Circuit Research Labs has developed a multiband dynamic rang(

controller for stereophonic applications. The SEC - 800
intended to give the user precise dynamic control an
equalization of ON AIR or other selected program material.

The SEC - 800 incorporates exclusive CRL patented gait

reduction elements and voltage controlled output VCA's
The VCA's provide absolute gain/phase tracking of thi
stereophonic output signals during equalizing adjustments.

SEC - 800 ( C) Copyright Circuit Research Labs, Inc. 1987 Page 1-

 The SEC- 800 also has several unique control features which
gives the unit more flexibility and power than has ever been
possible with other multiband audio processors. These
features include the compress/limit and the multi/wide band
selection switches. Selectable bass boost high pass filters
help improve bass clarity and punch while at the same time
removing sub- sonic program content.

Designed with STEREO in mind, the SEC- 800 has unique control
circuits which maintain absolute stereo imaging. These
control circuits enable the SEC- 800 to achieve greater stereo
loudness without sounding as processed. This difference is
evident when placing the SEC on the air.

To aid the user in properly setting the audio level into the
unit, each channel has a separate 10 segment peak- reading LED
input level meter with a range from - 20 to + 2 dB. A red
overload LED is also provided as one segment of the indicator.

Audio interfacing is done through the use of a barrier

connector strip on the back panel. Inputs and outputs are
active- balanced and fed through second - order RFI suppression
filters.

The SEC accepts either 115 or 230 volts AC ( selectable by

programming the back panel power module), 48-440 Hz. The unit
is housed in a steel enclosure for maximum RFI immunity and
conforms to a standard 1 3/4 rack height measurement. A
rack slide mount is available as an option.

 2.6.2 BALANCED LINE CONNECTIONS

Most broadcast equipment is designed for balanced linc

operation. Connect as per FIGURE 2.5. The SEC- 800 has twc
input and two output connections. A two conductor shieldec
cable should be used ( Belden / 8451 or equivalent) with a rec
and black twisted pair inside a shielded covering. Connect
the red lead to 1- terminal on the barrier strip, the black
lead to the - terminal on the barrier strip, and the shielc
(ground) to GND terminal on the barrier strip. THE CABLE
SHIELD SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO GROUND AT THE SOURCE END ONL)
TO PREVENT GROUND LOOPS.

2.6.3 UNBALANCED LINE CONNECTIONS

Connect the equipment EXACTLY as shown in Figure 2.6 for

operation with unbalanced line equipment. The SEC- 800 ha
two input and two output connections.

NOTE: When using the unbalanced INPUT connection only, th(

shield is connected to the ground terminal and th(
negative (-) terminal is connected to the ground b)
a jumper wire as shown in Figure 2-6.

CAUTION: When using an unbalanced output, the

shield(s) must be connected to the ground
terminal(s). The negative (-) output
terminal must be left unconnected. This
equipment does not use transformers;
therefore, accidental grounding of the
negative (-) output terminal will short
half of the output circuit. Also, the
output level will be 6 dB lower than the
balanced output level.

 2.7 INITIAL SET-UP

2.7.1 GENERAL

The following procedure is given to aid in setting up the

unit for general program requirements. It is recommended
that the entire manual be read to become familiar with all
of the capabilities of the SEC- 800.

1. Verify that the unit is set for the correct AC line

voltage ( see Section 2.3).

2. Connect audio inputs and outputs as per Section 2.6.

3. Verify that the internal jumpers are set properly, as per

Section 2.4.

4. Feed a line level program signal through the system to

both inputs on the SEC- 800. All equipment prior to the
SEC should be set for normal operation.

NOTE: The best balance will be obtained initially by using a

monaural source to insure the same input material to
both channels.

5. Verify that the power supply PCB indicators are

illuminated as per Section 2.5.

2.7.2 INITIAL CONTROL SETTINGS

 2.7.3 DYNAMIC SET-UP PROCEDURE ( for input level setting)

The SEC- 800 can be operated with or without the CRI SCC/SPP-
800 ahead of it. This procedure is used to calibrate the
SEC- 800 for stand alone operation, for connecting the SEC- 800
to non -CRI ACCs, and as an alternative to the CRL noise
generator system set - up ( see Section 2.7.4). When used
alone, the capability of the SEC- 800 becomes restricted. The
BAND switch must be in the WIDE position in order to provide
acceptable ACC and compression action. This means that its
dynamic equalization capability is canceled. If an SCC/SPP -
800 is used before this unit, the noise generator set-up
described in Section 2.7.4 should be used for a more accurate
calibration.

NOTE: IF NO ACC IS USED IN FRONT OF THE SEC, SET THE C/R

CONTROL TO - 12.

1. Increase the setting of the SEC LEFT INPUT LEVEL

control ( back panel) until the LED above the control is
illuminated approximately 10-20% of the time. The 0 dB
indicator segment on the front panel level meter may also
be used, since its function is the same as this back
panel LED.

NOTE: The OVLD LED ( front panel) should never illuminate.

2. Increase the setting of the SEC RIGHT INPUT LEVEL

control ( back panel) until the LED above the control is
illuminated approximately 10-20% of the time. The 0 dB
indicator segment on the front panel level meter may also
be used, since its function is the same as this back
panel LED.

NOTE: The OVLD LED ( front panel) should never illuminate.

NOTE: When using a monaural source both rear panel LEDs

should light at the same time.

3. If unable to get the LED indicators for both channels to

illuminate in the previous steps after 20 complete
clockwise rotatuons, the input sensitivity should be
increased using internal jumpers J3, J4, J5, & J6 ( see
Section 2.4).

2.7.4 NOISE GENERATOR SYSTEM SET-UP

When used with a CRI SCC-800 or SPP-800, the input levels of

the SEC- 800 can be easily set using simulated dynmic program
material. With the SCC/SPP-800 set for normal operation,
activate the rear- panel noise generator function switch ( in
this mode, the audio input to the SCC/SPP is disconnected).
With the SCC/SPP output level switch set for 0 or 4-4 dam
nominally, adjust the SEC LEFT and RIGHT INPUT CALIBRATE

SEC- 800 ( C) Copyright Circuit Research Labs, Inc. 1987 Page 2-10
 controls such that the noise level peaks at 0 as observed on
the front panel display or rear- panel indicators. When the
SCC-800 gain controller is used, its internal noise select
jumper should be set to the PULSED position.

NOTE: This method can also be used to set up the entire

transmission system, including the final limiter ( see
appropriate limiter operating manual for more
details).

2.7.5 ALTERNATE SET-UP PROCEDURE USING AUDIO GENERATOR

1. Use a Potomac model AC- 51 audio generator ( or

Equivalent).

2. Disconnect the SEC inputs and connect the Potomac audio

generator to the SEC.

3. Set the audio generator for a 0 dBm output level at 1

kHz.

NOTE: If the particular system being interfaced to the

SEC has a different output level than specified
in step 3 ( above), then the audio generator
should be set to correspond to the actual system
level.

4. Increase the setting of the SEC LEFT INPUT LEVEL

control ( back panel) until the LED above the control is
just illuminated. The 0 dB indicator segment on the
front panel level meter may also be used, since its
function is the same as this back panel LED.

NOTE: The OVLD LED ( front panel) should never illuminate.

5. Increase the setting of the SEC RIGHT INPUT LEVEL

control ( back panel) until the LED above the control is
just illuminated. The 0 dB indicator segment on the
front panel level meter may also be used, since its
function is the same as this back panel LED.

NOTE: The OVLD LED ( front panel) should never illuminate.

6. If unable to get the LED indicators for both channels to

illuminate in the previous steps after 20 complete
clockwise rotations, the input sensitivity should be
increased using internal jumpers ) 3, ) 4, is, & ) 6 ( see
Section 2.4).

7. Disconnect the Potomac generator and reconnect the SEC

inputs disconnected in step # 1.

SEC- 800 ( C) Copyright Circuit Research Labs, Inc. 1987 Page 2-11
 2.7.6 OUTPUT LEVEL SET-UP

The OUTPUT LEVEL control located on the back panel should be

set to provide an output level compatible with the input
level required by the unit immediately following the SEC.

CAUTION: To prevent decreased system signal to noise

ratio, the output level controls of the SEC-
800 should be set for at least a 0 dBm
average output level.

NOTE: At this time proceed immediately to the next section

for final adjustments to set system for the best
possible on- air sound.

2.8 FINAL CONTROL AND SWITCH ADJUSTMENTS

SOUND SETTING GUIDELINES

In order to adjust this processor for optimum performance the

user must be thoroughly familiar with the operation of each
control function. See Section 3 for a description of each
control function. After completing the adjustment
procedures, special attention should be given to achieving
the final desired sound. Since the SEC- 800 is used in a
signal path with other equipment, consideration must be given
to all the settings in the audio path in the complete system.

NOTE: If the sound seems distorted at the output of the unit

it may be because the input signal is distorted.
Under normal operating conditions, the SEC will not
cause audible audio distortions such as THD, IM, etc.
If these sounds are perceived, it may be caused by
misalignment of other devices in the system, an over-
driven amplifier, or impedence matching problems
between equipment.

It is recommended that the sound setting guide on the next

page be used as a starting point in setting the 0/R.
OPERATION, and L/MVCOMP SWITCHES. These settings are only
applicable when the SEC- 800 is being used with a CRL SGC/SPP-
800 gain controller before it. If the SEC- 800 is not being
used in conjunction with an ACC, add 3 to 6 dB to the G/R
levels listed in the sound setting guide. The BAND switch
must also be in the WIDE position.

 SECTION 3 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 GENERAL

The purpose of this section is to describe the operation of

the switches, indicators, and controls on the SEC - 800. A
thorough understanding of this section will enable the user
to get the most from this unit. Each control, switch, and
indicator is described as to its operation and purpose.

12 FRONT PANEL SWITCHES, INDICATORS, AND CONTROLS

3.2.1 PONER LED INDICATOR

A red LED is used as a power on indicator.

3.2.2 GAIN REDUCTION SWITCH

The G/R — COMPRESSION (Gain Reduction) switch adjusts the

signal level to the compression circuits that control the
range of gain reduction. For example, when the switch setting
is - 9, the output of the unit will be held constant even
though the input may drop as much as 9dB below the calibrated
input level. If the input level drops 12 dB, the output will
drop only 3dB. Input signals may increase as much as 25dB
above the ' 0' dB indication on the LED input level meter and
not be affected by the setting of this switch, since
compression action is automatic above ' 0'. Proper setting of
this switch is determined by the sound the user is trying to
achieve. The amount of apparent loudness increase is most
noticeable when switching from 0 to -3 and from - 3 to - 6.

NOTE: It is suggested that the user select a setting as ; ow

as possible to accomplish the objectives. Most users
choose - 6 or - 9.

3.2.3 OPERATION SWITCH

The OPERATION switch controls the program dependent attack

and release time ranges of all four gain reduction bands and
also selects the PROOF or BYPASS mode of operation. As the
switch is moved from S (Slow) to M(Medium) to F (Fast), the
RMS energy ( loudness) of the signal is increased without
increasing the peak amplitude. While this does decrease the
dynamics of the source material, the technology of this unit
is such that undesirable audible effects are minimal. A
description of each switch setting is listed in the
following chart.

SEC - 800 ( C) Copyright Circuit Research Labs, Inc. 1987 Page 3-1
 SETTING DESCRIPTION

PROOF This setting connects the input amplifier

directly to the output amplifier. The unit
becomes a linear amplifier.

S ( slow) This setting provides a slow release time. The

four bands operate primarily as dynamic
equalizers with extremely transparent
compression. This maintains a consistent
equalization and average level with variations
in program material. This position is
suggested for use by easy listening stations
in broadcast applications.

M ( medium) This setting provides a medium release time.

The four bands resemble more aggressive type
compression devices and cause moderate
loudness increases by compressing and reducing
the dynamic range. This position is
recommended for most broadcast applications.

F ( fast) This setting provides a fast release time. The

dynamic range is reduced to produce maximum
loudness.

3.2.4 INPUT LEVEL INDICATORS

The input indicators display the input signal level for two
separate channels ( left and right). The readout is in
logarithmic notation as indicated by the scale and is
always peak reading. The red OVLD indicator will begin to
illuminate when the signal level is 8 dB above the 0 dB
calibration reference level.

3.2.5 BAND - LIMIT/COMPRESSION SWITCH

This switch selects the processing configuration used for

gain control.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

COMPRESS When this position is used, the SEC produces a

substantial increase in the WÀS energy and
loudness of program material while having little
effect on the transient and apparent dynamics of
the program content. This position allows
substantial levels of audio processing of
program signals without sounding significantly
processed and is the recommended position.

SEC- 800 ( C) Copyright Circuit Research Labs, Inc. 1987 Page 3-2
 POSITION DESCRIPTION

LIMIT When this position is used, the gain reduction

elements function to produce peak control
action on the program material. This setting
does not sound as open as the COMPRESS position,
however It does allow for a more consistent
loudness capability. When this setting is used,
greater levels of on- air loudness can be
achieved without resorting to greater amounts
of post peak clipping.

3.2.6 BAND - WIDE/MULTI SWITCH

This switch selects either normal or multiband operation.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

MULTI In this position the SEC performs as a

conventional multiband gain control processor.
The audio is split into separate frequency bands
and each band undergoes independent gain control
action. This causes automatic re- equalization of
the audio spectrum when the bands are re -
combined at the output. This type of
equalization is used or most applications.
This position should not be used when the SEC is
used without a companion AGC unit such as the
CRL SGC - 800.

WIDE In this position the SEC - 800 short duration

processing characteristics are stiIl multiband.
Long duration varying input levels are now
controlled by one combined time constant that is
derived from the average C/R of each band. This
reduces the total amount of dynamic equalization
available while maintaining low gain
intermodulation qualities on program dynamics.

3.2.7 GATE SWITCH AND INDICATOR

This switch may be set in any of three positions; OFF, — 10,

or -2e When the input level drops below the selected
threshold, all gain control circuits are frozen at their
previous gain ( or attenuation) levels. If the switch is set
for —10, signals that fall below that level will be passed
through without AGC amplification. This means that no
background noise is brought up during pauses in program
material. For examp e, during a newscast, if a teletype
background sound is present that is more than - 10db or
-20db down in level depending on choice of setting), this
effect will not be increased in loudness during pauses. The
GATE LED on the front panel illuminates whenever the gain is
frozen by this circuit.

SEC- 800 ( C) Copyright Circuit Research Labs, Inc. 1987 Page 3-3
 3.2.8 OUTPUT EQUALIZATION ( L, Ml, M2, & H) CONTROLS

The OUTPUT EQUALIZATION controls adjust the output levels of

the four gain control channels. They control individual band
output levels from - 12db to + 6db from their 12 o'clock
positions. Precision tracking of the stereo audio bands is
achieved through the use of stereo VCA's which control the
actual audio levels. The stereo VCA's are in turn adjusted by
control voltages which are set by the respective front panel
control.

These controls adjust the frequency balance of the program

for the station's format. They operate much as a simple
audio equalizer would. The four bands are logarithmically
equal in audio frequency spectrum size in order to match the
way our ears perceive sound. The four bands use 6db per
octave filters to insure peak' and hole free band
recombination. The frequency range of the audio band for
each control is as follows:

OUTPUT EQUALIZER CONTROL RANGES

POSITION CONTROL RANGE

L ( LOA!) 20 to 200 Hz.

M1 200 to 1000 Hz.

M2 1000 to 5000 Hz.

H ( HIGH) 5 kHz to 15 kHz.

CAUTION: If all controls are advanced beyond 12 o'clock and

their settings are equal, no equalization has been
accomplished, only the total output drive level of
the unit has been increased. In these cases, it
is recommended that all equalizer controls be
returned to their 12 o'clock positions and the rear
panel OUTPUT controls be re- adjusted instead.

NOTE: There are small markings at numerous positions about

the perimeters of these controls. These are used to
log different types of equalizer settings.

 3.3 REAR PANEL CONTROLS AND SWITCHES

3.3.1 INPUT CALIBRATE LEFT CONTROL AND INDICATOR

An INPUT LEVEL control is provided to adjust the audio input

signal level to the left channel input amplifier. A LED
indicator ( located above the control) is provided for proper
setting of the input level. This LED should flash during
program peaks ( see Section 2.7 for set up). This LED is a
duplicate of the 0 dB indicator segment in the front panel
level meter.

3.3.2 INPUT CALIBRATE RIGHT CONTROL AND INDICATOR

An INPUT LEVEL control is provided to adjust the audio input

signal level to the right channel input amplifier. A LED
indicator ( located above the control) is provided for proper
setting of the input level. This LED should flash during
program peaks ( see Section 2.7 for set up). This LED is a
duplicate of the 0 dB indicator segment in the front panel
level meter.

3.3.4 OUTPUT - LEFT, CONTROL

This control adjusts the left output level of the unit. It

has a range from off to + 18 dBm into a 600 ohm load when the
front panel control settings are as per Section 2.7.2.

3.3.5 OUTPUT - RIGHT, CONTROL

This control adjusts the right output level of the unit. It

has a range from off to + 18 dBm into a 600 ohm load when the
front panel control settings are as per Section 2.7.2.

SEC- 800 ( C) Copyright Circuit Research Labs, Inc. 1987 Page 3-5
 SECTION 4 - THEORY OF OPERATION

4.1 GENERAL

This section contains theory of operation for the SEC - 800. A

detailed block diagram of the SEC is found in the Appendix.
A schematic drawing and PCB parts placement drawing are also
found in the Appendix. The signal is traced through the unit
using the L audio channel. The parts for the R audio channel
are referenced in ( ).

IF
4.2 POWER SUPPLY

AC power is supplied to the unit via a standard 3- conductor

power cable which plugs into the power module on the back
panel of the unit. AC power is applied to power
transformer Ti through fuse F1. The power transformer has
dual windings to permit powering from either 100 to 130 VAC
or 200 to 250 VAC. A PCB located inside the power module is
positioned to select the transformer winding combination
required for each input voltage.

********** SEE SECTION 2.3 FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON SELECTING

WARNING THE AC INPUT VOLTAGE. OPERATION ON 200-250
********** VAC WILL ALSO REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE AC
PLUG AND FUSE.

Power transformer Ti provides two sets of operating voltages.

One voltage set is routed to the main PCB and the other set
is routed to the auxiliary interface PCB. On the main PCB a
full wave bridge rectifier consists of CR3, CR4, CR5, and
CR6, which provides the main DC power for the unit. The
pulsating DC voltage is filtered by C5 and C6. The DC
voltage from the rectifier is fed to voltage regulators VR1
and VR2 which develop the two regulated outputs of + 15 VDC
and - 15 VDC. CR1, & CR2 are employed as protection diodes.
The circuitry is well bypassed on each supply line through
the use of several decoupling capacitor sets. Each output
voltage can be precisely adjusted using R3 to adjust + 15 V
and R4 to adjust - 15 V.

The auxiliary PCB provides DC power for the LED PCB and the
power ON LED. Power transformer Ti provides the operating
voltage ( via a separate winding) for the full wave bridge
rectifier consisting of CR2, CR3, CR4, & CR5. The pulsating
DC voltage is filtered by Cl. The DC voltage from the
rectifier is fed to voltage regulator Ul which develops the
positive 5 volt regulated output voltage. CR1 is employed as
a protection diode.

 4.3 SIGNAL CIRCUITRY

The left and right audio signals enter the SEC- 800 through
the (+) and (-) audio input terminals located on the rear
panel. The audio lines are then RF bypassed to chassis ground
by LC low pass input filters located in the RF shield
compartment.

The audio signals are next sent to the input attenuation

networks for the differential input amplifiers U5a ( U5b). The
audio levels to these balanced amplifiers are adjusted by the
rear panel INPUT CALIBRATE potentiometers which set the left
and right reference levels into the unit.

After the INPUT CALIBRATE potentiometers R316 ( R317), the

overall unit input sensitivities are adjusted in 3 ranges by
jumpers J3 to J6. These ranges are High (- 10 to - 30 dbm),
Medium (+ 5 to - 15 dbm), and Low (+ 5 to 0 dbm).

Next, the input signals enter the G/R (compression) switch

S1a ( Sib). This switch is configured in 3db steps and is used
to adjust the audio drive level into the C/R stages. The
attenuation selected causes corresponding amounts of gain
reduction.

Following the 0/R (compression) switch, the left and right

audio enters the specially designed bass boost high pass
filters U14a ( U14b). The operation of the filters is
selected by jumpers J7 ( J8). See Figure 4-1 for a frequency
response curve for this circuit. These filters also act as
buffer amplifiers for the following frequency splitting
filters.

The frequency splitting filters used in each channel divide

the audio into four separate bands which have been selected
to give the optimum performance in processing capacity.

These filters break the audio spectrum into the musical bass
bands controlled by the front panel L control, the vocal
resonance bands controlled by the front panel MU control,
the vocal presence bands controlled by the MU control and
finally the musical high bands controlled by the H control.
The four stereo bands combined contain the audible frequency
range from 50Hz to 15KHz. See Section 3.2.8 for a table
listing the output equalizer control ranges. Figure 4-2
shows the response curves for the 4 band filter.

The left and right channel dynamic ranges are compressed by

four independent gain reduction stages. The L band consists
of U13a and U12a ( U13b and ( U12b). The Adr1 band consists of
U18b and U17b ( U18a and U17a). The MU band consists of U24a
and U23a ( U24b and U23b). The Arband consists of U29b and
U28b ( U29a and U28a). The gain reduction action of these
stages is controlled by complex gain determining signals

 derived from the combined and weighted absolute values of
each band's left and right audio channels. The L band
consists of U9a, U10a, U10b, and U8a. The kU band consists
of U9b, U15a, U15b, and U8b. The MU band consists of U20a,
U21a, U21b, and U19a. The hrband consists of U20b, U26a,
U26b, and U19b.

The OPERATION switch S2a ( S2c) controls the overall attack

and release time ranges of the bands. It can be set for S
(slow), hi (medium), or F (fast). This allows the user the
flexibility to tailor the gain reduction action for the
required format. The fourth position of the switch is
labeled PROOF S2b. It is used to bypass the multiband gain
control devices and output equalizers. This is accomplished
by connecting the balanced input amplifier stages to the
master output level controls and output ampli'iers U6a and
U7a ( U6b and U7b).

This four position switch tailors the overall response of the

bands. When placed in the S position, the gain reduction
stages act as transparent ACC's and as dynamic equalizing
devices. When placed in the Afposition, the stages act as
more aggressive medium speed compressors. When placed in the
F position, they act as more radical high speed compressors.

Two additional switches provide even more audio sound quality

control. These switches are called the MULTI/WIDE S4 and
COMPRESS/LIMIT S5 switches.

The positive effect of multiband audio processing is its

ability to control the pieces of the audio waveform
separately. This prevents the audible gain intermodulation
effects of wideband devices that occurs when large
amplitudes of one portion of the audio spectrum abruptly
enter and leave a complex audio waveform. An example of this
can be best envisioned by imagining what happens to a gain
controlled audio waveform of a - 10 dbm voice soloist when
abruptly joined by a + 10 dbm bass drum beat.

The negative side effect of multiband processing is the

automatic equalization effect at the output of such
processors This is apparent as the output signal audibly
varies if the input signals vary widely in levels. This is
the reason for placing some form of ACC in front of multiband
compressors.

These effects are controlled by the MULTI/WIDE switch S4.

In the MULT mode, the SEC - 800 behaves as a conventional four
band audio processor. In the WIDE position the
characteristics of the unit are modified to eliminate
negative side effects. When processing audio in multiple
bands, and providing multiband control of program dynamics,
the bands are controlled to eliminate automatic dynamic
equalization.

SEC- 800 ( C) Copyright Circuit Research Labs, Inc. 1987 Page 4-5
 The COMPRESS/LIMIT switch S5 allows the SEC - 800 processor to
behave as two different types of processors. This is achieved
by changing the dynamic attack and release characteristics of
the unit and the peak to average control characteristics of
the unit as well.

In the COMPRESS position, the unit produces substantial

increases in loudness ( RMS level) of program material while
having little effect on the transient portions of program
content. This allows substantial levels of audio processing
of program signals without sounding processed.

In the LIMIT position, the unit provides simultaneous peak

and average limiting which significantly reduces the peak to
average ratios of the audio signals. This setting does not
sound as natural as the COMPRESS position, but it allows
greater loudness without having to resort to the same amounts
of post peak clipping.

The left and right four band outputs are fed to D.C. VCA
(Voltage Controlled Amplifier) circuits. The L band VCA
consists of Ulla ( U1Ib) and R313. The lee band VCA consists
of U16b ( U16a) and R314. The MU band VCA consists of U22a
(U22b) and R315. The hrband VCA consists of U27b ( U27a) and
R316. Each band of the stereo channels is controlled by a
single potentiometer which provides a control voltage that
regulates the output gain of both channels.

The OUTPUT EQUALIZER controls are labeled L, MU, and H.

They adjust the stereo output gains of each band from - 12db
to + 6db from a 12 o'clock reference setting. These controls
equalize the stereo audio signals to the desired tonal
balance required by the user.

The outputs of the four stereo bands are fed into summation
amplifiers U25a ( U25b) which recombine the individually gain
controlled bands back into full frequency response left and
right audio channels.

Following the summation amplifiers, the recombined audio

channels are fed to the left and right rear panel OUTPUT
controls R320 ( R319), which allow control of the output
levels from off to a maximum of + 18dbm at the balanced
output terminals.

The OUTPUT controls then feed pairs of non- inverting U7a

(U7b) and inverting amplifiers U6a ( U6b), which form
differential output amplifier pairs. These pairs provide
equal but opposite phased (+) and (-) output signals that
become balanced when referenced to the unit's chassis ground.

The left and right processed audio signals are RF bypassed to

chassis ground by using LC low pass output filters located
in the RF shield compartment. The left and right processed
audio signals leave the SEC - 800 through the (+) and (-)
balanced audio output terminals located on the rear panel.

 SECTION 5 - MAINTENANCE, TROUBLESHOOTING, AND
CUSTOMIZATION

5.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

A minimum amount of preventive maintenance is required to

insure optimum performance of this unit. If a regular
preventive maintenance schedule is not in existence, Circuit
Research Labs suggests the following check list be performed
on a periodic basis.

1. Check to insure that the input and output cables are

properly connected to their respective terminals.
Inspect the cables to make sure they are in good physical
condition. ( FRAYED WIRES CAN SHORT OUT, CAUSING
INTERMITTENT FAILMES).

2. Check to insure that all switches and indicators are

secure and in good working condition.

3. Remove any dirt or dust around the unit. This may not
immediately affect the unit, but long term exposure may.

4. Keep all liquids away from the unit. Accidental spillage

can result in serious damage to the unit and will void
the warranty.

5.2 ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES

5.2.1 GENERAL

Three types of internal alignment in the SEC - 800 are provided.

These alignments are used mainly for manufacturing purposes
but can be used in the field if certain component
replacements are found necessary.

These alignments are for LM337/LM317 power supply regulator

adjustments, certain LM13600 adjustments, and display
calibration. Even with replacement of these components, re -
alignment is not normally necessary for proper unit
operation.

5.2.6 INPUT INDICATOR ADJUSTMENT

1. Apply a 1KHz tone to the LEFT and RIGHT INPUTS of the

SEC - 800.

2. Adjust the INPUT CALIBRATE, RIGHT potentiometer until the

RIGHT rear calibration LED just begins to light.

3. With an RMS Voltmeter or Oscilloscope, measure the rms or

peak to peak voltage of the signal at pin 7, U5.

4. Move the Voltmeter or Oscilloscope to pin 1, U5 and

carefully adjust the INPUT CALIBRATE, LEFT potentiometer
until the rms or peak to peak voltage of the signal at
this pin is equal to the pin 7 voltage.

 5. Adjust the L CH INDICATOR (R-20) Potentiometer on the
circuit board until the LEFT rear calibration LED just
begins to light. Calibration is now complete.

5.3 TROUBLESHOOTING

5.3.1 GENERAL

The items listed below should be checked before

troubleshooting the SEC:

1. Check for input and output levels causing overloads to

the unit or the equipment following it. Make certain any
additional equipment which may be connected to the unit
is not being over- driven.

2. Check for failures in monitoring or other test equipment

if measurements are erratic. Strong RF fields can make
some test equipment give strange results. Poor equipment
grounds and incorrect grounding of balanced line
interconnects will cause problems that are not faults
within the SEC. It is a good idea to use an oscilloscope
to verify testing.

3. Since this is audio equipment, don't be afraid to listen

to the unit while it is in operation. A pair of good
quality, 600 ohm or higher impedence headphones can be
used to bridge across the inputs and outputs. Listening
can quickly locate a bad unit or clear a suspected unit.

5.3.2 Suggested Component Checks

5.4 CUSTOMIZATION

5.4.1 LOW BAND AND M1 BAND CROSSOVER FREQUENCIES

The crossover freqeuncy may be changed to give more control

over low bass frequencies for stations with listeners that
primarily use large speaker systems. See Figure 5-1 for the
four band filter response curves with the customized
configuration.

capacitor ( C53) and solder it in place of C32.

2. Solder a . 47 UF capacitor at C53.

3. Remove C45 and C40 ( right channel). Take the . 22 UF

capacitor ( C45) and solder it in place of C40.

4. Solder a . 47 UF capacitor at C45.

5.4.2 REMOVING LIMITER CIRCUITRY

Each of the 4 bands have separate compressor and limiter

circuitry. See the table below to determine the resistor to
lift to remove each specific band. When voice programming is
being used the limiter circuitry should not be removed from
Ai/ and MU bands. For stations requiring maximum dynamic
range the limiting may be removed on the LOW and HIGhrbands.

 USING THE SEC- 800 WITH OTHER EQUIPMENT

Interfacing the SEC- 800 to the Optimod 8100

This procedure is to be done after the SEC- 800 has been set
up according to the manual and the output of the SEC- 800 is
feeding the input of the 8100.

1. Place the AGC switch inside the 8100 to the PROOF

position ( this will also defeat the gating on the 8100).

2. Set the INPUT attenuators of the 8100 so that there is a

0 to - 20 indication on the 8100 multimeter in the left or
right metering positions.

3. Set the MULTLWETER to L—R and adjust the RIGHT INPUT

attenuator for the best null while sending FULL MONO.

4. Now observe the High Frequency Limit indicators. They

should be blinking no more than 10 to 15 percent of the
time. If they are blinking more than this, reduce the
output of the SEC- 800 to around Odbm, then re- adjust the
INPUT attenuators on the 8100 to arrive at the above
conditions.
