VERIFICATION PROCESS
product:

num: 51.0083 version: 01.00

PRELIMINARY:

Input sensitivities:

LINE -10dBV /0dBV (jumper OFF)

MIC BAL -50dBV (jumper ON)
MIC BAL ATT -30dBV (jumper OFF)
MIX -10dBV (jumper ON)

Output levels:

OUT -10dBV (jumpers OFF)

0dBV (side jumpers ON)
+2dBV (central jumpers ON, side jumpers OFF )
+6dBV (central jumpers ON, side jumpers ON )
REC1 -10dBV (pre-tone)
REC2 -10dBV (post-tone)
HEADPHONES +20dBV (600 Ù load)

Control setting:

Set all the input and output VOL potentiometers to the minimum.
PFL and MONO switches must be OFF.
Set the TONE CONTROL potentiometers to the central position.

LINE INPUT

Place the jumpers for a 0dBV output level.

Feed the INPUT1 with a 0dBV/2KHz signal.
Rise the corresponding VOL and check the potentiometer travel.
Verify that on the REC1 output the signal level is -10dBV±1dBV and the linearity for the
whole bandwidth (20Hz-2KHz-20KHz).
Null an input and check that it is the same at the output.
Check the PFL switch. The signal level on the headphones output must be +20dBV +/-
1dBV for a 600 ohm load. Check the potentiometer travel.
Place the INPUT1 jumpers and check that the REC1 output rises to 0dBV. Remove the
jumpers.
Repeat the process for the remaining LINE inputs.

MIC & MIC ATT INPUTS

Place the corresponding jumpers.

Feed the MICRO1 input with a -50dBV (balanced)/2KHz signal.
Verify that on the REC1 output the signal level is -10dBV ±1dBV.

51-0083-0100 M02-01 SAM512 Anglès.doc 1 of 3

Also verify the linearity (20Hz-2KHz-20KHz).
To verify the MIC ATT position, remove the jumpers and raise the input signal level by
20dBV (-30dBV) and check that the REC1 output level remains the same.
Repeat the process for the remaining inputs.

TONE CONTROL

Place the corresponding jumpers.

Verify that on the REC2 output the signal level is -10dBV ±1dBV.
Check the following values:

BASS 80Hz ±12dBV (±1dBV)

MID 2KHz ±15dBV (±1dBV)
TREBLE 10KHz ±12dBV (±1dBV)

Place the potentiometers back to the central position.

MIX INPUT

Place the corresponding jumpers.

Feed the input with a -10dBV signal.
Check that the OUT level is 0dBV.

OUTPUT

Use the NO BAL output for the measures.

Raise the VOL control. Check the potentiometer travel.
Verify the MONO switch. Disconnect one of the input channels and turn the switch ON.
Check that on both output channels the signal level is 6dBV lower. Turn the switch OFF.
Check that the signal level on OUT is 0dBV ±1dBV and also check the linearity for the
whole bandwidth (20Hz-2KHz-20KHz).
Remove the jumpers on the MIX INPUT and check that the output level falls 10dBV. Raise
the generator level to 0dBV in order to maintain the output level.
Measure now on the BAL output (any of them). Adjust the corresponding trim pot to equal
both signal levels (≈-6dBV). Adjust in the same way the other channel. Check the different
gains of this circuit as a function of the jumper combination (-10, 0, +2 and +6 dBV).

VU-METER

Verify that with -10dBV on the output (output gain = 0dBV) the first green Led on the left
is shining; with 0dBV, the following green Led shines and with 6dBV the red Led shines.
Adjust the generator level to obtain these values.

PHANTOM

By using a phantom-feeded microphone, verify that it doesn’t operate when the unit’s
phantom supply is not activated (configurable) but the PHANTOM switch is pressed.

BURNING TEST.
To submit the unit to a burning test, leave it connected to the mains supply and turned on
for 24 hours.

SAFETY VERIFICATION TESTS.

Preliminary:

Unplug the unit to be tested from the mains outlet.

Short all ground terminals from signal inputs, outputs and other external connectors,
except the mains plug’s ground.
Turn on the unit’s main power switch.

Ground continuity test:

Connect the tester’s probes between the mains ground contact and the unit’s backside
main ground test point. When applying a 10A current, verify that the ground impedance
is lower than 0’1Ω.

Electrical insulation test:

Connect the electrical insulation tester’s probes between the mains outlet ground
contact and both shorted mains input poles. Adjust the tester’s current limit down to
10mA. Apply 1500Vac during 5 seconds.
The unit’s insulation should be able to resist this voltage, without generating spurious
sparks or a spark over effect, and the tester may not detect any dysfunction.

CAUTION: Do not disconnect or touch the test probes until the test has finished
completely!

VERIFICATION USING MUSIC

Verify all signal in- and outputs with music. Verify that all signal controls are functioning
correctly, and that a good sound quality is obtained, noise- and distortion-free.
To ensure that all electrical junctions are well-fixed, hit the tested unit against your
working table, obviously without damaging its outer presentation; no crispering or
annoying background noise should be added to the output signal due to this.

QUALITY CONTROL

All mechanical parts should be visually revised, in order to detect scratches on the unit's
painting; all screws should be on their place, correctly tight and unmarked. Check out the
unit's general presentation
