Furman Sound HDS-16 用户指南

matically mute all HRM-16 sends except the 

channel D stereo and talkback outputs. This 

unique feature allows each musician to hear a 

rough or fi nal mix and send soloed tracks from 

the mix console. This eliminates the need for 

musicians to relocate to the control room or 

manually change their HRM-16 level settings. 

Note: Both the solo func tion on the HDS-16 and 

the talkback system on the HRM-16 can be ac ti -

vat ed man u al ly using their front panel con trols or 

by op tion al remote switch es.

The HDS-16, a 2-U rack-mountable device 

normally located near the main mixing console, 

provides the power and signal conditioning 

for a maximum of eight HRM-16’s. Individual 

channel sends from the console connect to the 

HDS-16 inputs. 

The front panel serves as the patch bay for all 

input connections: eight mono and four stereo 

¼-inch and TT input connectors. All connec-

tors are balanced and use the Tip/Ring/Sleeve 

(TRS) wiring convention. Both ¼-inch and TT 

connectors can be used but not for the same 

channel. If both con nec tor types are used for 

the same channel, the TT connector will be ac-
tive and ¼-inch connector will be disabled. 

Figure 2 shows the TALKBACK connectors at 

the far left of the front panel. Connect the mix 

con sole’s line-level, talkback-microphone out-

put or cue send to the HDS-16’s ¼-inch INPUT 

jack. This signal is distributed to the HRM-16s 

on the Centronics cable along with the other 

channels. Use the RETURN FROM HRM-16 

connector to monitor talkback from the HRM-
