Description

The Atlas Sound TSD-DA13 1x3 distribution amplifier is designed to provide clean, isolated signal distribution locally or to remote locations. The unit allows a balanced mic or line level source to be distributed to three isolated variable outputs making it a perfect solution for applications including convention centers, houses of worship, restaurants/sports bars and industrial facilities.

A high quality, low noise mic pre-amp, defeatable 12dB low cut filter @ 125Hz and dual summing RCA line level inputs are included as part of the unit’s input section. These features combined with the 3 mic / line level outputs allow for multiple configuration.

Isolation between outputs prevents crosstalk, removes miss matched input impedance concerns and allows for adjustable levels on each connected device.

All I/O (except the summing RCA inputs) is via Phoenix style connectors for installation convenience.

The TSD-DA13 is highly efficient and meets Energy Star™ standards as one 24V DC power supply

(available separately) can power multiple Atlas Time Saving Devices.

The TSD-DA13 is part of a full line of Atlas Sound Time Saving Devices. These compact

(1.5" x 4" x 2.75") units are designed to solve some of the common audio system problems in the easiest and in the most efficient and cost-effective way. All models are made from high quality components and include removable individual I/O connectors for quick and precise wiring, separate ground terminals for all I/Os assuring secured connections, and removable level controls that can be replaced with tamper-proof security covers.

1. Input Level Control - Adjusts the gain of the source audio signal that is applied to the DA13

circuitry. Turn clockwise to increase the signal level and counter-clockwise to decrease it.

Note: The Input Level Control knob can be removed and replaced with a supplied security cover to

prevent unauthorized adjustment.

2. Output Level Controls - Adjust the level of each of the three outputs using these controls. Turn

clockwise to increase the signal level and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Note: The output level

control knobs can be removed and replaced with supplied security covers to prevent unauthorized

adjustment.

3. Power LED - Illuminates BLUE when 24VDC power is present.

4. Input Peak LED - Illuminates Red when the input signal reaches 3dBV below when signal clipping

will occur. Occasional flashing is normal but if this indicator is continuously On, then reduce the

input level using the input level control on the front panel.

5. Signal LED - Illuminates Green when the input signal strength reaches 25mV to verify a signal

path.

6. Bracket Retainer Points - Each TSD includes two mounting brackets for securing the TSD to a

cabinet or wall. Remove screws and align the bracket with the panel hole before firmly tightening

the screws.

TSD Input/Output connections are removable for easy system wiring. The connector has a 3.5mm pitch between pins.

1. DC Power Input - Each TSD that requires DC power comes with a 2 position connector for

an external 24VDC power supply (sold separately). Because of the TSD’s low power consumption,

a single external power supply may power more than one TSD. Please refer to the specifications

on current requirements in milliamps to match with the appropriate power supply. Note: It is

acceptable to exceed the current requirements of the TSDs but NOT safe to use a power supply

that is below the current requirement of the device.

2. Mic/Line Input - Balanced Line level or balanced mic level signals are connected to this input.

Your source connects to a balanced line or mic level source. Your connection must be mated

properly to the input connector or signal loss and/or noise may occur. For gain or source input type

selection, refer to the “Dip Switch Function Identification” chart for proper input setting.

Note: Unbalanced line level inputs can be inserted with proper wire configuration by connecting

the (G) and (-) terminals together.

3. Mic/Line Output - Balanced Line level signals provide output when an input signal is present

for connection to balanced mic or line level devices. Your output connections must be connected

properly to the connectors or loss and/or noise may be introduced into the signal.

Note: Unbalanced line level devices can be used with proper wire configuration by connecting the

(G) and (-) terminals together.

4. RCA Input - Unbalanced audio signals applied to these female RCA connectors are electronically

summed and fed to the three outputs. It is NOT recommended to use the unbalanced RCA inputs

and the balanced input at the same time.

5. Cable Management Retainer Points - Each TSD includes two cable retainer straps for securing

the included cable management retainers. Remove one of the rear panel screws, align the

panel hole with a retainer and firmly tighten the screws.

Dip Switch Function Identification

SWITCH FUNCTIONS

Switch Position

• DIP SW # 1 - 24VDC Phantom Power applies power to the input terminal for condenser mic

operation. Down position is On.

• DIP SW # 2 - Input Mic or Line Select for input gain selection. Up position is Line, down position

is

• DIP SW # 3 - Input Low Cut Filter engages at a roll off rate of 12dB per octave. This filter

operates either in the Line or Mic mode. Ideal for vocal microphones to reduce low frequency

energy and to increase intelligibility. Down position is On.

• DIP SW # 4,5,6 - Microphone or Line signal level selection for each output . Up position is Line,

down position is Microphone.

Knob and Security Cover

All front panel level controls feature a removable knob that can be replaced with an included security cover. Follow these steps to prevent potentiometer damage or unwanted changes.

1. Knob Installation - Turn the potentiometer shaft fully counter-clockwise. Align the knob indicator

to the lowest setting on the panel and the potentiometer shaft slot. Carefully press the knob onto

the potentiometer shaft. Do not force or damage may occur to the potentiometer.

2. Security Cover Installation – Remove the knob from the panel and insert the cover. Do not force or

damage may occur to the potentiometer. Small pliers may be required to remove the knobs.

Mounting

There are three ways to securely mount this TSD:

1. Velcro™ - Each unit includes industrial grade Velcro™ with adhesive backing to adhere to any

flat surface.

2. Brackets - Each unit includes two mounting brackets to secure to a cabinet or wall.

3. Rack Mount Panel - The optional TSD-RMK rack mount panel supports up to four TSDs in a

1RU space.
