Page 8: General Precautions
TION The 1605/1603 is ruggedly constructed with the highest quality components. As such, it should provide years of trouble free use with normal care. All parts used are conservatively rated for their application, and workmanship meets UREI by Soundcraft’s rigid standards. -
Page 9: Initial Wiring Considerations
INITIAL WIRING CONSIDERATIONS For optimum performance, it is essential for the earthing system to be clean and noise free, as all signals are referenced to this earth. A central point should be decided on for the main earth point system, and all earths should be 'star fed' from this point. It is common electrical practice to `daisy chain' the earths to all electrical outlets but this method is unsuitable for audio installations. -
Page 10: Points To Remember
POINTS TO REMEMBER When using balanced connections use good quality twin screened audio cable. Check for instability at the output. Always connect both conductors at both ends, and ensure that the screen is only connected at one end. Do not disconnect the mains earth from each piece of equipment. This is needed to provide both safety and screen returns to the system star point. -
Page 11: Inspection And Installation
2mm Allen key ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS The 1605/1603 Mixer will operate satisfactorily over a range of ambient temperatures from 0 C to +50C (+32F to +122F), and up to 80% non-condensing relative humidity. If the system is installed in an equipment rack, console or desk with high heat producing equipment (such as power amplifiers), adequate ventilation should be provided in order to assure longest component life. -

Pull off all the pot knobs. Undo the 9 (for 1605) or 8 (for 1603) retaining Allen screws using a 2mm Allen key. The fascia can now be lifted clear of the subframe underneath. Take care not to bend the panel. - Page 13 Undo the 7 (1605) or 6 (1603) Allen screws using a 2mm Allen key. The fader panel can now be lifted clear of the subframe underneath. Take care not to bend the panel. Replacing The Channel Faders Using a 2mm Allen key undo and remove the 2 screws which secure the fader to the fader panel. Unplug the 8-pin connector, appying slight lateral force to the plug from side to side as you pull the plug from the socket.

Page 14: Moving The Rear Connector Panel
MOVING THE REAR CONNECTOR PANEL It is possible to move the rear connector panel from its factory default position to its alternative location underneath the console. This alternative position can make it easier to rack or furniture-mount the console. To move the rear connector panel proceed as shown in the following diagram. -

USING THE CONSOLE USING THE CONSOLE USING THE CONSOLE USING THE CONSOLE USING THE CONSOLE MIC / DJ CHANNEL 1 The Channel 1 has a slightly different arrangement from the other input channels. There are four differences between this channel and all of the others. They are: The mic input to this channel can be made to form part of a venue’s emergency announcement system. -

This gives a cut or boost of +/-12dB to frequencies centred at 600Hz This gives a cut or boost of +/-12dB to frequencies below 60Hz When this switch is depressed its internal LED lights up. This indicates that the channel’s signal is being routed to the master section. -

Pressing this button routes the pre-fader signal to the headphones and meters. A LED in the switch indicates when Cue is selected. Signal-Beat-Peak LED This LED is green to show when a signal is present, yellow flashes show the beat, and red shows overload. -
Page 22: Master Section
MASTER SECTION... - Page 23 Meters The L & R bargraph meters show, by default, the signal levels at the Master Left and Right outputs. If any Cue switch on the desk is pressed the meters display the level of the cued signal. Split Switch If the Split switch is depressed the meters will show a mono sum of the cued signal on the left meter, and a mono sum of the pre- fader master outputs on the right meter.
- Page 24 Booth The booth eq has two bands. Both controls give a cut/boost of +/-6dB. Level The level of the booth outputs is controlled via this pot. Left/Stereo/Right This 3-position works as follows: left: mono signal is fed to booth left ouput only stereo: normal stereo right: mono signal is fed to booth right ouput only When depressed this switch causes the booth outputs to be cut by 12dB.

Page 25: External Mute Operation
EXTERNAL MUTE OPERATION If the external mute mode is enabled the following happens when the n.c. link on the rear of the console goes open circuit: The pre-insert signal from the mic on channel 1 is routed directly to the master outputs, bypassing all level controls and eq controls. - Page 26 SPECIFICA SPECIFICA TIONS TIONS SPECIFICA TIONS TIONS SPECIFICA SPECIFICA TIONS Input and Output Levels XLR INPUT (electronically balanced) Mic Gain range ......................+22~+54dB with +20db/-12dB gain trim Maximum input level ..............................-14dBu Input impedance ..............................2k ohms INSERT SEND (unbalanced, Ch1 only) Nominal level ................................

Auxiliary (Aux): An independent mix derived from the channels for various functions. This can be set pre (before) or post (after) the channel fader.
- Page 29 Earth Loop (Ground Loop): The result when the equipment sees more than one path to the system earth. Current flows because a resistive loop susceptible to radio and mains interference is formed. In severe cases this can result in audible hum or buzz in the system. Breaking the loop by removing all but one path to earth usually solves the problem.
- Page 30 Polarity: Sometimes erroneously referred to as ‘phase’ this is the + / - sense of a balanced signal or loudspeaker connection. Reversed polarity should be avoided and checked for as it can cause uncomfortable phasing effects as the listener moves between the speakers. Polarity Reverse is often used to correct for wrongly wired cables and connectors.
