4 introduction this manual contains complete service information for the sr40•8 and sr56•8 mixing consoles and power supply. Operating instructions will be touched on briefly. For complete operating instructions refer to the owner’s manual. For simplicity, this manual will refer to both products as ...
5 system overview the sr40•8 in a nutshell this section provides a quick summary of the sr40•8’s major features. It is not intended to take the place of the owner’s manual. It is included here to help servicing technicians familiarize themselves with the sr40•8. Mixing channel controls manipulate mi...
6 stage monitors & effects every channel, as well as each of the four main aux returns (a1-a4), has eight aux send controls. Per channel, aux sends 1-4 can be switched to be post-fader (for effects sends) or pre-eq/pre-fader (for stage monitors). Aux sends 5-8 have a similar switch, post-fader (for ...
7 talkback & intercom the sr40•8’s extensive talkback section allows the engineer to speak into several outputs via a master talkback switch, with assignment switches for aux 1-4, aux 5-8, l/r mix, an external talkback output, and one switch for each matrix (a-d). Talkback microphones are patched in...
8 ultra mute function summary general • there are 9 sets of 10 groups each, for a total of 90 groups. Up to 10 groups can be active at a time within a set. • there are 100 snapshots (00-99). Only one snapshot can be active at a time. • snapshot 00 is loaded into the console when it is first powered ...
9 clear • in group mode, used to turn off all active groups. Press and hold clear for two seconds, then release to turn off all mutes on the console. This also indicates which groups have been programmed (programmed groups’ leds light up, unprogrammed groups’ leds do not). • in group preview mode, c...

13 circuit theory analog circuits / signal path the sr40•8 signal path begins with hybrid (discrete/op-amp) mic/line preamps. After the mic/line preamp, the circuitry is largely op-amp based. The function of audio op-amp “building blocks” should be self-evident from the schematics (if not, you need ...
14 mic/line preamp the sr40•8 uses mackie’s famous low-noise, high headroom mic/line preamp design. The circuit has been revised since the version you may be familiar with from the earlier mackie products. It’s topology is more elaborate than a standard discrete differential pair feeding an op-amp a...
15 solo control circuit the sr40·8 has two interlinked solo systems. One serves all inputs: channels 1 to 40, aux returns a1-a4, b1-b4, and tape inputs a and b. The other serves all outputs: subs 1-8, aux sends 1-8, left, center, right, and matrices a-d. Separate push-switches select between pre-fad...
16 input solo logic at any input, depressing the solo switch connects 5v to the solo led and to the solo control bus solo-cntl-ip via a 4148 diode. The cathode of the solo led connects to the flash bus flash via a 220-ohm current-limiting resistor. The flash bus is a current sink and only operates w...
17 other matters diode or gate d4 and d5 drive comparator u2a, whose output goes low whenever solo-cntl-ip or solo-cntl-op is high. U2a’s active low output drives the lcr-mute line, which controls shunt-series analog switches u1209a, u1209b, u1209c, and u1209d. Q2 operates as a 25 ma current source ...
18 clear com interface the clear com production intercom system is the de-facto standard within the music industry. The sr40·8 has an integral clear com interface that emulates a standard belt pack and ties it into the console’s headphone system. To use it, you use the console’s talkback microphone ...
19 transmit signal path the transmit signal path begins at the talkback microphone. The intercom interface takes the line level signal at u1705a and sends it to the intercom sub-system via jp1704 and jp1803. Analog switch u1801a passes the transmit audio when the intercom button has been pressed. U1...
20 ignore switch (rev 6 pcb) if the sr40·8 shares the intercom line with the lighting company, there is a high degree of activity on the line, which would ordinarily be distracting to the mix engineer. The ignore switch isolates the sr40·8 from the intercom line, while still allowing it to be access...

22 ultra mute circuit description ultra mute is a microprocessor based system that stores and recalls specific mute states on the sr40•8 console. The system uses a 12mhz 80c51 processor. The 80c51 cpu produces a 14 bit address. The lower 8 bits are latched by a 74hc573 from the multiplexed address/d...
