System Design Guide for Installations

Introduction

AV installations have evolved greatly due to the evolution of technology.

The evolution of video, lighting and network technologies has created new

experience-based services to appear and trigger the demand for a new approach.

Because of this, proper technical knowledge for this new environment is becoming

more and more essential, and this knowledge is required not only from system

engineers, but also from salespeople in order to guide customers into creating a

successful system.

We have produced this design guide to meet such needs, and to visually present

project proposals more clearly by illustrating system examples based on application

or project type.

DSP Sound Easy Control via
Space Saving Adjustment Smartphones

Microphones and other audio equipment inside the conference room


can be all managed using the 1U sized MX-8A matrix mixer, which can
be mounted in a rack with other equipment creating a compact and
space-saving system. Detailed sound field and microphone levels can
be configured with the TASCAM MX CONNECT control software for
integrators, while using the TASCAM EZ CONNECT control software will
allow end-users to easily adjust volume or select sources for the entire
room.
The MX-8A has a 2 in / 2 out USB audio interface function, making it possible
to directly record to or playback minutes files from a computer. The USB
I/O also allows the use of software conferencing applications directly with
the in-room audio system, for connecting remote meeting attendees.
Equipped with balanced audio outputs, the BD-MP1 professional-grade
Blu-ray player can be added to this system for video playback.

This system can be constructed by adding the SS-R250N to a sound


system based on the MX-8A. Easy-to-hear audio enhances the ability to
transcribe minutes efficiently by incorporating the MX-8A between the
microphones and the recorder.
This allows appropriate sound level adjustment using the EQ and
compressor sound processing functions creating the optimal audio
quality for transcriptions.
In addition to recording to SD cards and USB flash memory, the
SS-R250N can also automatically upload recorded data to FTP
servers, making it easier to archive or manage recorded files for later
transcription.

Multi-person Individual Speaker DAW Linked


Mic Control Recording

For larger conference systems where loudspeakers are installed and


each attendee has an individual microphone, a mixer that supports
multiple mic input connection like Model 24 is required.
Model 24’s 16 mic preamps support up to 16 microphones and has the
function to work as a multi-track recorder or as a USB audio interface.
Used as a multi-track recorder, each audio channel is recorded on a
separate track, allowing easier track down of each attendee’s voice by
just linking them to their respective input channel.

This system can be used for a wide variety of purposes such as
streaming lectures or training sessions remotely to satellite offices and
sites, or sharing performance reports to shareholders, etc.

Installation Procedures Audio Transmission Recording

This conference recording system is optimal for large-scale conferences


in which each participant requires individual microphones. The MM-4D/
IN Dante converter allows the connection of up to 4 microphones per
unit; after audio is converted to Dante signals, these can be transmitted
long distances, requiring less wiring and installation procedures.
The built-in DSP functions in the MM-4D/IN, such as high pass filter and
limiter, will enable fine adjustment for a more articulate audio quality.
In addition, routing signals via Dante will give users the option to do
multi-channel recordings.

recitals are often held. Audio sources from microphones and playback
devices can be flexibly routed to the 22-channel analog inputs that
consist of 20 balanced inputs (12 mono, 4 stereo) and 1 unbalanced
stereo input.
Model 24 will provide full and flexible connectivity for events like
recitals and concerts in which multiple microphones are required, as
well as wireless background music playback through the Bluetooth
receiver included on the unit. In addition, Model 24’s recording function
also allows the recording of important speeches and recitals.

The ML-4D/OUT enables line output to 4 different areas, and with the
included compressor, EQ, and other DSP functions, optimal sound
adjustment can be done for each individual area. Adjustments can
be registered as presets, making it easier to recall the optimal sound
setting for each area.
Moreover, adding extra MM-4D/IN and ML-4D/OUT units will allow
for the expansion of input and output channels, even if there are
many rooms to control. All units can be managed through a network

Using VS-R264 / VS-R265’s encoding and decoding functions, video


images on a computer can be shown on multiple displays allowing the
construction of digital signage systems for office buildings, stations,
hotel lobbies, etc.
Also, adding a PoE+ network switch will eliminate the need for using AC
power supplies, making it possible to reduce space and construction
procedure costs.

Flexible Routing Easy Expansion Control

Create easy communication systems between multiple recording booths


and the main control room using Dante network audio. Flexible connection
and routing can be done via Dante Controller without the need to send
signals through the recording console and other lines.
Moreover, adding the MM-2D (2 mic / line in / out), MM-4D/IN (4 mic in), and
ML-4D (4 line out) Dante converters will allow for a flexible expansion of
input and output channels.
Each unit is equipped with a DSP mixer, allowing gain control and other
functions be adjusted via TASCAM DCP CONNECT control software.

Transmission Management

Transmit Dante signals by connecting


both the live remote site (OB vans) and
the main studio using a LAN network.
Once program material is sent back to
the studio via Dante, it can be mixed
with other audio sources and then be
broadcasted.
Using the MM-2D (2 mic in / 2 line out)
will also facilitate voice communication
between studios and remote sites.

6-3 PA/SR system using Dante

Flexible Recording
Cable Reduction Remote Operation
and Playback

Significantly reduce physical wiring connections between the stage


and PA mixer by applying Dante multi-channel audio transmission. This
allows the transmission of audio data, but also control signals for each
Dante device settings.
Adding an SS-CDR250N 2-channel audio recorder/player to the system
will enable background music playback and program recording. In
addition, the DA-6400 64-channel recorder/player can be adapted to
any application in which multi-track recording / playback is required.
For ambient sound recordings, the MM-4D/IN-X will easily add and
connect mic signals onto the Dante system. When on the same network,
remote configuration of mic gain and dynamics can be done using the
TASCAM DCP CONNECT control software.

Long Distance
Cable Reduction Easy Expansion Transmission

By applying Dante long distance multi-channel audio transmission, PA


systems can easily be expanded with the minimum quantity of cables
to areas other than the main stage including sub-stages or the entrance
halls.
Combining MM-4D/IN (4 mic / line in) and ML-4D/OUT (4 line out) to the
system will flexibly handle the required number of inputs and outputs.
In addition, the installed DSP mixer on all Dante Compact Processor
models will allow for the optimal sound adjustment for each different
location and environment.
