ntroducing the 200 Delta |
—_—
The 200 Delta series comprises a range of input module, output module
and frame options that lets you configure the console for a wide variety
of applicaticns. The only constraint on the selection and positioning of
modules is that any console must have a master module (2 channels
| width) which must be fitted at the right hand side of the console, and that
any group output modules fitted have to be positioned immediately to the
left of this.
A Should you wish to replace or add extra modules, please
contact your authorised Soundcraft dealer, who can supply the
modules and change the configuration without voiding warranty.
The system has four group mixing buses, allowing the inclusion of up to
four group output modules, together with the main stereo mix bus, which
: gives the L+R outputs from the master section. Six Auxiliary send buses
are provided, giving six independent outputs with master level controls.
The master section also contains a monitor switcher which lets you
monitor the desk output, an external (stereo) 2-Track return, or a Pre
Fade Listen (solo) signal accessing all inputs and groups.

Precautions and safety instructions
General precautions
Avoid storing or using the mixing console in conditions of excessive heat
| or cold, or in positions where it is likely to be subject to vibration, dust or
moisture. Do not use any liquids to clean the fascia of the unit: a soft dry
"brush is ideal. Use only water or ethyl alcoho! to clean the trim and
scribble strips. Other solvents may cause damage to paint or plastic
parts.
Avoid using the console close to strong sources of electromagnetic
radiation (e.g. video monitors, high power electric cabling): this may
cause degradation of the audio quality due to induced voltages in
connecting leads and chassis. For the same reason, always site the
console power supply away from the unit.
- In all cases, refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Handling and transport
The console is supplied in a rugged cardboard box. If it is necessary to
move it any distance after installation it is recommended that this
packing is used to protect it. Be sure to disconnect all cabling before
moving. If the console is to be regularly moved (e.g. for touring) we
recommend that it is installed in a foam lined flight case. At all times
avoid applying excessive force to any knobs, switches or connectors.
Power supplies and cabling
| A Always make sure that the power supply has been set to the
same source voltage as the mains supply.
Consoles with up to 28 channel slots (up to 24 input) are powered by
the Soundcraft CPS150 PSU, and are fitted with a 5 way SRC DC power
input connector.
Consoles with 36 channel slots (32 input), and 24 input consoles with 16
, or more stereo inputs are powered by the Soundcraft CPS450 PSU, and
are fitted with a 10 way SRC DC power input connector.
Always use the power supply and power cable supplied with the mixer:
“the use of alternative supplies may cause damage and voids the
warranty; the extension of power cables may result in malfunction of the
| mixing console.
A Always switch the power supply off before connecting or
disconnecting the console power cable, removing or installing
modules, and servicing. In the event of an electrical storm, or large
mains voltage fluctuations, immediately switch off the PSU and
unplug from the mains.
Connections
| Wiring conventions
|
The standard 200 Delta console uses two different types of audio
| connector, 3 pin XLR (diagram 1) and '/." three pole (A gauge or stereo)
jacks. The latter are used in two different configurations, see diagrams 2
and 3. The rear frame of the console has standard apertures fitted with
blanking panels. Your Soundcraft dealer can supply a variety of mount-
ing plates to fit these, with EDAC (ELCO) multiway connectors, together
with looms to link them to the modules. Refer to options list on page 26
for details and part numbers.

Signal levels
It is important to supply the correct input levels to the console, otherwise
- signal-to-noise ratio or distortion performance may be degraded; and in
extreme cases damage to the internal circuitry may result. Likewise, on
all balanced inputs avoid sources with large common mode DC, AC or
| RF voltages, as these will reduce the available signal range on the
inputs. Note that 0dBu = 0.775V RMS.
The microphone input is designed for use with balanced low impedance
(150 or 200 ohm) microphones.
| 4 DO NOT use unbalanced microphones or battery powered
| condenser microphones with the +48V phantom power switched
on: degraded performance or damage to the microphone may
result.
The sensitivity of the microphone input is variable from -2dBu to -70dBu
(for +4dBu at the Stereo Mix outputs), and the maximum input level
(balanced) is 20dB above the set sensitivity—that is, with the gain
control at minimum, the maximum input level is +18dBu. Although the
“microphone input can thus handle some line level signals, we don't
recommend this, since the source may be unduly loaded by the low
(2Kohm) input impedance, or be damaged by the +48V phantom power.
; The line input has a sensitivity variable between -20dBu and +10dBu,
| and can also handle a maximum input level up to 20dB above the set
| value. Note that the maximum input level for unbalanced inputs is 4 or 5
! dB less than that for balanced signals, so very high level unbalanced
| signals (e.g. loudspeaker outputs of power amplifiers) may cause distor-
tion. The input impedance is approximately 20Kohms, and thus high
impedance sources (e.g. electric guitars) may be loaded too heavily.
* Such sources are best fed through an external DI (Direct Inject) box to
| the microphone input.
| The main outputs of the console (e.g. Stereo mix, group outputs, aux
sends) have a nominal output level of +4dBu, and an impedance of
750hms. The Stereo mix and Group outputs also have the facility to
. Switch the operating level to -10dBV to allow easy interface to domestic
and semi professional equipment. These outputs will deliver full level
| (+21dBu unbalanced, +27dBu balanced) into loads of greater than
600ohms. Secondary outputs, such as channel insert sends and channel
direct outputs (all unbalanced) have a nominal output level of -2dBu and
a slightly higher output impedance of 200ohms, and will only deliver the
full output level of +21dBu into load impedances of greater than 5Kohms.

Examples of use
The diagrams opposite and overleaf show typical applications of a 16
| input 200 Delta in PA, recording and keyboard mixing situations. Such
examples are of course only an indication of possible systems, the exact
setup being determined by your own system requirements and the
configuration of the console.
,
Public Address installation
Use as the front-of-house console in a sound reinforcement system.
Microphones covering drums, guitars, vocals and a DI box for the bass
guitar are fed to mic inputs 1 to 12. Stereo input modules are fitted to
positions 13 to 16, and receive the outputs from an on-stage keyboard
mixer and three stereo effects devices. The output from AUX 1 and AUX
2 feed power amplifiers to provide on-stage monitoring, whereas the
outputs from AUX 3 through AUX 5 feed effects processors. The stereo
' mix outputs feed the main power amplifiers for the house speaker
system.

Channel input
1 The +48V switch switches 48V
phantom power to the microphone
input, for use with phantom
powered condenser microphones
“and DI boxes.
: 2 The GAIN control adjusts the
! sensitivity of both the mic and line
inputs. The microphone input is
adjustable from -2dBu to -70dBu,
and the line from +10dBu
to-20dBu.
3 The LINE switch selects the line
input to the channel; the default is
MIC.
Equaliser
: 4 The standard input channel is
provided with a 3 band equaliser
comprising shelving HF and LF
controls, and a peaking MID
control, with a frequency control
that allows the selection of centre
frequencies between 300Hz and
5KHz. Centre detents on the
controls indicate the positions for a
flat response. Immediately after the
insert point. This jack on the rear
connector panel allows the routing
of the channel signal through an
external processing device.
EQ section in the signal path is the .
Auxiliaries
5 Four auxiliary send controls are
provided. AUX 1 and AUX 2 are
fed from a post EQ, pre fader
signal, so that the send level is not
‘affected by the channel fader,
allowing the easy creation of for
. example foldback mixes unaffected
| by changes in the main mix.
AUX 3 and AUX 4 are fed post
EQ, post fader, so their level
follows the channel output level set
by the fader. Their output can be
routed to Aux sends 5 and 6
instead of 3 and 4, by using the 5-6
switch.

Routing
|6 The PAN control determines the
relative levels sent to the L/group1/
group3 and R/group2/group4
; buses. In the centre, equal levels
are sent to both sides (with a
4.5dB level drop relative to fully
clockwise or anticlockwise).
Rotation fully anticlockwise sends
full level to the left/odd buses,
cutting the send to the right/even
buses; rotation fully clockwise does
the opposite.
10 The routing switches select
which buses the post fade, post
pan signal is fed to. Each switch
enables one Left/Right pair of
buses, hence the 1-2 switch sends
: the signal to groups 1 and 2, the 3-
4 switch to groups 3 and 4, and the
MIX switch to the stereo mix
outputs. We recommend that any
unused channels are unrouted to
maximise the audio performance of
the console.
Channel status
7 The PEAK LED indicator lights
| when the post EQ signal reaches a
level of 4dB below the clipping
(severe distortion) point of the
channel. If this lights any more
than momentarily on transients in
the signal, the input GAIN should
| be reduced.
8 The red illuminated PFL switch
feeds the post EQ, pre fader signal
to the CR monitor outputs (or
headphones jack), via the CR
Monitor level control, replacing the
signal currently feeding those
outputs. The red PFL LED
adjacent to the monitor control on
the master module will light to
indicate the monitoring status. PFL
signals from different sources will
be summed.
9 The ON switch enables the post
EQ, post insert channel signal
path: when “off”, all auxiliary sends
and routing outputs are muted. We
“recommend that you switch all
unused channels “off”, to prevent
: unwanted noise being added to
- any parts of the mix.
11 The channel fader is the main
: level control of the channel, and is
“along throw type to enable rapid
¡ and accurate control of the channel
output level. When mixing, you'll
get optimum headroom and signal-
to-noise ratios by keeping the fader
at about the unity gain (0) mark:
avoid running the input GAIN too
high, and the fader commensu-
rately low, since this gives very
little headroom. Similarly, running
the input GAIN very low, and the
fader fully up (10dB of gain) will
increase noise levels, and does not
give any available increase in gain
on the fader should the source
signal level drop unexpectedly.

The dual line input module |
comprises two identical channels,
|
|
|
each outputting to the stereo mix
bus. |
Channel input
1 The GAIN control adjusts the
sensitivity of the line input from
+10dBu to -20dBu.
Equaliser
| 2 Each dual line input channel is
provided with a 3 band equaliser
comprising shelving HF and LF
controls, and a peaking MID
control, with a frequency control
that allows the selection of centre
frequencies between 300Hz and
5KHz. Centre detents on the
controls indicate the positions for a
flat response. (EQ Plot diagram)

provided:
AUX 1 and AUX 2 are factory
linked to be fed from a post EQ,
pre fader signal, which can be
changed to a post EQ, post fade
signal if desired: see the 200Delta
technical manual for details. AUX 3
and AUX 4 are fed post EQ, post
fader, so their levels follow the
channel output level set by the
fader. Their output is normally
routed to Aux sends 3 and 4, but
can be changed to Aux sends 5
and 6 by internal switches: again
see the technical manual for
details.
Routing
4 The PAN control determines the
relative levels sent to the L and R
outputs. In the centre, equal levels
are sent to both sides (witha 4.5
dB level drop relative to fully clock-
wise or anticlockwise). Rotation
fully anticlockwise sends full level
to the left/odd buses, cutting the
send to the right/even buses;
rotation fully clockwise does the
opposite.

adjacent to the monitor control on
the master module will light to

1 The GAIN control adjusts the
sensitivity of the line inputs of both
channels from +10dBu to -20dBu.
2 The B switch selects the
alternative B line inputs. These
may be fitted with an RIAA
preamplifier, to enable the direct
connection of magnetic phono
cartridges to the mixing desk: see
appendix for ordering details.
3 The MONO switch sums Left +
Right inputs and feeds the
channel with the resultant mono
signal. The BAL control will then
act as a pan control.
4 The LEFT [@] switch reverses
the phase of the left channel, for
situations where a phasing error
has occurred.

5 The stereo line input channel is
¡ provided with a 3 band equaliser
comprising shelving HF and LF
controls, and a peaking MID
control, with a frequency control
that allows the selection of centre

factory linked to be fed a post EQ,
- post fade mono sum, but this can
be changed so that the left channel
feeds Aux 3 (Aux 5), and the right
. channel feeds aux 4 (Aux 6). Their
output is normally routed to Aux
sends 3 and 4, but can be changed
to Aux sends 5 and 6 by the 5-6

7 The BAL control determines the
relative level of the L and R
channels. In the centre, the equal
levels are sent to both sides (with a
4.5dB level drop relative to fully
clockwise or anticlockwise).
Rotation fully anticlockwise sends
full level to the left/odd buses,
cutting the send to the right/even
buses, and rotation fully clockwise
does the opposite.
11 The routing switches select
which buses the post fade, post
pan signal is fed to. Each switch
enables one Left/Right pair of
buses, hence the 1-2 switch sends
the signal to groups 1 and 2, the 3-
4 switch to groups 3 and 4, and the
MIX switch to the stereo mix
outputs. It is recommended that
any unused channels are unrouted
to maximise the audio performance
of the console.
Channel status
8 The PEAK LED indicator lights
when the post EQ signal reaches a
: level of 4dB below the clipping
| (severe distortion) point of the
: channel. If this lights any more
: than momentarily on transients in
the signal, the input GAIN should
: be reduced.
`9 The red illuminated PFL switch
| feeds the post EQ, pre fade mono
sum to the CR monitor outputs (or
headphones jack), via the CR
Monitor level control, replacing the
signal currently feeding those
outputs. The red PFL LED
adjacent to the monitor control on
the master module will light to
indicate the monitoring status. PFL
signals from different sources will
. be summed.
10 The ON switch enables the
post EQ signal path: when off, all
: auxiliary sends and LR outputs
are muted. We recommend that
you switch all unused channels
‘off’, to prevent unwanted noise
being added to any parts of the
Mix.
12 The stereo 100mm fader is the
main level control of the channel,
giving rapid control of the levels of
both channels simultaneously.
When mixing, you'll get optimum
headroom and signal-to-noise
ratios by keeping the fader at
about the unity gain (0) mark:
avoid running the input GAIN too
high, and the fader commensu-
rately low, since this gives very
"little headroom. Similarly, running
the input GAIN very low, and the
fader fully up (10dB of gain) will

Auxiliaries
1 The auxiliary send master level
controls set the output level of the
auxiliary send mixes: the output
level can be conveniently moni-
tored using the aux send AFL
switches. Optimum noise perform-
ance will be obtained with the send |
: controls on the input channels :
“turned up far enough to give a
; peak output level (metered using
: the aux send AFL switch) of +16
with the output level control at unity
gain (7 on the scale). The output
level should then be turned down
to suit the input level of the device
the send is driving.
Master Outputs
2 Insert points are provided in the
stereo mix signal path to enable
the insertion of external processing
devices in the signal path.
3 The master output faders
control the level of the stereo mix
output. In order to preserve
headroom, they should normally be
- run in the top 10dB of their range.
: IF the stereo output is feeding a
device which requires a lower input
leve! (e.g. a domestic tape
recorder), the reference level of the
output and 2-track return level
should be changed using the
internal switch: see the 200 Delta
technical manual.
Monitoring
4 Provision is made to monitor the
stereo mix output, the PFL signal
and the 2 track return (see
Ancillary Connector Panel). The
CR MON jacks on this panel are
available to drive on external
power amplifier/loudspeakers,
alternatively stereo headphones
can be plugged into the front panel
jack: this will mute the CR MON
outputs. The level is set by the
MONITOR LEVEL control.
Selection of the two TRK switch
routes the 2 track tape return
inputs to the monitors. Selecting a
PFL switch on any input will
automatically switch the monitoring
to the PFL signal, overriding the
Mix/2 track selection.
Output meters
5 The stereo output meters
; automatically follow the monitor
selection of mix/2 track/PFL,
though the meter reading is
independent of the MONITOR
LEVEL. The meter reading is
relative to the operating level
selected (see 3 above).
' Oscillator
6 A 1KHz oscillator is provided,
which feeds a sine wave output of
up to +16dBu to all groups, the
stereo mix and aux buses, at a
level set by the OSC LEVEL
control. The oscillator is enabled
by the ON switch, and is overrid-
den by the selection of the talkback
: switch.
Talkback
1 Talkback can be routed to either
aux send 1 and 2 (1-2 switch), or
to all buses (ALL switch). An
integral mic is provided, flush
. mounted behind the front panel,
with an associated gain control TB
"GAIN. In order to avoid acoustic
feedback, the CR monitor outputs
. are attenuated ("Dimmed") by
. approximately 20dB when talkback
to Aux 1-2 is selected, and muted
when talkback to ALL is selected.

rolloff
an output from the console comprising a mix of signals from channels
and groups derived independently of the main stereo/group mixes.
Typically the feeds to the mix are implemented on rotary level controls.
the relative levels of the left and right channels of a stereo signal.
the onset of severe distortion in the signal path, usually caused by the
peak signal voltage being limited by the circuits's power supply voltage.
loudspeakers used by the operator (engineer) in the control room to
listen to the mix.
a ratio of two voltages or signal levels, expressed by the equation
de = 20Log10 (V1/V2). Adding the suffix ‘u’ denotes the ratio is relative
to 0.775V RMS.
the practice of connecting an electric musical instrument directly to the
input of the mixing console, rather than to an amplifier and loudspeaker
which is covered by a microphone feeding the console.
a device that allows the boosting or cutting of selected bands of
frequencies in the signal path.
a feed sent back to the artistes via loudspeakers or headphones to
enable them to monitor the sounds they are producing.
the variation in gain of a device with frequency.
an output into which a group of signals can be mixed.
the available signal range above the nominal level before clipping
occurs.
a filter that rejects low frequencies.
signals at a nominal level of —10 to +6 dBu, coming from a low
impedance source.
abbreviation of ‘panorama’: controls levels sent to left and right outputs.
an equaliser response curve affecting only a band of frequencies i.e.
based on a bandpass response.
a function that allows the operator to monitor the pre fade signal in a
channel independently of the main mix.
a fall in gain at the extremes of the frequency response.

an equaliser response affecting all frequencies above or below the
break frequency i.e. a highpass or lowpass derived response.
acoustic interference from other sources.
the operator speaking to the artistes or to tape via the auxiliary or group
outputs.
a momentary rise in the signal level.
