OVERALL DIMENSIONS FIGURE 3 Weight M615 M615AS Net 2.2 kg (4 Ib 13 oz) Combined Net 2.3 kg (4 Ib 15 oz) 5 kg (11 Ib) Packaged 2.9 kg (6 Ib 7 oz) 5.6 kg (12 Ib 4 02) CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS PlNK NOISE LEVEL Control: Sets pink noise generator output level. INPUT LEVEL Control: Sets input signal level and LO LED threshold to the analyzer. ABOVE 1 KHz Switch: Selects either a flat resultant high-frequency response or a smooth resultant high- frequency 3 dB per octave rolloff above 1 kHz. INPUT OVERLOAD LED: Lights if INPUT LEVEL control is set too high for input signal level, causing erroneous M615 LED indications. MIC OVERLOAD LED: Lights with excessive micro- phone input levels, indicating need to switch in 15 dB attenuator or reduce pink noise level. HI/LO ENVELOPE Control: Adjusts the HI LED threshold relative to the LO LED threshold. The resultant fre- quency response envelope may be varied from 2 to 12 dB (%I to +6 dB). HIILO LEDs: The LO LED for each octave lights if the input signal within its octave is below the lower thresh- old set by the INPUT LEVEL control. The HI LED for each octave lights if the input signal is above the upper threshold set by the HI/LO ENVELOPE control. PlNK NOISE GENERATOR OUTPUT - AUX LEVEL Con- nector: Provides pink noise generator output connec- tion to aux-level inputs. PlNK NOISE GENERATOR OUTPUT - MIC LEVEL Con- nector: Provides pink noise generator output connec- tion to microphone-level inputs. PlNK NOISE GENERATOR OUTPUT - MICROPHONE MI- PEDANCE Switch: Selects low- or high-impedance pink noise generator microphone-level output. MICROPHONE INPUT - 15 dB ATTENUATOR Switch: Reduces microphone input sensitivity to avoid micro- phone preamplifier overload. Affects microphone input only. MICROPHONE INPUT - FLATlES615 Switch: Selects either flat response or low-frequency boost comple- menting the response characteristics of the ES615 Analyzer Microphone, making the system response flat. Affects microphone input only. MICROPHONE INPUT Connector: Provides microphone input to analyzer. MICROPHONE INPUT - IMPEDANCE Switch: Selects low- or high-impedance microphone input to analyzer. AUX INPUT Connectors: Provides input to analyzer from mixers, amplifiers or other aux level input signals. In addition, accepts aux level output of pink noise gen- erator (using the supplied cable) for self-testing purposes. Automatically disables MICROPHONE INPUT if plug is inserted. AUX OUTPUT Connector: Provides for monitoring or connection to accessory instrumentation. This con- nector is in parallel with the analyzer AUX LEVEL input connectors, or monitors the equalized microphone pre- amplifier output if the AUX INPUT connectors are not in use. PRELIMINARY SETUP The following should be performed prior to using the M615AS Equalization Analyzer System: 1. Remove the protective cap from the grille assembly of the ES615 Analyzer Microphone. This cap should be used during transit and storage only. 2. Install the tilt bracket assembly on the M615 Equal- ization Analyzer as follows: Attach the No. 6-32 machine screws and capnuts in the two lower holes at the front of the M615 cover. Make certain the cap- nuts are on the outside of the cover. Insert the ends of the tilt bracket through the two upper holes at the front of the M615 cover. Slip the plastic caps over each end of the tilt bracket. Swing the tilt bracket downward against the front panel so that the machine screw heads provide a detent to stop the bracket from sliding (see Figure 4). Note that the M615 can be replaced in its carrying case with the tilt bracket in place and extending straight outward from the front panel. M615 WITH TILT BRACKET FIGURE 4 3. Model M615-2E: The Model M615-2E is supplied with a detachable line cord without a three-pin male power connector. Obtain a suitable three-pin male plug and attach it to the line cord. The plug should be installed by qualified service personnel. The brown lead goes to the "hot" or "live" terminal, the blue lead to the neutral terminal, and the green/yel- low lead to the ground or earth terminal. Select the proper voltage range (90-125 or 180-250 Vac) using the rear-panel VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch.
