Integration Port and Master Meters

Integration Port​

The rear-panel Integration Port provides audio and control connections for integrating an external monitor controller.

ASP4816-HE Integration Port DB25 connector

The DB25 uses a Tascam-standard pinout. Channel assignment is:

ChannelOutput
1Control Room Output Left
2Control Room Output Right
3Guide Track Output Left
4Guide Track Output Right
5Remote DIM DC
6Remote SOLO DC
7Not used
8Not used

The stereo Guide Track is fed from Aux 5 + Aux 6.

Remote DIM and Remote SOLO provide approximately 12 V DC when active and can be used to trigger compatible external monitor-controller functions.

Master meters​

ASP4816-HE PSU status, stereo master meters, talkback input and gain-reduction meter area

The master-meter pod includes:

  • +18 V, -18 V and +48 V power-rail status indicators.
  • Left and Right peak-reading main-output meters.
  • OVER indication.
  • 0 VU reference.
  • Talkback microphone input.
  • Solo indication.

0 VU = +4 dBu. When the connected converter is aligned to +18 dBu = 0 dBFS, the +18 dBu point represents digital full scale at that converter. The console's OVER indication illuminates at +20 dBu.

Headphone output​

The headphone output on the master-meter pod is fed from ALT 3. Its listening level is therefore affected by the Main Monitor Volume and the ALT 3 trim.

Subgroup / Line 17–24 meters​

ASP4816-HE eight subgroup and Line Input 17–24 meters

Eight 20-segment meters show the signals associated with the subgroup / Line 17–24 section. The same +4 dBu nominal and +18 dBu converter-alignment reference applies.
