Mechanical Construction

All the operating electronics and connectors of the Director system are installed in a 9U high, rack mountable frame. As described in the text, slots for optional equipment are always exisiting. If the particular modules are not installed, blind plugs and blind panels are installed in these slots.

The power supply unit is not installed in the 9U high main frame but a separate, 3U high, rack mounted device. A 3 meter cable for the connection main-frame - power supply unit is included. Failsafe power supply systems are possible using a second power supply unit and a cross device.

All connectors and controls, like trim-pots, etc. are mounted on the front panels of the respective modules. The main frame can either be mounted with the connector side at the front (for easy access), or at the rear of the rack. The removeable and adjustable rack-mount brackets that can be mounted on either end of the frame facilitate this. An available securtiy scrren with cable guit can also be used to hide the unts.

The operating modules are connected to the remote modules with separate control cables that do not carry audio signals. With the exception of the bass redirector, which is a double wide module, the size of all remote control devices is 190 mm x 40 mm with a mounting depth of only 60 mm including connected, but without attached cable. The module have a 3 mm thick, front panel and can be adapted for front plates and mounting frame up to 7 mm thick. Therefore, installation is possible almost anywhere without further modification.The diemnsions of the modules allow installation in the fader area as well as in the computer remote section of any adt-audio console. Since all modules are constructed individually, devices can be ordered separately. All remote units of the Director system can also be delivered in adt-audio's V700 module format
