1. Setting up the console - Page 109

Pearl 2008 Manual - 16th July 2007

CHAPTER ONE

1. Setting up the console

This chapter contains: Connecting mains power; connecting DMX lines;

connecting MIDI devices; connecting audio; the disk drive; other back

panel connections and controls; desk modes.

1.1 Connecting up

1.1.1 Connecting mains power

Important! Before connecting the mains power to the Pearl you must

check if the Pearl has a voltage selector switch next to the mains

socket; if it does, make sure it is set to match your mains supply. It

can be set to 120V or 220V.

If the Pearl does not have a voltage selector switch you can safely

connect it to any voltage from 80 to 260V.

If you connect mains power with the switch set incorrectly, you will

probably blow up the power supply unit. If this happens you will need

to shamefacedly return the console to Avolites for repair.

1.1.2 Connecting DMX lines

The Pearl can output DMX down 4 separate lines. When you patch a

dimmer or fixture you can tell the Pearl which DMX line it is on. The

lines are identified by the letters A,B,C,D. Normally A comes out of

output 1, B comes from 2, C from 3, and D from 4, but just to add to

the fun you can swap this round if you want (see Patching, section 2).

The 4 DMX outputs come out of the 5 pin XLR sockets on the back of

the console. The Pearl 2004 onwards have four separate sockets. The

Pearl 2000 had only two sockets with two DMX lines on each, so you

need splitter cables to access all four lines on the Pearl 2000. They are

wired like this:

1 & 3 2=Data -

1 & 3 4=Data -

5=Data +

4 (normally D) 4 2=Data -

3=Data +

2 & 4 4=Data -

5=Data +

The sockets marked “1 & 3” and “2 & 4” on the newer Pearls have pins

4 and 5 connected to the other DMX lines as with the Pearl 2000,

making the newer consoles pin-compatible with the Pearl 2000 if

replacing one console with the other.
