GSOC33 COAXIAL COMMENTATORS CONTROL UNIT

GENERAL
The Glensound GSOC33 commentators control unit is designed to operate with the GSOC34 Commentators Unit. Connection between the GSOC33 and GSOC34 is by a single coaxial cable.

MECHANICAL ARRANGEMENT
Our sketch A3-14424 shows the overall shape and size of the GSOC33. This shows a ten channel version. That is it has facilities to control and supervise ten commentators units. We can manufacture these units with any number of channels up to a maximum of ten. If a unit is ordered with less than ten channels, we can manufacture this in a shorter case, when there would be no room to add channels at a later date, or in a full size case with spare channel spaces fitted with blanks.

Normally the GSOC33 is fitted with ten channels and two power supply modules. Each power supply is capable of powering the whole unit. If fewer channels are required, the most compact unit could be made with only one PSU.

MAIN FACILITIES

1)       To produce a balance between the three commentators and international sound.

2)       To provide line identifications for the program and coord lines

3)       To provide comprehensive monitoring facilities

4)       To provide communication with the commentators and the studio

Our sketch number A2-14426 shows the panel layout of each of the three modules.

SEND LEVELS
Screwdriver controlled presets are provided to accommodate a range of different output levels. The easiest way to set these levels is to use the internal ident generators to send line up tone, and then adjust the presets while monitoring the program go (or coord go) levels with an external level meter.

RECEIVE LEVELS
The correct line up for external inputs is achieved by using the internal monitoring meters, and adjusting the input gain controls until the incoming audio peaks to the desired level on the meter.
