ENGLISH S14/S14P Mixing Console Description The S-14 is a twelve channel, rack mountable, mixing console specifically designed to meet the needs of churches, schools, and small public venues. The challenge of these applications is to provide high quality sound where the experience of the operator ranges from novice to experienced. In many cases, these sound systems are used without an operator. The S-14 Sanctuary Series mixing system meets these challenges by incorporating a unique set of featur

The headphone amplifier with headphone/meter selector switch is another important tool for setting and operating the S-14. The user can listen to and observe the level of the main L/R output, hear the mix and monitor the level to Monitor outputs 1 and 2, or listen to the stereo channels to cue tapes or CDs without sending the signal to the house or monitor amplifiers. The S-14P has all of the above features and includes a dual 500 Watt power amplifier. The back panel power amplifier mode switch

1. COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD: The first four channels have auto-mixing and compressor capabilities when assigned to the pulpit or wireless group. These soft-knee are compressors designed to keep levels from getting out of hand. The threshold control sets the level at which compression begins. The CMP LED located beside the channel’s fader lights to indicate that compression is taking place. To set it, start with the control fully clockwise and turn it down to the point that the LED lights only on the

6. MONITOR SEND (1–2): The monitor sends adjust the level of the channel signal added to the monitor mix. They are post-EQ, post-fader, and follow the channel’s level. The center detent is the unity gain (nominal) position. 7. EFFECTS SEND: This adjusts the level of the channel signal (post-EQ, post-fader) added to the effects mix. The signal is sent to the internal effects processor and to a master effects send output jack on the rear panel. If the internal effects are not needed, this send ca

11. FADER: This is the channel output-level control. This control works somewhat differently on the automix channels 1–4 and the remaining inputs. On channels 1–4, the fader scale is from off to 0dB. The gain on these channels is best adjusted so that feedback will not occur with the fader set at 0. The fader will then be operated in the black area (0 to ±20dB). On the remaining channels the fader scale is from off to +10dB of gain. The optimum setting for these channels is the 0 (unity gain) po

Master Functions: 17. PHANTOM POWER: Applies +48VDC voltage to the input XLR connectors to power microphones requiring it. If phantom power is used, do not connect unbalanced dynamic microphones or other devices to the XLR inputs that cannot handle this voltage. An LED indicates when phantom power is on. 18. EFFECTS SELECT: There are four pre-programmed reverbs built into the console ranging from small to large. Use this switch to select the reverb that best fits the style of music being perform

The amount is determined by a concealed preset switch (MIN up, MAX down). 27. MONITOR CLIP/MUTE: Mutes the monitor output. The indicator will light when it is muted. The light also cautions that the monitor signal is within 2 dB of clipping, and channel send levels or the master monitor fader level should be re

31. HEADPHONE OUTPUT: This stereo jack (TRS) provides drive for 31 the headphones. The level is set by the headphone level control. Tip = Left, Ring = Right, Shield = Ground. 32. HEADPHONE LEVEL: This control sets the volume of the headphones. 32 33. HEADPHONE/METER SOURCE: Selects the signal(s) sent to the headphone amplifier and to the output meter array. Options include the main L/R outputs, monitor1, monitor2, or a cue mix of channel 33 11/12 and 13/14 pre-fader signals. This last position

INPUTS & OUTPUTS Input and Output Jacks: 35. MIC INPUT: XLR balanced input optimized for a microphone or other low impedance source. Pin 2 is the positive input. Because of the wide range of gain adjustment, signal levels up to +22dBu can be accommodated. 1 36. LINE INPUT: ⁄4” balanced (TRS) 10K ohm impedance input. The tip is the positive input, which should be used for unbalanced inputs. It has 20 dB less gain than the XLR input and does not have phantom power available. The Mic and Line input

1 1 41. MONITOR OUT (XLR and ⁄4"): ⁄4" unbalanced and XLR balanced outputs of the monitor mix designed to feed an external monitor amplifier (Pin 2 is positive). The output level (nominal +4 dBu) is set by the individual channel, monitor-send controls and by the master monitor fader. 1 1 42. MAIN OUTPUTS (XLR and ⁄4"): ⁄4" unbalanced and XLR balanced outputs of the Left and Right mixes. The output level is set by the master Left and Right faders. The nominal levels are +4dBu. 43.

INSTALLATION The S-14 has an extensive and impressive list of features and functions designed to make achieving good sound for worship as easy as possible. To reach this goal, please carefully read and follow the planning and setup procedure described below even if you are experienced with sound system setup. It will take a bit of time to complete the full procedure but you will be rewarded with better sound and easier operation. As you go through this procedure, you will notice that you will be

Planning the installation: The different inputs on the S-14 are designed for different functions. Before starting the installation, it is important to plan what will be connected to each input and output. NOTE: Many of the benefits that the S-14 offers require careful initial setup. This can all be quickly undone by curious fingers on a panel full of neat looking knobs and switches. When you plan and install this product, make sure that it is installed where the operator can hear the sound syste

The S-14 has two additional buses that allow mics to be grouped for noise reduction and compression. Try to group mics together on adjacent inputs that will be used together. Singing mics, particularly hand held mics, should be assigned to the SOLO group since it has a filter to reduce rumble and handling noise. Instruments are best routed to the CHOIR group. Input channel 10 can be assigned to the choir group or REC. When set to REC, it will go to the IMPORTANT ➧ Record and Auxiliary outputs on

A switch is provided to engage the AUTO-LEVEL circuit to reduce the dynamic range of the recording. OTHER OUTPUTS: Auxiliary (AUX) output. This output can be used for sending audio to other places, Aux Out such as the narthex, cry room, nursery etc. or it can be used as a broadcast feed.
