fine beasts! This also applies to a growing number of studio people who want to buy a few channels to use as an anolog front end system before heading into digital land.
So far, I have documentation on Solid State Logic 4, 6K and Axiom consoles plus Neve VR, Soundtracs and Soundcraft along with some outboard equipment (ie Roland SDE3000 manual).
Details coming soon when I can find and scan them and present them in a readable way. Watch this space and if anyone wants to give me a mention on the Gearslulz website, thanks dudes!
The intial information shown will probably be the SSL pinouts for DL 31, 32 and 33 (centre section stuff) plus DL 01 and 02 (mics) along with DL 21, 22, 11 and 12 (multitrack). Also included will be the pinouts for the 6 way channel buscard Bicc connectors along with the power and SMPTE leads.
Later on, I hope to add the SSL patchbay and MRAC wiring details.
As I was involved in all the Focusrite consoles (both versions) ever made, I may also provide some documentation for these as well.
