Above are examples of SPN mixers in 1RU and 2RU 

versions built around the 8 in/12 out board. Dual board 

models share a common power supply, RS-232 and 

Ethernet ports. The ASPEN ports and Programmable 

Input and Output ports are dedicated to each board.

Power Inlet

The switching power supply will operate with line volt-

ages between 100 and 240 VAC. The inlet socket is a 

standard 3-pin C14 type that accepts any cordset with a 

C13 connector.

Cooling Fan

The microprocessor monitors the internal temperature 

of the processor and controls the variable speed fan as 

needed. Operating temperature is very well regulated.

RS-232 and Ethernet Ports

Each host assembly provides RS-232 and Ethernet 

ports for communication with the microprocessor. The 

ports can be utilized simultaneously for monitoring, 

setup and control.

ASPEN Ports

This gigabit bus transports audio and data from one 

board to the next through CAT-6 cabling and RJ-45 con-

nectors. Processors are normally installed with the Mas-

ter unit on top and Slave units below it. The cabling is 

then connected from the uppermost jack on one board 

to the lowermost jack on the unit just above it. See page 

9 for more information.

Balanced Inputs

Every mic/line input is a balanced, differential type with 

adjustable gain from -10 to +60 dB. Connectors are a 

standard 5-pin Phoenix depluggable type with adjacent 

channels sharing a common ground.

Balanced Outputs

All outputs are a balanced, differential type. Channels 1 

through 8  and 17 through 24 on each board are nomi-

nal line level outputs with gain adjustment from OFF, 

-69 to +20 dB. Channels 9 through 16 on each board 

are the same, except switchable attenuation of 20 and 

40 dB is also available to reduce the output to the “mic 

level” range.
