SUM100

LINE/SUM/LINE AMPLIFIER

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

DESCRIPTION

The SUM100 Summing Amplifier is an inexpensive, high performance amplifier

that is designed as a line level stereo to mono summing amplifier. It is also useful

as a gain block, and as an impedance converter and summing for IHF (RCA

type) signals.

The inputs provide balanced 40Kohm bridging impedance for line levels up to

+24dBm. The high input impedance allows the SUM100 inputs to also bridge -

10dBu (hi-fi, RCA plug) lines without loading.

Front panel, screwdriver adjust, full range gain controls provide 26dB gain at full

clockwise rotation, unity gain at twelve o’clock and a smooth audio taper to full

off. The output driver is a servo controlled, ground-sensing circuit, which will

supply over +22dBm to 600 ohm balanced loads and +20dBu to high impedance,

unbalanced loads. The SUM100 uses rugged XLR type input and output

connectors.

Loop-through DC connectors allow several NANOAMPS to share a single

external 24VDC power supply. Battery packs and DC-DC converters for portable

use are also available.

Up to three amplifiers will mount side-by-side in only one rack unit using the

available rack mounting kits. NANOAMPS may also be neatly stacked or

mounted side by- side on your desk with the available angled desk mounting kits.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

INPUT STAGES

The balanced input stages of the SUM100 Line Amplifier utilize a FET input

LF347 quad op-amp in a clean, quiet inverting instrumentation amplifier

configuration. Input levels up to +24dBm will be handled without clipping, excess

levels cause only clean clipping without hang-up or phase reversal. Equal -6dB

gains from both HI and LO inputs allow unbalanced sources to be easily

accommodated. Bridging impedance is a high 40Kohms with good CMR. Linear

panel adjust trimpots for both left and right signals are designed to be operated at

their 12 o’clock position for maximum resolution.

SUMMING AMPLIFIER

Left and right signals are combined in an active summing network (A1B) which

yields unity gain for each individual signal, three dB gain (RMS summation) for

program audio signals and six dB gain for correlated inputs.

GAIN STAGE

A low noise NE5532 section (A1A) provides 26dB maximum gain. A linear control

is used in a unique circuit configuration to provide a wide range logarithmic

MASTER gain control characteristic in a variable gain stage with optimum noise

performance. Output noise at unity gain is low enough to allow performance to

exceed 16-bit digital dynamic range even at -10dBu nominal output. Unity overall

gain is achieved at approximately 12 o’clock pot position.

LINE OUTPUT

The balanced output stage of the SUM100 utilizes a unique active balanced

output driver IC, the Analog Devices SSM2142, that senses whether the

connected load is balanced and floating or is unbalanced due to either side being

grounded. A balanced output load will be driven with equal and antiphase levels

on the HI and LO output lines.

An unbalanced (one side grounded) load will cause the driver IC to shut off the

signal output to the grounded side of the load and double the output level applied

to the other side, thus maintaining equal output to either type of load. The output

stage provides 6dB gain and will drive loads of 600 ohms and higher. Nominal

output is +4dBm with clipping at +22dBm (10Vrms) into 600 ohm balanced loads

for 18dB nominal headroom. Maximum output is reduced to +20dBu (7.8Vrms)

when driving an unbalanced load since the full output swing of only one driver is

available. This still provides a very comfortable 30dB of headroom above the

typical -10dBu nominal unbalanced signal.

POWER SUPPLY

The SUM100 requires 22 to 30VDC and are designed to share a common

external 24VDC "Wall Wart" type power supply. A pair of loop-thru DC

connectors on the rear of each module permits several units to be daisy-chained

with P/N20602-1 DC power cables to a single power supply. The WA100-1 and

WA100-2 (230VAC) are 400Ma supplies. The SUM100 draws 70mA. Any

combination of amplifiers, which add up to less than the supply rating, can be

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

Inspect the equipment. If there is any visible damage to the unit or to the box it

came in, contact the factory but do not return anything to ATI without prior

authorization and shipping instructions. It may be necessary to have the shipping

company inspect the unit and the box at your location. Count the pieces! Don't

throw out the boxes and packing material until you are sure you have everything

that is coming to you. The amplifiers need either their own separately ordered

WA100 power supply or a DC cable, P/N20602-1 to share the supply of another

amplifier.

Rack and desk mounting hardware may be packed in with the unit even though

ordered separately. Wall mount power supplies must be ordered separately but

may either be included with the unit or shipped in their own box.

MOUNTING

Single desk mounting kits consist of a pair of angled base plates that mount

under the lower front and rear cover screws of a single unit, to raise and to tilt it

for easy use. In addition, one or more sets of vertical stacking plates, mounting to

the upper front and rear cover screws of the bottom unit, allow multiple units to

be stacked. Several units can be desk mounted side-by-side and even stacked

side-by-side using horizontal joiner kits together with mounting base and stacker

kits. P/N20617-501 is the angled base kit. P/N20617-502 is the base plus one

stacker kit (two high). P/N20617-503 is the base plus two stackers (three high).

P/N20617-504 is the stacker kit by itself and P/N20604-504 is a horizontal joiner

kit.

Rack mount system 21075-501 mounts three units in one rack.

WIRING

AUDIO CONNECTIONS

Balanced XLR type inputs and outputs are wired per figure 1 with pins 2 as HI

and pins 3 as LOW. Pin 1 is the cable shield and ground connection. Pin 1 is

grounded as shipped but may be floated to interrupt a hum producing ground

loop by opening the unit and clipping out the GND LIFT jumpers. Unbalanced

lines use pin 2 as HI and ground pins 3 and 1.

Active balanced outputs and inputs require a reference ground connection to the

source or receiving device for proper operation. This ground can be provided by

the rack frame or a studio buss connection if it is not carried through by the

output cable shield.

GROUNDING

Operation in high RF broadcast environments requires special attention to

grounding and shielding. The chassis must be grounded directly to a good, low

impedance studio ground system. Input and output connections must be properly

shielded and free of ground loops. It may even be necessary to add shielding to

the DC input leads to avoid RF pickup.

POWER DISTRIBUTION

Multiple amplifiers sharing a single wall-wart power supply should be looped

through each other using the DC interconnect cables P/N20602-1. Hum and

noise performance of the units can be degraded by poor DC ground connections

between units sharing a common supply, use of the recommended rack and desk

mounting kits will assure a good ground connection between units by firmly

strapping their chassis together.

CAUTION! The outer shell of the DC interconnect cables is positive relative to

the chassis. Do not allow a DC cable plugged into a powered unit to hang loose

where it might short against the chassis or rack frame.

OPTIONS

230VAC

The WA100-2 tabletop power supply accepts 230VAC/50-60Hz via an IEC320

male 3 pin AC input connector. User supplies a matching line cord for the local

power system.

BATTERY OPERATION

Alkaline battery packs (BBU100-1) and 24VDC converters for operation from 12V

belt pack or automotive batteries (DC100-1) power modules are available.

MAINTENANCE

There is no routine maintenance required. If you have a problem, check panel

LED indicators to assure that the units have DC power, eliminate by substitution

input and output cables, connectors, downstream devices, DC interconnect

cables and Wall Wart power supplies.

POWER SUPPLY LEVELS

The recommended loaded DC input voltage range is 22VDC minimum to 32VDC

maximum over the full range of AC line voltage tolerances. The audio circuits

continue to work with reduced headroom below 22VDC. Momentary surges up to

36VDC will cause some increased internal heating, but above 36VDC may cause

IC failure.

OPERATING POINTS

An internal reference voltage equal to 1/2 the supply voltage is generated. All

audio stage IC inputs and outputs should show a DC level equal to this voltage

when measured with a high impedance meter. Audio inputs and outputs are

capacitor coupled and ground referenced.

MODIFICATIONS

ADDITIONAL GAIN

If more gain is required for a particular application increase the values of R25

(left) and R34 (right). 20K ohms adds 6dB, 30K ohms adds 10dB, 62K adds

16dB, 100K adds 20dB. A corresponding decrease in the input clipping level will

result.
