3. INSTALLATION
The eSAM603 mixer has been specially designed to be installed in a standard 19" rack, taking up
1U.
Due to its low power consumption and heat sink, the eSAM603 doesn't need any fan cooling.
However, avoid installing it in dusty environments and/or in a location with extreme temperature and
moisture.
The mixer should be kept apart from noise and interference sources (dimmers, motors, etc...) as
well as from power cables.
The eSAM603 operates from 90V to 264V CA, 47 to 63Hz. Its oversized power supply is
compatible with any mains voltage worldwide.
In order to protect the mixer from eventual overloads, the eSAM603 is protected by a timered
power fuse of 0.5A. If it gets blown up, you must replace it with an identical one. If it gets blown up, you
must replace it with an identical one. NEVER REPLACE THE FUSE WITH ANOTHER ONE WITH A
HIGHER VALUE.
CAUTION: Fuse substitutions have to be performed by a qualified technician.
4. INPUTS
The eSAM603 inputs accept two types of audio signals (mono microphone and/or stereo line).
For inputs accepting both types of signals, the selection is done using a MIC/LINE switch located on the
rear panel:
Microphone signal: Euroblock connector and a nominal input level from -50dBV (3.16mV) to
-20dBV (0.1V), with a GAIN control on the rear panel to adjust the gain.
Here is the wiring diagram for microphones:
Microphones must be low impedance (200 to 600) and monophonic.
The eSAM603 supplies phantom power for condenser microphones; it is enabled by an internal
jumper (see diagram). By default, phantom power is disabled (factory setting).
The Talkover (priority) function operates when a signal is detected at the inputs 1 to 5 this function
is assigned to; it attenuates the other inputs of the unit that don't have priority. Turn it on/off for each input
channel with the "TK" switch on the front panel.
